How are you ? April is started already and how life is going? Steady or with full speed? Mine is going with full speed. Mini vacation are over and school has started. Again we are busy with school, study little bit and toddlers play time. Healthy dinners are the most important part of our Indian houses. We Indian families have everyday dinner together because it is the time where we meet each other and we talk with each other.  This was the scene of our childhood lives. Many of you agreed with it.  But,  In my house dinner time is where we strictly off the screens whether it is big or small screens and talk over the meal.  Dinner is the special time where we all have meals with discussion and laughter so we did it mindfully.  A healthy dinner has always been my goal. Earlier there was a house help when my baby was small but now we don't have any help. So the goal is to cook food at home and have a meal with the family, which is sometimes very difficult. But with meal planning I ma

Hello friends,

As I promised to take you on tour of Anandwan as much as possible. You all know how this small land cultivated by Mr. Baba Amte into Anandwan. So lets go…….....
Lok Biradari Prakalap

Salute to the vision of Mr. Baba Amte!!  He developed this land for leprosy-affected people and now it becomes a small town that have hospital, school, college, hostel, post office and bank too.  All financial support is from abroad. Our Indian Government not able to provide as much as possible support, in terms of providing doctors, pathologist, vehicles and many more. 


Sandhiniketan Apangachi Karmashala. This place is the workshop for handicapped people. They provide a job too.


 Handmade greeting cards by these handicapped people which are exported.


This is one of my favorites…. Kasthashilp Vibhag ( Carpentary)




All carpentry things made by the Leprosy people. Look at this chair..!!! Even the person who have two hand with 10 fingers cannot made such beauty.




These are the beautiful things which made by this people who were suffering leprosy which is cured now.


Next is Hatmag Vinai….(Handmade Sewing)


Towels, bedsheet, sarri, etc. all things made by this blind people.

Lokbiradari Ashramshala….Hostel for boys.


Shramadan….you might heard about this. It was shown on Sunday 21 May 2017 on news channel, they have completed 50 years of Shramadan. It means all young boys and girls or anyone who want to do work they can join their hands and devoted their time to have some Shrama means work. Do u know these people built 7 manmade lake by doing this kind of Shramdan.  They do not face still any water scarcity. Farms of this Anadwan have enough amount of water throughout the year.

Every morning the young girls and boys have to do their daily Shramdan for Andavan.  This is one of the good habits they are cultivating into the young mind.


Boys supposed to bring some green stick of tree for the domestic animals and have to feed them.


Both boys and girls need to cut the vegetables, which are required to prepare food.



This is the big kitchen and canteen where everyone can get the food, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. All vegetables are from that place only. Nobody needs to go market to buy the foodstuff.

Beauty of Kashmir

Hi, there Excited to be a part of #Speakeasy2.1 blog challenge hosted by Dipika and Ruchi. Travelling is one of our (me and Mr. hubby) favorite thing. We do travel a lot and love to collect the memories and hence my blog is “Memory Flies”   As soon as I read the theme “Most memorable travel” my mind starts  hopping and makes me realizes our all memorable travels. It is very difficult for me to pick out the one. My dream destination of India is the South pole " KANYAKUMARI " and the North pole “KASHMIR” . Thanks to Mr. Hubby fulfilled my both dreams.   Today I am sharing my KASHMIR tour which was in 2018 with small kiddos and family. Traveling in hilly areas with small kids is not that much difficult. KASHMIR the word itself gives the feeling of immense beauty and  warmth. Kashmir is the place that you can feel and rejuvenate yourself. The peaceful nature and beauty of Kashmir attract travelers from all over the world every year. Due to its geographical location, it i

Happy Weekend.... Disclaimer: I am not professional; I am inspired by Montessori Method. This is my experience which is worked for us and wants to share with you. Depend on your child’s interest, you can start with the various activities which keep your toddler active and build confidence within them. Saee is 2.5 years now; I think it is the right age to start with her the learning activities. She also loves to play with different kind of activities which mumma sets for her, and asking more and more. Montessori is an education method which is based on self-directed activity, hands on learning and collaborative play. These are the basic activities for the children at different ages and to the individual personalities of each child. The main function is to help and allow the child to develop independence in all areas according to his or her inner psychological directives. I am sharing with you five easy and DIY (do it yourself) learning activities. I set up this activit

Bhatukali -How many of you know this game?  I guess kids in the 90s and before that must know BHATUKALI. Still, if you don't know, not to worry, stick to the whole post. End of an era of online school Gyan we learn from our kids :  Be calm, accept the situation and enjoy it to the fullest. Our kids enjoyed the school in the same way (like offline)Irritating the teacher by asking questions like which subject is today? Can we write? Which lesson mam? Are you sending this in what's app group? Etc.  For kids, it was more fun but the truth is they missed school, friends, and teachers. Due to online schooling, we are able to evaluate our kid's performance as well as " teachers" performance. We get to know the flaws and strengths of our kids. As a parent, we should utilize it. Now it is vacation time and still, we have to schedule our kid's day, is it really necessary? This means, nowadays schools have everything in their syllabus from guitar to painting. But still,

Happiness is selfmade

It was 1 st January 2020 when one of my subscribers asked me to write on “HAPPINESS” and I did not write at that time. Because it was a really challenging one. I did not want to spread any negativity from my post. I tried but it seems to be more negative. Then I looked back to my life and observe, what is really Happiness to me? Thank you, dear subscriber. As it leads to me in deeper thoughts.   Since my childhood happiness is not equal to me. Then I thought, “NO” there are more countable days when I was happy. Like I was happy when I had my degree, my first job, my marriage, my house, my vehicle, my kid, etc. I think these are the milestone in everyone’s life and everybody tends to achieve it. Yep, it is a different thing that we want something else and we get something. 😊 This is called DESTINY. You will get what you DESERVE! But, As human beings we tend to think about such things which we are not able to achieve. Might be for satisfaction or passion. It is perfectly natu
