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

What should I write ? People from our community knows each and everything about him. If you really want to thankful to him....." DO FOLLOW HIS WORD FOR YOURSELF NOT TO SHOW OFF TO THE SOCIETY"

It is "HE", because of who "TODAY WE HAVE A SPACE IN THIS SOCIETY" DO NOT FORGET THIS, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ACT SHOULD NOT DISRESPECT  HIM"

But the sad thing that "YES, TILL TODAY IN SOME PLACES UNTOUCHABILITY IS PRACTICE, STILL THE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO ENTER IN A TEMPLE. THERE ARE SOME PLACES WHERE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER. WE ARE STILL NOT GET HIGHER POST IN OFFICES.

I had an experience of this till in 2019. I hope that will change one day. 


Anyway, I am herewith sharing with you how we celebrate this festival. Because there are many people who still do not know why and how this festival is celebrated. This is one of the biggest festival for us. There are various kind of celebration carried out on this day to give out the tribute to Dr. Ambedkar. I am sharing with you how celebration is carried out from 12.00 am of the previous day up to 10.00pm on next day. 


Celebration began from 13th April @ 12.00 am. Ambedkar Jayanti procession carried out by his followers in each state, each region and each galli. (lane).


Procession preceded by dhol- tasha music, blue coloured flag, The truck is decorated with flowers , garland on the photo frames of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Songs were played in praise of Ambedkar. Every single followers with 'WHITE COLOURED OUTFIT"gathered at the statue of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar for prayer meet.


The celebration of this festival at home is also a unique. Those who are not able to join the procession, can do the prayer at home at 12.00 a.m. sharp. We used to do from our childhood.


Next day, Rangoli is drawn in front of the door and we girls love to have mehandi.😊

We always make a sweet dish.Some people also host the blue coloured flag on the gallery or window. Kheer with Puri is essential meal that every home have on this day.


There are lots of programmes are carried out in each society, banks, offices....almost everywhere. 
You will got to see this kind of hoarding all over India.

Programme of the day 

Medical camp on this day followed with Prayer Meet.


drawing competition for small kiddos.....




Also each society have some orchestra, dance and music competition too. It is been so long, the way we celebrated in our childhood, it is the same way we still celebrated and this will be continue to the next generation.


My appeal to everyone :
 KEEP THE Gratitude AND RESPECT TO OUR FATHER "DR. BHIMRAO AMBEDKAR".
TRY TO TRANSFER THE SAME WITH OUR YOUNGER GENERATION, BUT DO NOT TRANSFER THE "HATE" TOWARDS OTHER RELIGION. DO TRY TO SPREAD ONLY "LOVE" WHATEVER IS THE SITUATION.

THEN ONLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO BRING PEACE IN THE SOCIETY. 
FOLLOW BUDDHISIM...!!

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 in vacation

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
