By Neeta

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

Visit at Karla Lane

By Neeta


I never visited such historical caves ever before. I heard about it and read on Google what exactly it has and have an interest to visit there. It is on high hills due to which Mr. hubby is not ready. It will be very hectic as our daughter was very small and I am very miserable at climbing up 😒


But now after a couple of years we decided to have a one day trip which is very convenient and we successfully made it. It has been told there is nothing to see in karla lane and it is in miserable condition. But I am very curious to visit historical place and their architectures which is around 2000 years before. With proper maintenance it could be more secure for tourist but you know what is the actual status of our Tourism Department especially for Maharashtra. Forts are also in miserable condition😔

All I want that please adore these caves from my lenses. I am sure you will love it.

Some information 😊 I do not think to update here, but as a travel blogger it is rituals....haaa...haaa... to update whatever you know it might be helpful apart from “Google Baba”.


How to travel: The most convenient is hiring a vehicle or have it your own. Mumbai- Pune highway road trip is most comfortable for kids. You will get plenty of option for food and resting.


Cost: Nothing apart from your vehicle and food expense. As it is free of cost with minimal entry fee Rs.10/- per person.


When to visit: It has been said the best season is rainy season where you can lure out greenery and will find some waterfall inside the cave. But I think it is more dangerous because there is the message to be cautious at every lane. So better to go in winter or in summer when your kids have holiday.


Height: No, it is not that much on high though it is situated on hill top. But at some distance you can park your car and easily climb up with the staircase.


Historical Information: Everything is available on Goggle. But still why I love this place is because it is historical and it is a prayer house of Buddhist monk. Moreover it is built by stone and wood structure. It has most of stone carving. It is called as Chaitygrihas. Dome like structure is called Chaitya and monks are living here and they do allow the trade person to take rest here so it is called grihas.  This cave comprise of 16 rock cut excavation which I think we are unable to count due to destruction.


It has semi circular ceiling which is main object of worship which is surrounded by wooden carving. 


Each pillar have sculpture of man and women. There are some messages written on pillar which is in Brahmi language. 


Stone have carving of three elephants which is broken 😒



One of the most favorite think that it has our preamble-  Ashokan Pillars which have carving of Buddha seated on a lion.

Carla lanes carved around 2000 years ago around the 2nd century of BC. 


Ekvira Goddes temple is near the entrance of Lane.


We enjoyed it as our family trip with small bachcha party and hope you also like it.

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
