Tour of ND Studio

Hi, all,

Finally, the lockdown 4 is announced and I think it will be going on continuously. We all are aware of the situation. Will our Mumbai will be locked down for 6 months? Guessing and guessing, the saddest thing is we can keep only guessing and nothing.

" HOPE" is the only thing which we have. So never lose hope. These days will be passed and we will have a fresh restart again. 

 We are locked in our house so I want to take you all on tour, 😇, what do you think? 

Q: Where?

Ans: At ND Studio.

Q: Why? 

Ans: Because you all are stuck in a home so for a change come with me.😊

Q: We know it already?

Ans: I guess,😎 it is good. But still, those who do not know they can have a tour.

Q: Where it is?

Ans: It is in Karjat.

Q: What is there?

Ans: Actual Film Studio, as the name suggests ND Studio. It is designed by well know architect Mr. Nitin Desai. The whole studio is beautiful and extremely large beyond our imagination. Each set up is marvelous.

So, are you ready?

Lets, go................................😝

This is the outer wall and you might have seen this when you passed by this karjat road. Love the stone carving of these legends,

Entrance and ticket window where you have to buy a ticket. Do not go on the weekend because there will be a rush and you will get fed up. Try to go on weekdays when tickets have a discount and no rush. you can have a whole tour with patience and can have fun with your friends and family. 

Tip: Do not go with small kids below 4 years or babies. It will be exhausted.

The whole studio is designed by Mr. Nitin Chandrakant Desai. You will get the details on google. It is a very big studio. I will try to show up the main things as possible.

Everything is so huge!

You can have your photoshoot, pre-wedding photoshoot, videos of course by paying the huge amount😐

After the entrance, you will be asked to enter a theater where they will show the picture of the whole ND studio with information about everything related to the studio. You will also have one guide who will be with you for the whole tour of the studio.

Lockdown kids fun activity # 2

Hey all,

As I promised to share new activity on alternate days, so here I  am with new exciting activity. I hope you all like our previous one with smilies and have a fun time with your little ones. those who do not know please check the link : http://memoryflies.blogspot.com/2020/04/kids-activity-during-quarantine.html

I am giving one by one so that our child does not get bored. This one is pretty simple. Take out a paper, sketch pen and wax or crayon or whatever you have handy.

This is a simple drawing.

There is no rule that you have to draw this only. You can draw anything like a kite, Bunny, Elephant as per your kid's choice.

Just ask the child to take the colour pencil or sketch pen. I will suggest having a sketch pen. Ask them to draw a pattern on each line with a different colour. After that ask them to fill the gaps with contrast colour.

The final product is like this. Lovely?

Some Do's:
# Take the same pattern and sit with your child.
# Show them if they are confused with the pattern.
# Have a competition " Who can make a beautiful pattern".
# Boost your kid's confidence even if they are doing some tiny mistake.

We took almost 30 to 45 minutes to finish with a small break. 😊

What your child will learn?
Concentration,
Patience
Learn different patterns and colours.
Enhance their imagination.

Comment down with your fun pictures.

Till then,

Happy Parenting !!

Kids Activity During Quarantine

Hi, all,

I hope you all are safe inside your home and doing well during this quarantine. Our kids are precious ones because they listen to us without complaining, right. 

I am telling my daughter that Corona is sitting at the entrance of our lift and hence we can not go out. she simply considers this and never demands to go out, the poor girl as she trusts her mumma. But we don't have an option. I wonder we can do this to the elder one who is still not sitting inside the house and roaming here and there without a mask. 😖

Anyway, that is not the topic of my post. There are lots of games and activities which are flooded everywhere. Are you done with that? I am doing this activity when my child gets bored with everything and finally, she wanted to do something new. I introduce this one at a time so that she can not get bored. You know Mumma, today's generation kids get bored very quickly and they want new things fast. Without realizing what is it, they tend to get bored you know what is the reason for this? Internet, yes, the digital world where everything moves so fast. So our kids are becoming impatient as they want everything fast as they saw on TV or on Youtube. They know they can switch the channel if they don't like any content and the same way they want to do with their lives too. 

They get bored by reading, coloring, playing inside the home and bla,bla,bla, 😅, you know what I am saying. Keeping them busy during this quarantine is a bit difficult. Switching on TV, Playing with toys, drawing, TV, eating, jumping, again TV, this is the scenario of every home, 

I am doing some brain booster activity from last one week and she is enjoying it. So wanted to share with you. I hope your little one will learn something new. This is not age-restricted actually, anyone can do it.

I will be sharing on alternate days. You have plenty of time. so please prepare this and sit with your kids and have fun. Do only one or two at a time when they get bored with everything. Trust me they will love it. These are only 10 to 20 minute depending on your child's interest. I keep it for a small interval because you have to develop patience in them too.

This is a sheet where I drew smiles from our keyboard which we are using on a daily basis. 

Take a play dough and ask them to prepare the expression. 

It will look like this. They will make their own facial expression like that and that is the best fun part of it. 

Do this with your little one and comment me down below with your pictures. Ok, so get ready to have fun with us....!!!!

Do comment and share with your mommy friends.

Till then,

Happy Parenting !!

Carrot Cheese Sandwich

As a mommy blogger, I supposed to post some kid's recipe too. Yep, that is what I always wanted to share with my mommy friend and wanted to learn from them too. Trying the recipe which prepares quickly and the most important approved by my little one.😑 After all, we mom always wanted to feed them “Ghar Ka Khana” as much as possible but in a rare case that our every food is appreciated by them. We all know kids are always a picky eater.

The name suggests a simple sandwich recipe, and yes it is pretty simple having only 2 major ingredients and that is carrot and cheese. My daughter loves carrot and so I added that.  You can add as many vegetables along with the carrot. I don’t have at that time so I prepared it from scratch.

These are two spices and salt I use for flavor. Pizza masala gives a taste of pizza which makes a sandwich finished in a jiffy. 

Grate Amul cheese and carrot, add the above spices and mix well. I used brown bread but you can use any bread as per your choice.

Remove the outer crust of the bread, again it is optional. Apply tomato sauce or ketchup or any sauce as per your choice. Put this carrot the mixture on the bread slice generously and cover with the other slice of bread.

Heat up the pan. Add little bit butter and roast the sandwich from both sides until it becomes crunchy. Saee doesn’t like too much crunchy so I toast it slightly.

Cut diagonally and your sandwich is ready. It is not for kids only, we adults can eat this too. If you love cheese and not worrying about calories.😅

Try this for your little one and share your shortcut sandwich recipe in the comment section. I will love to prepare it.

Lock down- HOLIDAY

Bio- weapon,

Janata curfew,

Clapping at 5.00 pm.

Finally, lockdown for 21 days,

Hussshhhh, we are going through this for months but still not getting out from it. You know the reason why?  It is simply because some of the idiots are not following the simple orders and hence we are on the urge to finding a new case on daily😒

Yes, I know it is very difficult to be inside the home,

Yes, it is very difficult to keep your little ones busy all the time,

Yes, it is very difficult to prepare a new dish as per the demand of the family members,

Yes, it is very difficult to just eat, net-surfing and sleep,

Yes, it is very difficult to do cleaning and cooking continuously,

Yes, it is!!

Mother Nature challenged us, and why not we are the monster who thinks that we are powerful. But this is not the truth, She is the one who can still make us or destroy us. Finally, we are been locked and confronted. If you accept the situation and try to enjoy it, then it will be more relaxing.

No, I am not going to tell you anything about this Covid-19. We are very well equipped with the information that is flooded via What’s App, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, about do’s and don’ts. Yes or not? And what are we doing, without realizing whether it is true or false just forwarding to one another and no one is following anything 😖 Some of them are true and some are false? But what I feel is that we are disturbing ourselves only.

Instead, visit the official websites that are WHO and mygov.in.

Just think that you got the holiday due to Covid-19 and enjoy every bit of the second of this time with your family. Think, which is the last time when you relax and sit with calm? Which one is the last time where you and only your family chilled out? Think which one is the last time where all of your family members are chitchatting with each other?

There are lots of information, educational videos, workout videos, books, which are free and in abundance. We always have complaints that we are not having time to do a little bit for ourselves. So what are you thinking now? Here it is!!  Time and time and time and time. 😊

Do try to utilize this time with freely available information on the internet instead of forwarding just CORONA related messages. And stop spreading stress.

No, I am not going to give you any ideas on how to spend time because we are getting already via what’s App. But one of the most favors of this situation is you are getting free most of everything. There are lots of free PDF versions of children’s and elder's books. Start reading if you are not yet 😕and you can instill the reading habit to your little one.😊 There are lots of indoor games we can play with our family members and can learn new things. Currently, I am learning Mandala art, and what about you? Comment down please, what you are learning right now?

Instead of this pandemic just concentrate what MOTHER NATURE is trying to teach us. She is saying “SLOW DOWN”,

You are not the one who can conquer the whole world. Still, she is the one who can decide how to treat us. Don't forget and slow down your life. Look, how our life is filtering. Understand the real value of each second and love for the family. Every time we as an educated monster are not always right! Mother Nature is the one who can save us or can destroy us if we do not follow her rule.

I don’t want to go in a debate whether it is really a bioweapon or manmade viruses or third world war which is been with person to person at everyone's doorstep.  But trust me, whatever it is, “IT IS”, and we don’t have any other option rather than accept the situation where we can only take precaution otherwise our India will be another Italy. 😑

We all know, what this is!

LUST to conquer the whole world!

And we the normal citizen pissed off without any reason. But who cares? They just want their own power. It may be wrong or right I don't know. And I don't want to get into this subject as it will be given out more debate.

Moreover, I am suggesting, just enjoy this holiday with your family. I know this holiday word sounds more dramatic but if you take it from the heart it will reduce more problems in EVERYONE’s life. It is a chance to have communication with your loved one. It is a time where no one is talking about caste and religion. It is a time where there is not a single case of rape and assault. It is a time where we can have peace by being locked down ourselves inside our home. Everyone loves their own life and want to live it. So don't waste this time and try to make it more fun and loving without stepping out to the world. This is the way to make your valuable contribution to our NATION.

Don’t forget to READ.

What? Books which are available free of cost.

Don’t forget to listen, what?

Music and songs,

Don’t forget to dance with your little one,

Don't forget to have a workout with your spouse. 

Don’t forget to minimize the usage of the Internet so that we are able to restore the internet speed.

Last and very important,

Don't forget to laugh.😄

I hope this pandemic brings you close to your loved one and fill your life with lots of love and happiness. If we think we are happy, we will be happy. There is so much negativity all over the world due to this pandemic. So, be positive and if we all think positively that everything will be fine, then sure it will. Instead of spreading negativity spread happiness by being inside the home with your family. If your family is happy, then the whole world will be happy!!

On this positive note I am signing off,

STAY SAFE, STAY POSITIVE AND STAY INSIDE THE HOME !!

 

HOLI 2020 (Celebration at Western Dance Studio)

Memories are built by the special moment which we spent together with a loved one. We don't remember the days but yes we always remember the person, the feelings with we enjoy every precious moment.  These small memories always bring smiles on our faces.😊

We are blessed to have such friendship among us and despite we are in different age groups but have one thing is common in us AND that one is CRAZINESS.😍😎

It is always best to have crazy friends to do all utpatang😉 things ! And I am blessed to have them. No matter how busy we are but when we called each other for such silly enjoyment we all gather together on a toe, right girls?

We don't need any reason for celebration. Whenever we get a chance we all are ready to mingle together.  Indeed, there is the weekend of two festivals one is “ Women’s Day" and the other one is "Holi” so how can we miss this chance.

We are charged ourselves to have the fun on our trail with our small kiddos.  Love to be small again with our kids and enjoyed some silly games too. 

Holi is one of the best festival among all festivals which is celebrated throughout India united, without having any difference in caste, religion, and gender. From the small kids to the old adults, each one enjoys this festive with full of joy and colours. All of you already aware of how we are celebrating before - Holi in class, school, college, office, workplace, etc. 

I hope this CORONA VIRUS allows our Indian to have this festival celebration.

We have the small one in our silly way.  

We don't know whether our societies will have “HOLI CELEBRATION” or not but we don't want to waste this time and got ready with some color and lots of chocolates. Let me share some Holi celebration glimpse from our dance crew. The sad thing is our king was absent, but we enjoyed every bit of it.

Wishing all of you a very HAPPY and COLOURFUL HOLI.

Wishing all gorgeous women's there  " A HAPPY WOMEN's DAY"  in advance. 

Stay Happy and cheerful always!
