Happy Women's Day!!!

Hi All,

I'm writing a post almost after 2.5 years and thought today would be the best day to make a comeback with a BANG! As it's a women's day this post is about being a Strong women: Be one and Raise one!

When I was a kid my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer! She accepted the fact and came in terms with it but her only concern was who will take care of me after she’s gone. She got treated but doctors have given her life span of 3 years more. She was so determined to live, she didn’t want to leave me until I’m settled in my life. To everyone’s surprise she lived for 17 more years. That is just because of her strong will to take care of me and see me happy with a nice guy. She’s the one who raised me since I’m 6 months old and loved me unconditionally throughout her life. Yes, her love was purest at its form. That’s the reason I designated the highest position in my life to her and always called her AMMA. I can easily say that she was the strongest woman I’ve ever seen in my life by seeing the way she fought with the deadliest disease.

When I opted to go abroad for higher studies, she said just one thing enjoy your freedom but lead a regret free life. Trust me, being in a free land with no one to question you around and still being in your bounds is a tough thing at times. I’ve seen toughest days of my life being away from my loved ones, but I was always determined to face the situation as I did not have a choice, I had to be strong.  My friends who know me for long used to admire on my composure. Some of them who’ve known my AMMA personally would say I imbibe lot of qualities from her, but I think I still have a long way to go to be someone like her.

Whether it’s a son or a daughter raising a strong kid would be every mother’s motto. Of course, I would like to give my son unconditional love, but more than that considering the present state of society I feel it is very much needed to teach him to value the independence of woman, not to be judgmental about her, to treat her with respect and be chivalrous to her and share the load of house hold work too. As I see many kids define the role of mother from very young age i.e. she is fit to cook food, feed and change diapers that’s all.  Inculcating good values from the very young by each and every mother who has son would build a better society for our beloved daughters.  I’ve realized raising kid is not easy only after I became mother. I wish I would be able to raise my son just the way my AMMA raised me. 

Cheers,
Vrinda

My Garden

Hi Frenz,      Gardening has always been one of my hobbies, though I never mentioned it to my frenz. I always like flowers on the plant than plucked and made in to garland. I usually like spending some time in garden while I'm really stressed out, it's a great relaxation therapy. Presently I stay in an apartment which has a small  balcony. Luckily there is enough space to place few pots and I planted plants in them. I feel so happy when flowers bloom in my garden. I take snaps and share it with my frenz and family members. Today I thought of sharing them with all my Blog frenz. Rose : This is the first plant I bought for my garden. This is the only flower it bloomed to that plant. It died after  1 month, as I was away from home for long time. My husband couldn't take care of it well (I don't blame him for that though) Button Rose : This is one of my favorite plants. It was presented to me by my mom. She actually bought this for her garden, but again felt it'

When ever I hear this word one thing comes in to my mind immediately is, the New York City. Apart from being my favorite place, this place has also added some beautiful memories in to my diary. I can never forget the Friday evenings I spent in that city. Sometimes with my friends (most of the time by myself) we used to walk down the street just like that. Have fun talking on the roads, looking at the people from different nations, eating food what not?  One Penn Plaza  I used to work at  Manhattan  (heart of the city) in One Penn plaza. It is 54 storied building,  shares the same street with Empire state building.  It was fun working in a desi company, but surrounded mostly by Mexicans. They are very friendly people though, very sweet and believe me most of the girls are damn gorgeous.  Macys was adjacent to my work place, I used to get in that tall 9 storied building and spend some hours walking around the displays. I have bought many gifts for my parents and my husband (then m
