Balcony Pleasures!!

Dining Table goes for an outing !!

My ideas of happiness do not sync with most people...sometimes very simple things in life make me very happy...at other times even the best of this world does not do the trick....
So here it goes...I get bored with the furniture and decor of the house very easily...not that I am a decor or cleanliness freak...but the monotony of the same setting freaks me out...!!

For husband, cleaning over the weekend would mean real cleaning as any level headed person may think of....doing the bedsheets, vaccuum , bathrooms etc etc. For me it would just mean moving around the furniture....

So this is how the story turns out...this weekend the bechara dining table was the bakra..
I moved it out in the balcony to create extra space in the house and utilize the nice weather outside...
Hubby dear who usually co operates was totally unsupportive of this idea for a very valid reason (this could completly spoil the dining table wood)...His idea(agreed valid) was  to buy outdoor dining table if I want one..but I am the impatient self...dimaag mein idea aa gaya to wait nahin ho sakta hai...

So finally this is what it meant...and you know what...it was awsome to have morning breakfast with the excellent views and fresh morning breeze....
That was Plain vanilla cake , Garlic bread and Papaya shake for breakfast . Simple and easy but tasted awsome because of the ambience....and did I tell you the background music of birds chirping around :)

That is kiddo doing some colouring outdoors..
and the evening with scented candle..and the latest novel..to me it is total bliss (as of Now)

To those of you have a levelhead like hubby dear and are worried about spoiling the dining table in Sun or Rain.....let me tell you again...I bet this cannot keep me entertained for more than a week...2 weeks max..:-) :-)

What makes you Happy??

Dorae-mania

Daily Routine -
Daughter(As soon as she gets up in the morning):
               Mumma Doraemon..lagao na plz..
Mom:      No Beta subah subah nahin....go and brush your teeth , you will get late for school.
Daughter: Doraemon Doraemon Doraemon.
Mom finally gives in ...and the blue cat comes back again on the television with his dumb freind Nobita..

Don't our kids deserve much more than the repeated telecasts of these transalated Japanese/Chinese series.And to add to that I am never able to understand how could we keep on showing a film to our kids day in and day out...whose hero is a lazy failure who has this robot cat which has short cut for everything in life....

I feel it is a slow poison overpowering our kids psychology...there is no idol ..no role model...that shows them how hard work pays off....all they know is that doraemon gadget....Is there nobody in this country to sensor the content of kids channel....or are they all also sleeping like Nobita?

I remember growing up we were never allowed television on early mornings except on few Sundays...but did we not enjoy more then...??
I would so look forward to the monthly kids magazines that the newspaper wala will throw in on the 1st of each month...Champak, Chandamama, Suman Saurabh..then we even had comic books for Ramayan/Mahabharat/Panchatantra/Chacha Chowdhary/ Billu/ Pinky as well ...
But none of them meant sitting endlessly infront of the idiot box.

Probably it is a easy way out for us as well....khud facebook check karna hai to bacche ko doraemon dikha do...
Thoda effort to apne side se bhi lagana hai yaar....atleast I need to do that ....well before I am also Doraemonised...

The beginning

Here I am finally ...!!!!

This is just a platform to put down my thoughts...about the ordinary things that come across our day to day life...

But is it not these ordinary things that make life so special? 

I would be using this place to flush out my feelings...

कुछ शिकायतें ...कुछ किस्से ...कुछ नुस्खे ...कुछ सवाल ...!!!
