This women’s day let’s salute these silent magicians!

The bed that you left unmade gets back in position; the bathroom which was all wet and messy gets spic and span, the lunches and the dinners are always take care of, the daily vegetables, the rice, and pulses or the detergent to wash your clothes is magically on time! Yes, this is magical and this is done by a silent magician who works day in and day out around you, for a smooth and organized every day! These magicians are none other than the beautiful women who make and maintain your houses, the wonderful housewives!
In an era in which we are living today, everybody is submerged in competition, in work and in succeeding, everyone is constantly running and everyone wants to rise beyond boundaries, but these amazing women are a selfless pillar of strength for the ones who are running around; their husbands, their children, their daughter-in-law, or the other working women members of the house.  Their ambitions and their strength is the success of their loved ones. And it’s their ambition to keep everything in order and everything on time in the house that the others reach some level of success at their workplaces outside.


It’s because of their efforts that the child who was born just yesterday is growing up so well, be it talking, walking, knowing your culture or staying fit it’s all because of the woman at home who devotes all her time and patience, compromises her sleeps at the nights and raises the children to what they become.
Do these women want to reach or work in the outside world too? At times yes, they do. But they happily sacrifice this big and small wish of theirs because they understand the need of balance; they understand the need to be the strong support against which the others can rest.
But do we realize the need to acknowledge them frequently? Not everyone does. I think it’s time that we should understand that ambitions can be both inside and outside of the house, if yours lie in the outside world then theirs lie in the world which is inside your house and is created by them. If your achievements and milestones need to be acknowledged then yes even their achievements and milestones need to be celebrated.
She is the silent manager, accountant, cook, event organizer and at times of need even the nurse of the house. Even with so many jobs that she does at the same time she still manages to look as beautiful as ever. Someday just ask her how she does it all and to your surprise, she may just blush and give you all the credit.

She may be a 27-year-old and a newlywed who stays there for you and your parents, or she may be a 70-year-old who stays where you work just to take care of your family and your children. Yes, these silent magicians exist around us every day and this women’s day let’s just get on our knees and tell them that, they are truly successful and truly magical!

Annoyed by children on board? This read is for you

A recent Instagram post by a well-known celebrity writer read “They should give away free birth control pills on all airlines as a public service.” I juggled for a long time to understand what it meant, but couldn’t until I saw the only hashtag the writer had used as a caption beneath, #annoyingchildrenonboard. This post came after almost a week of relaxing and luxurious holiday that he had in Thailand. As most of the posts by this writer are relatable, at times funny and witty, it took me a while to comprehend what he had written. How could he post such a thing ? I thought, and scrolled through the comments section. In the comments I saw outpouring negativity for little children and their parents inside airplanes. “It’s so irritating!” one comment read, “I wanted to sleep peacefully on my three-hour flight, but the child behind just couldn’t shut up. Why do people produce when they can’t teach their children basic etiquette!!!” “So relatable,” read another, “an annoying baby was cryin...

Veggies/Non-veggies! We choose or we follow!

Bored with my daily routine, and it being a Sunday I planned to go out to shop a little last week! On my way I stopped the auto fella to have a look at the plant nursery to see if I can get something to put in my terrace area. I was over whelmed by the way people were engrossed looking after plants there, someone was spraying water over the leaves while someone was mixing the manure with some insecticides, looking around I was about to step on a tiny sapling when one vendor interrupted me and said “Madam watch out, it will die” “Oops Sorry” I said and stepped aside. I was tempted to take some saplings for my home I sat there for some half an hour where I asked them about the different saplings they had and took three of them. After which I took some instructions on how I should nurture them, how many times to water, how much sunlight is needed etc so that they can grow the best. Within that very short span itself I felt the plants are alive! They need to be taken care of, they need t...

Health beyond COVID-19!

None of us had imagined that we would ever see a crisis in health as huge as the one that we are witnessing currently.   One disease and the entire world has come to a standstill. But then, what is life if we can predict it? Coronavirus, which has shaken everyone with its massive spread, has slowly moved towards community spread in India. Reasons for its relatively slower rise in numbers here can be various. The timely and stringent actions taken by the government, our immunity to survive it due to poor overall hygiene of the country; or the relatively larger number of infections that we already face. However, fear of rising numbers remains, because we are a densely populated land. The losses that COVID has caused are many and grave but then, there is one good thing that it has brought to us as a country. It is our efforts to improve our existing healthcare system. It will be premature to say if these efforts are temporary or permanent but it’s very positive to see how w...
