<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all have a busy day that keeps us occupied. But, do we take care of ourselves at the end of the day ? Do we take the necessary steps for a healthy living ? Do we ensure we do the needful amidst this competitive and challenging life, where there is no chance to fall sick. Our life style, our pace has been the reason most of us have suffer from many heart related ailments, from Blood pressure, to cholesterol, we have all become a victim of this now. When I was diagnosed with Blood pressure a decade earlier, that's when I decided to change my life style, I decided to keep myself more active, eating better and healthier, above all staying happy with life with small steps I take with every work I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My routine day starts with small steps, where thoughts of "what to cook" revolves around me as I walk into the kitchen to make my breakfast, snacks and lunch for the whole day that will keep me and my family active. I see that I use saffola life for cooking my chapattis for breakfast and a dish along with it, to be healthy and have a great start to the day. Being a teacher by profession, I ensure that I have adequate breakfast to keep me active and happy at work, that helps me to motivate my students at school, where many students see me as their role model.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I pack the same healthy snacks and lunch for my husband and son before I walk my way to the bus stop to get the 7:54 am bus on time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once at School, I keep my self active by staying on my heels the whole day, running about in the classroom, teaching, carrying myself, moving towards the children- from watching them and taking lessons, so on.. With the same process going on and it sees me move from class to class, from one floor to the other, from one block to the other of the campus to take my classes. Only by being active, I ensure that I make it to the classes on time. I mostly see to that I use the staircase up and down while moving to the classes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While, I'm on a break amidst classes, I eat my healthy snacks, which boosts me to spend time with the next batch of children, who are not just the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While some batch of children need class room activities, projects, some batches need to see me in a position where I am one among them to motivate them and help them understand their lessons better with a good moral. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then comes my lunch time, and having a healthy lunch is equally important to keep the afternoon session and the day going till the end of special classes for students appearing in the board exams.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are moments when kids tend to get on my nerves, yet I ensure that I keep myself cool and calm. Sometimes the pressure is more from the management when the results are reviewed, yet I ensure that I stay calm under the situations and look to focus on my students. The smile I see on the face of the students after my class is what automatically enlightens my soul within and makes me stay happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the evening session is over, I carry my self in the bus, standing all the way amidst the crowd imagining the thoughts of the same question "What do I cook next - for dinner" till I reach home. Sometime I have to cook what my husband wants, while sometimes what my son wants, but I choose to use the oil of my choice 'Saffola total" that takes care of my family as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I personally feel, taking the small step of using the right cooking oil such as Saffola life, for the last few years has seen me stay a lot healthier on daily basis and reduce the risk of heart fatalities. I have seen my blood pressure under control and Its helped me stay active, eat better and be happy throughout the day despite having to face challenges at work and at home.</div>

I personally call this the dress of the season (Not for summer though :P ) for no where can you find any thing as such where the earrings go along with the dress. In the next few days, I'll be updating some more designs, so stay tuned to "My reflections" for more such posts...</div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of
life lies in memories we remember over the memories we tend to forget. Some
moments are really special and will remain cherished forever like those
memories of my pregnancy and childbirth.
At the 6<sup>th</sup> month I had a breach baby, which failed to turn
and I was told that only cesarean could be done, and it went on successfully
and I delivered a baby boy. Those moments of delivery and those feelings of
carrying a baby for 9 months was indeed special. Hope that feeling of
mootherhood is special with every mother and remains special throughout their life.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Being a mother, a home maker and a teacher; every night I had a habit to tell
bedtime stories to my son. Let them be the stories of the lesson taught to
students at school or stories read from magazines, papers or books, and
sometimes of course I tell stories based on moral values to my son and
sometimes I tell him those family stories based on the mood of my child. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> There was this habit of
my son right from his childhood days,
that, when I tell him those stories he would
run his hand on my tummy, which made him sleep while he was young; and I slowly
turn him on bed and when he used to wake up he always wanted me and my tummy.
As days passed and as he grew up to become an adult, I slowly changed the
habit of his as I had to make him sleep alone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
One day when I was discussing this with my sister who remembered those
days of my son playing with my tummy, dating back from my early parenting days,
she suddenly jumped up asking "do you still have those stretch marks on
your tummy which your son used to feel and play with??”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I replied “yes”
and she recommended me to use Bio oil.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I said "I
didn't want to forget those memories of childhood and let them remain as every
mother gets them after childbirth", but she said "Its not necessary
the scars should remain to remember a child birth" and when she visited me
a month later she got me a bottle of Bio oil. She asked me to apply Bio oil and
all the stretch marks would vanish and her words seemed to be true as these
stretch marks vanished like magic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The formulation of Bio
oil has a safe combination of selected plant extracts which is made to be
absorbed to the max at the site of application and help relieve from stretch
marks<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
"Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember" and so
has those memories of motherhood with Bio made me remember my past to live my
present<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Is laundry still a woman's job.? The society has developed from stone-age to modern age and men have understood relationships to a better extent, but when it comes to laundry - in most of the cases it is still left for women to complete, leaving behind an inequality among the duties of the couple. But, here is a fictitious story weaved around the life of a modern couple who look to learn from their neighbors.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There was once a young couple, which moved into a new neighborhood and had introduced themselves to the neighborhood. The next morning, while they were having their breakfast while watching TV, the young woman saw her neighbor boy hang the wash outside.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
The wife said to her husband "That laundry is not very clean, maybe he doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps he need better laundry soap"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her husband looked on, but decided to remain mum at this situation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, everytime, the neighbor boy would hand his wash to dry, the young woman would make a comment as he had not learnt to wash them and he needed to change the method of the wash and so on....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
About a couple of weeks later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line, and said to her husband in a state of astonishment "Look! he has learnt how to wash correctly, I wonder who taught him this".</div>
<div>

The husband replied "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows! and so it is with life."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the windows through which we look. We develop a false perception that men are not perfect while it comes to these household work. Before we give any comment it is better to check out state of mind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This shows that men too can work perfectly and neatly when time demands, so not necessarily laundry is always a womans job, men too can do them and can do them perfectly if taught well.<br />

<br />
Laundry the word itself defines to dry the clothes washed, and for ages it has been a woman's job. According to the statistics presented where woman knows and feel the burden. I personally feel it is the problem of the woman who feels that men cannot wash and dry them out correctly and the clothes may fly away and lost.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiOBbNz5jp6-sOZTuPYkygOEAhWRbj1dNZuBvfFDpaW-osrJWKVAU5Bj7X_jaxz05clR-5vf17-hG7lu5nf-FkknhNI9IyIwLfjoT4KvJzCsycf5ttrUvAGZ4XY02xUHOnVVG-53RVNaU/s1600/ariel+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiOBbNz5jp6-sOZTuPYkygOEAhWRbj1dNZuBvfFDpaW-osrJWKVAU5Bj7X_jaxz05clR-5vf17-hG7lu5nf-FkknhNI9IyIwLfjoT4KvJzCsycf5ttrUvAGZ4XY02xUHOnVVG-53RVNaU/s1600/ariel+1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The women actually, should give a try and ask the men to do, when they do the laundry- they actually do it better than women as they take time and spread out evenly and dry them correctly as well as fold them neatly.<br />
<br />
Women who face this difficulty, it becomes their duty to train their son's to take up that job as it will be useful to them when they stay away from family during higher studies and when they abroad as they have to do it weather they like it or not. They need not feel the pain then.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> Truly, speaking these days men love their wives and show this by giving them a helping hand. We can even see this among the older couples where the wife demands and commands her husband to help her with the laundry.<br />
<br />
Recently, I showed my husband and my son how my neighbor's husband and their son do this job wonderfully. Now my the male members too have taken up the decision to help me and feel they can relieve me from a duty and make me happy. This brings happiness and comfort for a working woman like me.<br />
<br />
Very beautifully men can be changed and trained but, they should even feel proud in doing this, as we have the feeling of oneness in a family. In future we can see more men taking up responsibilities to do laundry because these days mothers train their sons to cook and to do their laundry, which would help themselves than be depend on anybody else.<br />

"To define me are the words and images that are conducive to expansion an leads to success."<br />
<br />
First of all I would like to define myself of all the different images a woman carries with her. Firstly born as a daughter, sister, wife, mother and additionally a professional by being a teacher.<br />

People in my town know me as a teacher who could teach children in a class in three different languages just to see a smile on the face of each and every student. The school in which I was working first, I had to teach the students basically in English language as it was the medium of instruction. But, noticing that no students understood what was taught as they were children of low economic status, and another set of students of the same class, which saw children of families migrated from the norther states of our country who could understand only Hindi. When I as a teacher, explained the less in Tamizh (Tamil) to the first set of children and in Hindi to the other set of children and then the whole class was made to be read in English, by both set of students. By this I satisfied both categories.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The parents were so glad to hear a teacher take such pains that they used to meet me and thank me in person that I could educate their children in such manner, which was not done in any school as it is not allowed to teach in vernacular languages.<br />
<br />
At the same time, during the summer vacation, I conducted vocational classes as teaching mehandi and tatting, and taught students of higher classes as to how one can do many things in life. Not only being a house wife, a teacher and a homemaker by making different things for a home. Whereby the students can take up to do anything in future, either earn or learn or both earn and learn.<br />

<br />
They say a good impression is a long lasting impression. A man looks smart and dashing only when he is well groomed. On this instance I would like to share an instance down from my diary which relates to my experience with my handsome husband who missed a chance of being selected for a movie.<br />
<br />
The incident dates back to 1996, when we were once invited to a dinner party at my husband's colleague's place as he was celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary. My usually dashing and ever smart was un -occasionally dull as he was held up with office work throughout the week and till the day of the party. He somehow missed shaving his beard as he made it to the get together which was held at a grand resort just outskirts of the city.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The party saw some celebs from the television industry and couple of cine stars as well who lit up the party. My husband's colleague did introduce my husband to the guests and they were quite happy to know each other. My husband did feel low and was not at his best after missing out to shave and carried his stubble for get together. I did notice people talking about my husband and also over heard people talk about him for a role in a television drama, but none approached him for it...<br />
<br />
The dinner was over and we stayed back till the end to help the special couple on their way back, when my husband's colleague said "couldn't you have shaved off your beard and come today, you missed a chance to impress these celebs who were on a look out for a character for their upcoming television drama and had almost selected you except for that stubble of yours".<br />
<br />
My husband was ever interested to become an actor, but at the end of the day was a little upset as his stubble came in way of making a good impression. They say opportunities knock the door only once and same did happen here as my husband still regrets missing it...<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The black kurti with a pink and white tatted lace is a continues piece running from neck to the front-line fully and the sleeves together form a 'V' shape pattern of the neck which gives an elegant look to the kurti top. Light pink leggins would suite well along with this anarkali type kurti. It takes many days to make this pattern as it is a running lace made together by attaching sets of flower shaped motifs together to form the lace pattern.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/MatrikasPaperProducts" target="_blank"> Matrikas</a>, "Scribble your heart away......." an excellent slogan and the collection of it is a complete solution for office, academy and private use. I happened to be a part of this Scribble your heart away campaign and have received a copy of a notepad, journal and a 6 subject notebook. The review for each of the products are as below.<br />

Being a teacher I would search for different pictures based on different subjects which is relevant to almost science, maths, social and languages. It is an effective handy tool for me to pen down my thoughts. The colorful attractive and superior quality pages, makes my work more interesting and to write more and more in my notepad.<br />

The six subject notebook that you have gifted me is another wonderful notebook which I would feel proud to carry it along with me. The outer hardboard which is so attractive with a golden and colorful of Ludo, which shows "Life is a game- play it". It makes me happy to use this book. The golden color gives its own richness to the book carried, and to use it I would feel immense pleasure to write about my subjects in it, with different color pages separating different subjects, which would make my job easy while referring.<br />
<br />
In my near future I would always opt for Matrikas collection of books to be seen on their book shelf. I chose this brand not only for their attractive look, but for the innovative ideas that they add to their books and the quality they possess. I would also like to gift my talented students, the treasure of Matrikas products to encourage them to write more and to develop their writing skills.<br />
<br />
I would finally like to thank Matrikas for this excellent opportunity given to me to review their wonderful products.<br />

In this blogpost I would like to share this experience down from my memory line, a part of my life journey of transformation where I had to chose from either being a college student or a housewife to being a college student and a housewife by fulfilling both challenges in life.<br />
<br />
The first year when I completed my degree of B.A English and stepped into my second year I was married. When entered into in-laws house, where regular college was not allowed to continue, I had o give up studying to be a good housewife. While life was going on with day to day hectic work where I had to serve all the members in the family. Also, after struggling the whole day doing the house old chores like a traditional daughter in law, cooking for the family there was no time left to peruse my regular college . In free time making pickles and papaads and in the evening snacks for the guests and so on kept me occupied.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
My husband saw that the whole day I was too busy and he also knew I was good at studies, and since we had no issues for 5 long years he asked me if I would like to study. He admitted in a University where I could do my graduation through distance education. Being too good he used to drop me and pick me up after my contact classes and my examinations, though we had to undergo many difficulties in the family. I had to stay awake late at night to prepare my notes and for my exams. I came out with flying colors.<br />
<br />
I satisfied my self , my husband and all the members at the in-laws who though were grudging and grumbling at me were proud seeing me graduate. They even challenged me if I could prove to speak fluent English, and I stood up to it by proving in such a way that today people are proud of me, that I speak with not only speed, but with good fluency. This is my true story of taking a decision between either being a college student or a housewife to being a college student and a house wife by balancing equally and continuing to go ahead with higher qualifications.<br />

<br />
Tatting is a french art of making motifs and laces with thread... We can also decorate dresses with these laces to make them look attractive....<br />
<br />
Last time, I had made Tatting ear-rings<br />
This time, here is a neck pattern, sleeves and slits set that I completed for my kurta. Doing this requires a lot of patience and concentration . It took around a month and a half to complete this wonderful kurta....<br />
