 Eashwara.. Shiva.... Rudra.. A lord who has so many names represent so many natures. Lord Shiva is the center of the universe, who can create, protects, and transforms the Universe. Every individual has this power within you.   Don't you believe that?? Well... one must!! Every human being can create his own path just by making up his mind and being sure about his goals. He can protect his desire also his well-wishers by thinking before acting or saying anything. He can transform his life just by thinking good and spreading smiles around him.  We see these very qualities in kids.  If you observe closely if a child makes up her/his mind that he needs his mother's attention either they will surely get it either by being cranky or over joyful or any way.  If you observe among siblings, they might fight as badly as possible but if any outsider tries to come in between they show "Unity is Strength".  You give some colors and paper and ask a kid to draw a to...

 Before every work, it's evident that we pray to vighnavinashaka Ganapathi. 🙏 It's belief that he will remove all obstacles in the way of our work make it very easily achieved and also provide us with wisdom and courage to face any difficulty.  Belief is what fills us with good or bad thoughts which results in the good or bad outcomes of our work. For example, when we were kids we used to get scared of exams. And, with that scared state of mind when we used to give exams we always ended up making extremely silly mistakes. Now also when we have any big presentation or facing any gathering if we are scared or went with some doubts it never gives that result. However when we see our kids who are just 3-6 yr olds who hardly know anything about fear and hardly have any thoughts about what will happen if the work I am doing goes wrong. But they actually excel in the work that they do, be it speaking in gathering, singing or acting, or doing any kind of circus-filled games. This cle...

 TRUE!!! When you look at Madhubani art mainly 3 things come to mind Wah!! Such fantastic art Wow!! So many patterns and designs. Oh My God!! It definitely requires loads of patience and hard work.  Well, when one looks back at his/her life OR listens to one's path of life they can also think about mainly 3 following things. Wah!! what a life he has lived so many colorful events, emotions, ups, and downs Wow!! No single incident is the same as other there are so many different experiences Oh My God!! It was definitely not easy to follow that path. No one on this earth has it easy.   Don't we agree on this? we all have so many different happy, sad, experiences along the way of life till the day and still experiencing too and going to experience in the coming days as well.  Childhood itself has so many things to describe with fun, hard work, struggle, competition, adventure, no it all eagerness, do it all enthusiasm, ........ list just grows. I tried my first Madh...

 IS THAT SO?? I guess if that person is brave enough or extremely innocent (sometime in this mature world known as Foolish!!!!) then he can do anything. People like us who most of the time second guess on consequences or busy self-doubting will just continue to do so. I was actually trying to complete the challenge thrown by my son for drawing (added the same picture here which we can relate to what I am trying to convey). It was a picture of a man daring a tiger. Just imagine in the real world we get scared just by seeing small insects like cockroaches or honey bee etc and can you imagine yourself to go and stand in front of a might tiger? HUH! I can not imagine such even in my dreams. So I thought maybe that man is very courageous that he has complete confidence in his wit or physical energy to make anything possible. Then I saw my 3-year-old niece and my son doing all possible kinds of the circus which we do not dare even to describe. which got me thinking, what it might be diff...

 DO YOU DISAGREE??? Well for me it is definitely true. The small - small habits which we inhabited in us it hardly leaves us. Be it like gobbling the whole Gulab-Jamun in one shot, Or simply go and trouble ur extremely loved one (during my childhood it was bro, now its my son :P),  Or just sneek a peek into story book once in a while .. List just grows. We have to hold tight to this childish nature of ours to find small happiness once in a while in your busy, responsible, mechanical life. Well, if chance given I will choose to be that careless girl again who hadnot worried about anything as her mom, dad and big bro were there to hold her and take all responsibilities for her :).   I cannot turn the life upside down and go back to be a kid but I can surely hold on to the habits that got built in me from childhood. I can definitely be kid again and have fun with my son. I can ask forgiveness as soon if my leg touches to anyone. I can smile once in a while whole hearted...

 Well, it is true.  We love to relive those moments. If we have forgotten about those and our friends, siblings, parents, uncle aunt anyone if reiterate the way we were or some special act of us, then it just brightens our mood and face too. Not just good moments even our embarrassing moments or hurt moments have that impact on us. I never realized or considered that realization much until my son forces me to tell about his childhood memories in form of stories. He just loves it to know he was so naughty, loving, lazy, cry baby, ... the list just goes on. Well, his demand not ends just at his stories. He wants to hear about my childhood, his dad's childhood, his uncle's childhood, and all.  And in process of telling him stories we end up reliving our childhood and that really brings a bright smile to our face and in fact, it makes our day.  Reconnect to your roots, your childhood friends, your childhood habits.. It just makes you realize we still have that child in u...

   Hi, This is my first attempt to write a blog. I have never been good with words. So let me try to write few lines though.. After a long time, I felt like drawing. Well, it's not like I was a professional artist or something. I was just able to draw pictured in my Bio- lab book neatly, in drawing class I used to draw neatly but as soon I color the same it used to look way worse than expected.  Now as the stage is set, let me proceed. Seeing my son also facing the same issue, triggered all childhood memories of me with a pencil and drawing book. Well, my son's drawings are way way better than what I could draw when I was a kid. He is just want to finish it soon so attention to detail is missing.  As I was saying seeing him draw I thought let me also give a try at a pencil sketch. I just googled for few pencil drawings to draw. It just kept me glued once I started drawing one after another.  Then I thought let me take a little complicated one and picked one from...
