  • Every once in a while, I look back at those magical years and it gets me all misty-eyed! . . This is Mr A at age four. Kovalam beach. The kid loved playing outdoors and while on holiday, would wake us up at the wee hours, pleading to take him down to the beach with his bucket full of toys! The sun was very strong and I was a bit hesitant, but seeing him make that “sad puppy look”, just had to give in. . . While I did carry a book to read that morning, I recall putting it away and getting down on all fours to play with him. We spent the best part of the morning playing on the sand and that look of pure unadulterated joy was too priceless to let go! . . The afternoon was spent in the pool with father and son playing in the water while I tucked into my book. Our joy didn’t last very long because by evening, the kid came down with high fever and wheezing. . . For the next three days, we stayed indoors mostly, ensuring medicines, inhalers and nebulisers were taken on time, to facilitate a speedy recovery. We played board games and read stories together, pausing to rest every once in a while. . . On our last evening, the hubby and I stepped out for a walk after dusk, and since the kid felt somewhat better, he decided to enjoy a little play time at the recreation centre, much to our relief, while we had a few minutes to ourselves before heading back to the hotel. . . Little kids are hard work, but it’s all worth it. Right now, I can vouch for one thing though- they are certainly easier to handle than a teen! 😅 . . #10yearsago #memories #familyvacay #beachday #momlifeishard #happydays #momandson #familytravel #keralatrip #preschooler #joysofparenting #parentinglife #throwbackpost #familytrip #lookingbackintime #favouriteplace #kovalambeach #keralatrip #travellingwithkids #mom
  • I love skywatching. It gives me peace, and fills me with wonder.

  • “Be there for others but never leave yourself behind.” Dodinsky . . . We’ve all been raised to put others’ needs first and then look after ourselves, lest people perceive us to be selfish. So, we go on auto-pilot filling everyone else’s cup till we have nothing left for ourselves. . . Ever wondered why, in an aeroplane, they tell you to put on your seat belt first, before helping the others? . . If you’re wondering, there is a reason. Because self-care is essential to our well-being. Self-care comes from within and it nourishes and nurtures us even when we are leading busy lives, trying to balance the needs of the family along with the demands of the workplace. . **New post alert on the blog www.mysoultalks.com** . . #nurtureyourself #selfcareroutine #nourishyourself #fillyourcup #selfcarehacks #lifehacksformoms #busymomlife #selfcaregoals #pledgetofillyourcupfirst #youcandoit #everybodyneedsit #saywhynotme #healingthroughwisdom #findyourhappy #selfreminder #gettingthere #gettingitdone

  • There was a time when I hardly wrote for months and here, we have a week, when I’ve been writing for 5 consecutive days and no, I’m not thinking of taking a break. On the contrary, I’m loving it.

  • “The promise of spring’s arrival is enough to get anyone through the bitter winter.” -Jen Selinsky . . A year that started with bumps and scares, 2019 is bringing me new challenges everyday, and I’m taking it in my stride and moving on, past the hurdles, past the fears and looking right ahead. Because, when you wish to move forward, you need to have your focus right in front of you, where your path lies. . . This morning, on the way back from my morning walk, I noticed these pretty pink Cassia blooms. I saw blue skies, felt the sunshine and a surge of hope arose within me. . . #wordlesswednesday #photographersofindia #thoughtsnlife #thoughtfulmode #chinupchallenge #springblooms #springinbangalore #cassiablossoms #pinkblooms #joyful #flowerstagram #upmystreet #faithandhope #beoptimistic #lightandhope #keepingthefaith #hanginginthere #heartandsoul #feelinghopefulagain #treesofbangalore #flowersofbangalore #didyounoticethese? #bangalorebloggers #bangalorelife #mycaptures #treelove #treescapes
  • It takes a lot of wrong roads to reach the right one. The important thing is to realise that we need to change course once we know we are not on track. . . Some destinations, though, are never meant for us. Wisdom is knowing when to give up looking for them and accept what we have. . . #Skywatchfriday #thoughtfulmood #whenlifehandsyoulemons #acceptwhatisnotforyou #lifeisapackagedeal #morningmotivation #beoveranddonewith #claimingthepeacewithin #skywatchingagain #sky_lovers #travelgram #skycolors #mylearningjourney #healingoneselfmindbodysoul #nobitterallowed #truthquotes #hurtandpain #sky_love #theskygirlpics #skywatchingisblissful #instabliss #instabeauty #theroadlesstraveled #backontheroadoflife #throwbacktoswisstrip #interlakenswitzerland #famtrip #12yearsold #throwbackpic #myjourneys #
