Celebrating life with family

I live in a joint family and at the same time I am a working professional. Even though it is hard to balance
 a busy domestic life and a demanding work life yet I try to strike a balance between the two.
Throughout the day I work hard to meet deadlines and complete the projects on time and at home
 it’s the household chores that take my time and energy. So we have come up with an arrangement
at home by which we share our responsibilities and take turns to share our work load. This ensures
 that all our domestic chores are completed smoothly and without any commotion and tension.
Instead anyone who comes to our home finds an environment of celebration and festivity in our house.
 The chirpy chit chat of kids ,the flow of laughter and enjoying life is a on going daily ritual that
 celebrates life in our home.
What ensures our mood of celebration in our house is not just sharing of our work but ensuring
that we go on picnics together not just once a year but on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Sometimes these picnics are day time trips and sometimes we visit and stay overnight
at nearby places for a relaxing change. These make the picnics into weekend getaways.
However what is important is not just these picnics and weekend getaways but the preparation
 of these trips fills the lives of everyone in my household with an eager sense of joy and excitement.
Selecting a destination and planning what all activities would be undertaken at the destination is an on-going process.
As we return from a trip we begin planning as to where we would go next. We list the activities that we would do there be it boat riding, going on treks or long walks in the jungle or by the river side.
The only condition that we impose upon ourselves is that whatever activities we undertake at the venue it should be enjoyed by all the family members. Since our family consists of three generations therefore
 it is important to decide upon activities that can be enjoyed by the entire household.
So playing word games and singing songs on the way is a great way to bond and spend time together.
At the destination we look for activities like going on walks and visiting places of interest like
 temples and places of tourist interest and museums. It  is a very nice way where the senior most
 generation and the youngest most members walk hand in hand and these experiences help
 to bridge the generation gap and together we all celebrate being in the company of each other and this adds great value and quality to our lives.

An open letter to all fellow bloggers #IamWashiqur

Dear Fellow bloggers,
                                   I am a bloggers like you all. Blogging is not my profession but my passion. It is a medium to let out my feelings, raise my voice and create awareness about issues. As part of the civilized world we should have the right and freedom to express ourselves. Freedom of speech should be a fundamental right throughout the world. In the wake of recent violence against bloggers and deaths I can only say that it reflects badly on the state of the civilized world

I take in support of every blogger

Sometimes Sorry is not enough

Sorry is one of the most abused words
people use it to get out of tight spots
sometimes they do not even mean it
However there are instances when due to a number of reasons
people never say sorry or give an apology
I feel that saying sorry is more about feelings.
It is a feeling that you have done something wrong. If you feel it in your heart only then it has any effect.
Without having the realization. the word #sorry is meaningless
