Happy Diwali to All

Hello All and Happy Diwali, 

It is fascinating to see fire crackers and lights all over Bur Dubai and it doesn't feel we are away from our home town in India. So many people from different emirates and far places in Dubai visit Bur Dubai specially in Diwali to see the great festival India has. I could hear fire crackers until 2.00 am in the morning and I was happy to see everyone enjoying, specially children.
 

Next day morning when I woke up and went to balcony, I saw few people cleaning the crackers left over and I felt these people also deserves a Happy Diwali, though it is their duty to clean but their workload increased massively. Everywhere there were burned out crackers and frankly who likes a increased workload!





Now if you think this post is about criticizing people who burst fire crackers, but no! It is a trend to blame and criticize everything on internet which I want to stay away with. On the contrary, I believe in principle of 'Live and Let Live' which means you should tolerate the opinions and behavior of others so that they will similarly tolerate your own. You cant criticize someone for behaving differently from you.

So me and my daughter went down and said Thank you for Cleaning and Sorry for the additional work, but they were really happy and wished us Happy Diwali instead. They were happy that someone noticed and appreciated the work they do. I told them if they are going to be around for some more time and they said yes as they had just started with one ground.

I quickly went to grocery store, bought some fruits, biscuits and sweets on behalf of all the people who enjoyed bursting fire crackers yesterday. Somehow I didn't feel like taking pictures of what I did, because what they do everyday for us is much more than a small act I did for them. I was more happy with the smiles :)

If you think Diwali is over and you cant do anything much now, but they are there around us, everyday cleaning our roads in morning around 6AM. If you enjoyed your Diwali, do something for them, let them believe in the goodness of people.

This was indeed a Happy Diwali for me.

Parenting tips of Boss Mumma!

I was in for the orientation day for my 2 years old daughter and was surprised on the questions raised at the meeting by other parents. There were questions like, will you feed the children? what if they don’t eat the food? will you make them learn how to eat food? I was surprised because my child was not only eating on her own but was also toilet trained and wearing shoes on her own so it was very strange for me and made me realize that there are few things which I might be doing differently. 1.        Over caring is spoiling them : We as a parent feel that children needs too much care to grow up but the opposite is true, they need our guidance and support rather than over care. Often parents do too much to look after the child and are exhausted to the core. I have seen mother running after child to feed, some mothers feed her son or daughter until they are 10years old. Mothers feel that they are responsible for their children’s food and stuff them. When my daughter was 6 month

My Maid - My Aid - My Lifeline

 Picture is from public domain I have heard so many people with their stories of maid and I was very skeptical about the whole thing. Since I am working, and was about to deliver a baby, I had to hire someone who can take care of my daughter, house & me. Being in Dubai this is the hardest job to handover your bundle of joy to someone you don’t know and thorough preparation is required. My first experience with maid was like others where I had to send her back just in 3 months of working with us. We had hired her as my husband knew her and we did not do any reality check or aligned expectations. We were happy to call someone we knew but that turned out to be even worse.   Now equipped with the latest failure, I knew what I wanted and started searching for a new maid with a strong believe that there are good people on earth and someone better would replace her and as if my wish was granted, I found the perfect maid for us. But to get there I assured the following:

Difficulties

Answers to our questions do come but we have to wait for it to come. When the desire to get the answers is left and when we let go of the stress, the route becomes clearer. Difficult times are learning times, you learn highest during this time. You adjust, balance, re-align yourself. You understand, love and accept more. You forgive, trust and have more faith. I love watching plants in my balcony grow. Irrespective of all the unfavorable conditions, they grow. Not only they grow but give flowers and fruits, they never fail to amuse me. Be like plants 😊 grow and give..
