What I did on a Women's day

As everyday I started my day at 4:00am. Did my usual chores like opened windows and main door, lit lamps, took shower, watered my plants, fed my fishes, cleaned my parakeets cage and got ready for my yoga class. 

5am - 6am is my yoga class. It was an amazing session as always.

6:15am - 7:15am I have my mindfulness session. I vented out my distress, discussed about the change in me and learned new chakara and meditation today.

After the session i had some office work to do, so i continued staying in the balcony where i attended mindfulness session. 

When I went inside after my work, Vijay already cooked chicken curry & rice for lunch and boiled milk. Thank god that saved a lot of my time. I kept fruits for kids for breakfast. Yes, we eat unprocessed and uncooked food for a meal in a day.

Almind gave me a cute handmade card. Kids started with their online classes and Vijay with his office work. I started to get ready for a school, where I was invited as a chief guest.

I went to the school(Chennai girl's higher secondary school, Perambur) after many diversions and misdirection of google map. I was late by10 minutes 😭 I met my cousin Deepika there, had a word with the head mistress. I was asked to address the 11th grade kids on the topic "Do's & Don't of technology in Covid". I have already sent my presentation slides through email so everything was set well in advance.

In the auditorium, there were bunch of 200+ girls eagerly waiting for my speech.  After the formal introduction i started my presentation. Since it was a post lunch session, i thought students would be sleepy but to my surprise it was an interactive session. I was so happy when a couple of girls asked questions and got their doubts cleared. One student said few things in the slide are new to her. Happiness is sharing knowledge, you all agree right? 🙂

When I came out of the school, suddenly I thought of visiting my in laws who stayed very close by that school.  My Mother in law likes chocolate cakes. So bought her few chocolate cake slices and went to their place. My in laws are all surprised when they saw me. Wished Patti who is 90 years old and my mil for women's day, spent some time there and returned back home.

After reaching home had some evening snacks, spent some time with kids. Albrain gave me a beautiful hand made card. Then I got ready for my online Beledi sesssion at 6:30pm. After the session, showered, prepared and had dinner. Spent some time on blog and winding up the day with lots of love and memories 😍

Hope you all had a great day 😎

International Women's Day 2021

I was tagged in few posts for women's day. I'm attaching those below and also my view on women's day 😊

Tag 1 - Thanks for the tag Vaidehi Sivaraman 😊

More power to every woman who loves to cook. But what about the ones who feel more at home at a place other than the kitchen? 

These women should have the option of leaving the cooking to appliances. Because, the kitchen is a place for gadgets. #AWomansPlace is wherever she wants it to be. To me #awomansplace  is where she believes in herself, makes decisions and brings a change for herself and others 💜

If you feel the same way, please share a video or photo with a placard completing the sentence. 

#AWomansPlace is…….. 

Nominating friends who have carved a place for themselves outside the kitchen. ( I nominated few friends on my insta and FB friends list here)

My Views now 💜

I have crossed many women in my life and my favourite/role models would be my mom, sister, in laws and cousins because i have lived with them, seen their struggles, the way they handle situations, rise again and get back more stronger 🤰🏻🤱🏻

I do have role models outside my family -  my friends and public figures 👭🏻

When people ask me is it right to celebrate a single day for a women? First of all there is no right or no wrong in the world. It all depends on the situation and perception. For me yes everyday is an awesome day to celebrate, and there is no wrong in celebrating a single day with extra special effects ❤️

One point every women has to remember every single day is she is worth more than anything in the world. It doesn't mean we should put down the opposite gender. We have our own uniqueness, our own strength, our own ambition, our own dream. Always chase it and you will find the real happiness and peace.

Couldn't understand what i mean?  I'll post a situation here, see if you can relate to it.

I visited a friend's place long back. She is a happy homemaker. After a long talk and our chats she said she is very happy being at home taking care of kids and family. I'm really happy to hear that my friend is living a happy and contented life. But something was hindering me when i was travelling back home, is she really who she was? whom i have been friend during school days? Who had so much of dreams, passion, ambition and potential?

Sometimes we women fall prey to praises. When a family member says that we cook and maintain our home clean. We think that we are born for that. No, think about the ambition you had, the dreams you dreamt, the struggles you faced to choose a path.

We women are multitaskers by nature. We can do many jobs perfectly but at the end what you desire inside is all matters.

Happy Women's day everyday 😍

With Love
