STORY OF MY MAID

Today i would love to tell u all about my maid who can be counted in one of my friends. Yes it sounds different as generally a maid should be considered a domestic help only ,that is one who does the household chores n takes a monthly salary . I know one must not make her feel so much homely that she takes advantage of going away with our daily commodities like soaps, grains like rice or anyother daily necessities.Here u can count me in lucky few who by the grace of God has got a maid who is a maid less n my small sister more , she is a gem of a person although not educated . She has been always there with me when  i have needed her the most.  Yes i can still remember the day when i was operated for my thyroid n i was in the hospital for 4 days she was the one who took care of my house that is cleaning it n also if needed would cook something for my son who was small . after i came from hospital i was in two thoughts whether to go at my bro's place for a few days as the doc had given instruction that i should not go near heat that is cooking was a big no for a month , as my bro had a maid who cooked as well as cleaned the house my hubby first prefered to stay there for a few days. That was not possible as my son had to go to school it would be difficult for him to travel  from Santacruz to Andheri  .   So it was decided that i come home , I just told my maid to help me in cooking food for a month she without asking for a rise in pay did the job in such a way as though i have kept her also for cooking , after a month when i asked her how much she would take for the extra work she had done for me she just said ," why are u asking me about how much i will take ,she felt bad n she said i did it cinsidering it to be my own sisters house i won't take any extra money . Till now she has not asked for the money or even not increased her salary ,it is only that she considers me an elder sister who hears to her when she needs most treating her like one of my family member sitting with her to have lunch makes her feel happy . She feels when i can be so good to her trust her for the past 8 years then where does the money come in between a wonderful relation, one thing more i would love to add about her is she is a believer in TIT FOR TAT. It sounds funny but were she is treated in a way maid is treated she behaves in a similar way , the only thing they want is love, understanding there problems trusting them but there is one more reality that not all are lucky to have such a person to help u , there are a few in hundreds who are lucky to have them in their lives but the rest have to manage with the daily tiffs with maids. I thank God for sending her in my life n may God bless her with all the happiness in life.                                                                       

PHASES OF LIFE-20's,30's,40's ----------------------

When we talk about life on the whole that is life of a person precisely we go through many stages of life. When a child is born he is new to this world n so he knows nothing about it , but like when our body demands food we ask for it but a small baby asks by crying . By crying he shows n let know the mother of his needs.Slowly he comes in stage 1 which is a toddler's stage,then a school going kid, a college going teenager then he completes his or her teen years n comes in the phase between 20's- 30's. this is is the first stage of person when he is in his prime young age when he is given rights to take decisions like anyother adult. he can choose his field of work were he enjoys working , there is no one who can stop him from creating his own world of happiness by settling down in life both job wise n also getting married. This and every phase comes in everyone's life ,in 20's-30's a youngster enjoys his life he can work hard for a better living n at the same time enjoy the earnings with his family . A youngster is full of energy ,so he must make maximum use of it n acquire whatever he wants in life. As one crosses the age of 30 there are some changes in terms of physical appearance as well as health wise. I specially mention health as we all no the purity in air , food n other things is vanishing, one comes across many diseases from this phase till the phase when old. Although when coming to pollution n disease causing bacteria no human is spared but it is sen in people coming in age group of 30's to 50's, anyways when one has crossed the age of 35 he becomes more matured than he was earlier
When talking about different phases of life I want to make one thing clear and that is these are only my views and what I think  about life coming in different phases, however it depends on individual view not necessary what i think . In life there is competition in every age group  so u ,me and everyone has to keep going with the changing times . Even at the age of 50 and 60 we find people actively participate in social activities like marathon  along with their younger counterparts . This is the way life is and also everyone goes through phases of life.

COOKING - MY PASSION

Let me first thank my dear friend for giving me an idea on what to write, i really thank u from the bottom of my heart for making me think less as to what should i put down for all my dear friends. As it has become a habit now to share with u all my thoughts ,i would like to share my passion n interest in life .Everyone has a passion of doing something in life in whichever field of their choice , rather things which they enjoy indulging in. I have a passion of cooking food for my dear ones , love to cook for guest as well as my family members. The only attempt which i try n do is improve the taste of the receipe everytime i cook it, rather try the same receipe in a little different way. I can make out when one enjoys the food that i am successful in pleasing the ATITHI, yes by appreciation n the satisfaction on the face,but i love the most when they suggest something new in it. I have a passion of learning to cook more different receipes from all the corners of the world though i have not attempted them but would like to do it one day. My biggest critic is my dear bro , u know when he criticizes the next time i almost improve the taste to get 100% from him ,though not a cook himself but can tell me by aroma if the food is salty or less salt ,whether it is sour than it should be, the next time the taste of the same receipe is just perfect. It is thanks to my mother that i got this quality from mother as while teaching me to cook when i was small she would teach me how to take criticism in a positive way so that next time u are perfect. I would like to say here whatever the passion be one must take both praise n criticism in a positive way then only u will succeed in life taking praises from one n all . My bros after my mom passed away 7 years back feel the same taste in what i cook they actually call me a dito copy of my mom as the same way i cook ,serve as she used to ,invite n entertain guest with delicious food, hey not praising myself for it as i give full credit to my mom who must be watching me happily from heaven  for the hospitality  which i love to do like her , loving to watch my dear ones enjoy the food .  I like her love to invite people n learn from them some food technics of improving the taste n also in which they are good at, Thanks Mom n God for making me a part of her n continue to do so like her . I need blessings of all the elders n good wishes of my friends to continue with what i am best at , a big Thanks to my dear friend NANS for guiding me always . I request u all to encourage me for writing on more nice things n in a better way Please give ur time to go thru my thoughts

WOMEN-THE STRENGTH OF MANKIND

Let me first salute the women of the world , infact everyone must salute n thank them for making world a beautiful place to live. Though a woman deserves more credit for the work she does irrespective whether she is working woman or a simple house wife . she is the one who sees to it that everyone's need are catered n taken care of properly,it may be the morning cup of tea,breakfast, the clothes of all the members of the family are washed n ironed properly, food is served on time n taken utmost care of the proper nutrients if she is a working women she does her office work cent percent. One can just see what a woman does for the society on the whole. A man gets to know from his own home. A simple housewife is no less than a working women infact she is the one who always works hard for her family n is not paid for the work she does,she actually doesnot need extra financial support when her needs are taken care of properly she needs only words of praise, appreciation n love that's all she wants from her near n dear ones most important the respect . It is seen in many Indian society that woman is the one who is the least respected rather she is ill treated , this is not only found in the lower income group or middleclass but also in the higher upper income group. It's shocking to know that people who are well educated are also responsible for degrading woman . I feel a strict law should be introduced to improve the society, the upliftment of woman should start from one's own home. Hope to see a better society were a woman is respected n treated equally with her male counterpart so let's start by saluting woman for the work she does for the betterment of society on the whole.

THE COLLEGE DAYS

Dating back to early 90's can start from 90-91,just enjoyed those days to the fullest those and the 2 years  before  were the years full of freedom,enjoyment n life without any tension ,here by tension i mean the stress in  various relationships we now face in this competitive world .Back in those days we never use to feel hurt by others comments or views there were differences of opinion  but never  a cat-dog fight .Taking the opinion of friends n doing what our mind says was the way of living  sometimes there was  a time when everyone use to feel the same thing n do the same thing.By this i mean there were different  opinions but doing the work together was the best at the end of the day ,sharing secrets ,going for movies or just sitting in LCR[LADIES COMMON ROOM ] was great fun .I still remember munching those hot bread rolls with steaming cup of Chai or Coffee. this fun was limited to girls only being LCR,but lots of fun with the whole group was on the 'KATTA'.This katta was always full of group of friends from different faculties whether of junior college or senior college also sometimes ex students used to meet each other on this katta ,enjoying the cool breeze thanks to the trees. We all used to chat,sometimes imitate the professors or some passerby walking in an unusual way. On the opposite side of our college there were many small eateries like a south indian food corner ,chineese fast food corner n the most famous Maharashtrian fast food corner serving hot n clean food stuff . We had  a choice to make from all the above fast food corners ,our taste buds were always satisfied by the choice of food as when one felt like eating south indian snacks we had MANI'S LUNCH HOME  to satisfy our tongue with hot snacks like idli sambar vada sambar etc hummmmm my mouth has started watering just going 22yrs back still feel the aroma of the piping hot sambar no extra cost for extra sambar n chutney. Next i remember Jayesh  famous for batata wada,sabudana wada ,misal paav n many more breakfast snacks n also snacks to be eaten for UPVAAS or FAST like sabudana khicdi,sabudana wada,piyush,yummy still know the taste of each n every food items.Last but not the least our chineese fast food specially  visited on birthday party or group celebration by contributing n how cheap it was as compared to now n the taste which has just disappeared .Nowdays it's a mixture of all taste can't make out the exact taste of dish,anyways back in college can never forget the various days the rose day,choclate day ,traditional day, annual day the college elections the speeches to be written by me for my friends standing for election.When i remember the days gone by i get a feeling of going back again to college n enjoying the days .This will be an experience for one n all whether still in college or just passed out or passed out long back n also those having children going to college n enjoying their life in college ,my son being one of them. I thank all of u for reading n sharing my feelings with me

LIFE- THE GAME OF DESTINY

A big HI to all my friends as this is my first experience ever of having a blog to share my views my experiences with selected few . Do u know the fact of life is based on destiny ,everything happens in life according to what is there in store for us by destiny. in our life we all have played many games some are still in some or the other whether professionally or as a timepass but life has stored destiny as a game for everyone, no one knows whether in the game of life one wins it just crossing all the obstacles or looses  by just backing out getting scared of overcoming them. It depends on a person whether he wants to enjoy the game by just waiting or going ahead crossing all the difficulties and making a name in the world .Everyone knows that we cannot fight with destiny n avoid what is going to happen in the future but we can make our life wonderful by making others happy our selves happy by just doing our hardwork helping out others whenever possible trying to forget whatever had happened not so good in life .I am able to write on this topic only because of one of my dear friend. She is the best example of a person who has faced the harsh experiences with life , she believes in destiny n what it had stored for her which like everyone she didnot expect  would happen again n again but she has stood like a pillar of strength  and courage for herself n people like us . It was destiny who made us apart from each other for a span of two decades n it was destiny who made us meet again ,I feel this is a true game of destiny. Finally i thank life as it has a game stored named destiny for everyone whether bad or good if bad we get an experience n strength to overcome the bad effects n enjoy the good ones ,THE BAD ONES ACTUALLY MAKE US MORE STRONG THEN EVER  AND THE GOOD ONES GIVES US THE POWER TO TOLERATE ANYTHING . thanks everyone for going through whatever i have written
