The To-Do List

A piece of little torn paper that lies like a sacred scripture in my wallet, is none other than my guide to 'happy completion of tasks'. I so much adore the process.. Noting down what are the things i want to finish. Setting priorities and assigning date of completion. Striking a nice tick beside it, after my work is complete.

I ask myself 'why a paper to note down, when there are so many new technologies to do the same?' I am not sure of the answer. What can it be? Because this paper keeps popping out of my wallet, reminding me there are things waiting! Because it has that personal touch.. my handwriting.. there is something about it...seriously! Before, I have used Google tasks & my cell phone application but it didn't do wonders. Somehow the satisfaction i feel after every strike out is inexpressible and was probably missing elsewhere.

I have now found a solution to my forgetful nature. Besides, the people who once enjoyed realizing me how forgetful i am, are upset to not find such events! I don't miss any opportunity and I am never in hurry!!

Visit to the Sagar Upwan

A Garden that was a dumping ground once is maintained more esthetically than any other! Not just because it lies hugging the seashore but also because its on the most elite part of the island city. A botanical garden so beautiful that it attracts most of the newbie photographers and it bets that any shot will earn you applause. Simply gaze by the path and be jolted by every other flora and fauna. Here are some pictures I took.

An Ideal School System

Reading Raghu's Rearview made me realize why kids dread school so much and why i still don't like to recollect my school days. What I don't get is the attitude of parents in-general. Why do they on the first place want their piece of heart to go through such bad upbringing. In Raghu's words, School is mediocrity and uniformity at its worst... when all parents want is the opposite of that. I get anxious on the thought of sending my kid to any school... which is why homeschooling excites me. Is it my fear or something else? I don't know! All I know is i would send my child without any delay to a place where he genuinely learned and enjoyed learning. Where he finds that being of use to anyone is the only creditability to have something learned and providing value to the society can be an ultimate goal. Screw Exams. How perfect would it be to have questions from the student himself and he tried to figure of the answer! Ideally It should be the student passing ...

A weekend at a Farmhouse

During the extra-long lockdown, we had an opportunity to visit one of our family’s farmhouse. 3 hours from our home, somewhere in the fog city of igatpuri lay this amazing nature rescue. Paddy fields The place was mesmerizing with hills and paddy farms surrounding us. The early morning sun shone right in front of the verandah that our room was attached to. It was foggy every morning and clouds all day long so never did we feel the October heat. We hardly felt like staying in our luxurious rooms. I being a nature lover, enjoyed roaming around the fields, the flowering shrubs that beautified the paths and a machan to overlook till your eyesight would reach.  Everyday view The sleeping beauty mountain The mountain, the river, the fields, the well, the hand pump, the insects, the flowers and the cattle were the topic of learning for my homeschooled kid. He had a friend to accompany him all day long. She was a year older than him, yet they both did compliment each other in many ways. W...
