Urvi's Scribbling

It’s been three decades since I was born, yet never lived outside Mumbai. I shared my thoughts with my hubby regarding staying someplace else to enjoy some life experiences. One evening he comes home and tells me, “it seems you have been praying really hard”. I had completely forgotten about our talk and couldn’t relate to what he was referring to. My heart was pounding harder with every word he spoke. So, I started my journey in the garden city of Bengaluru in 2016. I was so excited to live life on my own terms. To cook what I want to, to keep stuffs my own way and no one to judge. Such freedom seeking and adventurous mind I had. Slowly I understood the cons too. I lived in central Mumbai and now I am at HSR Layout of Bengaluru. My observations are restricted to these places. So here is the list of things I find surprising in here… 1. Primitive attitude : I had two different house helps who don’t send their girl child to school. Girls age 6 and above take care of infant w...

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 ...

How would you imagine your life with a Robot? Life with Robot The Robot would be helpful... do its duty... do as it is asked to... not complain and not change any of your routine. Imagine you talk and there is no genuine feedback because you know what is programmed is the output. Imagine you are the only one who shares loquaciously. When you want it to understand emotions, you will have to tell it all in words because it couldn't see through your expressions. It couldn't read your eyes and just hug you because you deserved it. But hugged you because you asked for. It may masturbate for you... it may tell you jokes if you wanted to be entertained... and even accompany you on a stroll when you felt alone. It would not be like owning a pet... like how your dog would come running, liking all over your face even though it was home alone while you were out. It would just make its presence felt by acting to breath a little louder... just incase you wanted to know that its...

How to be Mentally Strong?  Ami Morin is a therapist and has written the bestseller "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do". I haven't read the book but I have heard her tedx talk. Here is the guidance by Amy Morin and my notes on them.  Believe in yourself We usually have certain beliefs about ourselves that are developed during our childhood. Like I am lazy to finish any task, I am an angry person, I am only good to people for certain amount of time etc. These are the statements usually by my key person, my guardian or my mom. I do feel offended when she says so but I accept it like a blind faith. If I try to say good things about myself and prove with incidences I can regain faith in my efforts, in myself. That will make me HAPPY. Daily Gratification is a good habit I will cultivate. It will surely make me feel special and thankful for what i have. Achieving my goals will elevate my faith in myself. Don't Compare yourself We find ourse...

For the love and excitement of having the first baby every mother tries making something memorable.. I am sharing mine. ART 1: Tried my hands on the "transfer a picture on wood" DIY. Took a print through an inkjet printer and glued it upside down with modpodge. after an hour used a wet towel to remove the paper carefully. ART 2: I took some 100 nails and placed them on the initial I drew. After nailing them, took a golden string and tried covering the letter, leaving just some space of the heart i created at the bottom.  I am very satisfied of the outcome. Hoping to create more art with him soon.

It was our society's flag hoisting event where I had a chance to have a short chat with one of my neighbor. She is young, Gujarati, working professional with Infosys pune. She was tired of her frequent trips from Pune to Mumbai and was searching job in Mumbai now. Staying as PG with 3 other girls, cooking and cleaning and having the freedom that every young heart desires after graduation was now boredom to her. This made me realize a few perks I am enjoying. My husband had been staying away from home before marriage while he was working with Wipro. Due to his PG experience, I benefit a lot now. He doesn't mind helping me in household chores. He was used to the sharing and assistance to other fellow mates.  He has an open mind to my thoughts and respects my work as a stay at home mother. He knows that after the hard day at work someone has washed, folded and ironed his clothes. He is a foodie but not picky about food and taste. He understands the efforts taken ...

It started from 6:30-7 in the evening on 15th July. I experienced typical pain for every minute in an interval of hour. I thought it might be some other pain as my EDD was on 22nd. The pain grew n I had to call hubby home but he came on his regular time. I requested him to stay beside me so that I feel secure, which he did. I tried sleeping but then started to get cramps in my lower body. I also did vomiting n went to washroom for more than 8 times. That day was chaturdashi so I ate before sunset. I had taken Anemia of caster oil in the morning under the guidance of an Ayurvedic Doc which made the labour active. I got admitted by 2:15. Till morning the doctor kept inspecting and gave me pain injections because he felt the pain was less. My MIL slept in the same room and made me more uncomfortable with her regular remarks that still I am not having that kind of pain that can deliver a baby. I was hoping to pass the night as soon as possible so that my hubby could come back and I have ...
