<b style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As mothers we are responsible for your child’s actions and behavior. But, it is not easy to inculcate discipline and good behavior. Kids try crazy things as per adult standards like, climbing on table, running on street and so on. Their action follows impulse, with no thought in between.<br />
<br />
Connecting with your child helps. Discipline and good behavior is grounded on a healthy relationship between parent and child. Connected parents become their own experts on their own child, so they know what behavior is appropriate to expect and how to convey these expectations. Connected children know what behavior parents expect and make an effort to behave this way because they want to please their parents. Together these parents and children develop a style of discipline that works for them.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that our child watches us. Any misbehavior or wrong act will be imitated by our child.<br />
<br />
Have conversations with your child. During bed-time make-up stories that reflect good behavior and consequences of bad behavior.<br />
<br />
Tell her your experience as a child when you didn’t listen to your parent and paid for it. Also, some good examples. The key is to get behind the eyes of your child.<br />
<i style="color: #660000;"><br />
Do share your experience on how you handle this important responsibility.</i></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Attitude
Matters </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">There is no end to happiness of a Mother. Good potty, 5 rotis,
10 hrs sleep, good grades, 1<sup>st</sup></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">six hit
and much more, it depends on how much one can experience. At the same time we should
note that happiness comes with difficulty and pain. But, All’s well that ends
well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">3 years ago I got my daughter married, love marriage. My
son-in-law is a gem of a person. We as a family are lucky to have found such a
good match for her. During her marriage I frequently looked back in time. The
day I got married, my three kids. Life has been tough and kind at the same
time. I had my share of post marriage adjustments & disappointments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Life was moving ahead happily. My daughter became mother of a
baby girl. All was prefect until recently. During my casual visit to her I
sensed something wrong. Late in the night she suddenly started crying,
inconsolable. You can understand my plight then. At <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1074582001" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">midnight</span></span> she told me that
in an argument my son-in-law said that he had lost interest in her. That night
my poor baby cried to sleep.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Morning over bed tea we spoke. I made her understand that there
is basic difference between men and women. Men may not be as emotional as women
and sometimes might say things that they real don’t mean. I don’t know why do
they do that, but they are known to do that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Later during breakfast I noticed that he cared for her and he
had made mistake by making a wrong statement. Once he left for work we spent
the day shopping, calling parlour lady at home. We had fun-time. I was happy
because my baby was. She looked much better after her hair cut and in her new
outfit. She has actually lost herself in motherhood. I arranged for
candle light dinner in a nearby restaurant for both of them. I stayed home with
my granddaughter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Next morning my daughter got me bed tea. She thanked me for
making her understand what had gone wrong. She thought she understood the
problem. But No! she had not understood it all, there was more. </span></div>
<div class="im">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">During rest of the day we discussed attach-detach theory. That
we should set limits to everything we do, so that we don’t lose ourselves. In
any scenario we should not lose our identity. We should be attached to our
loved ones at the same time we should be able to be detached from them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">If you are happy, you can make others happy. If you maintain interest
in yourself no one can lose interest in you. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">So my request to all Mothers is that love yourself, treat
yourself as an individual and not as catalyst all the time. I am sure your
Mother would love to see you happy and so would you to see you daughter.
Celebrate every moment. Add more happiness to life with a positive attitude. Be
good!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Beautiful world is waiting for you, if you aren’t there ALREADY!</span></div>

Birth, education, work, marriage and motherhood, throughout I
have been in a metro. For the past three years I am confined to family life. Day
starts at home and ends at home….24 hours with my child. There are short visits
to the outside world, for a change.</div>

I am thankful to social networking sites; they keep me
updated on latest happenings. Latest being the election fever. Most of my
friends have posted their pics with captions like flaunt your finger, got
inked, my vote and so on. Few pics which had both face and finger mentioned ‘<i>Selfie</i>’. ‘<i>Selfie</i>’ to me sounds like ‘Selfish’. But, people use this word with
confidence and pride. Wonder what’s wrong with me. Am I moving backwards in
time? Should I blame my confinement or seeks my granny’s shelter? </div>

Today results of 9<sup>th</sup> grade were announced. A dark
cloud surrounded me when I learnt that my child is weak in Maths. Not that I
was unaware of it. But here, weak in Maths means, Math as a subject cannot be
opted for. In simple words no engineering, no architecture, no flied that
involves Maths.</div>

Both of us were quite on our way home. I was trying to figure
out a wise way to handle the situation. Teenage so venerable and career…

I be calm or imposing? Where did I go wrong?</div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">THE AASHIANA rape victim’s father has turned to the Right to Information Act in a bid to pin the accused down.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sabruddin has filed an application at the district magistrate’s office under the Act. He has sought information on whether three of the accused, who are lodged in a juvenile jail, are actually minors.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">While surrendering in court, the trio had submitted documents which said they were minors. They are on trial in a juvenile court. The rest of the accused are facing trial in the court of the additional district judge.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sabruddin wants to know if the three accused possess arms licences. If these licences have been issued in their names, no other evidence is required to prove that the accused are not juvenile.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sabruddin will also seek information from the Regional Transport Officer’s office on whether driving licences were issued in their names. He said, “They are not juvenile. All the evidence supporting their claim is fake.” The victim, too, had said that the accused were not juvenile. The father, however, feared that influential family members of the main accused could cause obstacles in getting details from the departments concerned.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The main accused, nephew of a don-turned ruling party leader, had first surrendered before a court and claimed he was a minor. Earlier, he had obtained a stay against arrest from the High Court. Police investigation and the evidence corroborated that the don’s nephew was the first to abduct the girl from Aashiana area on May 2, 2004.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This was confirmed by the victim herself. The car used in the crime was owned by the elder brother of the main accused. The victim had also stated that it was this youth only who was leading a group of goons in the car.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The girl was later taken to the Kapoorthala shop of the youth and from there to a plot owned by the family of the main accused. The accused had taken turns on the girl there, too, before throwing her out of the car near Daliganj railway crossing in a semi-unconscious and critically injured state.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a summer afternoon. I was waiting for her at
Ahmedabad Railway Station. It was our 1<sup>st</sup> meet after becoming
friends online.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From Mumbai I had come to Ahmedabad for an exhibition. She
was being re-located from <st1:city w:st="on">Jammu</st1:city> to <st1:city w:st="on">Jamnagar</st1:city>. It was sheer coincidence
that we happened to be in <st1:place w:st="on">Gujarat</st1:place>, Ahmedabad
on the same day, almost at the same time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I arrived and waited for her. As per train schedule I had to
wait for 40 mins. But, her train got delayed and I had to wait for more than 90
mins. Was curious and anxious at the same time. As the time passed I also became nervous.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looking back at how we became friends, I remembered how she
had investigated about me. Her interrogative nature was welcomed, her curiosity
appreciated. Knowing her was like rediscovering me. Within few chatting
sessions we realised we were already good friends. I am happy she became my
friend, glad that we sincerely took efforts; we still do, to be in contact in
spite of responsibilities and distances between us.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have made many friends through this blog, all from
different culture and background. We are friends, all of us different from each
other, also alike in a way or other. Knowingly or unknowingly you all have
become a part of my life. As I pondered, the train arrived. My special friend was
right in front of me. My first friend through the blog and the first I
met</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We spent barely 15 mins chatting, and it was time to depart.
Meeting Prachi and her kids Mihtit & Mehul at the station was for a very short time but I am sure this sweet memory will last for years to
come.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<o:p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">That was how I met my soul mate. When ‘We Met’.</span></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></o:p><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>There are enough reasons to fall in love, look around, there
is no dearth.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Celebrate if you have already found a friend soul mate.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

again.</i></span></div>

Again<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Falling in love is such a wonderful feeling. Words can’t describe it well.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pQ4bibkOYrU/Tzo4CViBpZI/AAAAAAAAAGc/6pQXQO0eIJk/s1600/KINDNESS-mother-child-holding-hands-235x285.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pQ4bibkOYrU/Tzo4CViBpZI/AAAAAAAAAGc/6pQXQO0eIJk/s200/KINDNESS-mother-child-holding-hands-235x285.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zN6W_oRFoKw/Tzo3ulOEzbI/AAAAAAAAAGU/-0Wd3pBqxl0/s1600/post.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zN6W_oRFoKw/Tzo3ulOEzbI/AAAAAAAAAGU/-0Wd3pBqxl0/s200/post.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When, I first saw him, my would-be life partner I had my apprehensions. But slowly, gradually I fell in love with him. I was so lost is love that I took it for granted. And lived with it, without caring for it. It always surrounded me; in quarrels, birthdays, anniversaries, picnic, vacation and more. During bad times I always thought that love comes only if exchanged. And in exchange what I received was always less </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">L</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then I saw dawn of the day; when I was holding my baby. Each day my love grew and still does for her. With no exchange offer. No mater what she does, no matter how she is, my love never lessens. I am sure it won’t lessen in future too when I grow old, when she is married and busy with my grandchildren. She too loves me, no doubt about it. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My dear friend do you realise there is a woman in your life who is in love with you. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She has been there, went through and moving ahead on the path called motherhood.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Loving you each day unconditionally. Today is the day to show her that you care. Share your love. Fall in love with her again. As a baby you loved her….now as a mother love her again.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div>Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10956097340601219275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073930898311709619.post-67708284612078572512012-01-14T16:45:00.003+05:302012-01-14T17:48:44.657+05:30<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kiBpZ35JZhE/TxFjwL9UueI/AAAAAAAAAF8/jfEypFXXvuk/s1600/330998_285793294812154_100001444585917_879330_1124821446_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kiBpZ35JZhE/TxFjwL9UueI/AAAAAAAAAF8/jfEypFXXvuk/s400/330998_285793294812154_100001444585917_879330_1124821446_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

This Diwali lets throw light on the hazards that boisterous <i>Diwali </i>celebrations pose to our environment.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">For most people lighting of firecrackers is the highlight of <i>Diwali</i>. Brighter the sparkles, louder the noise, greater the thrill! In fact to many of us, these aesthetic forms of light seem appropriate and most essential when celebrating the 'Festival of Lights'. But little do people realise that the high level of noise generated by the crackers cause immense suffering not only to humans but also to birds and animals.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tk7gok61E5k/TqaGbubvinI/AAAAAAAAAFA/KoFQ8TZ-uCs/s1600/collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tk7gok61E5k/TqaGbubvinI/AAAAAAAAAFA/KoFQ8TZ-uCs/s320/collage.jpg" width="127" /></span></a><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"> The hazards posed by excessive noise pollution are:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"> Hearing loss, high blood pressure, heart attack and sleep disturbances.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"> Sudden exposure to loud noise could cause temporary deafness or permanent relative deafness.</span></li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">In our increasingly populated and polluted cities, the temporary joy of watching the firecrackers is soon replaced by high level of air pollution. The toxic substances used in firecrackers release toxic gases that are harmful for of all living beings. Harmful effects of chemicals used in firecrackers cause respiratory diseases,</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">affects nervous system, causes skin problems, vomiting and the dust & fumes can cause metal fume fever.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Sadly, few of us realise that firecrackers are mostly made by very young children. Since the substances being handled are extremely toxic many of these child labourers get sick and die in their early teenage years.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">So, this time think twice before you burst fireworks….</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />

Often, people buy new items even when they don't need them. This significantly impacts our natural resources.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />

Be it plastic, metal, paper or cloth - all of these raw materials come directly from nature. Sources that are non-renewable such as fossil fuels and metal ores get depleted. Depletion of non-renewable natural resources is one of the most significant impacts of consumerism.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Another effect of consumerism is the creation of solid-waste, which is non-biodegradable. This has to be buried into holes dug up in the ground. These 'land fills' as they are called may exist for centuries without completely getting integrated into the soil. The plastic toys that you are throwing away today, may exist in a landfill several generations after yours! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />

Reduce : the amount of things we use</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">2. Reuse : the things we have in different forms until we have absolutely</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"> no use for them</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">3. Recycle : items that are no longer functional</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">4. Rethink: the choices we make when deciding to buy something </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">5. Refuse: things that we do not need at all</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">So this Diwali, follow above five principles before you buy/accept. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />

</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">High energy consumption</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">The festival of lights adds to a considerably heavy load on electrical energy sources which are already overloaded. The use of electric lights to adorn homes, business establishments, monuments and roads requires a huge amount of electricity. The older tradition of burning oil lamps is a possible alternative to electric lights - even though it does use oil, the duration of the lamps is shorter. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Wish You Happy & Safe Diwali...</span></b></div></div>Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10956097340601219275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073930898311709619.post-72749504443549949032011-08-15T14:00:00.000+05:302011-08-15T14:00:51.497+05:30Dear Friends<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Her story so far: she is a farmer’s daughter from Wardha, Maharastra. A class 5 dropout. At age of 12, she was sent to her in-laws home, were she was beaten, mistreated and overworked. At age 24, she was thrown out of home after a domestic dispute. She was then 9 months pregnant.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">She delivered her daughter in a cowshed, cutting the umbilical cord with a sharpened stone. For livelihood she sang and begged on trains. In her worst phase of life she tried to commit suicide thrice but, survived. While she begged she saw urchins living on platforms and tired to take care of them by sharing food. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Six months after her daughter was born, she made her toughest decision and some say most brutal-decision. She left her daughter at a social welfare trust in Pune. And she began to adopt urchins living on platforms.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For the next 13 years, Sapkal cared for street children and urchins with funds she could raise from her singing and begging and with donations she solicited through powerful speeches. In 1986, she registered her 1<sup>st</sup> orphanage in Amravati.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nearly, 2 decades after her 1<sup>st</sup> orphanage was opened, she got word that her husband, then 75 was ailing and alone. He was old and orphan. She had to help him. Now she has 4 orphanages and is a beloved Mai (Mother) to more than 1,000 orphans.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Along the way, Sapkal gave up her daughter so as to remain impartial to her other children, forgave and nursed her husband on his deathbed than reconciled with her child after 20 years. As a mother she was worried that her daughter would never understand why she had to leave her. But now she is with her again and this makes her believe that she did the right thing.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Many of the children that she adopted are well educated lawyers and doctors, and some including her biological daughter are running their independent orphanages. One of her child is doing phd on her life. Till date she is honoured by 272 awards. She used all that money to buy land to make home for her orphan children.</span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">All these years, she went about her work quietly, begging, pleading and struggling to find money and resources. She came into limelight after a film was made on her life. If you know of an individual who has been working like her but has not been appreciated, then please start posting about them on social networking sites. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">It will definitely help them in fund-raising and encourage others in participating.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Monsoon has arrived in Mumbai and is loving its stay here. Showers in morning, showers in noon, in the evening and at night. Days are dark and nights darker. Cold breeze blowing getting temperatures lower.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thursday was the day rains began. It poured unexpectedly all over Mumbai and most of us didn’t have umbrella. I was one of them. I was forced to venture in the rains as my kid and guests waited for me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #274e13; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4RCepZPyhPE/TfiK6bBn7KI/AAAAAAAAADw/gXpRVhnRl88/s1600/megh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4RCepZPyhPE/TfiK6bBn7KI/AAAAAAAAADw/gXpRVhnRl88/s200/megh.jpg" width="171" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Next day I woke with cold, fever and sore throat. The scenario from my window was the same, dark clouds pouring. My little son came up to me all excited about the rains. There was something special about his excitement. It was infectious. I too began to enjoy the scene. Wet roads, water filled pot holes, colourful umbrellas and raincoats. Birds hiding from rain while few street dogs enjoying the rains. We sat by the window wetted out hands and sprinkled water on each other.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now, the child in me was growing bolder. Ideas crept in making leaps forward. I asked my son, “Would you like to go for a walk?” I knew he would agree so did he. Soon we were on the street heading towards playground. Our pants folded, holding an umbrella and giggling most of the time.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j75_E9MmLWs/TfiK5pfpb_I/AAAAAAAAADs/gDd4Vom4VpE/s1600/boys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j75_E9MmLWs/TfiK5pfpb_I/AAAAAAAAADs/gDd4Vom4VpE/s200/boys.jpg" width="200" /></a></span><span style="font-size: small;">We walked hand-in-hand while it continued to pour. To our surprise there were enthusiastic lads playing football in the playground. Every kick splashed muddy water and every goal saved had a proof on their cloths. In no time their enthusiasm got injected in my son. He jumped in puddles splashing water on me. With a smile I let him do it. The moment I got a chance I did the same. In one splash he was wet till his waist. For few seconds he was shocked. But, in no time my child comprehended with the child in me and played sportingly.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We were wet, we were dirty, we were enjoying it but we were hungry. Just like a cherry on top of the cake we spotted a Bhuttawala in the rains. In the noise of rain drops corn cracked on charcoal lit fire. A layer of nimboo masala made it a perfect eat. We relished each bite of it. It was delicious.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0H7EbT2QZu8/TfiKxLlPV1I/AAAAAAAAADo/KMGseGpOIKg/s1600/Roasted+Corn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0H7EbT2QZu8/TfiKxLlPV1I/AAAAAAAAADo/KMGseGpOIKg/s200/Roasted+Corn.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-size: small;">It was time for me to pay for the corn. There was a problem when I fished my pocket. In all the excitement the money has got wet. The ten rupee note looked as if it was out from a torture cell. The crispiness had vanished; the strength was lost, if not carried carefully it was about to part. I dared to present it to the buttawala worrying he would only deny. But, again to my surprise he accepted it with a smile.I think and believe that the monsoon mania has taken over him, like it did to me, my son, the football players and many more whom I couldn’t see.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tired we returned home, ate and slept like a log. We woke-up to narrate our expedition in rains to my husband, animatedly. He was shocked and surprised at the same time. He confessed he had missed the real fun. I felt sorry for the child in him; because I know it is no different than the child in me.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am sure I will cherish those two hours for rest of life. I wish my son enjoys rains all his life and remember this day when he made the child in his mother come alive.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rains are to enjoy and the best way is to enjoy it child-like.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please share your best monsoon clicks.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mail to: motherchild.ind@gmail.com, I will upload it on this blog as well as on the FB id.

Nine months later they were blessed with a beautiful daughter. They named her Naima. Naima means “blessing” in Arabic. They were truly blessed. Deepa proved to be a dedicated, never complaining mother. She slept for few hours, spend most of her time changing/cleaning nappies, feeding and loving her baby all the time. Naima grew beautiful with each passing day. Deepa joined work while Naima stayed at a day care centre. Though Deepa spent less time with Naima she made sure it was quality time spend, leaving no reason for complaint or regret.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: white;">One fine Saturday Deepa felt quite tired early in the morning. Naima has suffered from viral fever that week; which had exhausted her. At the same time Shyam was away on work tour.

She was quite a fine observer. She looked surprised, later her facial muscles tensed which relax the moment Naima cried “mamma”. She was done with her potty. After cleaning and putting her to sleep Deepa furiously browsed her PC, checking pages of websites. After some time she gave up. Turned off her PC and she lay by Naima. She wept bitterly, thinking of what she has read. Peptic ulcer, cancer……. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

There he was smiling, expecting a warm hug. Instead Deepa cried like a baby. She was hysterical. They managed to sit, and Deepa narrated the entire story of what has happened after lunch, sobbing. “ Naima’s stool was odd in colour. I checked for information on internet. I read, it is a sign of peptic ulcer or cancer. The odd colour is because of blood presence in the stool”. Shyam was horrified. He could not believe his ears. He tried but could not stop his tears from rolling down. Deepa continued to sob. He could she her lips moving but could not hear her.

The word itself pronounces Bliss. As a child we loved it, even today we love to cherish each moment of it.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The scenario changes drastically when, as a mother we have to entertain our kids during their vacations.<br />
<br />
Tell me; in a day how many times did you scold your child? I am sure during vacation it is more than usual. Why? You know the answer. Don’t you! Daily routine goes haphazard, their demands sounds annoying. But, who is to blame?</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div>When we were kids our society was family centric. Joint family was more common and bonding with cousins was also strong. Time use to fly then. Today, most of us have nuclear family. It is “hum do hamara ek”. Let’s see how are we handling the situation? <br />

Travelling in a Mumbai local, on a working day, during wee hours is much of an impossible task for a novice. But, I was fortunate to be heading in opposite direction of the rush.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Suburban, away from city greeted me; mountains, river, small house, barren land. Life is simple, I thought. It was then I overheard a conversation of two women. One of the woman’s daughter was 3 yrs old. Who managed routine on her own with help of her grandfather, while her mother went to work. But, this morning she was worried. Her daughter’s school teacher had scolded her because of which she didn’t want to go to school. The other woman’s son was 7 months, taken care by her in-laws. Work-Home- Child care and development, though almost impossible, a mother can manage.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the same time a cutie pie came and seated in front of me with his mother. She was well dressed, had used light make-up as well. He was 1 ½ year old. His mom was busy grabbing her baggage for majority of the time. Once settled she got lost in her thoughts, while I played with her son. Next to her came a lady with her daughter who must be around 3 yrs old. She and her daughter depicted rural India. Her daughter was made comfortable on her lap throughout the journey, even though there were enough vacant seats. Both of them had regular conversation and they laughed at intervals. Both mothers next to each other were a perfect contrast with regards to their appearance and behavior with their child.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My journey with these four mothers compelled me to think. Is a woman capable of all the responsibilities? In this demanding world managing work, home and child, is it possible? Does she do justice to her child?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I firmly believe, whichever the choice be (working mother or homemaker) making a decision is difficult. There is a woman in her showing bright future in corporate world, at the time there is a mother in her afraid of weakening the bond with her child. There is ambition on one hand and love on other. I wish every woman finds a fine balance. Every mother nurtures a pure soul. Be it home or home and work, she and her child shares a strong loving bond. And she never loses her real identity.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cheers to Motherhood!!!</span></div>Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10956097340601219275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073930898311709619.post-18008069824083093142010-12-13T14:55:00.000+05:302016-07-15T22:28:53.727+05:30Childhood!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
