The skill of saying 'No' - Uncovered.

Image
    Do you feel like you're in an endless struggle of egos with your little one, that you're not getting the right response from them, that you keep losing your cool and lashing out or just giving in to their demands, and that your relationship with them is best described as one filled with conflicts and confrontations? If most of your interaction with your child is negative and disciplinary, your connection with them may suffer. Overusing the word 'No' might take you down this road. "No" is a powerful word that is easy to utter and quick on the lips. Your child will frequently hear you use this term, and you will listen to it from your child. A parent must learn to say "no" to a kid so the youngster can subsequently say "no" to himself. Delaying gratification is difficult for all children and some adults. "I want it now,", especially in toddlers, is a motivating need. Accepting "no" from others is a prerequisite...

A new chapter - Bhuj (Part 1)

Vacations are  mainly to relax and get away from the rut. We travel to see and try new things and experience a different way  of living . Vacationing in Bhuj was really fun and was always a sought-after break.   But waking up to the reality of spending our entire life in Bhuj, was something which we had never thought of. Leaving a land of dreams, aspirations, good quality life, opportunities and much more, had indeed brought our lives to a standstill. We, literally had no idea as to what we would do in this small, desolate and traditional town. The worst part was that we couldn't even raise our voices against such a decision as we had no say nor were we asked.  A verdict had been passed and we were supposed to adhere to it. There is a turning point in everyone's life, because every journey has it's end.  The  turning point,  in the process of growing up is, when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt. It's al...

Parental Control

Parental Control From a long time now, I have been finding a feature called ‘Parental Control’ on various social media platforms, websites and digital viewing channels. What is this ‘Parental Control’? Any guesses? Why guess? You know it right! Well according to our favorite Wikipedia, ‘Parental controls’ are features which may be included in digital television services, computer and video games, mobile devices and software that allow parents to restrict the access of content to their children. These controls were created to assist parents in their ability to restrict certain content view able by their children. This may be because of the content they deem inappropriate for their age, maturity level or feel is aimed more at an adult audience. Which is undoubtedly true. Parental controls fall into roughly four categories: • Content Filters, which limit access to age inappropriate content. • Usage Controls, which constrain the usage of these devices such as placing time-limits o...

The beginning

Hi all. Life is very amazing at times. One cannot imagine what to expect from it. Sounds familiar right! But it's true. Atleast I had not expected certain events in my life, you know certain nasty and annoying twists and turns which compel you to sit down for a while and think - WHY ME? On really sitting down, on my favourite sofa, with a cup of tea and a beautiful evening outside my home, some realisations as to my journey of life dawned upon me. The dreams of having a perfect life laughed in my face.  Instantly I thought of my mother's preaching.  She always says that - All of us have to bear the consequences of our own Karma. Karma doesn't leave anyone. All your karma are judged, analysed and taken to action in this life only. There is nothing after death.  Well, on re thinking it's not as bad as you think. I will share my thoughts and experiences bit by bit. Interesting encounters they are  - all of them. I  hope you all will enjoy it and m...

Mindful(mess) !!

Hi! Greetings for the day! During the past few years, I had been bugged by lot of questions in my life.  Questions like -  What the hell is happening in my life? What am I supposed to do in a particular situation? What do people expect out of me and what are my expectations from them? Are those expectations - on either side - been fulfilled? Do I have any control over my expressions (feelings), responses, reactions and anger? Why do I always feel that I am answerable to someone around me? Does anybody really want to listen to me? Am I doing what I like to do? Why am I doing the things that I am doing?Why am I always being advised for the most silliest thing on earth? Am I in control of my life? Am I ' ME '? -  NO . Then WHO AM I? Ufffff!!! So many questions😟😠 Relate to them? A few of them? Everyone faces one or the other of the above questions. There may be many more. A human mind is always stuffed with such questions. A mindful of questions!! And a fea...
