Time to Bring a Change in Perception!

Mothermag Article

 

From the article:

“I try to incorporate all of the magic and fundamentals that my parents lovingly ingrained. My mom and dad were also epic hosts and the most generous humans. If friends of my parents stopped by the house unexpectedly, we learned to greet them with a warm welcome, take their coats, and offer them something to drink. My parents had a special knack for entertaining on the fly. They’d find things in the pantry—like a tin of smoked oysters, some olives and crackers—and turn it into something so elegant. Their innate generosity and hospitality have had such an impact on me, something I definitely want to pass down to my daughters.

 The moral of my story is that you must always advocate for yourself. You know yourself better than anyone.”

(I was also a full-time private chef when we first started Lady & Larder). Now I put my health first—sleep and my vitamin protocol, workouts, and time with my family. Every single day we get is precious. It’s sort of an obvious truth that we all forget. None of us know how many days we get.”

Grazing Board, Lamp Shade and Wall Routine

QR Code for wall Routine exercise 

How about these images to remind my mind about things to do and projects to take up - project to make grazing board and a similar looking lamp shade. 

A grazing board is a beautifully arranged platter filled with a variety of bite-sized foods such as cheeses, cured meats, fruits, nuts, crackers, dips, and other small snacks. It is designed for casual, communal eating, allowing people to sample different flavors and textures in a visually appealing way.

Why is it made or used?

1. Entertainment & Socializing – Perfect for gatherings, parties, and events where guests can snack at their own pace.

2. Variety & Balance, Aesthetic Appeal, Ease & Convenience

 Btw, I came across the topic of grazing board from this link and about the sister duo who started a biz called Lady and Larder which makes gazing boards. Sadly, Boo Simms one of the sister in the biz venture tragically passed away during an operation. 

Look around.  Happiness is trying to catch you.

Tap Your Potential

 This poster is just to remind me to revisit Insta page and follow this routine. I have the habit of sharing many insta reels to my Whatsapp. Now, that the number of shares are too high, I loose track of what is shared and why I shared. 

So, here's the plan. 

I edit the pic to include the QR Code
Next, I take a print of it. 

After print out, I segregate the posters based on the topic. Hope I revisit these posters. 

Tribute to the Soldier!

Listening to this, I was wondering about the men who are guarding our frontiers. Out of the people who go on the frontier or in areas of strife, few unlucky ones will only return in a casket. 

It's sad to think of the perils of their profession! 

After listening to this, I wish someone come will come with similar rhymes for the hero's who are far away from home!

Can you Do Something About Drowning Accidents in Kerala

Recurring Tragedy - Death by Drowning 

I just came across this news on Facebook. What a sad day for many family members, friends and people who knew these people. In Kerala, we keep hearing of such death. Recently during Xmas time, a boy was lost in Kovalam beach. Another in St Andrews beach! 

All these makes us to ask questions - How can we avert or reduce the chances of drowning? What's the way out?

Well, I've been parading this concept for a long time! What is it? 

When a student comes to the age when he has to appear for 10th class, parents, teachers, school folks, neighbors will all ask only one questions! How is his preparation for the 10th class? This often makes parents too panicked about the 10th class debacle. All that would matter to the entire state is about 10th class. 

I wonder why this is relevant, given that time has changed, and anyone with a dream to become a doctor or engineering can still opt for the same. It was not the case when I had passed 10th class. 

What if the people ask a better question to a student who is studying for 10th?


- Did you learn swimming? How long can you stay in the water?
- Do you know to do CPR? 
- How to help a person who is chocking with food struck on the windpipe?
- Do you clear the road in front of your house and keep the locality clean?
- How many pushups or squat do you do?

- Do you do suryanamaskar or do breathing exercise?
- 

Here's another thing for leaders and politicians in Kerala can do.

One thing about Kerala is that we have many rivers, lakes, backwaters and that's a big opportunity for anyone to learn swimming or get swimming lessons 

So, what if we become the first state that all our citizens know to swim. Imagine, such a campaign that gives everyone the chance to learn swimming. So, just like many years agon there was a big collective mission to teach everyone to read and write. So, now it's time to renew a new oath to teach all how to swim, at least learn to float in the water. 


Imgine such an initative really work`

1. We'll be saving many, many lives 
2. People will get more healthy ( Less diabetics )
3. Activity and interest in swimming, demand for swimming pools, etc.
