The Child City Magazine, an amazing book for curious minds

I love reading. But it’s not like that I always liked it. I am a late blooming book lover and started it thoroughly after I started working.  Now I do sensible reading and keep some hours of my day for reading only. I am also trying to make my 3-year-old a book lover and from now only. I get a lot of books for him and read them for him. As of now, most of the books are rhymes or story books because I feel, pictures and visuals can explain things in more cleaner and reasonable way. But my long term aim is to grow his interest towards books.

During my childhood, I had not had this luxury. My simple, common, middle-class parents, used to value course books more than the other kids' book. They wanted me to focus on my studies and books like History and Geography. Although I loved reading comics and other kids' books in my childhood, along with that, I found my big interest in history books as well. Thanks to them, I have a great understanding of Indian history. Howbeit, the summer vacation used to be different. We used to go to our village and for keeping their daughters entertained there, my father used to buy us many kids books. Nandan, Champak, Baal Hans, Panch Tantra Stories and comics as well.  Slowly I grew up and stopped reading such books as we also stopped going anywhere in vacations. The reason was the pressure of studies and my spirit of securing my rank in class.

Any ways, there is always something mesmerizing about childhood and we all love our childhood span the most. And when it comes to childhood books, we all get to remember the colorful and cartoon characters full books that used to be so interesting. Isn’t it?
Recently, I came across one such book that made me nostalgic. It is a kid magazine “The Child City”. I got it for winning a contest. From the cover page only, I had the feel of my childhood when I used to be crazy about such books. It was the first issue of this book that was sent to me and as I received it, we both, I and my husband, immediately got hooked on it. By the time I was making tea for him, my husband read the magazine. And then I looked through its content and concept. I must say I am impressed.

The Child City is a monthly child magazine that is available for the subscription now. The book has everything that can keep young minds consumed and entertained. The book is created with the aim of developing a fun filled way of cultivating reading habits in kids. The book also provides knowledge about the amazing things happening across the globe. Every issue of the book comes with stories and a few activities to try on. In every issue, readers will meet a beautiful group of kids called “Curious Squad” who are just like the other kids; curious, inquisitive and doers.  I loved reading their story and realized that “Curious Squad” can really inspire other kids for good work. The printing of the books is awesome. The illustrations, images, and designs are just so appropriate for kids.  There is another section in the book called “ROFL”.  They are jokes and funny riddles. Let me ask you one that I read there “Why did the teacher wear sunglasses?” No idea? Let me tell you then because her class was so bright 😃 . 



I would recommend this books for young kids who love to explore the world and are curious about trying new things. The books is a beautiful compilation of stories, GK notes, inspirational stories and fun filled activities. And as I said my favorite is “ROFL”. Good books always give the much-needed wisdom and peace of mind to everyone. And this holds true for kids as well. Good, inspirational and referable books can shape our kids in a positive way. The child City is one such book or magazine that can make our smart kids even smarter. Go for it.

Worshiping Krishna.. वसुदॆव सुतं दॆवं कंस चाणूर मर्दनम्..

Shri Krishna Ashtakam is a worshiping prayer devoted to Lord  Krishna praising his powers and glory. Ashtakam means a prayer which contains eight hymns(slokas). Each hymn or verse is composed of four phrases, each describing one quality or great acts of Sri Krishna. And, each sloka is composed in two lines. It is believed that krishnashtakam lyrics possess great powers. Here is the English translation of this holy verse : वसुदॆव सुतं दॆवं कंस चाणूर मर्दनम् । दॆवकी परमानन्दं कृष्णं वन्दॆ जगद्गुरुम् ॥1॥ Vasudeva Sutam Devam Kansa Chanura Mardanam... Devaki Paramanandam Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum.. I pay my tribute to the teacher of this world Krishna, who is the son of Vasudev, who killed Kansa and Chanura and who is the source of great joy to Devaki. अतसी पुष्प सङ्काशं हार नूपुर शॊभितम् ।रत्न कङ्कण कॆयूरं कृष्णं वन्दॆ जगद्गुरुम् ॥ |2| Atasi Pushpa Sankasham Hara Nupura Shobhitam..Ratna Kankana Keyuram Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum... I salute to the teacher of this world Krishna,

My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

As we entered 2020, through this post I am trying to contemplate the coolest, most daring, and most significant feats of my life during the last decade. Now the more I regress my memory, the more I feel there are two types of achievements or accomplishments that I can ponder upon; Visible and Invisible. Visible ones are those that I can count on my finger like a parrot and others can nod also. I got specs on, married to a not-so-romantic man, produced a baby, started writing and added good 17 kgs in my body volume (I was 50 in 2011). However, there are many invisible accomplishments too that either I know silently or very few can assert. From 2011 to 2019, Who am I now From a coy soul to now an outspoken woman, the trek was not easy. I achieved it. From being a no-makeup girl to now a lipstick swatches observer, the transition was tough. But it happened. And from being a sweet hater to now a sweet lover, the change was mysterious yet occurred. And now I can die for Gulab Jamuns.

#TheWomanThatIAm #RRxMM I am not the woman who..

I am not the mother who.. I am not the mother who stayed longer with her newborn, I resumed office when he was barely 2 months old. I am not the mother who witnessed each of my kid's milestones, I got to know them when being told. I am not the mother who could tell breastfeeding stories, my child is a formula-fed gold. I am not the mother who keeps the house spotless, I let my son scatter toys and go overbold. I am not the mother who manages a detailed list for parenting chores, I often keep my to-dos on hold. I am not the mother whom people admire, I hear people calling me selfish and cold. ALSO I am a doting mother who tries to juggle between family and work every other minute.  I am a mother who watches silly cartoons with my boy.  I am a mother who repeatedly tells the same story every night.  I am a mother who cooks my son's favorite food every week.  And I am also a mother who is the closest person in my son's life! I am not the wife wh
