#SayYesToTheWorld Traveling With Kids, It is Easier Than You Think

By Shipra Trivedi
After having a kid in our life, we husband-wife were completely consumed in our parenting duties. Those initial days were very busy and hectic. I was trying to balance both, my work and an infant at home. Although my mother-in-law was with us to look after our few months old son, we both hardly had any free time. I once read that the best way to spell love is “T.I.M.E”. And we both were drained on this front. I knew it was a usual phase that every couple goes through after becoming parents, however, we both needed a break from our usual life.

We Planned The Perfect Getaway 
Then one day I read a post on traveling and reading this, I couldn't stop myself from forwarding this to my dear husband. The post was promoting new parents to go on vacations with small kids. As per the post, when kids are small and yet to join the school, this is the best time to explore the world with them. Realizing the fact, my husband planned a week-long travel but this time we were not alone. Our one and half year old boy was with us. Our plans and travel were completely focused on our toddler. Traveling with a toddler can be very intimidating. You never really know how he/she would react once you are out there (will they cry or shout or poop or throw up?). Thank God, we went ahead and booked our flight tickets. All my worries and apprehensions got busted after this trip. 

Monsoon Capital of India “Pune”
During that travel, we, husband-wife, got a chance to refresh our family and personal lives with enjoying a full week's vacation in Monsoon capital of India “Pune”. We went to a family friend's place there, and the first time I realized that a bit of TLC is needed in every relationship to keep it harmonious. Scientist says humans are pre-programmed to love green spaces of nature. There is something really special about being in nature; something magical that calms the depths of our souls like nothing else. Really, with so much greenery and good weather, our family Pune visit was awesomely wonderful. Roaming around in drizzling rain and enjoying the best of nature’s presence along with good friends, what can be better than that? Our visit included many places around Pune including beautiful Lavasa and Khandala.

Traveling Is Definitely the Best Time To Bond.
The best part of this exploration trek was my son's gleeful behavior throughout the trip. We normally feel young children may not remember the new things they discover during a trip but they do. Traveling teaches young kids many new things. They learn ways of the world. They learn how to be adaptable and they learn how to express themselves better. To my surprise, my toddler loved every bit of this travel. He was fine when we air traveled. He was absolutely cheery when we road traveled and he was even more elated when we walked in the rain of Lavasa. Traveling provides one of the best ways to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life. And during our Pune travel, we also got ample of time to give to our boy. I now feel traveling is definitely the best time to bond.

#SayYesToTheWorld With Kids 
I know, with kids comes a lot of exceptions and tough times, especially when you are at a new place. Howbeit, I feel a good planning can make your vacation an absolute bliss with the company of kids. Being open-minded in taking my toddler to new places, helped me realize that kids can be awesome vacation partners and a world travelers too. Better than grownups, kids express more openness for new people, new culture, and new surroundings. I have traveled many places with my young boy and all our trips were very pleasant. So, whether you decide a weekend getaway (which is what we planned), a short out-of-town trip or an adventure travel, please consider bringing your child or children with you. Don’t wait out until they are older. Moments like these could pass you by, so cherish it while you can. #SayYesToTheWorld and explore new places with your kids.

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

By Shipra Trivedi
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,

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

By Shipra Trivedi
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

My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

By Shipra Trivedi
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.
