secret santa story

When I entered the large building my face was stone cold. I tried to stay still but I kept biting my lip till I tasted blood. I was so nervous I could barely talk. I’ve been shifting really often and I’ve been moving allot. When I entered the sunny room shyness crawled up my throat. I was standing in front of the whole class. There were 19 students with a question mark on their face. Well at least what I had thought hadn’t happened. I thought everyone was going to whisper to each other and laugh at me. But here came the bad part. The teacher asked to introduce myself. Everyone looked at me with such wide eyes. I started to struggle uncomfortably. Then I said hello my name is Sparsh Jain in a dim voice. I have come from Dubai I said in another dim voice. Then the teacher asked me to sit on one of the desks in front of the white board. There were only 2 people in my group. I whispered to them psssssssssss hey what’s the teacher’s name. Then the tall guy (that’s you Trevor) replied her na...

exclusive breastfeeding journey

I wrote this post to encourage a mom when my daughter was 3.5 months. Today she is nearing 2 years and I am so proud to breastfeed her till now even after having my share of all the taunts around. I totally understand for those just have a medical condition of not able to feed the baby but if everything is just normal with you then please don't choose formula or for that matter animal milk to your baby please at least till 1 year.  I have a 3.5 month old little daughter too. I had my journey started with formula too. In hospital, at home, I had my shares of downs,fights too because of formula issue with my mother in law, till today, whenever she holds my baby girl, first thing she will say to her is "tumhara pet to bharta Nahi hoga with your mumma's milk" I have started to ignore everything she says regarding it. People say and will keep saying to give formula to the babies, everyone wants those chubby cheeks baby like ads, ask them what kind of baby they had, somehow...

Leftover Rice Recipes- Khichdi cutlets

Hello, What do you do if you have leftover rice or khichdi, I always love experimenting with flavours and textures in kitchen, so one day when we had ample of khichdi left, I didn't feel like giving it away or throw.. I despise throwing away good food, so I decided to make something out of it, I started with making paranthas out of it initially but then my husband didn't enjoy them as much, so to give it a new taste. So here goes the simple recipe of khichdi cutlets for all of you to try with your babies and baby's father who are no less than a baby: 1 bowl of leftover Khichdi 1 bowl of mixed parboiled veggies (beans,carrots,peas,lauki) 1-2 green chillies 1/2 cup of boiled mashed potatoes (optional) as I already had potatoes in my khichdi 1/2 cup of grated paneer (it enhances it proteins content) 1/2 cup of chopped coriander leaves Add all spices to give it a nice flavour, I usually add chat masala, kitchen king masala, roasted cumin powder, black salt, bit of red c...
