Women Lines

It matters to me!

At times I find being a woman is not an easy job and definitely not to mention to be an Ideal women. I wonder where those ideal women resides who perform all roles of being a wife, a mother, an employee, a daughter and a DIL, sister, friend and so many not to mention , with perfection. Will really love to meet one if she really exists in today’s  complex world!

World in which we are living today is though a blessing for today’s women. I am not talking about women liberation , or equal right distribution for women in our society. I want to focus on the multitudes of spheres in one life where women has to focus and work upon. As technology is making our life easy we are having other constraints to manage our life in an orderly fashion. In whole world around women issues start from the talk about being financially independent, she studies hard, builds a space for herself in society and gets married and becomes responsible for the welfare of the new family she has entered.Then starts her life managing herself, her office, her husband, her family and going forward kids come in picture.

Its matter of justifying all roles together.As an ideal women she should be a great cook who can prepare awesome lunch boxes, dinner and snacks for the family. As an employee she should be giving her best performance in office, prepare all reports timely, prepare excellent presentations and above all reply to all her mails…..wink wink:)! As a DIL  she should be taking care of her in laws, respect them , follow all family rituals, fasts, attend all function and entertain all guests with perfection. As a mother she should be always playful, ready for arguments, should always listen to her kid  and spend quality time with him.Then as a friend she should spend take out time for her friend, go for outings, shopping, movie time, invite for dinners, and much more. And mind you all roles have to be delivered in 24 hrs duration.

Hey , I forgot to mention role of being herself. As an individual she should be spending time with herself, take care of her health, body, exercise, eat healthy food, watch her favourite shows and movie, meditate, go to spas and lots more.

Is this job easy?I wonder!

But I enjoy being women.There is so much to do. Let’s not focus on ideal clause for being a women then you wont be under stress and enjoy your womanhood more. Its all about time management which we learn slowly by practise. Its also about taking one step at a time and multitasking those steps together. Balancing can only be achieved with a calmer mind so every women on this earth should exercise and meditate to discover herself. Think of at least 15 mins my time in whole day schedule where u do something for just your own happiness and I think it can do wonders in any women life.

I strongly believe that any family’s happiness lies in the happiness if the lady of the house. If she is not happy, unwell, frustrated then side effects start appearing on whole family. If we love our family then we have to take care of ourselves and start trying to find ways  to make ourselves happy.

So cheer up my fellow women, don’t stress yourself to be an ideal women. Have a vision for yourself and multitask allyour roles with perfection!

Its sounds strange that why I am announcing to whole world that I am a Vegetarian and Non-Alcoholic person!  

“Oh you don’t take alcohol, you don’t eat meat…aye how you survive in this world la!” ….these reactions have become part of my life now, particularly while I am staying in Singapore-the world’s most happening place known for its seafood and nightlife.  I am so happy that people around me have started accepting that it is possible to survive in this world without eating meat and without taking a drop of alcohol. I don’t want to sound like a preacher who talks about the harms which we do to our body while practicing those habits. I just want to share with all my readers that it’s fantastic to be a vegetarian and non alcoholic person. I really mean it, it feels great and I feel so nice about it.

After being questioned every time I thought of knowing why the prevalence of intake of alcohol is rising among females. I asked my Google uncle and he reported that-

Alcohol is a depressant drug-not a stimulant as many people think. Alcohol slows down activity in the central nervous system, which means it slows down the messages going between the brain and the body.

In small quantities, depressants such as alcohol cause people to become relaxed and lower their inhibitions. They feel more confident and often act in a more extroverted manner. It is the latest thing in town – to chill out after work in the pub. Many young women in have picked up on this new way to socialize. Kept in control, the occasional alcoholic drink will not hurt. But, the unfortunate thing is that alcohol is addictive and, many young women indulge in frequent bouts of binge drinking to keep up with their peers, just to fit in with the crowd or drown away their fears and sorrows.

In nutshell women drink to show that they are part of the crowd and also to forget their sorrows. As when they intake alcohol they feel relaxed and confident. I question that why we don’t emphasize in searching other options to enhance our confidence and feel relaxed. I don’t have to elaborate on the harm to our health done after intake of alcohol. I suggest that it’s a beautiful life given to us by God and why we spoil it by intake of alcohol. I consider soul as a temple and if I intake something which makes me forget who am I, I am certainly not interested to intake. We should strive for that confidence and happiness with all our  sorrows and bad experiences without intake of single drop of alcohol.

To drink or not to drink, choice is yours….but why not we make such choice which helps us improving upon us for we love our family, or not?

Digital frame is a wonderful innovative gift by technology to us. It is a fantabulous product and a must buy for every family!

MEMORIES

Keep photos and videos of your loved ones close, easily select photos, slideshow, videos, listen to recorded voices in a go. Snaps are memories forever and everybody loves to keep these bundles of memories with utmost care.

When we stay alone far from our place we belong, it becomes challenging at times to build that emotional bonding between your kids and your own people, as they seldom meet them.Then this frame can help you to keep reviving your kid’s memories and help him to remember about their near and dear ones . Kids love to be photographed and when they keep on seeing their childhood photographs and the way they were in their childhood they feel very good about it. It helps to build their emotional quotient and self esteem too.

For families also it’s a good thing to have a look occasionally on the snaps of different periods of their life. It strengthens the bonding between the family members by cherishing those moments of laughter and fun together. But of course you have to take out time for it!

Digital photo frames are common in 7 inch to 12 inch sizes. Most digital photo frames display the photos as a slideshow and usually with an adjustable time interval. They also can send photos to the  printer.Others support additional multimedia content, including movie clips recorded in a digital camera movie mode,MP3 audio.

Certain frames can load pictures over the Internet also from RSS feeds, photosharing  sites such as Picasa and frome-mail. Such networked models usually support wireless  connections.Built-in speakers are common for playing video content with sound, and many frames come with remote controls.

A digital frame provides the same emotion-rich experience as a traditional photo album without handling and without occupying the computer or the TV set. Eye-catching in the room, it is also a easy way to show off pictures to visitors. It provides an immediate way of sharing photos.As prices for digital frames are falling sharply and innovative features such as transferring photographs instantly in your parents wireless digital frame while you are somewhere else, is making this gadget a must buy for every family!

Kids always look for connection. They never want to be alone and it will really help them grow in a better way if they are well connected with their family members. These activities which I came across while surfing net and want to share with all those parents who really want to bring a positive difference in their kids life.-

1.CONNECTING WITH OTHERS-

Decorate a jar with coloured paper. Write “LUCKY US” on the outside. Once a week ask each family member write one positive sentence about another member of the family. Then place the slips in the jar. When you ask your child to write then first discuss with him thta whats special about him. Then what he likes most in his grandparents, parents.

At the end of the month open the jar and read what each person has written. There will be joy in whole family. Very exciting activity indeed!

2.EXPRESS YOURSELF NICELY-

This activity can be planned as per choice. You can do it daily, weekly as you wish. Make it a ritual for whole family that at the end of the each day everybody has to say something nice about each other. May be like “I liked the way you helped your grandmother” . When you speak these words then kids learn how to express their positive feelings for each other.

Family activities are very important for the all round development of any child. As a family we can plan so many activities where every member is involved and the resulted experience is fun time for every member of the family. Here are two activities which will definitely be fun and educational for everybody in the family-

1.CHOICES ABOUT TV TIMING-

As a family decide how many hours a day you will watch TV. Chart out a TV Schedule and read aloud with your child and share your opinion with your child that what you like in that show. Pick shows to watch and circle them. Go on a TV Diet for a week. If you are watching TV for hours a day cut back some hours initially and then with every week keep reducing more. Fill the extra time with outdoor activities, family fun. game time, exercise time and finishing house chores together.

2. WHATS MY FAVOURITE-

In a family every  member is an individual. He is having his own choices, favourite activities, food, movie. Sometimes we can take out out time for this activity  where every member of the family will get a chance to  share about his favourite things. You can create a list of  things which your child can ask other members of the family and later he can share about his favourite things. This can be a fantastic activity to know more about each member of the family.

Have a happy family time!
