The color green !

-

 My daughter is home for spring break.

Since I was gone for a while, ( I went to India for more than a month ) I had not really talked to her due to the time difference and all that.
She asked me what have I been up to these days since coming back.
I said, not much, I am just disgusted by the current state of affairs.
She said, have you written anything lately? I know writing makes you happy.
So, I looked through my bag of "my writing stuff" and found this "March writing prompts". I had probably gathered it from somewhere last year and forgotten all about it.
The first prompt was "the color green" .
Magic happens when I hear the word GREEN, not just when I see it, when I wear it.
Here is what I wrote about my favorite color in the whole world. 💚
Sharing the March writing prompts, feel free to use.
My favorite color is Green, it always was and will be, the color of nature.
I grew up surrounded by a lot of greenery.
No matter in which direction one looked, which window, there was the color green, in abundance.
There, which was in India, the parts where I grew up, the weather stayed the same , year long, so there was no change.
Now, everything has changed, the weather, the scene. Where once used to be only greenery, one can only see buildings and they are lucky to see a blue sky every now and then....
Nonetheless,
The color Green is what brings me solace.💚
This, the color "Green" makes me smile. In fact, I am smiling right now looking at it.
I don't know what came first, the color that brought happiness or I started wearing it to make me happy.
Doesn't matter.
Green is what makes me smile, the greenery, the trees, the nature is what makes me smile. 💚☘️
The sign even says "Love Green"💚 🙏 💚
What about you? Do you have favorite color? What makes you smile?
Happy Monday friends.
Me and my ramblings !!




I grew up looking at this view , every day.



So when this GREEN LOVE sign shows up, must get a picture.



Some of my green possessions.

No victory is too small! Celebrate them all.

Some say you should keep your victories quiet, and in Indian culture, I’ve often heard that sharing too much happiness or “bragging” can invite bad karma. But I live in the U.S. now, and not too long ago, I was listening to a podcast where the speaker said, "No victory is too small; you should celebrate them all." So, do we celebrate them quietly or share them with everyone? I mulled over this, contemplated it, and went back and forth about whether to post or not. But today, my mommy heart won. This isn't about bragging—it’s about celebrating a journey, both mine and my son’s. I want to share my joy with all of you. This year marks a huge milestone for me: 25 years of being a mom. And as I celebrated this milestone in different ways, my firstborn—the one who made me a mom 25 years ago—graduated from law school in the spring and has now successfully passed the bar exam on his first try! Yay for him. And I might add—he’s the first lawyer in our family. Some might say...

My self care journey - Oxygen mask.

  “In the event of a sudden drop in pressure, an oxygen mask will drop from above. Secure your own mask first before assisting others.” The first time I heard this, I was flying for the first time in my life on an international flight from Mumbai to Atlanta via London. I was so excited to go to America on my own that I did not really pay that much attention to this routine preflight announcement. Since I had flown to America, it also meant flying back, again, several times to go home. I heard the same announcement during all those trips but at that point, they were still some words, their true meaning still had not registered.  Then came another first time of my life, this time it was flying with my first born, for the first time. By this time, I was not as excited about flying, the novelty had completely worn off. Now I am only concerned about the safety of my baby, he is sitting in my lap, one year old. Then they make the above preflight announcement, in several diffe...

An Abundance of Flowers !

  An Abundance of Flowers It’s   one of the writing prompts for April. Spring arrives , bringing with it an abundance of flowers. It’s   finally here in the Northern Hemisphere, and that means a world bursting into bloom. I grew up in a tropical country where there was no distinct fall, and therefore, no spring.  Everything stayed green throughout the year.  But now, living far above the tropics, I experience the beauty of seasonal change.  With fall comes the shedding of leaves, and spring brings a wave of colors. The first to bloom around here are the daffodils .  I had planted a few bulbs a few years ago  and happy to say that they have multiplied .            Before moving to the U.S., I had never seen a daffodil. There’s something about them that I can’t quite put into words, but their sight always fills me with hope and happiness.  Some years, we’ve had snow on the ground, and yet, these bright y...
