Zindagi Everyday

I assume almost every Indian has travelled in our indian railway trains atleast once. I travel atleast 2 times in a year to visit my native place and that too night travel. In so  many years of my journey, I have come across different varieties of sound, snores, smells and god knows what. Seriously, its like a mini zoo in the night. The people looks so modern, fashionable, geeks, and so many different personalities...but as soon as people start sleeping , everyone is in the same league....some kind of race against each other. The race between who snores louder :D .Somewhere its a mini train in itself whistling and running, while at some other berth(seat) its like a aeroplane or helicopter flying, somewhere else its kind of roaring...Variety of sounds see !!
And along with that comes the different yucky farts, and I woke up with something bothering my nose...grrrr....Now the combinations of SNORES and FARTS really make it difficult to sleep in even 2nd AC compartment of trains, I wish if I had travelled in a sleeper class with all windows open...atleast there would have been a fresh air to breathe in. Anyways, by the time its morning around 5 am, the long queues to washrooms make it impossible to go back to sleep again,  more worse don't even think of peeing in those early hours where your turn may never come ..phew....
At the end the train arrives at my station, and instead of having a nice comfortable seating arrangement I end up all sleepy and tired to my mom's home, thanks to all those noises, and smellssss.

Well this post is totally about my hobby of 'Photography'. I love to click, earlier used the cell phones, and now happy with my camera (read DSLR) . Now the question is if i love to click, then where is the space for dilemma.
Actually my dilemma lies in me. I am too shy to take my gear out at any public place. The following eyes of people in vicinity make me cringe a bit from inside,in other words I feel self conscious whenever I am around people. There is a war in my head 'whether to take the camera with me or leave it at home' . My love for street photography and portraits are suffering. Wondering how people go bindass and click, and I couldn't convince myself to stay calm.
May be one reason for being hesitant is I don't go alone to click. Mostly family trips are used as an opportunity to do some clicking. And every time I end up like a coolie, with baby bag on one shoulder and camera bag on the other.....which is  quite a handful for my medium frame.
Phew....as said 'This too shall pass', looking forward to the day when I will have to carry just me and my camera bag, offering my camera to be handy.

My little girl is always dressed up with woolen dresses, jackets, pajamas, caps, inners, pullovers,and what not to protect her from winters. Today is also the normal winter day, and my kid is adamant to wear her Jeans , standing without her pajamas. So for a change , instead of saying a big flat NO to her, I picked up the jeans and gave it to her. Watching her joy, her enthusiasm to wear it, her efforts to put it on...everything just made me ask a question to myself that why I always have to say NO for even little things which somehow are making her independent in some or other ways. Followed with a guilt of saying NO to her every time, accompanied with her screams, and cries, her Irritation and her tears....such small petty things are not precious than  my kid.
Hoping to say more of yes, along with more of patience and time to my kid is the new approach of myself to the motherhood !!

Well, well, well, after a long gap with a relaxing home tour, finally I am back and remembered to hop on to my blog. As its kind of my ritual to change the template, look and feel of my blog whenever I update it after a long gap, so today I got it changed. Its kind of boring to see the same things all time ....yeah a typical gemini trait to change the routine stuffs :) But blogger is getting me bored with its all so routine templates, as I have only a few favorites one. Need to figure out some real cool and fascinating ones to hold up with my geminism !!
Coming back to the post, its a new year 2016, with already one wicket( read one month) of January down. Happy new year (i know its a belated one) my dear blog and all the lovely people who spend their time to land here.
Well this year is also nothing different than the previous one to me. Still caught up in the same routine, same dilemmas. I thought of making this year a happening one, be it with my career, my hobby, my kid, my little family, my friends, and whatever surrounds me. But,I guess this year is trying to slow down my plans, firstly kid down with viral fever, secondly myself down with the same, thirdly getting some wisdom this year..yeah my wisdom tooth started showing painfully in my mouth, landing me up to my oh not so favorite dentist.....and and and the latest one numbered four ended up with the stupid and reckless migraine.....Argh this is such a sickening start to a year, don't you think so? But but but, finally coping up with each blow, I am here to sum up the startup summary of the year :D :D

Though the start hasn't been great, still I had a great relaxing time with kid at my mom's place. We both are back with a new enthusiasm in our lives. My kids enthu has now started showing up in terms of school, homework, play, stories, dancing and singing, and mine lies in catching up with hers :D
I guess that's what all the mommies out there are bound to do. As I am writing here, my one eye is glued to the clock to match up with the time kid arrives home. Before she comes needs to end  up with lunch, bath, and laptop ......yeah she is a big sucker of any device which plays youtube videos, and the bigger the better is her choice ...phew...I pity my lappy., already my new....just 3 days old phone suffered a screen damage in her hands, thankfully the screen didn't come out and my phone continued functioning well until I couldn't send it for repair....and yeah a big thanks to the damage insurance :P
As kid has started commuting to school in the school van, I am a bit relaxed to catchup with her timings, a good 30 minutes time save :D
The second month, the current batting wicket is on the strike, lets see how many sixes, and boundaries are on the way, along with some chances of half centuries too :P
