Prerna is sad about these specs She is sad, but when I said her to smile for a picture, this is the best she can done. Yes, I'm laughing now for seeing such cute face. But she was sad for not letting her cut open these paper glasses from a sheet. There was a paper sheet where these glasses were framed out for filling colors in and cut it off. After coloring, I was cutting it off by myself and Prerna was trying to do it also by herself. And I said to her that Beta, you could tear it down. It could go waste so let me do it for you. It made her sad, when I asked her for a photo and smile, this is how she expressed her sadness behind this little smile. After that It made me think that what I done, I made her sad. I destroyed her curiosity and true happiness. I shouldn't have done this instead I should let her do that by herself. A small thought Sometimes we try to help our kids without realizing that they don't need our help that time. They just want to do the things by themsel...

A Temple on a Cart This mini temple carried by four bhagwadhari people (dressed in Saffron) into our street today. One of them was pulling this temple door to door and others are asking for some donation like new women clothes and money in the name of this cart temple. I just came from Gym that time and I waited at my doorstep for them. Once they arrived at our doorstep, I clicked this picture. They were asking the same like some money, but I signaled with my hand to move forward. Do you the see the man in the picture, does he look like a saint? No, just observe the look on his face. And there were others having the same face readings. I'm not judging them via face-readings. My point is that, anyone can create a little temple on wheels and can visit door to door for money or donation by wearing saffron dresses. Now the gods are only used for business or earning money in name of them. Isn't it insult of our gods? I don't know why people understand every saffron dress wearer ...

Prerna is playing with clay pot pieces I like this picture very much. It was taken by me in the morning just after my daughter woke up and we went to the roof for playing with these broken pieces of clay pot. We used to crush them and make a powder to mix with water and called it "Dawai, Dai, A Medicine". Yes it sounds funny. I like to play this game with daughter as it involves sand, dirt etc. It's kind of good for kids and their immunity. Heard somewhere that kids should play with sand to a good growth. In her school there is also a artificial sand pot for kids to play with. I found it also good for connecting with her. Prerna crush them with a stone or rub it on the roof. After that we mix water and let it settle or dry into the sunlight. I found it also creative for such nursery kids that helps in being creative or curious. Prerna grinding clay pot pieces A small thought What I like about this game is that there is no expensive toy involved or following any instructio...

A flock of Sheep You see the herd of sheep walking on road, this is the main way to my home in my village. A hundred of sheep came in front of me and blocked the whole road. Vehicles from both side were unable to move. I waited her for approx 10 minutes, then I could move from here. I'm posting this for pointing out one thing that why the roads and streets in India allow moving such flock of animals like sheep, goat, cow etc freely. It blocks the whole transport system and having chances of  major accidents. Sometime, when it's cows, they can hit a car, bike or the rider, and can cause serious injury. Then who will be the responsible for that. However this is not a big road, this is small road inside my village. But my concern is for all roads whether it's a small or big. I'm talking about the safety of people and animals both. So whats's the solution here, that the traffic can easily move. This is what can be done The government can't make separate road for the...

Goga Peer ki Chhadi This is a long stick, wrapped around with holy red, white little clothes and threads. At the top of this stick, there are many peacock feather attached to it. This is called a Goga Peer ki Chhadi carrying by few people travelling place to place for asking donation in form of oil, ghee, clothes or may be money. In this group, there is a person who sings devotional bhajans and another person play little musical instruments. They visited our village few days back Independence day. My wife told me that these people come every year and ask for donation in such musical way by visiting home to home in the village. When these people near our house, we were in our bedroom at first floor. We were playing with our daughter that time, and they stopped at main door.

A woman standing near a flag shop You see this stall where a woman and her kids are selling Indian flags and accessories for the kids. These accessories are supposed to wear on Independence day or before the day. I'm posting this after the independence day, but I stopped at this shop on 12th aug 2026. This flag shop carried on a bike attached to a mini lorry with a woman, her kids and her husband. I found it pity that how a little family riding on a mini cart attached to a bike selling these flag accessories. I stopped there and this woman treated me well with a professional tone. Like she was asking "sir aapko chahiye". First I bought a tricolor scarf for my daughter, then few small accessories like hair band, wrist flag, a tricolor tag, tassel hair ties etc. Prerna on Tricolor day 14th Aug 2026 And all these accessories suited well on my daughter. I was happy that I purchased few great things to make my daughter's first tricolor day celebration memorable.  All these...

A white pigeon sits on a curtain in our house These pigeons are basically living in my house. They are sitting on the curtains under the lobby just outside my room. There is a washroom along side these curtains in front of the door of my bedroom. There is only my bedroom and a washroom alongside on the roof at my home. Checkout this white pigeon who regularly visits and sits outside our bedroom. This white pigeon is more quieter and calm then blue ones. I never saw white pigeon before at anyone's house. It makes me wonder what thist means, is it a sign of good luck coming to my life? A Pigeon sits outsides the bathroom on curtain These pigeons go inside the bathroom and make nest by bringing dry grass, twigs and straw daily. My wife just wasting their hard work by withdrawing those. And I told her many time that let them make home and get a shelter provided by us. But she refused to have them a shelter inside our house as she believes pigeons shouldn't come in houses and making...
