Life’s Daily Lessons

Today i read something every thought provoking in the paper ,so i thought i

should share it with you:-

kids

Remember:-

.  Learn from one and all.-Learning has no limits.We are born to learn from

everyone in our lives-parents ,adults ,children,our maids and helpers even

our pets.

.  Everybody knows something.-Nobody knows everything but everybody

knows something.We should cultivate a habit to learn from everybody and

add value to our lives.To this i would add…Our dog nikki when given any

thing to eat will always sit down and enjoy her food,unlike many of us

who do ultitasking while eating.I have learnt to sit and enjoy my meals.

.  Just like i wrote above ….. Keep your learning options open.-There are

opportunities galore,only if one keeps learning options open  and is ready

to learn or at least try.

These are your PEARLS OF WISDOM. never feel proud or feel small learning

something good from any one.

Chocolate Balls

Hi mums,

Today i am starting a new column.”Recipes”.

Growing up nowadays is not an easy task.With new inventions, researches

and new technologies we like our kids to become little Einstein.-and why not..?

I once had a mum of a little girl who came for the parent\teacher meeting and

said,”ma’am i’d like to tell you something-my little girl is an Einstein.She can

operate all the gizmos i have.”may be she was right.But you know what

the little girl liked to do the most ……she liked to run around ,play,listen to

stories.What i am trying to tell you is let your children grow up by exploring

and experiencing things around them. Let their  childhood be fun and messy-

that doesn’t mean you don’t discipline them.Be there for them.Give them a good

family environment remember they learn the most from you- not the many

classes they go to.Give them good sanskars-values and make them good

and caring  human beings.Let them enjoy there child hood and learn along .

Cooking is something kids really enjoy.They watch you toss up there favorite

dish in a minute.They love to feel the different textures ,tastes and gadgets.

Cooking classes are becoming a rave.So lets start our own.You must share recipes you have.

This one recipe Chocolate Balls is my favorite. My son made them in school

when he was 5.Its always been a super hit with kids.So try them.12
