My health conscious husband has a new morning ritual these days .. he makes his own health drink. Few badam, pista, akhrot is grounded in the mixie jar. This mixture with a pinch of turmeric gets added to a cup of milk. He drinks this leisurely sitting with the newspaper.

One morning  I saw this mixie jar being thrown into the sink for washing!!!! I instructed husband – don’t throw that jar into the sink now on. I will use it.

Today morning when my daughter got up, this mixie jar was lying on the kitchen platform. I asked her very sweetly – Bettu add a cup of milk to this badam pista mixture and drink it up!!!!!!!!!

She looked into the jar and gave me a dirty look and said – What is this obsessive behaviour!

I said to myself, How can you allow the bit of badam pista, akhrot mix going to the drain 😀

At home, we had made sure to use all opportunity available to have our own kind of fun when children were young. It would be simple events like dashing for a movie with tiffin boxes from home, gathering of friends at home for New year eve, preparing a dance item for school functions, painting our walls, and many such titbits. Recently, when daughter was home for few days with her WFH facility, she surprised me one day saying, Amma lets make a dance video! I was thoroughly flattered and thrilled at the same time, at her proposal, because I knew for sure my children are not very fond of me dancing the old style (barati dance) always. Both my daughter and son, ofcourse can dance the latest styles. But these days mother – daughter dance vdo’s are in vogue and secretly I always wanted to make one and so I was thrilled !!!! This was my yahooo-moment at home and you can see the result ….

We practised few times .. soon realised we cannot match our steps so soon hehehehehehe
