Feeling good about ourselves is the biggest high on this earth ,a feeling that is incomparable to any other.A fact we all know😉Right.Looking good,shopping,going to the parlour or spa for some me time all are activities which make us feel good.Another fact we all know so well 😉Right.     But there is another arena which makes us feel really really good ,is in fact the biggest feel good factor and we all do know about it but very few of us explore--making others feel good or helping others.A little effort or assistance and the eruption of serotonin in our own brain too. Making us happy seeing the smile on another's face,a smile for which we are responsible. I experienced this high recently when a few of us friends treated the kids at the Red Cross Bhawan orphanage to a lunch. The way they mingled with us,playing around, distributing laughter and smiles was an amazing experience.I am sure many of us do this on our kids birthdays or anniversaries .But the whole experienc...

Anyone who has been following our blog would know that we are all about mundane things that make us feel good,alive and rejuvenated.    Cooking we discovered is one such relaxing hobby which de stresses amazingly.As much as a good dish or dessert can fulfill your gastronomical need ,a well presented one can satisfy your sense of sight and smell but actually cooking one can give you a sense of achievement and accomplishment.The whole process of gathering ingredients,cutting chopping,cooking or baking and finally presenting is a very relaxing and a rewarding experience.    And in a bid to give our readers the best of this experience we contacted one of the best cooking expert the city has to offer--Shanu Sharma.Though running her own institute in rishi nahar this young lady to her credit has taken classes from colleges to university to several schools and institutes and spreading with aplomb the calm and expertise of her varied yet easy to make recipes.

Teachers day -exciting and reverberating of my student's performances in the past year.Agreed I am not driven like regular teachers by mark sheets and results.But then again more fluid the line of teaching I guess higher the expectations.Because art cannot be contained so neither can its results be pronounced.Rather it is a slow and steady progression.But what makes the whole process worthwhile is your equation with your students and if that is A+ then obviously you not only have a great rapport but also fabulous students who make you love your work .     Furthermore all of the above translates into proud moments for the teacher and chilled atmosphere for the students. I would like to here focus on the joy of teaching and the focus on on this very renaissance piece of art recently completed by my student Rhidhima (on a short break from London School Of Fashion).          The gold accents in the painting totally resound with fun we both had imagi...

Laughter is the best medicine-We know totally cliched but happens also to be totally true and we tried is first hand on Saturday evening.Atul Khatri the oldest stand up comedian in english😀As he likes to say 😉Was performing at peddlers and we thought why not give it a try.    Two critical and apprehensive girls out for experimentation admist a whole mismatched milieu of people.There were young college students,middle aged couples ,newly married couples,girls like us and boy gangs as well.But boy what a performance!!Stupendous hilarious in your face laugh out loud clever intelligent with borderline raunchy but never ill -mannered.I know I am a little weak in the adjective department but trust me it was really worth the effort of taking a little time off from our plans on Saturday evening and investing in good old laughter.Not only did Atul khatri's relatable comedy refresh us but it was also nice to see so many people turn up for an event which is still not very known ge...

Food-one of the most basic yet most satisfying feelings in the world . And by satisfying we definitely don't mean hunger pangs-but all the senses , all five senses.Gourmet food can not only fill up the stomach but beautifully presented can be such an exhilirating experience for our eyes, nose and taste buds as well .Culinary experts can vouch for the success of food that is presented beautifully .Of course the role of ingredients that tickle our sense of smell before our taste buds cannot be downplayed either.    The icing on the cake (pun intended)comes when all this and more is offered.More in the form of company of friends or family or colleagues without the added burden of cooking hours at home.Herein enter the quaint little cafes and coffee shops that are mushrooming in abundance .Banking on  our capacity to mingle food with the other good experience of meeting with loved ones over a non formal cuppa without spending a huge amount of mullah. Therapy for heart ...

By learning you will teach By teaching you will learn A Latin proverb that about sums up the joy of teaching young eager minds As you know the whole idea of our blog is to explore things which give us joy,simple everyday things .And one such joy is teaching your craft to eager students,students who are there for the joy of learning,students who are probably at the same wave length as you and who eventually do you proud. Recently Parnika a regular student with Kanika painted a canvass about which we both agree that it is as amazing as colourful in depicting the joys of life.The simple colourful joys that life offers us ,something we keep trying to explore through our blog and art. It was as though that this painting was the epitome of all that we want to say in words.      Our colourful life,filled with various expressions ,various colours ,various experiences--a nuanced painting in its undertones yet simple at its first glance,just like us humans. Parnika kaur Be...

 One of the things that gives us maximum happiness is to be able to do things on our own.Even little kids as soon as they reach a certain age want to do things by themselves.The pleasure of that achievement no matter how little is different. But over the ages society has cast women in a particular mould of helpless beings who are unable to do certain things without the help of their male counterparts.For the past couple of decades no matter how hard women in various fields have tried and succeeded to break this notion and stormed all male bastions--yet ALAS! In very few cases the notion still persists. But again trust me breaking these ancient notions and achieving things without help is the biggest high,the biggest impetus.Showing to everyone that we are no more helpless Cinderella's but strong free-willed imaginative and hard working independent women. This bold painting is a dedication to all the women who have achieved and yet been mocked for their never die attitude.All the...
