Gardening, A New Found Hobby

Somebody aptly said that there is nothing wrong in having trees as friends. This could remain as a trifling statement to me until this lockdown. Socializing is completely stopped now and found this can be the perfect time to learn new things, to start a self-evolving activity like Gardening. As they already said, "Better Late Than Never".

It was an sudden opportunity for me to be the Plantmom of a Lucky Bamboo that I received as a gift, 2-3 months before the lockdown started. I named her "Hope". Its an immence pleasure to see him grow everyday infront of my eyes, the green texture sooths the eyes, the emerging twigs bring happiness, irrespective of all the negativities. "Hope" implanted the idea of Indoor plantation within me, also inspired me to plant some more greens & gift the "Green Happiness" to the near and dear ones. 
To my surprize, Few months ago,during the Lockdown, I have received a big trunk of Pothos(Money Plant) at my doorstep. It was a joyous moment as I got a chance to have a hands-on experiment with the knowledge that I gathered about the Indoor Plants. The next task was to propagate them in the water and to distribute them to all over the house, utilizing the full trunk. Withing few days, roots were spotted in most of the stems, eventually leaves were appeared in few weeks. They were shifted from water to soil in the next step and are doing well by the God's grace. I have got a ZZ plant too from my neighbourhood which is now well propagated in the soil and having a positive growth. 
I generally stick to those ventures, having tough goals and needs extraordinary patience level to accomplish. Yes! Gardening needs both. The tiny little twigs tought me to work on my patience level, which is really needed at the moment. Apart from this, A small tinch of green, sooths the eyes & the mind, every morning, which helps to calm down. From caring them to understand their need, learn about them to help them grow, tought me to became a confident person with full of responsibilities.

I have plan to start kitchen plantation too after the lockdown gets over. Keeping my fingers crossed. Let's save the by planting some more greens!

Egypt Travel Guide & Full Itinerary (4th Nov - 9th Nov 2024) Dreams came true when we spent 6 magical days in Egypt! Honestly, you can’t fit the beauty of Egypt into a one-minute vlog — and it wasn’t easy to explore all the top spots in just 5 days either. Every day started early, walking under the bright sun, exploring incredible sites, and ended late at night. From the calm moments by the Nile River, standing before the Great Pyramids, to seeing real hieroglyphs from ancient history — these memories still feel fresh even today. Here’s our full plan — perfect if you want to explore Egypt in 5 days! (But if you want a relaxed trip covering everything, 8-9 days are better to include the Nile Cruise and Alexandria — we had to skip those due to time and budget.) We also kept track of all costs! If anyone needs the expense details, just DM me! --- Important Travel Tips: 1. Travel Duration: If you can, plan for 8-9 days to fully enjoy Egypt, including a Nile River Cruise an...

||আমার দিদা||

আমার ঠাকুমা আমার জীবনের একজন গুরুত্বপূর্ণ মানুষ। অনেক দিন ধরে ইচ্ছা ছিল ওনাকে নিয়ে আমার কাটানো সময়ের কথা লিখে রাখা। পাঁচটি গল্প লিখেছি প্রথম অধ্যায়ে, যাতে ওনার অনুপস্থিতিতে ও ওনাকে কাছে পাই। আশাকরি ভাল লাগবে।।  ।।আমার দিদা।।  পর্ব: ১ আমার জন্মের আগে আমার "দিদা" মারা যান। শোকাতুর মা কে ডেকে একদিন ঠাকুমা আদর করে বলেছিলেন যে তোর মেয়ে আমাকে "দিদা" বলেই ডাকবে, আমি ওকে দিদার অভাব বোধ করতে দেব না কখনো।  কথা রেখেছিলেন। জীবনের শেষ দিন অবধি "আমার দিদা" ছিল আমার সবচেয়ে প্রিয় বন্ধু।  পর্ব: ২ আমার দিদা বেশ মজার মানুষ ছিলেন। অনেক সময়ে নিজের অজান্তেই এমন অনেক কাণ্ড ঘটাতেন, তাতে আমরা হেসে গড়াগড়ি খেতাম কিন্তু তিনি নিজে থাকতেন অবিচলিত কখনো বা স্মিতহাস্য। সে অনেক দিন আগেকার কথা। আমি নেহাতই তখন শিশু। সপরিবারে দিল্লি থেকে বেড়িয়ে ফেরত আসার দিনের ঘটনা। তখন আবার এখনকার মতন এ সি কামরার চল ছিলনা, স্লিপার ক্লাস ই ছিল ভরসা। দুপুরে খাওয়া দাওয়ার পর যখন সবাই দিবানিদ্রা দিচ্ছে, দিদা তখনও জেগে, ছটফটে মানুষ হলে যা হয় আর কি। যাইহোক, ট্রেন কানপুর স্টেশনে দাড়াতে তিনি ...

||I Miss My Office During The Pandemic||

There are lot of reasons to be in Love with my workplace. My office is in a big Tech Park in Chennai, and is surrounded by lot of greeneries🌿☘️🌳 which is really unusual these days in a city life. It's Obvious that I miss working in the Office environment, long chats with my Team, Physical Team Meetings, Birthday Celebrations, Biriyani Treats,Tea Breaks etc️. I miss Office Events, the only chance to get decked up with sarees and matching jewelleries. I miss Dominos and Hunan. I miss Afreen and Anu, my office besties and Gossips, hours of sharing baseless thoughts. I miss my cubicle, my second home, where I spent hours with countless emotions and it's the witness of many successes, failures and fight backs. I miss the food court, where we used to get everything from Chinese to Dessert items, under the same roof. Spent lot of "Me Time"s and "Bestie Time"s, there.  On a funnier note, I am worried about my makeups and dresses as well. They are also on a long le...
