नात्यांचा सर आपल्या चिमुकल्या बाळाला मध्ये घेऊन आई वडील पहिला सर बांधायला सुरवात करतात ! मग आजी आजोबा काका काकू मावशी आत्या असे बाकीचे मोती अगदी अलगद येऊन माळले जातात आपोआप ! बहीण भाऊ .. सक्खे चुलत आते मामे भावंडं ह्या सगळ्या मोत्यांनी रक्ताच्या नात्यांनी पहिला सर बघता बघता भरतो ! हळुहळू दिवस जातात तस बाळ आपला नवीन सर बांधायला घेतो .. त्याचे मित्र मैत्रिणी .. शाळेतले ,बस मधले ,van मधले ,ग्राउंड वरचे ह्या क्लास चे त्या क्लास चे , शाळेतले शिक्षक ,कॉलेज चे मित्र ... मित्रपरिवाराची कुटुंब ... शेजारी पाजारी ... जेव्हढे मोती गुंफत जाल तेवढा सर वाढत जातो. पहिला नात्यांचा सर आणि हा जोडलेल्या नात्याचा सर ..दोघातले मोती अधून मधून स्पर्श करत राहतात .. क्षितिज रुंदावते तसे सर वाढत जातात..  नोकरीचे सहचारी .. नवीन नोकरी..  नवीन सहचारी.. नवीन सर अशात कधी जीवनाचा सहचारी मिळतो आणि एका सोनेरी सरांची सुरुवात होते.  त्या सराच्या बांधणीला मात्र आधीचे सर्व मोती एकत्र येतात.  एकमेकांशी कधी स्पर्श झालेले नसले तरी त्या एका मोत्याच्या नवीन बांधणीला...

"Mumma तुझी ही pant(read salwar here) जरा different आहे ना ". He said "Yeh" I replied but that surely put smile on my face.. जुना joke  आठवला म्हणतात ना तस! 4 -5 वर्षांपूर्वी घडलेला.. Why some people have stories associated with everything? Don't know...not their fault राशीचा गुण असेल  In this case not one but two stories were attached.. That shiny jet black velvet salwar she was wearing. So much I had liked it.Surely I will buy this. I was discussing it with another female colleague of mine at cafeteria.She also managed to spot that girl with velvet salwar and wondering what is so special about it. Another colleague overheard our conversation and then subject diverted to why females look at other females for clothes ,jewellery ,lipstick shades and what not and how male species is so simple and straight forward and how then won't mind ten other men wearing same colour.. brand shirt in the same room.Subject got diverted then but it was hover...

संध्याकाळची पांच ची वेळ.   एकदम निवांतपणा ना मिटिंग्स  ना ऑफिस वर्क ना घरकाम  ना मागे मुलाचा लकड़ा  कसलीच घाई नाही हलक्या वाऱ्यावर विंड चाइम नाजूक आवाज करात नाचत आहे  हातात वाफाळत्या कॉफीचा मग घेऊन अलगद जो झुल्यावर बसाव  कोफीच्या अरोमा बरोबरच अजून एक मंद सुवास सर्वदूर पसरला आहे  चाफ्याच्या फुलांचा  एखादी नवी नवरी जशी नखशिखांत नटावी तसा चाफा फुलला आहे पण खरा वेडावू न  टाकतोय तो गुलमोहर  पूर्ण बहरून आलेला  बालकनीच्या कट्ट्यावर हनुवटी ठेऊन एकटक बघात होते अचानक खाली पाहिल तर कट्यावर पण गुलमोहोराचे प्रतिबिंब नीळ आकाश आणि बहरलेला लाल गुलमोहर  त्या एका क्षणाला पूर्णपणे वर्तमानामधे मन  पंचेन्द्रियाना मोहवणारा तो एक क्षण .  That blissful moment..

Time that I have spent in kitchen in last 15 months is probably more than that I have spent there in entire life.Its that urge to try out something new more than actual love for cooking I guess.New in this case is strictly restricted to new for me which could be as simple as basic cake.The real new which leads to invention innovation I have no plans to reach there and happy to leave it for my favourite chefs who have given so much glamour to cooking.I mean the way they present jeera tadka dal makes it look so special.Their fancy utensils spatulas background kitchen and kitchen appliances including microwave freeze or simple mixer grinder its treat to watch.In the end the way which they present dish and taste a spoonful you decide ...you will try it once. This list of "should try it once" probably overgrown in my case is one reason I could think of my time in kitchen and off course simplicity.Cooking these days have really become simple isn't it.From ज्वारीची भाक...

If you like those DIY videos that is really great. If you are fan of best out of waste things nothing like it. In addition to this if you think you are creative (pun intended)then its really deadly combination and if you have money and time at your hand then no one can save you 😆 Trust me. I mean its my experience so you get to hear it from horses mouth 😉 I still remember carrying that hanging lamp all the way from USA Ikea shop...and no am not flaunting here..it could be anything from any shop any place ..that is not important.Important thing here is DIY tag. For almost two months that box was lying under one bed or another from one room to other. After tolerating enough of nagging husband declared he is really super busy and unfortunately can not do it at least for next few days..so as an intelligent wife I read between the lines.. he has no interest and will have no time ever. 😡 "Forget about husband wife tying some colourful scarves on head and painting home with ...
