Understanding Childhood! is this easy or difficult. Its neither easy nor difficult, its tactful. In the present scenario, kids have access to all the necessary and unnecessary information. They new generation is more sensitive and fragile too. They are certainly not like millennials. So,  we the millennial  parents have to be extra careful while dealing with them.

Apart from avoiding physical punishments, are there any other changes have you noticed in your parenting strategies. Arent we became more open, and  more convenient parents to be available  for discussions, which wasnt possible in our childhood days. But, do our children understand this? No, they dont, because they not aware of  what we have seen and what they are seeing is  completely different.  Its difficult for them to even imagine  the era of 90s. 

We are still at the same question from where we have started , understanding childhood. Each child is different, and so are their choices and capabilities. They actually know what they want in their life, but unfortunately the parents (WE) are still stuck in our old  era of medical and engineering. But,  today things have changed as there are specialization available  for every minute choice made by an individual. The foremost  require is that the person should have the will and wish to pursue. The generation born after 2k is very smart,  and  aware. It is not easy to understand them and neither it is easy to make them understand,  so  being tactfully finding the answers is the only solution. There is not always  direct answers to the questions, all questions are not objective where one word answers are possible. Some questions are subjective, which require proper reasoning for finding the solution. 

Childhood is  a mystery to understand. Getting into their minds and cracking the codes of  their choices require lots of patience and buckets full of unconditional love. They are smart enough to test our patience, and the moment we loose it,  they are out of our hands. 

In my next blog I will come up with strategies of  teaching reading,  spelling and writing skills to SLD kids.

Fitoor, means craziness and is most common in teenagers. I am sure you must have heard, seen or observed how crazy the teenagers could be. I remember my teenage, yeah! I  was a little arrogant, attitude was increasing, but there was no fitoor, I mean I was never crazy, as I observe the crazy gen Z. Sometimes, I feel the struggle is only mine, but when I discuss with my friends and people around, all have their own difficult stories. So, the point is, handling craziness of teenager isn’t easy. I am here to share my fitoori story, and how am dealing with the gift of Covid that is Isolation to my poor new teenager.

So, when this all lockdowns started that is March 2020, my poor chap just entered in his grade 7th and was 12 years. This new transformation was very scary for each one of us, but these teenagers suffered the maximum. They had so much to share with their friends, but how? Schools were closed, for an unlimited time period, we were isolated in homes. The only rescue was internet and gadgets. But, was this really a rescue? The first year that is year 2020 was a roller coaster ride, which went with a hope that things will improve soon, vaccine will come, year 2021 will be better, etc etc. But, nothing of such sort happened in the whole year. We were now getting habituated to this lifestyle, online schooling, diving into the world of web. We thought, these masks, sanitizers and isolation ect were all temporary, but this wasn’t true for my growing teenager. For him, in his world was fight to save the world from cruel humans, who eat other animal just for taste. It was in March 2021, when my son told us that he is going vegan. Vegan! What? For me, I just knew veg and non-veg I didn’t know from where he got this idea of turning vegan.  This boy has not taken any animal product for more than 1 and half years. This kind of craziness or ‘fittoor’ happens with teenagers. They are unpredictable, and we parents stand helpless. We get trapped in such confusing stage, that whether to stop and scold them or to support them. We definitely try to stop, we shout, crib, at times abuse, try to stay calm etc, we do whatever is possible for us, but not sure whether which strategy would work. My son now in his teenage has become an extreme environment conscious animal lover. His day starts with feeding pigeons, cows, in afternoon he will feed ants and at night stray dogs. The child is now trapped in similar type of behaviour and is not ready to have any other experience.

Now, his next step is saving fuels, for which he avoids any kind of transport to the maximum, from vegan to raw vegan. Believe me as parents, it is tough for us to see the child undergoing such a strict lifestyle. I wouldn’t lie, I cribbed, shout, and do what not to stop him. But nothing worked, infact he was scared of me. I am an author, and a pedagogy solution expert so am in touch with psychologists. Every time I seek for help, I was told that is he willing to take counselling, for which this boy was never ready. Another advice was what is the wrong is he doing, in fact he is doing all good things. So, so what! Shall I see my son converting into a baba.

I always advice parents to stay calm, have patience and support your child but most important of all, acceptance. Please accept your child’s identities as he or she is, half the battle is already won. But this is not easy, when I had to face the transformations, I always had tried to stop them, in all the possible ways. But transformation is inevitable. These kids are exploring their personalities after facing the pandemic, their fight is not easy, neither for the parents. But we have to accept and stay calm. This article I am writing after practicing my words.

My harsh words, my scolding has done no good. It only damages the confidence of my child, which I can’t let happen. So, I have accepted his lifestyle, a now supporting him calmly. Only with love and care I can divert him from the traps he has developed, before that accepting and respecting his thoughts are more important. Handling teenager’s fittoor isn’t easy, but is not impossible, being parents you can make their changing world more beautiful.

Happy Parenting

 

Teenage Hungama 👀

 

Hey all, being a mom of a teenager and a pedagogy solution expert, it was important for me to understand how to understand teenagers. Believe me! I never knew that it is so difficult to understand the mood swings and behaviour of teenagers. Especially after the tough Covid-19 lockdowns, the prime sufferers are the budding teenagers who are at present in the age gap of 13 to 15 years. At this age the child undergoes both physical and emotional changes. To understand and deal with the changes happening with them, they need friends to share and discuss. But, what happened in these two years, the children were locked in homes and they missed being with their friends. This pandemic was tough for the introvert kids, as some of them even now are finding it difficult to mingle with their batchmates.

What a teenager wants! 😏

Gone are the days when you can scold or punish your child for anything. This is the time when you have to be very logical when you talk to them. This generation is called generation Z or Zoomers, and gen Z are very different from us. The studies suggest that this generation is more educated, well-behaved, stressed and depressed generation in comparison to the previous generations. The reasons are many which includes the changing family structure, that is from joint to nuclear families, both parents are working, digitization,  and the mass lockdowns due to the spread of Covid-19 pandemic. This generation prefer to stay at home and watch TV or other gadgets rather going out socialising.

Now, we are aware that it is indeed difficult to manage teenagers and if they are Gen Z then its terrible. So, what’s the solution!

The other day while I was planning to write this article, I had a word with my teenager son, who gave me a list of Do’s and Don’ts. So, here is what a gen Z teenager wants in their words:

Understanding over caring:

Now, this is quite interesting that we as parents have to draw a thin line between understanding and caring. The teenagers feel that we care, but we don’t understand. Sometimes, its better to silently observe instead of taking any action. We have to understand why they are low in mood, high in temper, etc. There must be some reason behind their mood swings, and instead of blaming or arguing, at times the parents have to act patiently with this generation. This generation demands a lot of patience.

No pampering

The teenagers are budding flowers, and they are entering towards the adulthood, but not yet adult. They pretend that they are grown up now, and don’t require any pampering, this is because of the changes happening with them. So, we as parents also have to be very smart while dealing with them. Pampering wouldn’t work, but love always do, and Gen Z is smart enough to differentiate between pampering and love.

Be Logical

Since, our teenagers are extra smart and so they want their parents to be logical. Any illogical demands and actions by parents are not entertained by Gen Z.

How Parents have to deal!

Now this is what a teenager wants from his or her parents, but what are the concerns of parents while dealing with the child. We actually face difficult time when they argue, or answer back. Their phones are password protected and we are not sure what content is being followed by the child. Some might suddenly start following different diet plans like my son turned Vegan, in the lockdown. It is very difficult to accept that child will stop taking dairy products for an Indian mother, but teens are teens and they know the best for themselves. In such situation, we have to handle things tactfully. We have to question ourselves, if the child is maintain the balanced diet, let it be whatever diet he or she follows, and then accordingly we need to take the action.

Getting Hyper always is not the solution

The teens are always prepared to give us shocks and jerks, but getting hyper is not the solution. Maintaining your calm is always required. Don’t forget, this generation is very updated and knows unfortunately more than the parents. But having knowledge, and using the knowledge rightly are two different things. As parents we have to support them at this stage instead of helping. There are several thin lines, which we need to draw, when aur children reaches teen age, like between help and support, pampering and caring, ordering and asking etc there various such actions which has to be tactful.

Don’t blame yourself

It happens that various times we do or act, in a way which shouldn’t have been done, but its Ok. We are all humans , and we learns from our mistakes. In this case we are not only humans but parents, and there is no rule of parenting, we make mistakes, we try to analyse the situation and sometimes our analysis goes wrong. In fact, here am also pacifying myself for not arguing with my son. He, I  sometimes feel provoke me to get angry, and the fact is they are teens. They will do and behave what they feel like doing, without filters.

Let’s let them be who they are! They are in the exploring mode, they are exploring their own selves, lets help them by being with them, calmly.

Happy Parenting !!

Till now you saw Nikhil's family reached Mumbai, and bride's family was whole heartedly welcoming them.  

Simmi ko besabri se intzaar tha, Vinayak se milne ka..Ab tak wo dono itni baar baat kar chukey they ki ek utsukta thi milne ki, ki aakhir asal wo hai kaisa.

Puri responsibility Simmi ki thi, to wo day wise samaan set karwa rahii thi, isliye usey upar, Diksha ke ghar jaane mei late ho gayi.

Upar ghar pe,

Diksha, Nikhil ko dekh kar sharma gai. Kai mahino baad mil rahe they dono. 

Vinayak ne puchha: Simmi nai dikh rahi...

Nikhil ne kaha: Haa wo samaan dekh rakhi hai neechey.. 

Un dono ko akela chor, Vinayak bhaag kar neechey jata hai...

Simmi staff ko samjha rahi thi konsa samaan kaha rakhna hai... Loose white satin ka Top and black trousers mei, doll jaisi lagi Vinayak ko...

Pichey se awaz dete huye usne simmi se kaha, hey buddy...All set..

Simmi jaise hi palti, Vinayak ki cheekh nikal gai.. awww... yaar tum peechey se hi thik lag ri thi..

S: what do u mean...(phir mirror dekha to, kisi samaan ka paint uske chehre par laga hua tha..., phir Vinayak usey tissue box deta hai)

usne face saaf kiya to Vinayak ne kaha, thank god, mai to darr hi gaya tha.. ek Monkey itna hybrid kaise ho sakta hai...

Simmi chidh kar kehti hai... huhh veryy funny... Phir wo kehti hai, Vinayak sara samaan lorry pe load karwa diya hai , ek baar dekh lo...

Vinayak lorry dekhhne jata hai, n zor se chillata hai... What the .... man, I told u phir bhi tumko samajh nai ayaa. Ye kisliye...

Simmi: Oho itna kyu gala phadna, mere bhai ki shadi hai... huhh..

V: Oye Simmi! Vidai to rikshey par hogi, doli use karne ka boht mann hai to i have a plan, tujhe Goa mei hi use karwata hu doli...

S: huuu.hh... Motu, vidai to doli pe hi hogi... dekh lena

V: Haa zarur...

Next day sab Goa ke liye nikalte hai.. Saarey guests busses mei they, n kuch cars mei.. Vinayak ki car mei Moms thi, and driver laa ra tha usey..

Diksha ki car vinayak drive karne wala tha.. Nikhil and Diksha peechey baith gaye... Simmi aayi, to usne dekha uske liye aagey ki hi seat bachi hai.. But wo abi bhi Vinayak se naraaz thi.. but phir bhi baith gai, 

Simmi nei us waqt blue gown pehna tha, aur boht sundar lag ri thi, uske baithte hi Vinayak ne kaha...

Nikhil nhai, koi aaj bada pyara lag ra hai... Diksha samjh gai Motu ka ishara, usne kaha, I agree Motu.. sambhal kahi tujhpe bijli na gir padey...

Ye baat sun Simmi muskura di...

Haaste gaatey wo log Goa pohoch gaye. Simmi- Vinayak ne boht ache se pura event organise kiya.. Yaha tak ki unhe kai guest ne offer kiya ki unki shadi bhi wahi dono plan karey.. 

Har event boht colourful, aur boht romantic tha... Guests boht enjoy kar rahe they...

Sagai waley din Simmi ek side apni footwear nikal kar baith gai. Boht thaki hui lag ri thi. Vinayak usey hi dekh raha tha, uske paas aakar usne ek kursi kheechi aur baith gaya.

V: Thak gayi, laao apne pair idhar do...

S: what! nai thik hai, am good

V: idhar kar , u'll feel better, abhi to shadi bachi hai, lagdi hokar vidai karwaygi...

Phir Vinayak halke se uski edi par massage karta hai... 

S: hmm not bad.. ho to talented bandey ... jiski bhi tumse shadi hogi, badi lucky hogi...Ek baat puchu..

V: permission granted

S: u n deeksha are childhood friends, kabhi crush nai hua...

V: yuck, pagal to nai ho, wo meri best friend hai.. but ussey pyar wyaar ... chiii... soch bhi nai sakta...

Yaar love to ek emotion, khud ho ho jata hai, humey pata bhi nai chalta kab kispe dil haar baithey.. Waise maine ajtak kisi ladki ko foot massage nai di, You might be the lucky one...

ye keh kar wo waha se chala jata hai... aur Simmi usey dekhti reh jati hai...Agle din shadi ki zor shor se taiyyari thi.. Sab perfect tha.. but fight ab bhi jaari thi... vidai ki

Simmi doli pe adi thi aur Vinayak to rikshey ki than ke baitha thaa...

S: Vinayak, kyu zidd kar re ho.. maine itni door se ye doli banwai hai.. wo to socho...iss bekar se rikshey mei bhabhi aaygi ghar

V: Bekar sa! see kitna decorate kiya hai.. Dekho, vidai to rikshey pe hi hogi, mere paas ek plan hai.. 

Jab vinayak ne plan bataya to Simmi ne usey thoda twist kar diya...

Ab dulhan ki entry hui, Badey hi rowdy style mei,

 How to write a story?

I am storyteller and involved into storytelling for last 6 years. I am not going to surf and find answers to write this blog, but I am going to share my experiences and strategies I apply to write any story. 

Friends, first understand the types of stories:

1. Imaginary or fiction: The stories which are not real, but are based on your imagination or observation. Such stories are created by you. In such stories, the characters are created and are totally imaginary which may or may not be similar to the real world. For example super heroes stories, etc are fiction where characters are not related to real world. It could also be fictional love stories, thriller, any story which created by your imagination.  

2. Real or non fiction: Such stories are real which you write based on your real life experiences or observation. 

A story could be a fiction or non-fiction, but the essence is how its being told or expressed. Every story has few constant elements:

a. characters

b. an issue or problems, around which the characters revolve

c. Climax

d. message (optional)

The story that you will write will be based primarily on these four elements. 

Process

Dear friends, now you might think that climax comes in the end, so while writing a story you would also think about it at the end. But, that is not the case.

When you write a story, you need to think the endings or climax you are looking for while creating a story. Its the goal  where you want to take your story. There could be more than one end possible, but you need to keep the climax in your mind.

When you know your climax, you need a path to reach to the climax. This path is the problem or issue of the story. Every story has a subject or an issue based on which you create it. 

examples of issues:

a. one sided love of the girl

b. a girl stuck in rainy weather

c. a child preparing for exams

a problem could be anything, it could be positive or negative. After deciding on the climax and issue, now design the characters. Now define all the characters you need in the story. There would one or two protagonist who will be responsible for driving the story.

So define your characters and the location of the story. 

Now you know the recipe of writing the story, do write and create a wonderful story.

 With the arrival of 2020, the news of Covid was spreading faster than the virus. By end of the March we all were locked. It gave us space, which was desired by many. The environment was finally breathing after years. But, we took utmost precautions for being safe from this deadly virus.

I dont know how many had this assumption, but I had, that if by chance I got Corona, how will I bear the heavy bills of the hospital. That was the one reason, I was extra careful. But s 2021 approached, vaccine became the news. We all were kind of relaxed, thinking Corona was gone, but actually it wasnt Corona but the news. So it all in the hands of media, that how and when they have to create the havoc. Anyways, I was also a little relaxed and actually fed up of staying at home. 

And it happened we took #covid19 test, and we were tested Covid positive, which was most negative thing to be heard in this decade. Jab ho hi gaya, so let me share my experiences, which would definitely not be very helpful for you all. Coz bhai hum "ghanta kuch nai hua" and properties to bilkul nai biki in the treatment. So all those notions jo hai about Corona, like:

#Wrong Notions:

i. Over expensive treatment

ii. Reason to panic

iii. You will die

Guys, normal viral fever issey zada severe hota hai, believe its nothing. Dont paanic, if you are getting tested and coming positive. The chances o being positive is very high, its because this virus is prevailing in our environment, and how much careful with mask we are, we are aware of that.

#Symptoms of Corona, when you should be alert and should start the care:

i. Drowsy... you will feel over sleepy

ii. Feverish and weak (might not have fever, but u feel week and warm)

iii. Dry cough

iv. soar throat

If you are observing these changes in your body, be alert and DONT PANIC. Nothing will happen,

#Care you should take:

 i. take steam and dring hot water, as much as u can. 

ii. Eat fruits and dryfruits. 

iii. Vit C, D3 and zinc are immunity boosters, which you must take.

iv. Take paracetamol, if feverish

v. avoid meeting people, as we dont want to spread this 

Its nothing to panic about. Five of us in my family came positive, and my children and servants were safe. But, they stayed with us, in seaprate rooms. We confined ourselves in different rooms. And now we all are fit and fine. Initially, I pacnicked, how things will be managed? Where to send kids? But believe me its not so dangerous as much as its percieved to be. 

So, take care, eat healthy, stay healthy and dont panic. 

 

Either once or more, we all must have thought is there a life after death. Is it possible to know about that life in our present life. There are so many notions, stories and imaginations about life after death. 

Purgatory Voyage: encountering life after death by Adarsh Kumar Khare, very beautifully asnwers so many notions, using Indian Mythology.

I loved the way the temple of lord Yamram is being described and how the voyage of a human to his court starts and ends. Be it a fiction or based on mythology, I would admit that after reading this book, you would realise how important is to be virtuous. In this life you have no pains, the real pain is after that when you leave the planet empty handed, and what you take are only your vitues. So collect them as much as possible.

Review about the book:

Purgatory voyage, left me spell bound. First of all it will not leave you, it is so engaging story. The author very nicely connected the location of the temple, then the mythology behind. I never knew about the Yam temple, and the explanation author gave, I felt as if I was in that place. Its a brilliant book and i would love to read more and more from Adarsh Khare. This story definitely take you to the ride of life after death, the purgatory voyage to hell or heaven, based on your deeds in this life. 
I give 5 stars for language and story . I recommend this to be read by everyone
