Many of us must have heard about chath puja but do not know why it is celebrated and its significance. Chath puja is one of the important and popular festivals of Bihar and Eastern UP. It is celebrated with high esteem by the people. The chhat puja is dedicated to Chhatti Mai (Goddess of Power) and to Lord Surya (Sun), Agni (fire) and Lord Kartikeya. It is celebrated twice a year: in the summers called the Chaiti Chhath, because it is celebrated in Chait month by hindi calendar. It is not very popular though. Second and main in the winter after Deepawali, called the Kartik Chhath. Just 6 days after Diwali. It is believed that whosoever performs this vrat get their wishes fulfilled. This fast is mostly done by the women but gents also do it. It is done with utmost care without having water for the well being and happiness of the family.

School Admission

Today was a hectic day for me. In the morning I woke up at 6 am and started my day with my kitchen work. My son’s interview was scheduled for today at 2PM in DPS Vasundhra. I was quite excited as well as nervous. I prepared breakfast as soon as possible. Doing my entire kitchen and other household chores I really got tired. My in-laws had just came 2 days back so we were full family today. So it was a fun time for Ayush. As we live as a nuclear family over here so whenever someone visits our place, Ayush feels good as he get lots of people to play. He was also busy playing with his grandparents and in playing he was got too involved that he was not willing to take breakfast. I tried my best to feed him but I was helpless. This was adding to my worries.

At 1pm we all left for the school. Around 1.30 we reached there. My son Ayush was excited. He asked me “mama, is that my school, bada wala Na”. He was enjoying there, to see swings, see saw and lovely lawns. We reached the reception and completed the formalities. I liked the arrangement that the school has made. All teachers were very cordial & supportive. One of the teachers asked Ayush his name. He answered promptly. He surprised me as I was not expecting that he will answer so fast. Some school children were there on duty to make atmosphere friendly for the kids who were there for the admission. Ayush was called for the interaction. I also joined my son as he started pulling me when teacher was taking him to the class. One of the teachers asked him to seat on a chair and I was standing little far from him.

She started asking some question to him:
Identify the fruit.
Sing any poem.
Identify the Shape
What your name.
Identify the picture of kite and color with violet color.

He took time to adjust to the new environment, and answered all question correct except the name of the color asked. Actually I had taught him main color only. Still I was satisfied by his interaction with the teacher.

In second round we were called to meet the principle. This time me and my husband had to answer.
She asked:

Why this school?
Where we live?
What we expect from the school?

Interview was over and result will be declared after two days. I visited the school again to see the result. I was happy to see his name there.

Joint Family System

Why today’s women prefer nuclear family? Or why women’s feel uncomfortable in joint family?
Firstly every woman wants separate house where she will be the master and other family member should obey her. This could not be easily possible in joint family. That’s why most of the women prefer to live in separate house with their children and husband.

Secondly these days most of the women are career oriented and prefer to do job. Working women find difficult to prepare food for so many people in the family. So to avoid troublesome maintenance of kitchen for large number of people, prefer to live in nuclear family to fulfill her carrier.

Thirdly no educated women can tolerate the adverse remarks passed by the sister in-law and mother in-law.


Why joint family?
But if we learn to compromise a little and try to be supportive, a joint family can be better option compared to nuclear family. A harmonic joint family provides good support both in terms of emotion and finance. In joint family all responsibility is shared by all members equally. Hence its better option to stay in joint family where both partners have to work due to rising cost of living. Children are brought up easily under good guidance of the grandparents and old people are taken care of easily too. Working parents get enough time for them. Even children also develop habit of sharing and helping each other.

How to Make Your Wife Love You Much More

Many husbands want to know how to make their wife to love them much more. It’s very difficult question to be answered. We may have heard from others saying that “it’s difficult to study’s the women’s mind”. Is this correct? Not the women’s but it’s also difficult to study men’s mind. Every woman is different, so there is no “one” answers applicable for this. A husband has to study his wife’s mind fully. There will be times when your wife may be in depression or in tension or bad mood for no valid reason even she might not know why she is so puzzled and depressed. Like man, women also have some traits.

Very few husbands may know that during periods and pregnancy, hormones imbalances causes mood swings in women. During this time you need to understand your wife emotion and act accordingly. You need to help her in household chores, demonstrate her how much you love her, how much she is important to your life. Small things like preparing a cup of tea and bringing a bunch of flower of her choice will add more sweetness in your married life. Every husband should try to avoid argument even if he feels that he is rational. Husbands should not feel ashamed in saying sorry if he feels he was wrong. If situation comes when debate get heated, then it’s better to discuss the situation once atmosphere get conducive for further discussion.

Husband should never lift his hand on his wife even in worse situation and try to understand the situation from wife point of view. It’s difficult to predict wife mind every time even no can do. For successful marriage both partner should try to compromise. Both should understand that everything they are doing is for the person to whom they love so much. The more important thing is love each other without any condition.

These few things and your little initiative will fill her heart with love for you.

How to say “no” to the child and stick to it.

As parents we may have experienced the situation where our child starts throwing a temper in order to get what they want. Most of the time we get them the things that they want just because of embarrassment we may have to go if our child throw themselves on the floor and start shouting. But is it right approach? Or should parents say strictly no to their child’s demand?

We should keep one thing in mind that if we always say “no” to them they will get frustrated, irritated and rebellious. As we are the parents we have to decide first “Is their demand reasonable?” If yes, there is very much ground to say yes to the child and fulfill their demands. Saying yes most of the time will make them to take our “no” seriously. All we know that children are very soft hearted and always expect love from their parents. Tackling child is the challenge for every parent. But we should not satisfy their demands which are not reasonable as this behavior of parents may let the child to manipulate their parents.

If we feel that their demand is not reasonable, we should strictly say “no” and should stick to our “no” even if our child start throwing their fit. Saying no is ok but we should explain why we have said “no” to them. If the child is in anger and not listening to you, it’s better to be calm and let your child also get calm down then explain them the reason but stick to your “no”.

As a parent we have to set rules and disciplines but should not hurt our child. We should also let the child to learn from their mistake but should keep our eye on them so that they do not put them in danger or any serious problem.

No, there are many ways through which one can earn money online but it’s not easy as easy it sounds. That requires lots of time, great effort and most important lots of patience. If one own website or blog, in that case one can earn by placing ads on their website or blog. For this one can try for Google ad sense, adbrite, info links and many others. Again this requires effort, initially it will be difficult to earn but yes once the traffic start building earning will increase. Website owner can also earn by promoting and selling their own product.

Keep in mind there is no ways to make quick money. Companies pay for surfing site, reading emails etc. It’s obvious any one get attracted toward those sites and companies. But earning from these sites are not easy .It totally waste of time and efforts.

It’s better to use mind before going for useless sites.
