It is going on!!

She opened the curtains of her room. Thank God Anupama aunty was not there. Else she would observe everything and every sound wave through the window. She misses her parents and brother. She misses her native place. It is a small town. Now she is living in a metro city.
When she met her relatives who was living in a metro city they used to say "It is going on" when they were asked, "How is the city?".
She was surprised by that answer. 

Everything has changed in her life by coming to this city. No Anupama aunty spying on her activities. No power cuts no internet problem. Customer care people of water purifier, air conditioner, washing machine are reacting quickly.
No worries about hospitals or groceries. They are at the doorstep. She remembered how her grandmother felt while she had a massive heart stroke. No doctor/Nurse was available at that time. 

No greenery is seen around her house. Her flat faces the busiest road so that she never felt alone. Busy traffic reminded her home. Her brother used to play loud music even she is sleeping. No calm environment at home. That music even created a new topic for Anupama aunty. "You should concentrate more on studies than music. Unlike you, Vamsi(Anupama's son) always uses the computer for studying".
"Unlike my mom, you should know your son's browsing history", snapped her brother.
They had a heartful laugh after she left.
When she got a job in metro City, all her neighbours were very anxious about how she can survive in the new City, rather she should say they were jealous.
Jealousy in the name of love.
Interrogation in the name of caring.
Backbiting is the name of admiring.

A few months later:
She is all fine in the new city. But she misses her family especially Anupama aunty when she is sick. She misses Anupama aunty's peeking from time to time. Here she is all by herself. Nobody is ready to look into her life. Nobody is concerned about her being. In this city, she can see arrogant, negative minded people, selfish people. At least in her village, they were concerned about their image when they say NO. Here the people are self-centred and work for their own being.
The cost of living is far more than she expected. If the salary is a 6-Digit number, then she can save only a 4-Digit number that too with a great effort.
Anupama aunty's husband works in a small firm with hardly a 4-digit salary, but they were already owners of a duplex house in that town.
And the traffic is terribly bad, she can't even travel 2kms in 1hour. She missed her town really bad.

After a few more months:
A distant relative met her in a wedding and asked, "Hey how is the new city, new life?"
She smiled and said, "It is going on!!!"

Finally, she understood every place has its pros and cons and she needs to go on with that!!

CHOCOLATE CHIPS IN MY COOKIE

Recently I met one of my old friends after so many years. After a small regular talk, we jumped into our life talk. She is married and working. After knowing my routine, she asked me only one question, "What is your motivation for a day?" 
Then I decided to write about my motivation.
Time 4.10 AM
My alarm rings!!
I open my eyes, but lazily I close it for few more minutes.

Then I decided to write about my motivation.
Time 4.10 AM
My alarm rings!!
I open my eyes, but lazily I close it for few more minutes.
4.15 AM
"Enough of laziness!! Get up!! “inner me shouts
My motivation for getting up early is the uninterrupted bathroom visit. 
4.40 AM
I will fresh up and complete bathing too, and I will be on the yoga mat soon. After some meditation and basic stretches, I roll up my mat. 
The thing which pushes me for yoga is my mental health.
5.00 AM
I start making rotis and curry for husband's lunch. Some dal for our lunch, and prepare chutney or curry for dinner.
My daughter’s breakfast will be mostly like idly the solid breakfast. Sometimes I will have idly too, but most of the times I make other breakfast. And I prepare coffee for us.
Energy giver is My family's hunger. 
6.30 AM
I light diyas in my prayer room (I must say it is prayer shelf because we don't have Mandir) 
Early morning sunrise with the smell of agarbattis and haratis will boost my mood. 
The boost for doing this is for my positive energy. 
6.45 AM
I enjoy my warm ginger tea, with the soothing wind in my balcony, or at times with my daughter's morning orchestra. 
Here is my pill for an energetic morning: ginger tea.
7.00 AM
I pack lunch for my husband and he leaves for the office. I will make my kid brush her teeth, drink milk, bathe, braids her & my hair, make sure she finishes her breakfast and pack her snacks for her school. Then I finish my breakfast. I will drop her to school and come back at 9.30 AM.
The calming mantra here is my daughter's school time.
9.30 AM-12.30 PM
I do some dishes which I left in a hurry, cleans my daughters and my husband's mess. After that dusting the living room, making the bed, doing laundry, searching the damp towels which they both left, doing work on the laptop,  picking up the toys and books, watering plants, cleaning the kitchen, will be my daily routine. Generally, I wouldn't miss the routine. 
Here anti-fatigue motivation is slight OCD and love for plants.
12.30 PM- 5.00 PM
Bringing my kid from the school, feeding her and helping her to complete her homework and then I go back to my work. My kid will be playing, or reading or watching tv while I complete my work. 
Here my driving force is quality time with my daughter. 
5.15 PM
Taking my daughter to the nearest park is my daily duty. I love watching sunset and kids playing there. I do some walking there. 
I don't miss this opportunity for watching the sunset.
6.30 PM
We will come back from the park and my husband comes back from the office. I offer my evening prayers and I feed my Daughter dinner and also we finish our dinner before 7.30 PM
Here my no-routine-breaking motivation comes from the phrase early dinner for health. 
While I finish kitchen cleaning, my husband spends time with my daughter. She cleans up all the mess she made while playing with me in the living room. 
9.00 PM
We put her to bed at 9 PM. She likes to hear bedtime stories, with lots of yawing and questions in between she goes to sleep. 
Here my secret of sleeping early is I need to get up early.
Like this, many chocolate chips motivates me to have a regular cookie, from a smell of camphor to watching the sunset. Yes, I get bored at times. Then is the time I change my path without changing my daughter's routine. At the end of the day what wipes away my tiredness is my daughter's hug, which is her way of saying "thanks for a beautiful day".

HOW MY LIFESTYLE CHANGED AFTER KIDS

lifestyle changed


Becoming a mother changes everything; this is the statement you may have heard every day by many mothers. I do accept you may have responsibilities and sleepless nights., which can change your routine and lifestyle. These are 20 things my daughter has changed
1. Food:
I am not a foodie from the beginning. But I learnt how the mood of cook can have an effect on recipients. I changed my food interests to healthy, easily digestible and homemade food from junk and spicy food.
2.  Sleep:
Ha!!! My sleep timing completely changed when my daughter was born. Every mother experiences it. I was a night owl before, but now I wake up early to complete kitchen chores before she wakes up.
3.  House:
This didn’t change. Previously I used to make a mess around the house, now my kids do that!!! But the difference is now I wanted to make it less clumsy. Previously I didn’t even think about it.
4.  Organizing mentality:
Once in a while, I used to organize my room. Now I am on a mission to clean in every 1 hour. I became intolerant for seeing a mess around now!! (Being a mother changes everything)
5. Patience:
What to talk about this? Every mother says this and needs patience. After becoming a mother your patience levels increase suddenly, even if you are a very short-tempered person.
6. Bathroom:
You can never expect you will have an audience for your every toilet visit. If you shut your bathroom door for a few minutes, your kids ring an emergency bell.  Their tantrums, needs, urgencies, potties all will be summed up in that few minutes.
7. Parties/functions:
You will go to a party and attend your kid all the time. No question about interacting with others. If you have a slight amount of luck, your kid might get friends there, and your kid likes them. You must attend all the children’s ( your kid's friends) birthday parties and you sing the happy birthday song in sync with the kids. You wear crazy birthday hats and props.  How life changes!!!
8. Clothing:
I became more conscious of dressing after giving birth to my kid. When she was a month’s baby, I used to select a very soft fabric, usually cotton.  Still, I am continuing that. Generally cotton is the best fabric for your mood as a mother. I wonder how it would understand my feelings!! It will be light, non-irritating even in the mid-summer, comfortable. Even if my temper raises to the boiling point, my dresses will not be the reason for it. After having a baby, my vision of clothing has changed.
9. Watching TV/mobile:
One of the best things that happened in my life is getting out of this addiction to both TV and mobile. I was an addict before, but to reduce my kid’s screen time, I stopped using these. Now I can proudly say I reduced my screen time, all because I am a mother.
10. Travel:
 Before kids, I used to travel like anything. Without any pre-bookings, an instant journey has thrilled me. Now I don’t want to go anywhere without my kid’s comfort. She is never ready to sit at one place if we take a day train or a flight, it is a nightmare!!! It is not as easy as you think.
11. Routine
Who doesn’t change their routine after kids? My sleep timings, cooking, cleaning, working all are changed. Before I used to be less organised and systematic, depending on my mood. But now my routine is more disciplined, and more organized during my routine
12. Not first any more
Being the only daughter, I was the first to touch the chocolates or desserts. Time changes!!! Now voluntarily I give her fort priority.
13. More confident:
I felt more confident than ever when I reached the milestones of my kid. Whether it is handling her tantrums in public or training her to behave or getting everything ready before she asks, I felt more confident.
14. More strength:
I never thought I can manage time like this, I can be mentally strong like I am now. I can do these many tasks within no time. Previously I was very emotional. But now even if I see an injury for my little one, I am more strong to not to cry. Where this strength does come from?
15. Pushed my limits:
Before I thought I was very weak to go 3 hours without meals. Now I can go for 12 hours without meals and very active. I used to be very less active when I am sleepy, now I can be super active without sleep for 24 hours.  I pushed my limits after being a mother.
16. Change of habits:
From  late-night movies to talking, I change many habits. I read stories, I stopped using mobile, I was very conscious about speaking words, all because, I should be a role model to my daughter. She learns from my actions more.
17. More respect for parents:
During childhood, I don't know what my mother has sacrificed for me, what my father sacrificed to pay my bills. Now I came to understand, why they were worried all the time for me, what they did for me.
18. Complaints on partner
 “ Why don’t you play with her for some time?”
“ Don’t make a mess while feeding her”
“It's not the way to change a diaper”
“ I am here at home all day, I need some fresh air, are going to take me out or not?”
“Don’t sit like that, help me in the kitchen”
Mothers, aren’t these complains seems familiar??
We start complaining more on our partner even if we love him...It’s obvious.
19. Friend talks changed:
Before we used to talk about crushes, life and had fun. Now, we are discussing pre-schools, snack box recipes for kids, home remedies for cold and cough.
20. Healthier diet :
Even if I was allergenic to some kinds of food, I couldn’t control and used to eat it. Now I am more disciplined about food. If I get sick, no one will be there to attend my kid. So I eat healthily and try to be healthy.
Even if I like or don’t like the changes happen, I loved my lifestyle and my baby too.

Happy motherhood!!

SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE


Simplicity is the highest sophistication –Leonardo da Vinci
The most complex thing to do is to simplify. Don't we think only we are complicating things sometimes?? 2 decades before is there this much complexity in lives? Definitely not!! We need to simplify as we go. Where to start? Come let's get rid of things which are weighing us down in every way for the new decade.
·         Organize  and Declutter
Decluttering your desk/house/room is important when you want a peaceful lifestyle. Identify your unneeded things in your surroundings and get rid of them. This technique is not only for things but also for mindset. Declutter your mind if unnecessary threads are bothering you.
·         Batching:
All the time you don’t have to attend to every detail. Pile up to a certain limit for your tasks and you can concentrate all at a time. For example, if you are a homemaker, let the chores pile up your drawing room until you concentrate on your Kitchen work.
·         Prioritize:
Prioritize your chores or ideas or tasks in your day, week and a month. Try to delay unnecessary tasks in your day. This can give fewer complications for a day. Use Eisenhower Matrix
·         Single Task
All of us wanted to become a multi-tasker, but do you know multi-tasking is not a sign of productivity? The truth is you cannot multi-task. Concentrate on a single task at a time.
·         Say No
Every Indian face the problem of saying NO. There are ways to say no without hurting their feelings.
·         Let go:
In yoga, the first lesson I learnt is to let go. Is it that easy to let go? NO. There are many thoughts that weigh you down mentally. You have to learn to let go of a peaceful life. You need to be in the present moment.
Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śharaṇaṁ vraja
aha
ṁ tvāṁ Sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣhayiṣhyāmi mā śhuchaḥ
BG 18.66: Abandon all varieties of dharmas and simply surrender unto me alone. I shall liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear.
·         Slow down
Once in a while slow down in your daily life, sit in peace, know what is going in your life, how you can take control of it.
            A simple life definition will differ from person to person. But the main motto is to eliminate negativity and spending time on important tasks for you. Simplicity is not an easy process, it is a journey, not a destination.

WHY YOUNG MOMS NEED THEIR MOMS




While sipping my ginger tea at 10 AM I felt relaxed, and started calling the usual number.
Her soothing voice “Did you wake up darling? How was your yesterday?”
The question may be funny, but that how we start our conversation. We start from yesterday, what challenges I faced during the day, what is with my health, she asks everything about me. We make a call daily. Some days there will be nothing to talk, still, we call and be online.
Without her phone call, my day would be empty. I cannot be a child on that day. I am a mother and need to take care of a family. When I call her, I become a child again, who needs pampering.  Especially when you are a young mother you need her the most. Not only for suggesting the parenting tips, but to hear you, to pamper you.
I hope many of you can connect this point.
1. Her voice will be soothing, whatever your mood is: 
Did you ever feel when you are away from your mother and when she calls it feels like a tight hug from her.  At times you don’t need anything except her presence. These morning calls can fill up that.
2. Gets pampered: 
 No one in your own home will ever pamper you as a child. You need to fulfil your responsibilities as a mother, wife and a daughter in law. You need to take all the responsibility in this house. The only place you can get breakfast on bed, coffee in the hand, can sleep until 8’O clock, without any disturbances.  Our mothers can do this by their voices and phone calls.
3. She will not judge you:
When I say “I did shout at baby today”  to any other person, immediately and unconsciously they judge me., but my mother won’t. When I had a bad day, or when I was so happy whatever my emotion was, she will not judge me.  She can bear my mood swings, but she will never sick of me.
4. You can be as free as you can:
As a mother, I need to play a different role, as an important member of the family I have another role. But the only place you cut off all your fake emotions and be free as you can.
5. Even she waits for your call:
When all her little ones leave the nest, your mother waits for your phone calls. A call from you will make her day.

No one can replace her place in your life. Even if you are old enough to handle a company or kids, you will definitely need her around you or on phone, to guide you, to pamper you, to scold you, to feed you.
Happy Motherhood!!

WHAT I LEARNT AS MOTHER OF PRESCHOOLER


Motherhood journey is not a cakewalk, especially for new mothers. They learn a lot during the process, so did I. Being a mother of a preschooler is different from the mother of a newborn baby. The level of understanding, communication will be different.
Here are the top 10 things I learnt from my preschool going, daughter
1. Focus 200% on what you do: Kids involves in any given task with all their attention. My kid is not exceptional. If they were playing they play with full consciousness, involvement. I observed we, adults do without any involvement. Subconsciously we do most of the things in a day. Sometimes it makes me feel what is the difference between us and a machine? I can say kids live life more livelily than us. The first thing we need to learn from them.
2. Its okay not to know everything:  My ego never accepts if I don’t know something. But my kid just smiles and asks how to do, what to do something. Isn’t it a sweet characteristic we need to learn
3. Interested in New: New food menu? Excited? New plans? Excited! Change of toys? Excited. New school? Excited. I wonder how the kids accept change!! Some kids resist, but they definitely love the change. Did you observe when they were given a new toy? They have the zeal to learn new things. They will learn, observe the new things carefully and enthusiastically. They focus on learning. No fear of failure can threaten them. Change always enrich our lives.
4. Not forcing things, just relax: When kids got tired they go to sleep. When they were bored, they will stop doing it. If they don’t like a person, they will not smile. Kids don’t force things. 
5. Live in the moment: How many times we got tensed about tomorrow? How many time did we depress about the past? Kids don’t get tensed about tomorrow, doesn’t get depressed by past. They live today, in the present moment. I think it is the best quality to learn.
6. Friends and importance: Did you observe when kids fight; they will not hold grudges between them. In the next minute, they play again happily. Play happily; concentrate on the play, not the team members. The best lesson they ever teach you.
7. Being ON all the time: Right from the moment they open their eyes they will be active, and in a mood for exploring, learning, joy. Whatever happens, they will not stop being active all day. If parents told not to do anything, they may be silent or cry for some time, but they will divert their attention to other things and be happy again.
8. It is okay to cry at times: They don’t care about how others feel if they are crying. It is an outlet for their feelings. Medical studies have proved that crying for adults sometimes will relieve your stress. It is okay to cry (in the room of course)
9. Not being judgemental:  If I shout at my daughter and after a few minutes if I pamper her, she will not judge me for being rude. Actually, she forgets it. Even if I cry in front of her, she will not be judgemental. I can’t expect any adult to do the same if I react like this.
10. Ask questions without fear:  There were many incidents I didn’t ask questions, truly out of fear. In front of family, teachers’ friends, colleagues, shop keepers, I did not talk even if I had a question. “What will they think?”
“If it was a silly question, my friends will laugh at me”
“On the first point is this valid question?”
Like these there are many fears stopped me asking. But my daughter doesn’t care about how others feel if she had a question, she can shoot.
These are only a few things I learnt from her. When she came into my life there are so many things I learnt. Patience, preparedness, controlling my emotions whatnot. She made me completely a different person. She made me a good mother and I am proud to say it.
Happy Motherhood!!

MAGIC PILL FOR MY KID: STORYTIME




8.30 PM
“Come dear its bedtime” I called out my daughter.
“No Amma, I want to play for some more time” my 2-year daughter pleaded with her innocent face.
“Do you want a lion story?” I winked at her.
“Yeeesssssssss!!!!!” she came running.
In the next minute, she is on her bed.
I started her favourite story. She asked some thousands of questions during my four-line story and went to sleep.
Stories play an important role in the development of kids. It can enhance their creativity skills. Why I Always say stories to my kid?
I don’t allow my daughter to watch television for hours. So I need something to engage her. So I say stories, talk, play with her most of the time.
.
“Amma, come let’s go to bed” called my daughter.
“Just a few minutes baby, I will finish my kitchen work” I said hurriedly.
Finally, she won the argument and we are on the bed. She started telling a story (Plenty of stories) until I started singing her lullaby.
Why Did I start stories?
My daughter’s talking ability started slowly. Even though I used to talk to her daily, I observed she needed more speeches. So using her toys I started tiny puppet shows and gradually started telling stories.
Moreover, I practically saw her talking ability improved and so her storytelling abilities.
During the age of 0.6 to 1 year, my daughter was addicted to mobile phone. She was not ready to eat her food without a mobile. Click here to know how to stop kids’ addiction to mobile
So to divert her I chose storytelling.
How Do I say stories?
She loved the stories!! This made me buy and read so many children books again. Even I stick some post-it notes around my house for the storylines.
I mix her daily activities, good manners, mistakes everything in a story. When she throws a tantrum in the shopping mall, at bedtime I will cook up a lion/tiger story with a baby tiger and indirectly says throwing a tantrum is bad habit. Generally, she understands it. After a few months, I saw a tremendous change in her behaviour.
When Do I start stories?
There is no particular time for stories. I start them depending upon her mood. When she is not in a mood to eat, drink or listen to anything, I don’t bother about the surroundings I start telling the story. Mainly whenever she needs a diversion I will start. I am not a great storyteller before, but I tuned my little one to listen to my stories.
What stories I say?
 Mostly I choose animal-related stories. My daughter likes it very much. In some special cases, I chose human stories. Also at the time, I say stories from Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavatam(She loves the way Rama or Bhima or Hanuman kills the demons). I bought a few books on Panchatantra, which consists of animal-related moral stories. Personally I recommend this book for toddlers.
What is the result?
My daughter speaking abilities boosted from 2 to 10 on a scale after starting storytelling!
I handle her tantrums by diverting her with stories!
She became more creative and started telling stories On her own!
I put her to bed with stories!
I teach her good habits with stories!
 It works like a magic pill for my kid. I hope your kids love this too!!
Happy Motherhood!!

10 THINGS YOU CAN RELATE IF YOUR HUSBAND IS A COOK



Generally, men consider kitchen an alien property (Maybe this thinking has changed). Still, some of them can’t discriminate toor dal and channa dal. If your husband is a cook or knows how to cook these are some things you can relate:
1. Full-fledged meals:
You can get full-fledged delicious meal even when you don’t cook. What bliss when you are not in a mood to go to the kitchen. Not just a pickle or plain Rasam. You can expect a 3 or 5-course delicious meal.

      2. Cook God:
He would be willing to eat what you made. He knows accidents can happen! He accepts it. No worries if you burn the tamper, or curry has excess salt. In fact, he can suggest remedies.

3. Behaves Professional:
He can explain in detail how an extra cumin seed can change the taste of the dish. If he cooks, every molecule of the ingredients will show its miracle.

4. Expert on chopping board:
He will be an expert on the chopping board. I learnt onions can be sliced in 10 different ways. If you know the correct technique of cutting, cooking will be easy.

5. Free-Time:
Time consumption can come down drastically when you follow his tips. You get more free time. (Not everyone can enjoy it!!)

6. No worries:
Do you worry about how your family will survive without food when you are in periods? Not to worry your husband can take care of.

7. Treat to sense organs:
When he cooks you can have treat to eyes, nose and mouth. The meal will make you happy in all aspects. The food will look beautiful, taste delicious, smells yummy.

8. Parties:
Friends visiting or family parties? No worries, you can count on your husband.

9. Too much Stuff:
You have too much stuff in your kitchen. Sometimes you can’t spell those items in your refrigerator or kitchen shelves. Still, I don’t know the difference between olives and jalapenos.

10. For others:
People are afraid to cook for your husband. If they know your husband can cook wonderfully, they will be literally scared when they invite you for dinner.

Keeping the disadvantages aside, if your husband(like mine) can cook the best, you are lucky :)

Enjoy Womanhood!!

A DAY WITHOUT CELL PHONE


Isn't it mad enough to take a decision to live a day without a cell phone?
One fine day, I decided not to touch my mobile for 24 hours. To be precise sunrise to sunrise.
So thinking of prerequisites initially I informed my decision to my regular callers. Else they might think something has happened to me.
The second one, I need to place the phone in a place where I couldn't find it. I gave this responsibility to my husband. 
Bought an alarm clock for the big day. 
4.00am 
Beep..beep...
Tried to snooze the sound. But couldn't!!
Got up at 4.10am 
With a mobile phone, I would have woken up at 430am
All my chores are happening silently.
No relaxing calm music.
Want to capture my little ones naughty moments...  No phone! 
Need to book a cab... No phone! (Took an auto)
Wanted to write something...No phone!!! (Note pad and pen)
Wanted to share news... No Phone!! (I was waiting until my husband comes back home)
Bored... No phone! (Encouraged creative box in my mind)
Want to know what's going on with friends Instagram profile..No phone!
Pay the bill..No phone!! (Used a laptop)
Transfer money..No phone! (Cash!!)
Wanted to listen to music/audiobooks... NO way!!
Wanted to search a recipe... No phone! (Pity my husband. He ate my own recipe)
I was surprised by what my phone has replaced. 
An alarm clock, a radio, television, visiting cards,  video games,  camera, notepad,  pen and paper. Almost 70%of my life depends upon cell phone. What a pity!!
Today I realised how badly I missed the "paper and pen feel"
And also I found so much Time which I didn't get when I used the phone.  
I slept peacefully. 
I read books by enjoying the touch and smell of paper.
Calmness and boring time turned to peaceful and productive time.  
Nobody knows my updates. The best thing happened to an introvert like me. 
Finally, I came to know what to do without a cell phone !!

Also realised many life-saving apps are installed in it. I need to use a cell phone consciously.
P.S: The next day I installed an app called "YourHour" from Playstore, which helped me a lot in digital detoxification.

WHAT IF HARRY POTTER OBSESSED SOUL STRUCK IN AN INDIAN HOUSE WIFE'S BODY



Harry Potter: A name for which no introduction is needed. The series amplified the love for reading, in both children and adults. They loved the characters to the core. The books took us to a fantasy world. 
Here are the consequences if a hardcore Harry Potter fan is an Indian house wife.

1. Before she opens the door she says "Alohomora".

2. She says “UP” every time she sees a broom to clean.

3. She wishes she had a wand to illuminate the room with Lumos without reaching the switch.

4. She waits for her kids the 11th year, expecting a letter from Hogwarts.

5. Name her pets as Scrabbers, Hedwig, Crook shanks!!

6. When she had a bad fight with husband, she says “My father will hear about this”

7. Whenever she finds a single sock, she cries “Master has given Dobby a sock!! Dobby is free!!”

8. Bedtime stories for her kids are the stories from "Tales of Beedle the Bard".

9. Wishing an Invisibility cloak as a present for Diwali.

10. Trying charms for knitting. ( Yup!! It works in our world)

11. Trying Silencio for crying toddlers. (I am gonna try this for sure!!)

12. Trying Accio for almost everything. (For lazy women)

13. Try Legilimens for reading husband mind. (We can reveal your mind with this spell!)

14. Ordering butterbeer every time you visit a restaurant. (Umm... Orange juice ??!)

15. Frustrated in slow metro transport. Travelling by Floo powder is so much easy!!

16. Trying Agumenti when there is water scarcity. (If we could use our wand outside the school, there wouldn't be any problem for water in summer)

17. Riddikulus for a cockroach encounter. (I wish I could use this spell)

18. Wishing for Remembrall for what she forget about shopping. (Forget about the list)

19. Husband waits for Vivo IPL, Pro Kabaddi league, football, even Olympics. She is interested in Quidditch World Cup, Triwizard Tournament. 

20. And finally Avadakadavra every time she sees the people she doesn't like.


And says Silly Muggles if you can’t understand this language.
