What is the special significance of color RED on Christmas

With Christmas chimes already ringing high, the environment is filled with enthusiasm and oneness. Sparkling rows of red and green lights indicate the festival's onset. Everywhere we find various things in stores in shades of red, be it clothing range, home decor articles, or even edible items that wear the Christmas colors. We often have an implication, or to put it more correctly, we associate each tangible and intangible thing with different colors. For example, when we talk about love, compassion color red flashes in our mind, or red strawberries look so tempting. The color red also symbolizes the color of Christmas eve. Apart from red, the colors related to Christmas are gold, blue, green, and white.

Celebrate #FathersDay with these 7 Children movies

Father and child relationship is as special as mother and child, we can say it with confidence as we share a special bon with our father. The Father’s Day celebration, gives us a chance to express ourselves to our idol in life. A father, who speaks everything through his eyes and gestures, though reacts less but is the person who cares the most and teaches us great values. A child feels safe under his protection and can explore the world under him. A brilliant quote says it all, "I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection”. - Sigmund Freud

Though less spoken and expressed the bond of father and child is brilliantly showcased in these movies and all are perfect to watch over the weekend with kids, these animated movies are essaying the emotions that can make you cry and laugh with the expressions.

Story of misplaced gifts by Santa Claus

"Add cocoa powder in the list of groceries, kids will be back for me to bake a cake today", voiced Aryan's mother from the kitchen as she shelved the utensils in the kitchen.

Aryan got up by hearing the mother's voice but rolled up on the other side of the bed thinking the winters and blankets are a stunning combination which cannot lose any duo competition. When he was about to pause all thoughts and go back to slumber, his mother handed him a cordless phone saying Rohan has called thrice till now and he has mentioned its urgency. 

With much difficulty and remembering his friendship vows he took the phone and whispered Hello…

“Hey dude, you are still on your bed, what’s wrong with you. Don’t you know what’s special today”, blurted Rohan in a gasp.

5 Logical reasons to Deep-clean house on Diwali

Diwali is the biggest festival in Hinduism, and is celebrated on a large scale all over the world. This festival also marks the new year and brings in prosperity for all the people. The mythological truth of the Diwali celebration, it is the day when Lord Rama with his wife Goddess Sita and brother Lord Laxman returned to Ayodha after beating Lanka King Ravan. 

 

Cleaning & Diwali:

 

Diwali is an auspicious festival and also brings in age-old traditions that people still follow, and one of them is deep cleaning the entire house and workplace as it is believed that success and wealth do knock at the doors. Goddess Laxmi is worshipped on Diwali and believed to shower the blessings on people whose abode is clean. Apart from religious belief, there are many logical reasons to deep clean the house on the occasion of the Diwali festival. 

Every tradition we follow is backed with scientific reasons and logic that we are completely unaware of. Therefore it is very important that we practise to explore the 'why' behind our rich traditions and culture and pass it on to our next generation so that they will learn its values and richness.

कैसे बनु देश प्रेमी - How to become responsible Citizen.

माँ ! क्या देश के सैनिक ही देश प्रेमी कहलाये है,

हम सब क्या देश को सच्चे मन से नहीं चाहतें है| 

क्या करूँ मैं ऐसा जिससे मैं भी देश प्रेमी केहलायुं,

सब देखे मुझें भी गर्व से और मैं इठलायुं | 

सोच विचार कर माँ बोली तुम भी हो देश प्रेमी,

बस कुछ काम तुम भी करो और बनो सयानी| 

जैसे अपने देश को स्वच्छ रखना पेहला काम,

इसे अपनाओ और दूसरो को भी दो तुम यह ज्ञान |

Be Bold for Change - Poetry on #WomensDay

We were never silent;

voices were made transient.

ready for responsibilities;

Are you ready to share from her kitty.

Born bold without any hitch;

why many compare and stay in fix.

We are and will be as heart says;

be ready for bold change that essays.

Advices and conditions are plenty;

Rules and regulations are petty.

Girl grows courageously into woman;

Is society ready to see fearless woman.

Change is important in mindset;

Attire and degrees is just a crescent. 

Acceptance of her identity is critical,

Its the need of hour and essential.

This poetry is shared with Poets United for the prompt - Be bold for change on this International Women's Day. We hope this poem reaches to hearts of society who wish to see the change but find it difficult in accepting one.

Wishing all the women in the world "Happy Women's day", wear an attitude of change and enjoy the womanhood to the fullest.

Finally would end this post with a message " Women are no comparison to anyone as they are and will be super one".

Cheers

Gaiety Stopover

 Long ago

 High-pitched vision weaved

 Raced firmly

 Through straight path

 Impish languid spirit gone
For writing passion

Yippee!!! It's time to stop over for a while and celebrate as we have crossed a landmark of 250 posts. The above Shadorma poetry narrates our journey of writing. When we look back we cherish the time we were appreciated, the time when we learned, the moments we laughed and sometimes we jotted down with teary eyes. It was the best part when we received sincere comments from our fellow bloggers and friends, which helped us in a great way to recreate aptly. We sisters have very positively nurtured our blog with utter care & devotion and we definitely cannot live without writing and sharing our views. 

As every milestone takes a turn and brings a new change, we have also come up with a pinch of newness in our blog. Keep reading & keep showering your love.

Rules (Haiku)

Nature across all boundaries is same only rules of that boundary changes the way one looks at nature. That is the power of rules;it can either make ocean look blue or it can just act as a reflection of sky. The rules are not made to bind someone,they give us the proper path to grow and evolve. Let's celebrate the power of rules today and feel proud of our constitution that helped us mold our future and gave us wings to sail in a right direction.

Walks with us along

Indispensable ethics

Strengthen foundation

Gels with perfection

Not made to bind or restrict

Plunge into the rule pool

Happy Republic Day

New Beginning New You

 
A fortnight of New Year is passed and resolutions or to do list of year is still on. New-year eve is special in many ways as it gives us many new ways and opportunities to dump the burden of past and carry goodness of experience.

Freshness in the new year has a magical spark, where each one of us tries new things on different fronts, it’s a different point whether you complete such tasks or not but starting a task and thought behind is more vital; to which Plato beautifully quoted “The beginning is the most important part of the work”. So don’t hesitate to start a new chore, just a little encouragement is required and if you are looking at ways to keep going with your resolutions then read our post “Survival of resolutions”.

Stuff Mothers Shun

A Mother teaches lessons in life's long run,

while many things she purposely shun.

At 1 she intentionally leave your hand,

to teach you walk and steadily stand.

At 2 she ignores all your tantrums thrown,

to imbibe you with moral values well known.

At 5 she stops playing with you,

as she knows sharing lesson stands in queue.

At 10 she pays no heed towards your dressing, 

as she wants you to build your own styling.

At 13 she cease listening to complaints,

as quality of letting go in you gets deeply ingrained.

#Holi in True Spirit : Painted Heart

Painted my hand in crimson,

to extend the message of love and concern.

Every vacant eyes rose,

to sparkle with colors of bright gold.

Abrupt speech drowned in yellow,

to chant the heroic hymns in mellow.

Tinted my path in color blue,

to commence in direction of dreams and not hue.         

Drenched in splash of green and pink,

every solution uncovered with a click.

When every painted hand joined together,

it painted each heart with smiles forever.

Happy Holi !!!
