Greening the Planet :India plants 66 million trees in 12 hours #WATWB

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 27, 2017 9

The world is facing a crisis.All the greenery that we have thoughtlessly cut down over the lasts several years need to be restored if we want our children to live in a living world.

Honouring the Paris Agreement the Indian government has to spend 6 billion dollars to restore 12% of its land to forest.Not easy when you consider India’s bursting population.

But that’s another story.The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh garnered tremendous support when 1.2 million people worked together for 12 hours on 5th July 2017 to plant 66 million trees all along the Narmada river in Madhya Pradesh.

News like this makes me happy.It’s like people and politicians finally discovering their brains and common sense bone. Hopefully, this is not a one-off and this will be a change for the better

Environment, WATWB

One Advice You Would Give to Your Younger Self is

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 26, 2017 20

One advice you would give to your younger self is an unpopular topic.

Do you ever listen to advice however well meaning? Have you read Lord Krishna’s version of it?(I couldn’t find the exact quote,just what I remember )

[bctt tweet=”You can only help those who want to be helped and are ready for it !” username=”misra_amrita”]

Time travel this week on Blogadda.This topic makes me very thoughtful.I would like to say so many things to my younger self.But if it’s one thing, I want to say continue studying hard.

I won the wow badge by Blogadda — I won the WOW badge by Blogadda

”Continue studying hard, even history geography, civics, and languages which appear, not in line with your dreams.They will help you one day.They will make you a more compassionate person.They will help you wrIte your stories.”

When I see people worrying about study load and how hard schools are I wonder what to say.My mom never forced me.She just told me,

”If you want your dreams to come true.You have to work for it.”

No one gives you something for nothing.If you are useful, people will cherish your services, if you are innovative industries will employ you.If you are a storyteller people will want to hear your stories.But your earning capacity is directly proportional to how many people you help and serve.Not easy right?

Read all you can, as much as you can exactly how you are doing now.Maybe not exactly.Stop hiding those Agatha Christie’s in your history book.It’s not helping you.Just quickly get those studies over and then you can read all you want.

via GIPHY

Go on reading those self-help books and articles and solving those papers.Everything will help one day.As the world changes, so do traditional ways of earning and making a difference.You don’t know when your extra curricular lets you earn more than your profession.

[bctt tweet=”Have faith in God and believe.Studying hard will help you so don’t stop.” username=”misra_amrita”]

This is not a popular advice nor is an easy one.But there’s [bctt tweet=”no shortcut for doing well in life.” username=”misra_amrita”]The route is through algebra trigonometry, geometry, civics, and history depending on your nemesis.

Also, everything Taare Zameen pe said is not necessarily Gold!

Writing Tools, 26 Tips on How to Improve Your Writing: Cheryl Sterling Book review

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 24, 2017 17

Writing Tools, 26 Tips on How to Improve Your Writing Cheryl Sterling is a book I wanted to review for a long time.

Cheryl’s book is a treasure trove for all bloggers, new or experienced.She gives tips, tricks, and wisdom which only someone who has learned through experience can deliver.Many who write have a dream to be an author.But the route to traditional publishing, self-publishing, and writing as a craft or trade is made into a confusing mess.The proverbial tangled twine rarely gives a clear answer.But this is where Cheryl helped.

How is the book arranged?

Alphabetically you are taken through different aspects of an authors book sphere.What you need to do and learn is tabulated in a quick read which doesn’t waste your time.

“A” is for Amazon Author’s Page
“B” is for Board Boosters
“C” is for Canva
“D” is for Draft2Digital
“E” is for Email List
“F” is for Facebook Groups
“G” is for Goodreads
“H” is for HootSuite
“I” is for Images
“J” is for Journey, Hero’s

For the rest, you will need to read the book.

Writing Tools, 26 Tips on How to Improve Your Writing- Cheryl Sterling Book review

Pros of the book:

An easy read.
Very useful for new authors, wannabe author and also bloggers.
Guides you about author platforms and how social media can help you as a writer.
Cool tips for fiction writers to sketch out their story.
Gives you great tips to handle self-publishing easily.
Guide to navigate the way from blog to book.
It’s written without technical jargon.
It helped me a lot.

Cons: Since it’s an A to Z book the importance of each of the components and how they are related to each other, is a little confusing for first timers.But for people with a little experience, it actually brings the blog to author story to completion.

My take on Writing Tools, 26 Tips on How to Improve Your Writing

Monday Mommy Moments 34:Creative birthday ideas for 5 year old

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 21, 2017 26

Children love birthday parties.Don’t we all?That’s why

Don’t we all?That’s why it is a rule in our family.Part is a must.Small or big is immaterial.Whats important is we must celebrate.Even when we want to cut down on costs, but want her to enjoy the simple things in life, we still have a party.For a five-year-old little girl, having friends over and eating cake is a party.That’s how simple some of her birthday party has been.

My little angels know all about real fun.That’s why arranging her birthday parties have been hassle free for me till date.Whenever I arrange a party it’s my struggle. I don’t want to be wasteful and I don’t want her to miss 0ut on all the fun things.The easiest way is to have a discussion with the little one in charge.She gives me a kiss and says

Mommy we just want to play on birthday .

Now I get stuck.I know her list also has some friends, whom she will end up ignoring in the company of her besties.So what we need are party games.When I want to make a birthday party fun I make it fun for the birthday girl!

Favourite party games for 5year olds

Pin the tail on the donkey.Always a favorite and gets loads of laughs
Mental maths .Short quick ones.
General knowledge quizzes.Keep in mind the age group of the little ones.Obviously with prizes!
Treasure hunts with clues.Always popular.I love to participate too.
Let them watch a favorite movie together, with popcorn is a wonderful way to keep the party under control and still fun.Then ask them questions from the movie they watched.

Food for 5-year-olds

Food and refreshments are strictly age appropriate .But chocolate cake is a universal favourite .But not too sweet My favourite , in fact, our favourite cake comes from #Cakes a shop with several branches all over Kolkata.Their southern Avenue shop is single handily responsible for my pregnancy weight gain.

The catering by 6 Ballygunj Place is superb, with an option for live grill station(which needs a watchful eye with kids around) but always fun.

Other options which keep flying inside my brain.

Outdoor party if you have a protected garden area or covered terrace.
Go away for a family trip.(My daughter will still need a birthday party when we come back.)
Visit those who need our help and have a party with them.I hope one day we will do this with Rai.

My brain is buzzing with ideas which you will read all about soon.But for now, I am late for getting my post published for #MondayMommyMoments.

Thankful Thursdays :Thankful For Freedom

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 17, 2017 4

Are you thankful for freedom?I am.Every day when I read about bloggers being killed, girls being put behind veils, unborn children killed because they belong to the WRONG gender.

I value my freedom.My free will.This free land I am born in.The people who made me free.That’s why on the occasion of Independence on Thankful Thursday we are writing about freedom.Read my two posts in the linky where I share my thoughts about being free!

My 10 favorite Freedom quotes

1)[bctt tweet=”“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.” Coco Chanel” username=”misra_amrita”]

2)“Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn’t have the time to sit around and talk about you. What’s important to me is not others’ opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself.”
C. JoyBell C.

3)“The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage.” -Carrie Jones, Need

4)He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.” Aristotle

5)“If you want to rebel, rebel from inside the system.That’s much more powerful than rebelling outside the system.”Marie Lu, Legend

6)A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.”Jim Morrison

7)“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.- Audre Lorde

8)Chains of gold are still chains.” Robert Thier, Storm and Silence

9)A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.” Milton Friedman

10)“This is my doctrine: Give every other human being every right you claim for yourself.”
Robert G. Ingersoll, The Liberty of Man, Woman, and Child

Freedom From Being Judged as a Mom:MondayMommyMoments 33

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 14, 2017 10

Freedom from being judged as a mom is not easy.But it’s a secret wish that all moms have!

Are you going to have a career?SAHM or WAHM?Does it matter?All moms work.All the time.No pay, no leave nonstop worrying. Forever !What kind of people want to go through that?Moms do.We love our little bundle of joys

But that’s when the pain starts.The judgment.For moms, it’s Judgement day every day!

From the woman at the laundromat to your bank manager, everyone has an opinion on mothers and what they should do.Even your best friends and people who are otherwise normal will judge you.

We are judgmental humans.We like(need) people to conform. We don’t like different.Though we want to be.

We don’t like it when women do it all.Learn, work, have a family and want to do more.

Freedom From Being Judged as a Mom MondayMomyMoments

We think it’s only people like Angelina Jolie or Madhuri Dixit with the money and the clout can manage it all.But for you, me and the ordinary woman it’s always going to be:

Do you stay at home?So you are not working!

Imagine a non-working mom.That species is non-existent.

You work?How do you manage?

With lots of help and hair tearing worry!

But why do you need to work?Your hubby doesn’t earn enough?

Why is it difficult to understand, that I want a career after studying my entire life?What exactly will I teach my girl?I am confused.Help me out here.

Are you a mommy blogger?Where do you get the time with a child?You don’t have a career right?

Did you give up your career?(That’s what you say!)

Your husband helps and you manage, home and work?You liar!

Yes, you have heard this all.This Independence day I promise not to judge other women.I also want Freedom from being judged.Writing this for #MondayMommyMoments prompt.

Today’s Prompt:

Freedom from Being judged as a Mom!

This week’s winner is Tulika from obsessivemom.in

She says the true essence of Rakhi is the bond of love and protection.It should be gender neutral.It’s not about gifts and sweet s.It’s about protecting and taking care of each other.

MondayMommyMoments 33 Winning Post -Tulika

The point about gender neutrality was mentioned by Anubhuti, Shipra, and Vidhi too.Maybe we as mothers are doing this right.Breaking the stereotypes will go a long way to change how society thinks.
