Why I love my blog#Bloglove :Life as a Doctor-Momblogger

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on March 17, 2017 26

I love my blog and there’s no other day better than today to declare it.

My blog baby is 2 years younger than my daughter .When I started blogging ,I knew nothing.Google ,Amy’s blog ,Pat Flynn’s SPI ,quicksprouts and backlinko helped me get it together.Somewhat.

All these bloggers have one thing in common.They never waste time pulling down others.They always understand the value of kindness.Not compromising on quality of content is another thing that makes these bloggers special.

Today Blogchatter asked me to take on the baton of Blog Love from Ramya Samantha

Why do I love my blog?It’s because I started to write that I read all these interesting blogs.Learnt that blogging is not just writing.Blogging is an art and science by itself.

Itself a beautiful universe where your virtual self speaks through the written words.After you are a professional ,sometimes you need a hobby that challenges you.That pushes your boundaries.As a mom you have limited choices.What you can do depends a lot on how old your child is and who are the other care givers.

My blog lets me write my heart out.All that I want my child to know about,love,relationships,trust ,family and my joy at being her mom is painstakingly etched into this virtual home of mine. Shifting 6 homes,has made my blog my sanctuary. Whenever wherever I travel to ,my blog has the same address https://healthwealthbridge.com

That’s special. I told my daughter she has a place to write here when she grows up.How cool is that .Mother daughter sharing a platform.My blog is my safe nest.Its my home.My safety net.My bouncing ball.Its my baby and my friend .Its because of blogging that I found amazing friends.

I started blogging not because I was a SAHM.Infact I am anything but that.I work full-time at a Medical College as an ENT surgeon and teacherI absolutely love being a doctor and teacher.The duties being flexible, helps me manage home and work.I am really thankful for that.During my own struggles ,I realized what most women with shining careers go through ,after becoming a mom.Your heart is torn into two parts.One part wants you to spend all your hours with the bundle of joy and the other one wants you to do the work you came here on earth for.I became a doctor through a difficult journey .Giving up on being a doctor is not even a choice.The choice I had was ,how much time I was going to be a doctor,and how much time I could be a mom.Doctor -mommy -blogger is the sweet spot that lets me do it all.

When I write about health ,wellness and lifestyle healthcare I use my professional knowledge and experience.When I write about ,parenting ,mommy life and childcare its a mix of both a mommy and a doctor.When I write about my journey to financial freedom as a momblogger .Its my blogging mom avatar which has fun.Learning the technicalities of blogging and backend stuff is my hobby which challenges me and my daily mind exercise.

My blog does this all for me. Thats why I love my blog.

I pass on the baton of #BlogLove to Bushra

Holi :Mommy Tips for a safe and fun Holi

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on March 13, 2017 10

Holi is a special celebration.
When I was young we used to play Holi in our neighbourhood .At Medical College I played Holi.I had emergency duty on Holi at Medical College and I played Holi with my little girl who just turned five.
It’s always fun when you play with friends and family .But the fun shouldn’t be at the cost of your safety.
Take care of your skin ,hair eyes and ears and what you eat and drink.

Before going out to play Holi :

I oiled her hair and mine and put moisturizer and sunscreen to both our exposed skin.Hubby being hubby uses nothing.Covered up as best I could .I kept the contact lenses at home.Put on my glares ,lipstick on and I was ready to go.
After coming back copious amount of warm water ,body wash and shampoo .Used a conditioner for my hair and an after bath moisturizer.My skin breaks out with any irritant so even though the organic abir didn’t burn,itch or sting ,I used lacto-calamine lotion .It’s great to cool the skin and soothe itchy skin.
Personal safety :
At all times me or hubby were with our daughter .Before playing ground rules were set.We used only organic colour. That’s why most of it was easily washed off.
No colour in eyes or ears.This is very important .
No water filled balloon to be thrown at ears .It can cause problems in the ear drum including hearing loss!
No playing with strangers.This is obvious at all festivals.No talking to strangers!
No food to be taken which is not offered by mommy or daddy without permission.

We had a Happy and safe Holi .How was your Holi?This is my Monday Mommy Moments post on the prompt.

Our prompts are like friends.If you don’t already have something planned write on the prompt.If you have already planned link that up.Easy no stress way to publicize your work.I love blog hops.

#ColgateMagicalstories Space fairytale :How Earth was saved

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on March 10, 2017 7

Stories make the world go around.So when Blogadda asked whether I would like to write a story with my daughter around the new Colgate space adventure packs ,I was excited.

My daughter loves making 3d puzzles,drawing and telling stories about the characters she draws.

That’s why Colgate innovative adventure packs are perfect to keep her happy.

COLGATE MAGICAL STORIES space adventure packs:Already opened

We received 3 Family packs of Colgate .My daughter is five, so while we looked on excitedly , Daddy helped us cut out the characters and space ships from the pack and assemble it together.Its very easy to do ,designed in such a way that the characters will stand and make storytelling a lot of fun.

After getting all the characters,space ship,rocket, aliens assembled.My daughter started telling her story while I helped her write it down.

Rai telling me the story while she plays #ColgateMagicalstories

The Story

Once upon a time Rai and Rohan won the science competition at school.Their prize was a visit to the NASA Space centre and a peek inside the new rocket that was visiting Mars .

Once inside the rocket ,Rohan accidentally pressed the glowing green button in the control panel.Before they knew it they launched into flight mode and their biggest adventure.

Rai started crying as she saw the blue-green Earth falling behind.But Rohan was half human, half pixie blood. He was afraid if Rai knew, she would panic even more.His powers were a little rusty, but he sent a quick brain wave to his mom, with a shot of the inside of the rocket to his mom .

Before he could think of a way to get back,they had slowed down .It was a pre-planned flight ,so he could do nothing but wait.

Rai suddenly grabbed his arms and said

Look Rohan I think those are the other planets .I can see Saturn ,Pluto ,and Sun .What are they doing here ?Why are they not on their own orbits?

Rohan couldn’t believe his eyes.Planets talking ,and even arguing!He edged up closer to hear what was going on.

Colgate magical stories :The planetary meet

What he heard surprised him.They were all discussing their young sister Earth and how two children were the last hope.Rohan was surprised .What could be the problem that made these planets and sun look so worried?

Then Pluto spotted him and said

There he is !That’s Rohan I know him.Where’s Rai?

Rohan was so surprised, that he could only mutely point out that Rai was inside.Sun was looking happy and gave him a sunny smile.Pluto rushed inside and brought Rai out who looked scared of the space walk.

Together they heard the story .

How all the planets once had life but due to lack of thoughtfulness all trees were killed .No oxygen ,no life!Problem was Earth was going the same way.But she could still be saved.

Thats why Rai and Rohan you have been brought here.-said Sun.

What do we have to do?chimed Rai and Rohan together.

Nothing much .Your rocket will take off from here within next 2.45 minutes.Then you should reach Pluto. But we are tweaking it ,so you reach ET’s planet and get the secret from him.

But be careful .there’s danger too. Rohan smiled and said

Don’t worry Sun .I am half pixie blood.

Rai looked at him shocked ,while the planets just smiled.They knew.That was the reason Rohan was chosen. Rai gave him a sharp poke in the ribs.Rohan said

Quick into the rocket .Count down has started.

Running, almost flying into the mothership ,they settled on a bean bag and started munching the protein bar.

Now out with it – said Rai

What nonsense were you saying there?

Not nonsense .Wait lets reach planet Xtra,you will know.Tell me Rai whats your super power?

I have a green thumb – smiled Rai.

Yes that’s why you were chosen .We have to get the secret of the green thumb and a happy soul from ET then Earth will be saved!

Reaching planet Xtra hardly took a minute .ET was already waiting for them with a small silver box in hand.

Quick take this before STUPID the monster sees you.

But STUPID was already there .Rohan and Rai both aimed there laser guns at him and zapped him hard.STUPID vaporized,ET smiled.

If only you can stop stupidity on earth and stop cutting down trees,Earth will be saved.This silver box is Apples latest .Just plug it in your ear and you can talk to plants and hear them too .They will tell you exactly what to do to save earth.Just be careful of STUPID’S clones on earth .

They thanked ET and rushed back to the rocket.They still had time to save earth and be on time for the year ending party .

Colgate magical stories:How the EARTH was saved

I’m blogging my #ColgateMagicalstories at BlogAdda in association with Colgate.

The story idea is my daughter Rai’s with creative inspiration from me!

5 Womanly Quirks that make me Thankful

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on March 9, 2017 37

The prompt I thought was going to be difficult. But in fact it’s the easiest thing to write .I listed all the mad things I love doing and and post was ready .

So what are my secret quirks ,which no one knows?Ladies promise not to judge me .I am a doctor by profession, but a woman after all.I am allowed to be a little off the radar sometimes,right ? It may be the extra X or our hormones ,but being a woman is fun !

Here goes the list my 5 Womanly Quirks

I buy lipstick even when I don’t need it.

No sorry, I buy lipstick because it’s not right to use the same one for more than 6 months .So it’s an investment in healthy lips .That’s not so bad then !

I adore SRK ,George Clooney, Bruce Willis , Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ranveer Singh .I think my hubby is the perfect balance .Okay this is taking it very far .He will kill me for writing this .But excuse my delusions.

I believe we can change the world Each of us ,if we try hard enough .But intentions are important. Until you want to succeed, no amount of pep talk will make you believe that.Our life on earth has a purpose.Until you find the purpose and do your part how will you become immortal?

Luckily as a blogger you are now digitally immortal .Just need to work on the other kind!

I go into the deep end about things I do support and believe in.Faith in yourself and God is deep and personal.Justike it’s important to voice concern for the voiceless, it need not be done at the cost of degrading something other people believe in.

All religion can exist in peace & harmony as long as they are compassionate towards men and women .We are all God’s children so discrimination cannot be a way of life.

If standing up for what I believe in makes life difficult maybe I will need to get tougher .

My hubby says

if there’s trouble brewing somewhere and you know it’s inevitable ,Amrita please don’t go there ….you will only make trouble come sooner!

That makes me a catalyst right ?

I believe women are blessed with this amazing power of bringing change ,of being flag bearers, of being catalysts .

Our quirks makes us special.

If God thought men were perfect ,there would be no woman.If men and women didn’t complete each other ,then the world would be a very boring place .We need each other .The world needs saving .

Together we will bash up the bad guys (by words and deeds),find our loves with our heels on and lipstick intact!
