An Immune India

An Immune India

Life  is a round circle , you realize it after few years of maturity . As I child my mother insisted on few daily habits till I got married ran away from all rituals ( I found her very nagging by the way J) . To start it , she strongly believed in aurvedic / herbal treatments & routine to follow –
Ø Start day with 1 liter of luke warm water
Ø Followed by almonds ,apricot , DABUR HONEY & tulsi.
Ø Milk is must in breakfast with DABUR CHANPARASH
Ø Curd & dal a must in lunch & dinner

Ø And not to miss , that sour lemon everyday .

She insisted that being Vegetarian we ought to follow few habits. These were necessary for me to have during my days with her . As for her she read & cooked with healthy possible options with special  masala’s , ginger & garlic.

She followed a lot more for herself as she was obsessed with health & had all time for herself after we grew up J.
I was more of a cheese & coke person & hated all possible health options J.
So I ditched following all rituals after marriage.

But I soon realized that what was insisted on was necessary.
After marriage I would have cold & cough frequently .
( By the way I never had viral / cold/ head ache  before ,till age 21 )
Would go in for crocin cold cough or visit doctor , but never gave a serious thought to itL.
Till one day ,I felt really ill . Was hospitalized that diagnosed  Vitamin D , B12 , B3 , Calcium deficiencies and sever migraine & acidity to top it. I did’nt remembered my last healthy meal by the way L.This was a situation of 26 year old youngster ( by the way I was regular to gym also & took protein shakes too)
Now it was turn of my mother to step in J. She soon made me realized that it was high time to get back to some basic healthy habits .After 5 days of hospitalization it did’nt took me much time to accept & realize how I have ruined my WONDERFUL immune system to weak body that looks healthy from face of it.
I got back to my previous routine & soon coped up . I gained back same immune system & also got rid of migraine attacks within 6 months .
Today I am 36 yr & have two wonderful daughters & as I started life is a round circle , I insist on few things & am considered as annoying as my MOMMY by my daughters J.
I learned it my way after hitting rock bottom L but will try to make them understand before J.

To summarize , would like to state  here that developing an immune system not only help us to be healthy but also goes a long way in making INDIA stronger.
With Baba ji blessing always ::::  Stronger minds , Stronger bodies leads to Stronger INDIA .

Platinum day of Love

Love , Romance , Candle Light , Chocolates , Roses , Diamonds .......all were there in my life through my teens .
I felt Babaji was very kind to me , I was fortunate to have a partner who I knew  from college days .
He was love of my life & adored me ,gifted me religiously. We got married after my completing our post graduations . With blessing of our parents & relatives we got married . Things were great , could’nt have asked for better . We were young married couple having lucrative MNC”S job , enjoying all possible facilities which money can buy , be it big cars , foreign vacations plus one heart in two bodies.
After 5 years of marriage , our relatives & parents started asking for new addition in family . I was looking forward for it too .Was in early 30’s & had my share of “ bindass masti”


Again was fortunate enough to conceive as & when we wanted . I strongly feel Sai baba has been a magical force in my life. Not only was I expecting but also was blessed with Twin joy .
Was told in 2 nd month of pregnancy that I was expecting twins . Our joy was doubled !
With all possible support & blessings , I gave birth to two daughters . As any Super mom, I thought I would go back to work after 6 months .But I was a failure or perhaps too emotional . I tried hard 1 st year , but I noticed health of my angles going down day by day. Both daughters born were under weight ( which twins normally are) , but they were unable to gain weight during course of time .I was guilty & decided to give up work !
But as all great things cannot go on forever , our honeymoon period also had to ended  as responsibilities added in our life . I left work , gained lot of weight post pregnancy , was running after kids 24*7 & gave NO importance to anything else in life . My husband & parents , would force help on me but I wanted to do all myself. Soon i realized , my husband did’nt  care now . He became busy in his flourishing corporate career. His daily routine did’nt change after kids . He went to gym , took good care of himself & even started sleeping in different room .

After two years I looked like a Fat Frustrating Zombie running after two toddlers , whereas he was still a bachelor in looks & heart . Over a period of time , I started believing that there was NO love between us.
We got into argument every time we interacted , so much so that I started talking of separation.
Guess he felt same , at least I thought so . Till one day he gave a call to me & formally asked me out on a candle light dinner alone ( specifically). I was hesitant as my toddlers were use too of just me .
After few convincing statements from him , I agreed .
We decided to go on  date to Trident  . I realized there was nothing I was fitting in . I managed to get in sarree with a stretch halter neck blouse.
We landed in Trident & I was surprised to see the look in his eyes . He was actually same guy I married 8 yrs back . He looked mesmerized with my appearance & looked exited for a  date with his 8 year old Wife.


I was feeling excited , nervous with a man who I knew from past 15 years . Then to my shock he puts his hand in pocket & hands me this awesome looking solitaire earrings and apologizing for not being good husband and father. Was guilty too , for not being good wife either , so apologized too.
Beneath me I promised myself to take care of my own self too , besides the bundle of joy.
We had discovered our “ Platinum day of love today , after 15 years of togetherness “
He promised more  time to family & I to myself. So much so that we have duties fixed for kids.
Like brushing & bathing babies is his , making them sleep & eat is mine .( Though we exchange at times J)
Thank you Babaji , hope you always keep us blessed
