A Healthy 'Nashta' at Guptaji's House

I am a working woman and a mother. I have to stay fit and healthy because of my job profile. When it comes to breakfast I have very little time to prepare it as I have to rush to office and prepare my little one for school. It’s easy for me to make something which is easy and fast to make. Apart from this it should have all the nutrients which would fulfill the daily amount of required nutrients for me and my family.

A light breakfast with low fat and good amount nutrients is good for a person’s health.  The only problem is the number of choices you have for a healthy breakfast. I always think of preparing something new for breakfast in the morning but end up making a simple butter toast for the entire family. Now, my kids have also started saying to me that you make a very boring breakfast for us.

When I read the recipes with guptaji’s family I liked them very much. The recipes are very nutritious and are good for a healthy breakfast. The recipes are very different from what I prepare in my daily routine and look very tempting. All the recipes are prepared with Kellogg’s cornflakes. I will try all the recipes one by one at my home also.

I will go to guptaji’s house for ‘nashta’ because I know I will have a good time with them. Their family seems to be very nice and courteous. I would ask them to make my favourite dish which I have selected from their recipe page which is First Crush Wala Nashta – Walnut Cornflakes Choco balls. I love chocolate and having something in breakfast with chocolate in it would be awesome. I have read the recipe and it’s easy to prepare and I know will not take much time for preparation. The ingredients of the recipe are chopped dark chocolate, chopped milk chocolate, ground cornflakes (lightly roasted), chopped walnuts and vanilla essence (oil based). You have to mix the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on a high for a minute or till chocolate melts, while stirring in between. Repeat, to make more balls and refrigerate till set.

I will try to learn all the recipes at guptaji’s house so that I can prepare some nice and different dishes in the breakfast for my family. My family loves variety in food and once I learn these recipes at guptaji’s house I will prepare all the recipes one by one at home. I know my kids will love all the dishes made with Kellogg’s cornflakes. It would be a pleasure visiting guptaji’s house for ‘nashta’, meeting everyone in their house and learning some nice and tempting dishes there.

A Day Spent with my Best Friend

There are problems in your life which you cannot share with your family. You can only share those problems with your friends.  Especially after marriage when you have to be cautious while telling things to your parents. They might get worried if they make out that you are not happy after marriage. I got married last year in winters. After marriage I started facing lot of issues from my in-laws. The issues were innumerable that sometimes the stress level was uncontrollable and I used to feel like sharing all my thoughts with my parents. 

I could not share my problems with my parents as it would make them more worried.  Luckily I had one friend with whom I used to share all my heart out. We were in school together and went to the same tuition center. We used to spend a very good time together. This time I thought of meeting her in person at our favourite place, where we used to have lunch sessions and gossip all the time before my marriage. I called her up and we planned to meet on Sunday at Connaught Place. I got up early in the morning on that Sunday. My husband asked me that "Where are you going early in the morning?" I told him that I am going to my mom’s place and asked him to drop me there. My house is very near from my in-laws place and it takes around 15 minutes to reach there.

I told my friend to pick me up from my mom’s place. As soon as my husband dropped me, I called her up and she reached my place in an hour. She has a very helpful nature and is ready to help friends whenever they want. We had a lot of chit-chat in the car and decided to go to White Waters for Lunch in Connaught place, our old meeting joint where we used to have gossip and discuss about our lives. I told her about my problems which I was facing post-marriage. She got married two months before my marriage. She gave me some nice suggestion on how to manage everything. She told me that you have to be patient in everything and need to handle things maturely.

Friends play a very important role in your life and they are ready to help you whenever you need them. After I met her I got strength and motivation which I needed to manage everything.  Meeting her and sharing my problems with her filled me with optimism. Now, it’s been six months since we met and I am able to manage everything at my in-laws. I followed the suggestions she gave me on how to manage things.

My Bold Step to Open my Dance School

Sometimes you have to take a bold step in your life to reach your aim in life. I had to go against my parents to achieve my goal in life. When I was small I liked dancing and wanted to be a choreographer. I joined dance classes when I was in fourth standard. I used to take part in dance competitions in my school and won many prizes. I won many prizes in Inter-school and state level competitions.  After my school, I did my English honors from Delhi University.

When my father asked me about what I will do next after studies, I told him that I want to be a choreographer. He was against my decision and told me to look for another career option as this would not help me in my life. I told him that I have a dream of opening my dance school. It was very difficult to convince him, but I finally managed to convince him.

I joined as a choreographer in a dance group. Our dance group used to give stage performances and over time our group became very popular. After a few months, due to internal clashed between the group members our dance group got split. Now, I was thinking that what I should do next. I had two options, either to join a dance group again or to open a dance school of my own. I decided that I should now open a dance school of my own.

The money which I earned when I was a choreographer in the dance group was not enough to open the dance school. I told about this to my father and he told me that I will give you the rest of the money which you require. I belonged to a middle class family and I know it was very difficult for my father to arrange money for my school in such a short time.

I started searching for a property to take on rent and found it in Central Delhi. As soon as I got the possession I started the dance school. The location was good and I started getting a good response within fifteen days. I enrolled 50 students in the first month and the number of students increased day by day. After two years, I earned a good amount of money and bought a property of my own. Now, I am running my dance school on my own property and my earnings have increased.

I took the bold step and opened a dance school of my own and now happy with the decision I took. I knew that I was doing the right thing. You have to believe in yourself and be confident of what you are doing.

Me and My Baby - My Look Up Story

I am a working women and it’s very difficult for me to maintain a balance between professional and personal life. I started my job soon after my marriage and from the day I joined I got busy in my office. I had too much of work load that I could not give much time at home. Doing job was a necessity for me to meet the expenses of our house. I used to have fights with my husband because I could not give time at home. My mother-in law was not happy with me because I could not give time for doing household work. She became very rude to me and things were getting worse day by day.

My mother-in law used to tell me to cook dinner daily for everyone but I couldn’t because after coming back from office I used to feel very tired. We used to have arguments daily on this topic of cooking dinner. It had become a prestige issue that who will cook the dinner. My family life was getting spoiled because of my office.

A few months later, I came to know that I am pregnant and I was very happy. I started to think that how will I manage all the things. The day came and I gave birth to a baby girl. After six months when my maternity leaves got over I joined my office. I had no option other than joining my office as there was a rise in the expenses after the baby. I was very scared because I knew that I would not be able to manage work as well as my family at the same time.

While coming from the office I was feeling very tired and knew that I would not be able to look after my baby. I was worried that I will have arguments with my husband or mother-in law about managing the house. I was planning to keep a maid for my baby. But when I reached home and saw my baby smiling, all my office stress and tensions were gone. I went to the kitchen prepared feed for my baby, washed all her clothes, prepared dinner for the entire family. All this energy came in me when I saw my baby smiling. My baby’s smile filled me with optimism and hope for the future.

Sometimes a small event in your life can bring a lot of positive changes in your life. My life got completely changed after the baby. I became more responsible and started to manage my family life and office more efficiently. Now, every day after coming back from office I prepare dinner for my whole family and do all the work of my baby alone.
