You remember Tom Sawyer? The chap that got his friends to paint a fence? Selling it to them as a premium thing?
When it was my turn to keep the girls busy, a giant leaf was taken out the ‘Mark Twain book. We decided to ‘play’ “collecting the leaf”. The next you know the garden was clean and the kids wanted new gardens to explore ‘tomorrow’. For they were tired after many hours of ‘play’! #leaf #leaves #garden #kids #girls #arrangement #shoes #girlsfashion #TomSawyer #daughters #daughterdiaries #fatherdaughter #kids #parenting @parentous #MarkTwain #literature #Sundays

The girls played well!
We were at the garden. The daughter and her friends. And me. Tasked with minding the girls.
Every such task I lap up with energy. For it teaches me the journeys that I have gone through and an opportunity to gawk at the magic of creation.
Amidst the games we played, the most enjoyed one was called “Yellow Flowers”. It had no rules and no boundaries. Other than running about and picking yellow flowers.

The morning reminded me that it takes very little to be happy. A child like imagination and curiosity will get us all there.

How do you build good habits? Well, for one, you start early! The litter bin in a park is a good example. 🙂 #London #litter #daughterdiaries #park #Travel #traveldiaries #habits #character #kids #education #play #swachhbharath

A travesty?
No. Something stronger than that. Quick, am searching for a simple word that conveys with consummate ease. Could you help ne?

A word to hold the following thought string : “to travel all the way to a place and not indulge in what the place offers’. I have been thinking of it for a while.
Then comes this Belgian chocolate. The awesome friends we are with in Belgium, indulge my little miss with.
After tasting it, taking in a portion of it and rolling my eyes in sweet joy, I found the word.
SIN.

There are many parts of a culture that you become instantly present to when you notice how apart from your own they are.. One such is the culture of cycling that is so present in Amsterdam and other parts of the Europe. It’s obvious that a combination of different things that has come together to make it possible : a tradition. A mindset. Investments. Laws. Infrastructure. Etc et!

I haven’t been more taken as when I get to see babies clinging on to their seats, securely strapped and safely saddled. With love, care and a bit of a frenzy that their mom’s legs kick up as they pedal away.

Completely oblivious to this stranger standing in awe.

45000 people are running the TCS Amsterdam marathon today. The expo was vibrant with sporty people and movement!
Amidst the legs that shuffled around, were little feet. Someday, hopefully they too will run and discover the many joys of running. Inspiration can come in many shapes and sizes! 🙂 #Amsterdam #TCSAmsterdamMarathon #hopes #future #littlemiss #daughterdiaries #Running #marathon
