ये है मेरी श्रीमती जी , जीवन में कब क्या हो जाए यह कोई नहीं जानता, मै अपने दोस्तों के साथ 14 15 ,16 अप्रैल को बाहर घूमने गया था, जब 16 अप्रैल को मैं घर पहुंचा तो श्रीमती जी ने मुझे बताया कि उसके ब्रेस्ट में कुछ गांठ जैसा है, जो कि बहुत छोटा है लेकिन मैने इसे गंभीरता से लिया और इसकी जांच करवाई, बायोप्सी पेट स्कैन जितने भी जांच हो सकते है सब करवाया और रिज़ल्ट हमारे सोच से विपरीत आया, कैंसर कन्फर्म हो गया ब्रेस्ट के साथ थायरॉइड ग्रंथि में कैंसर डिटेक्ट हुआ है , अचानक जब ऐसा होता है तो पैरों के तले जमीन खिसक जाती हैं, पर हमारी श्रीमती जी ने हौसला बनाए रखा, यह तस्वीर सर्जरी से ठीक पहले की है जिसमें उसे हंसते हुए आप देख सकते हैं, मैने 28 अप्रैल के बाद जितने भी पोस्ट किए हैं वो सब हॉस्पिटल के आस पास की ही तस्वीरें हैं जब कभी मन भारी होता तो यही सोशल मीडिया में कुछ पोस्ट करके अपने आप को मनाने की कोशिश करता मेरी बड़ी बहन 24/7 जो मेरी श्रीमती जी का ध्यान रखी है, उसे मै शब्दों में बयां नहीं कर सकता, हम वैसे भी संयुक्त परिवार में रहते हैं, आज इतना तो समझ आ गया कि संयुक्त परिवार का महत्व क्या होता है सर्जरी भी सफल हो गई और कल हम हॉस्पिटल से डिस्चार्ज करवा कर घर भी आ गए, अब आगे का जो प्रोसीजर है कीमो और रेडिएशन वह छह महीन चलना है, इन सब में एक बात मैं अपने दोस्तों से कहना चाहता हूं, अपने सुख सुविधाओं में थोड़ी कमी कर के हेल्थ इंश्योरेंस जरूर करना चाहिए, मुझे जो फैसलिटी मिली है केयर हेल्थ इंश्योरेंस की तरफ से वह काबिल ए तारीफ़ है हमारा पूरा इलाज कैशलेश में हो रहा है, थोड़े बहुत टेस्ट के पैसे जरूर लगें है और उतना तो चलता है, मेरा आप सभी मित्रों से निवेदन है दुआ करना कि मेरी श्रीमती जी जल्दी ठीक हो जाए अब जिम्मेदारी कहीं ज्यादा हो गई है..!! Love you My dear wife ❤️

@hanak0103 I would suggest finding a local tailor who will pre stitch the saree so that you can simply wear it like a wrap around skirt and fasten with button. Its hassle free and good option for occasional saree wearers.

サリー選んでたら、通りすがりのインドの女の子が着せてくれた🥻 本当はパステルカラーが良かったけど、選んでくれたし…と思ってこの色を購入。 生地によって着付けの難易度が変わるらしい🤔 300ルピー💸

@hanak0103 This is a classic and traditional colour combination ... You look lovely 😍

@CandidShweta So heartwarming ❤️

Look what I found him learning today on his ipad!!! He is 13, has Autism. He is very spiritual and is born with dharmik bend. Whenever I worry for his future and feel sad he gives me such a proud moment, a reminder that things will be fine. #myson

@NalinisKitchen If you didn't make the base or sauce or used good quality and real cheese its not pizza. Also with real and quality ingredients it can't be made with only Rs. 55/-. What you made is toast. I am a baker and never in my 15 years experience have I made pizza that cheap.

I made veg pizza at home and it was actually better than Dominos. My parents usually don't like pizza or burger things, but this time they loved it and ate 2 pizzas. I bought the fresh veggies and cheese myself so no fear of fake cheese. Dominos charges ₹200-350 and mine cost me approx. ₹55. Try it once. It's worth it.

@dissproportion My 16 year old doesn't argue or engage. Infact he is agreeable & replies with "on it Mumma", " yes mumma" everytime I tell him to do something. That's about it. He promptly forgets or ignores the chore after that. So every task needs atleast 3 reminders till he eventually does it

My patience is ten times more tested by adolescents than toddlers. Toddlers are amateurs. My 12 and 14 year olds are artisans. [I hear the 14yo set a dish on counter] Me: please put your bowl in the dishwasher 14yo: what bowl? Me: the one that left your hand ten seconds ago 14yo: that’s a plate Me: please just put it in the dishwasher 14yo: what? Me: your dish 14yo: the dishwasher is clean Me: no it isn’t, it’s dirty. Put your plate in there. 14yo: [brother] has to unload it first Me: he unloaded it this morning. I saw him with my own eyes 14yo: the magnet says it’s clean Me: then the magnet is wrong, please, just do what I ask 14yo: what? Me: put your dish in the dishwasher!!! And flip the magnet!!! 14yo: that’s [brother’s] job. He should have to reload the dishes since he didn’t flip the magnet Me: PUT YOUR DISH IN THE DISHWASHER!!! 14yo: can you do it? I’m all the way over here now

@amshilparaghu Start cooking. It will not only save a lot money, it with make you efficient, healthier & keep you happily occupied. You can opt for simple 1 pot meals at night and prep for the next day. Buy fresh vegetables and fruits. Swiggy/ Zomato is for convenience, don't make it a habit.

She has a genuine question for people living in cities like Bengaluru… Can you answer her?

@GanKanchi Men need all the emotional support they can get coz they tend to lose a lot while fending for a better life. They ignore the social aspect & their personal connections in life. As wives/ girlfriends/moms it is our job to keep them emotionally connected, they aren't wired to do it

Confessions and realities 42M, 55LPA I am a 42-year-old man with a senior job in IT. I have a house in Chennai, a supportive wife, and two children. On paper, everything about my life looks perfect. I have achieved all the things society says a man should achieve. In my twenties, life felt different. I had friends to spend time with. We would hang out at Marina Beach and Besant Nagar beach, watch movies at Rohini, Udayam, and Kasi theatres, and ride around Mount Road on my RX100. In my thirties, I had colleagues to talk with over tea breaks. We would discuss apartments, onsite trips, and share random stories about life and work. But now, in my forties, life has turned into a quiet routine. My phone rarely rings for anything personal. Most calls are about office work, bank alerts, or someone from home asking me to pick up milk on the way back. The loneliness of a man in his forties is unusual. I am not physically alone, but I often feel like a machine. When I enter my home, I am simply “Appa.” I am the person who pays school fees, fixes the Wi-Fi, and handles repairs. My wife is busy with her work and the kids. My children are teenagers now, living in their own worlds and their own rooms. They love me, but they mostly see me as the person who provides comfort and stability. They no longer see me as an individual. At the office, I am the senior person. I am expected to have all the answers. I cannot tell my team that I feel tired. I cannot tell my boss that I sometimes struggle to keep up with new technologies. I must appear confident and strong, even when I quietly worry about the future. Sometimes I drive home slowly from work just to spend a few extra minutes in the car. I listen to songs from my college days. For those fifteen minutes, I am not a manager or a father. I am simply myself again. I realize that I have not had a real conversation about my feelings with anyone in years. My old friends now exist mostly as names on WhatsApp. We send “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations” messages, but rarely talk. When we meet at weddings, our conversations revolve around our children’s grades or the cars we drive. We never talk about what we actually feel. The hardest part is that I cannot even complain. If I tell my family that I feel lonely, they look confused and say, “But we are all here with you.” They do not understand that a person can be surrounded by people and still feel like they are on a desert island. Society teaches men that if they provide money and security, they have succeeded in life. But no one teaches us how to deal with the silence that comes with it. I have built a beautiful life for everyone around me, but sometimes it feels like there is no space left for me inside it. And maybe… this is what life in your forties feels like.

@GanKanchi This is what I spoke about just last night, humans are social animals & even if they are surrounded by people not having someone to open up your real feelings to feels extremely lonely. As the woman of our house I make it a point connect on emotional level with my husband and son

@FallenSphereLL My son looked exactly like his dad even as a premature newborn...he has the same narrow face, chin dimple And large eyes with long eyelashes... Even my Gynec laughed and told me, "your baby looks so much like his dad he can't be switched"😂😂

When I was born 30 years ago, my dad yanked me from the hands of a nurse because he said "the child the hospital gave back to me didn't look like mine" The nurses called him crazy, threatened to call the cops. But when he questioned them: If you took the id bracelets off when you give new borns showers and there are a dozen and more new borns here, how can you be sure that you haven't mixed up one kid from the other?" The nurses weren't sure, because they let my dad keep the baby he forcebily took 30 years later, DNA test proved he was right that night

@seriousfunnyguy Ok he could have given the autograph but at the same time the kid needs to learn to handle rejection. He can't and won't get everything he wants in life.

All this boy wanted was an autograph from Virat Kohli on his bat. How much time does it take to sign for a fan who definitely looks like a cricket player? On the other hand the busiest man of India pauses in the middle of his rally to accept sketches made by children only to not leave them disappointed. These are 2 sides of celebrity-fan mutual respect.

@yesofficialraja Also rajma chawal. And before anyone comes at me with "you must have not eaten good Rajma" , I have, I still don't like it. Maybe its a textural thing for me, I dont like the base taste of Rajma.

What Indian food is this ?

@yesofficialraja Tarri poha, Indori poha, dadpe pohe, kanda poha... basically any kind of poha😄

@learning_yohei Right now it 45°C and humid where I live. 🤷🏻‍♀️

インド人の皆さん、日本からこんにちは🇯🇵😄 日本の夏は本当に暑いです。最高気温は40度くらいです🥵 インド人に質問があります🇮🇳🤔 インドも夏は暑いと聞きました。インドの夏の最高気温はどれくらいですか？😄

@gharkekalesh Due to its high water content watermelon is prone to spoiling very easily. The same is with juices, chutneys & salads which should be eaten fresh & from known sources only. Avoid them at weddings and big functions since we don't know their preparation time.

@gharkekalesh I heard of a similar case in 1999 where 2 best friends died due to food poisoning from watermelon. I was in college at the time & we used to get cut watermelon on roadside carts. My dadu told me strictly to never eat it & always eat watermelon within an hour of cutting.

Mumbai: Family of 4 d!es from suspected food poisoning after eating watermelon. They had biryani with relatives at night, then watermelon around 1 AM. Vomiting & diarrhea started in the morning all 4 (parents + 2 daughters) d!ed in hospital. Only watermelon-eaters affected; samples sent for testing.

@harimenon_bb We all have mango preferences but my son eats all varieties with much love! I have always faced issue with non availability of stock of mangoes on big basket though.😔

You simply can't budge on somethings no matter how much you try. At my home, this happens to be the case for mangoes. My favourite has always been the Banganapally... whereas Shanthi is a Lalbagh Sindhura loyalist. For years, we've both made hilariously detailed arguments for why our respective mango deserves a reconsideration by the other. Needless to say, neither of us has moved an inch. While the debate still goes on... we've retired the idea of winning it. 😅 And @bigbasket_com is quite supportive of this arrangement. Different favourites… all in one place. 🥭🥭 #weekendmusings #mangoes #bigbasket

@greenfuzon @surajitdasgupta Yes true, My son addresses his father as "aap" and I am addressed with "tu". Infact everyone else other than his younger cousins or friends are addressed by him with "aap". I taught him to address me with "tu" as I wanted the casualness and familiarity.

@surajitdasgupta one thing about indian children... they address their father with respect but their mother with familiarity. in hindi child addresses father with respectful 'aap' or gujarati 'tame' but mother with familiar 'tu'. why would that be?

This way of addressing an Indian does not work even outside the domain of politics. In the Indian corporate sector, thanks to the predominance of American multinational companies, many executives find it modern and cool to address people by their first names. It’s a communication disaster outside their offices. When I refer corporate executives to some people of standing, and the executives address them with their first names, the reaction is always negative. An average Indian is taken aback, almost affronted, when a stranger calls him or her by his or her first name. The caller need not be a Bengali or an Urdu speaker from Lucknow, two communities generally known all over the country for their courteous language; an Indian finds anybody calling them by their first names disrespectful, if not insulting. If it’s a sales call, you cannot sell; if it’s an invitation, it will be declined; if it’s a parent calling a teacher or vice versa, the child will bear the repercussions — if you call the person by his or her first name. If speaking in English, prefix the second name with a Mr, Ms or Mrs. If the language is Hindi, suffix the name with “ji”. If it’s Bangla, add “babu” for men and “debi” for women. In yesteryears, they prefixed “shri” or “shrijukto” and suffixed “moshai” (mahashay) for men. “Debi” works for women both then and now. The only social arrangement where calling one by his or her first name works in India is one of utmost familiarity — like parents calling their children, siblings talking to one another, or an interaction between childhood friends.

@SarkariLOL @BefittingFacts 😂😂😂 I was there in 2019 with myy friend. Both of us had one heavy luggage of mithai which I was easily managing as it had a trolley. The coolies who were obviously international acted like lotharios seeing 2 women, pestering and walking too close for comfort!

@BefittingFacts Technically she is right filled with people of Bangladesh means ya its international.

@latsot My teenager is a foodie & you will find him eating everything from eggs,bacon, leftover biriyani, overnight oats, protein smoothie, toast, hummus n crackers, chicken curry rice, traditional Indian breakfast of idli, upma, poha, parathas, etc.. he doesn't care about rules at all!

Breakfast is weird. I often eat hummus for breakfast, as do many people around the world, but people tell me that's weird. OK, it's probably not all that usual for people in my country, but what are the rules? A bacon sandwich is OK, but a ham sandwich is not. Leftover pizza is acceptable, but a freshly cooked pizza isn't. Rice Krispies in, rice pudding out. What are the rules????
