100 Happy Days: Day 34 Maid is back.


Happiness is when maid returns to work after 10days vacation.



In India, we are too pampered. The day maid informs that she has to go to see her family in the village, is when our BP shoots up.

During my visits abroad, it is not a big deal to clean the house, wash the dishes and do other odd jobs but back home it is just not done.

I asked my maid to get me a replacement, her daughter came, helped me with clothes, dishes and house, but still there was too much dust in the house. I have trained my maid to do the kind of work that I like, her daughter does not meet that standard, but well, she is temporary so no complains.

After ten days of her visit to her village, when she returned today, I almost jumped with joy….

100 Happy Days: Day 33 Design on my Mobile Cover.


Happiness is splashing your creativity on your mobile covers.



There are hundreds of mobile covers in the market. Different covers for different models. They all sell because we get tired of same design in our hands.

I was tired of seeing one white color on my mobile cover for too long and wanted change. Went to different kiosks looking for one particular color. I wanted light purple. There were blues, greens, blacks and white but no purple. The salesman told me to wait for few weeks.

So while I waited for the right color to arrive, I dabbled on my acrylic paints. Painted strips of three different colors horizontally and finally coated with black mesh. It looks different, its unique. I am sure nobody else will have this design except me.

 It looks branded now. I am happy with the result

100 Happy Days: Day 32 Creative designs.


Happiness is learning a new technique.

Recently I went to Vikhroli Skin to attend this art and craft exhibition. Everything on display was handcrafted article. This is my main field of interest. I love watching people work on creative stuff. There were greeting card, origami, paper art and many more, but one particular art that caught my attention was about this man working on a glass surface.



I had learnt the technique of glass painting but this was altogether a different technique. This person was creating beautiful design by just sticking a colored adhesive paper on a glass.



From a distance you would feel this to be a glass painting but a closer look will reveal that this is a collage of colored paper. The artist made a drawing on a paper. The strips of colored adhesive paper were traced and cut out. They were then stuck on the glass, strip by strip, with great precision.

It is just a cut and paste method, but a time consuming activity that requires lot of concentration and patience and the results are amazing.

Happy to learn this new technique

100 Happy Days: Day 31 Painless Day.


Happiness is ‘experiencing relief after many days of pain’.



My lane has been under construction since last three months. They repaired the water pipes, made new footpaths on either side of road and tarred the road. It is very unsafe to walk, even for abled person. Besides dust and stones, the road is uneven. Everyday, neighbors complained of injuries, some of foot sprains and some of knee pain. I was careful and avoided going out but then, how long can one be confined at home?

Work has to be done, life cannot come to standstill, and one must venture out. I dared. And so, I fell too on my knees on a slippery footpath. The pain was intense. Homebound, I have suffered for 20 days.

Pain is the cross one must carry alone. We can share happiness, our moments of joy but pain has no company. Visitors came to cheer me up but they could never reduce my pain. I spend many sleepless nights fighting with pain.

Our body has an amazing power of healing itself. All we need is to take proper rest and let it heal.

Today, after more than 20 days, I have experience a relief. It feels good to be painless again…..

100 Happy Days: Day 30 Sunday is a special Day.


Happiness is ‘reserving Sundays for family gapshup’.



Sunday is the day of rest; it is a day to spend quality time with close family members. It could be at home or at the social club or even at the beach. 

The idea is to maintain a bond amongst the family members.

This has been a custom in my family since many years. During my growing up years, Mom insisted that there be no appointment with friends for any movie or outings, Sunday to be reserved for family get together.  Every Sunday, we met, aunts, uncles and cousins, together we would spend day eating, chatting, joking, playing board games, we even fought sometimes, but love was the common string that tied us all.

All my cousins are close to me and I thank my elders for creating such a bond. 

And I also thank them for this tradition of spending Sundays with close knit family, the custom which is observed till date. I don't make any appointments with friends for any event, if that can be helped. 

Sunday is a family day.
