Since it was my appointment with my physician, I must go for it after attending my session at AMAL. I travelled in public transport where I met a baby girl. She was about six years old and looking pretty in green dress she wore. She has to stand in bus as her mom has carried her younger brother. I understood their situation and asked the baby girl to sit in my lap. At first, she refused for being unfamiliar to me. After I insisted her and asked her mother’s permission, she agreed to sit. Then she became friendly with me due to my appreciation for her. As a result, my journey has passed beautifully talking with that young baby. I enjoyed her company more because I was seeking for young babies to spend hours with them to recall my childhood and be more enthusiastic.

Me and the Baby Girl

I often listened from my elders that gift is one of the good ways to show love. Since when I am known to this quotation, I used to buy presents not only for my friends and family but also for me. It is my strong belief that self love is important just to be alive. I often used to gift myself and surprised myself through chocolates. Today, I did such kind of good act to myself but I changed the present this time. Because it was a surprise, so guess what I presented myself today to feel appraised. Today, I showed love to myself by ordering Fudge Brownie from one of the famous kitchen “The Cheffry” belonged to one of my good friends. I felt loved after having each single bite of the sweet. Since one of my friend has her birthday, I ordered Oreo Nutella Cheesecake from my friend’s kitchen “The Cheffry”. The gift made her day and she felt delighted after receiving it.

Spending time with yourself and nature is also a kind gift one can give to oneself. I learnt a lot during my observation and summed up with these words that “This is the Nature only felt through heart, which continuously proliferates the peace and instigates the patience.I am adding one of the photos which I shoot during my good time with nature.

Nature and Peace

Every person has uniqueness which means that he/she has been blessed with unique qualities, interests and abilities. Since I am also a unique and interesting person, so I have few activities which stimulates me. One of those activities is cooking which I made today for my family just to make myself freshen and keep myself motivates. Because I believe that cooking is about making something delicious for some else, which is a great way to show love and kindness. My family was feeling very happy for the yummy food I cooked for them. Guess what I cooked for my family. These were the vegetable pulao, the cutlass and the mutton. Here I am sharing the photo of one the items I cooked.

The Vegetable Pulao

Life is the art of drawing without an eraser. My younger sister is an example of it. In simple words, I can say she has practiced a lot to draw things on paper without erasing them just one is living his/her life with grace. Today, she sketched a girl (anonymous) and showed me her talent. I appreciated her and she felt much inspired. In excitement, her words uttered, “I will work hard to my best in studies as I did in this drawing”.
