Sowmya's Blog... The Voice of a Girl!!!

Kids like fantasy --- yes, my little Samyu loves them too... And so I decided to tell her one little tale by choosing a hyperbolic figure of speech, that explains impossibility. And it is “ When Pigs Fly” . The story is simply structured to develop positive thinking when someone throws a totally impossible challenge before you. In our little tale, my sleeping baby “Saanvi”, displays enough zeal to make the most unlikely thing work in her way. As a part of my sleeping baby series, I generally imagine and make one picture, but for this I imagined every single bit of the story, resulting in something like this👇. "When Pigs Can Fly!!!" Now I started spinning a tale around my sleeping Saanvi for my little Samyu, which went like this... Title of the story :  When pigs 🐷 fly!!! Characters: Baby girl👶, Daddy👱‍♂️, piggies 🐷, Captain Ted 🐻 Story:               Once upon a time, there lived a little baby girl👧. She is all bubbly and had so many friends. She lo

My little Saanvi is 355 days old today... Well putting it the other way round - It is 10 days to go for my lovely Saanvi to enjoy her first birthday party and I seem so glad to share it with everyone reading this post. I was a bit stuck with some household chores all these days and could not really write anything in my blog .  But today I decided to take some time out click a picture of my little love and count on our blessings simply to make a memory. So this👇 is all I did.. . Well as always after clicking a picture of my Sleeping Saanvi, I decided to Spin a tale around the sleeping baby for my little Samyu (She seems to be growing fast now!!!). And this is what we ended up with. Title of the Story:   The Tiny Heart Gatherer... Character s: Elder sister👱‍♀️, younger sister👧 (Baby), Magical waters💦 and the little queenfish🐟. Story                         Once upon a time, there lived two little sisters 👯 . They are very loving and enjoyed playing together. The

I recently received a beautiful black box, within which I found a jute pouch. I was eager and so I quickly pulled the strings to open it and found out a very finely made passport holder with my very name engraved on it.  I felt a sense of fineness and could feel the quality of leather as I was holding this reddish brown premium beauty in my hands. It was sent to me from a friend from Urby .  The name might seem new but believe me, the product is just too good and can go it par with any huge brands.  This passport holder has--- Enough place to put up about 4 cards, in an easily accessible manner.  It is, of course, an exact fit for a 36-  page passport. However, an increase by another inch or two can make it wonderful even for a 60-page passport. Apart from the internal slots, there is also an external back slot to put up currency for instant access.  The idea of making it personalized by engraving a name pretty beautifully makes it a wonderful gifting optio

It has been more than a month since I posted something in my blog . And here I come up with something again. The story will be around this picture. Thief---Valmiki  While looking at the old pictures of my little Saanvi, I suddenly found a picture around which we forgot weaving a tale. I thought of making a tale around it. But then came Ramnavami and I quickly decided to tell the tale of the author of Ramayana, who is a wonderful example of transformation from bad to good to my little Samyu. Do you know??? Sage Valmiki, the author of the greatest Indian epics Ramayana, is a thief during his early stages. Let us quickly read the story of this great man.

             Since a few days, I felt like lots and lots of negativity was creeping around my little Samyu. She was so far a kid with an immense positive attitude but for diverse reasons, I felt that her positive outlook is slowly dropping and thought I should do something to build it back. So like always I decided to tell her a story which can help in building back her confidence and impact her positive outlook...

                       In my sister's recent visit, they got her little one tonsured. After that, we decided to dress her up as a little monk and it turned out like this.              Then I decided to spin a tale around this baby monk and the little girl for my little Samyu. While doing so, I suddenly remembered a lovely tale by Paramahansa Yogananda, which I once read. Here are some inputs from that little story narrated by me in a slightly different fashion for my little Samyu.   Items used apart from clothes include a  bowl ,  Squirrel  and  building blocks .

         Hats are one of the oldest known human accessories and they are celebrated on the national hat day, which falls on the 15th of January every year.

"A dream doesn't have an expiration date."                          I believe in this quote as dreaming can give wings to ones deep buried imaginative thi nking, and at times give birth to the goals.  A dream can become a goal, a goal broken into steps can become a plan and a plan coupled with action makes your dream come true. And here is my imagination as my little baby doll finds her dreams...       After having a small break, I started working again on my sleeping baby series. And as  I dress up my baby doll Saanvi (Yes now she got a name!!!), I suddenly remembered a small story my grandma told me when I was a child. So like always I started sharing it with my Samyu and here it is. Read along and enjoy our small story around my Sleeping baby, Saanvitha. Title of the Story: The daydreaming baby Milkmaid...

After watching Arabian nights for a while with my little Samyu, I decided to dress up my baby doll as the mighty loyal servant hidden in the lamp for years and years the- genie and it ended up like this. Then I decided to spin a little tale like always around my sleeping baby. This time I thought I would talk about something like keeping our surroundings clean with my lovely Samyu. And so we spun our story like this.

The little girl relaxed for a while on a hammock and started playing in the sand on the beach. She started making some sand castles. As she was digging deep, she found an old lamp buried deep in the sand

  Since the past few days, I was talking about things like patience, perseverance, kindness and more such important traits that I wish to inculcate in my little ones through my little moral stories, which I spun around my sleeping baby. Today is no different. So, I thought I will help my little Samyu learn the most mesmerizing magic word - “ THANK YOU .” For this, I choose the week after Thanksgiving day, as she told me about thanking her teachers and support staff back at her school by giving some flowers and cards. So, I quickly prepared the background for my sleeping baby, who eventually got up during our photo shoot to enjoy a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal, with her good friend the Minnie Mouse.           After clicking a few adorable sleeping baby pictures I along with my little Samyu started spinning a small story, which ended up like this.
