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

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. Title of the story : The Journey Of A Baby Thief👺 To The Greatest Saint🙏 - Valmiki Characters: Thief, family members of the thief, Narada. Story:                      O nce upon a time, there lived a sage called Prachetasa on the banks of river 🌊 Ganges. He had a son 👦 , who got lost in the jungle at a very t

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. Title of the Story:   The tidy tiny tot 👧 and the baby Genie  Characters: mother, little girl 👧, the genie Story                  Once upon a time, there lived a little lovely girl 👧 with her mother🤱. She is very sweet and always kept her surroundings clean and tidy. On a holiday both the mother and the little girl👧 went to play in the beach 🌊. 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

                    On Diwali, after having fun burning the crackers, my little Samyu looked for the moon in the sky, but could not find it. The next morning she got up and saw the sun and told that she did not find the moon during the night.  When asked she could clearly differentiate the night sky and the day sky but did not know why there is no moon or what will sun help us with.                      As I believe in the fact that stories are not just designed for entertainment, but also to simplify few proved facts in a funny way, I decided to introduce my little Samyu to a bit of astronomy. So I started dressing up my darling doll as the brilliant Sun, and it turned to be like this.                 Then to accomplish, what I wanted to do, I started spinning a tale around the same. And this is what I ended up with. Title:                              The Story of the Sun🌞 and its family ... Characters : Baby sun, planets, mommy, little girl. Story                  

                                         The other day while sitting on the couch at my mom's place, I was looking at some beautiful greens, which are decent and potted well. At the same time, unlike her nature, I saw my little Samyu ripping off the petals of a colorful flower. So, I thought I should tell my little love that it is not a fair thing to do and so imagined something like this. And this is how it turned out. And this is the tale I spun around my sleeping baby for my little Samyu. Title of the Story:                        Flower child and the Cursed girl Characters: a little girl, the hare, Mother Nature, flower child. Story                     Once upon a time, there lived a little girl who was very playful. She looked very pretty but was very harsh towards nature and greens. She used to break every tiny twig, pull out all the leaves and crumble flowers from any plant she came across.                    One day as she was playing she came

                              I always doubt if babies really dream while sleeping, but looking at their cute little innocent face, we can start imagining several things. Today, I imagined my little love enjoying a snowy night but my little darling has grown more than her age. And now my imagination gave life to a little old lady, whom my daughter called the Granny in Snow. Now here is my tale around this pretty little granny in the snow for my Samyu. Hope you love this small story spun for my sweet Samyu. Title of the Story: Squirrel and the 👵  granny in snow ❄️ Characters : an old woman, squirrel Story              Once upon a time, there lived an old woman, who is kind and generous but poor. She lived in a small shack, with many holes on its roof. Near the hut is a very big tree 🌲, which is a home for several creatures, one of which is a tiny garden squirrel. On a cold night when it is raining snow, ❄️ the little squirrel could not stand the cold any longer a

                          Imagination is the key to keep the creativity flowing and stories are a brainchild of one's imagination. Stories can not only build in creative interests in kids but will also help in developing love, sharing, forgiving and helping nature in kids, which I believe are the key ingredients of a happy living. Here is a bit of my imagination, while my baby is sleeping.               Now as I am doing it for a few days, here is a small story spun around my imagination to keep my intriguing little love, Samyu, occupied with her thoughts and learn something out of it. Title of the Story: Rob and the 👶Baby Corn Cob 🌽 Characters: Baby 👶 corn cob 🌽, Rob the squirrel 🐿, Story                     Once upon a time, there lived a little girl 👧, who loved gardening.

 " Despite having a million things to do, it is very difficult to look away from a sleeping baby."                     I see this quote truly makes sense with time. I see myself more fascinated with my sleeping baby, who just pulls me more towards her as a tiny magnet. her innocent face helps me imagine several things. So, here is what I imagined this time and this is how it looked.  As usual, after this, I started thinking of a tale to tell my little Samyu. But this time it was a bit different. My sweet little sleeping baby just woke up to hear the tale and started to sparkle her killer smile, as it was her dad, who started weaving a story around her for our little Samyu.  And the story goes like this... Title of the Story: The Baby Arab and the Camel 🐪 Characters: Baby Arab, camel 🐪, the bad guy. The Story                Once upon a time there lived a baby Arab, who was very good and friendly. He used to sell date fruits grown in the

                     My little princess is out since 50 days and I thought the best way to let my family and friends know that is by creating something crazy. So I imagined and created this.               But when I showed the same to my Samyu, she asked me what is it all about? So I thought I should spin a tale around the picture . And so I started a little story by recollecting something similar I read ages ago and by adding bits to keep her curiosity high. And this is how it sounded like in the end. Title of the Story: Clouds ⛅️  and the crimson clothed baby👼 Characters: Clouds, a little girl, 👧 crimson clothed baby, 👼 mother, 🤱 the queen 👸 The Story               Once upon a time, in a kingdom called “Greed”, lived a cute little baby 👼 with her mother 🤱,  who had a very special gift.

            Do babies dream while sleeping? They sparkle an involuntary smile as well as a smirk in their sleep as if they are in their own dreamland. Looking at my pretty princess sleeping happily and doing the same, I thought she was in her own dreamland. I then decided to imagine my own dreamland, dress her up and spin a tale around my sleeping baby for my little Samyu, who is extremely fascinated by the small stories I tell to feed her and to put her to sleep.  I always wanted to tell the story of a butterfly 🦋 which develops from a caterpillar 🐛 as it has several life lessons to learn. So I quickly dressed up my sleeping baby like this and started to spin my tale around the pictures. The baby queen My Lovely Butterfly Title of the story: The baby queen 👸 and the butterfly 🦋 Characters : The baby queen, sister, 👸  mother🤱, a soldier and a butterfly🦋                                                                                 The Story

               Babies are always adorable and a sleeping baby is more like a doll - cute enough to stare at and lovely to cuddle with. No wonder one can spend hours together looking at one such sleeping baby. They can also be turned into beautiful memories if one can imagine things. And here is the life to my imagination. This is all that I did with my little love while she was busy sleeping and dreaming in her own imaginary land. And then I started to spin a tale around this picture of my cute sleeping baby, simply to please my sweet little Samyu.

                Bedtime can be considered as one important piece of time we tend to spend with our kids. A proper bedtime routine will not only help in maintaining our child’s health but can also help them to recharge and wake up well rested with a healthy brain.
