Pradita Kapahi / May 24, 2017

If familiarity breeds contempt,

I think I’m better off alone.

Ultimately, we are all alone = we come alone and go alone

I feel being alone means we are guided by our inner voice.

  That is true. I also feel being around too many people all the time kills your inner voice so that you stop thinking for yourself and start acting like the others around you are behaving.

Your room, my room || When I was a child I never quite understood why parents, including mine, would ask their children to keep to their rooms, even when we were old enough to not wreck the house; why we weren't allowed to play in the living room; why we couldn't put up posters and our decorations on 'our' room walls. There were do's and dont's that went beyond the reasons of 'safety' and 'aesthetics', into the realm of whims. . . As parents we think that houses only belong to us. 'You should do that just because this is' my' house' is something we've all used. Houses may belong to some, but 'homes' belong to everyone in the family 👨‍👩‍👧🏘️ . . I've had my fair share of meltdowns when my daughter drew on the walls or on the furniture, when she chipped woodwork because she wanted to play drums, when she still sticks her artwork with scotch tape on every single wall in the house and calls them her 'decorations'. Oh yes, I've lost it. Bad. I've been like most parents. I've thrown away her precious decorations that she took so much time and effort setting up. . . But there are times when I have to remind myself that this is her house too. She maybe a child but she shares this space with us and when she can share a life with us then a house is just four walls. So she can venture into the living room and turn a blue curtain into her beach. She can use my singing bowl as a boat for her teddy. She has every right to stick up her sketches with tape on the walls. And she can replace the family pic in this photoframe with a hand drawn piece of art for mumma because she can (Mumma's proud of it too). Also, it's not limited to the house. Mumma is her artwork too, as you can see 😂🎨🤩 . Children aren't zoo animals to be confined in enclosures and a home is hardly a place for erecting boundaries. . . #noboundariesathome #freedomathome #childhood #parenthood #makingtherightchoices #parentswhocare #motherdaughterbondingtime #fiveyearoldsrock

While going through some old things today, I found a few old #diaries and sketch books of mine. Some from as far back as the year #2001! . . What I learnt, as I riffled through the pages, was that the mind of a #teenager is a very convoluted place where delusion marries reality 😂😂. . . I enjoyed revisiting some entries; laughed, shook my head at others while some others filled me with regret for how things happened, but yet again I couldn't bring myself to throw them away 🤷‍♀️ . . #journals are not just paper and wasted time. They're selfies of your past. Maps to your brain, to who you truly are. . . I guess I'll always keep them around as a reminder of where I came from. . . Do you write journals too? Why? . . #poetsofinstagram #spilledink #wordporn #wordplay #journals #diaries #memoriesofmine #poetryporn #amateurpoet #igpoetsofindia #diaryentry #oldjournals

Wishing everyone miles of smiles and prosperity. Happy Lohri, Sankrant, Uttarayan and Pongal 🌾🌽🎑🎋🙏💞 . . #indianfestivals #uttarayan #pongal #makarsankranti #lohri #harvestseasonindia

I'm glad my LO shares my love for animals. The way she relates to them, cares for them makes me believe I must be doing something right. . . #animallover #goatsandlambs #littlelambs #animalsofinstagram

Look what I found @mrinalininehra, @fraulien_mall and #SwatiRPisal. The Fantastic Four of Symbiosis Law School. College wouldn't have been fun without you guys. . . #missingcollegelife #symbiosislawschoolpune #memoriesofcollege #bffs #galpals #bestiesforlife

Daddy-daughter arty mornings. Ahem, there are certain objectionable 'things' on the board, but I'll let it go this time, @lordgvk . . #daddysgirl #artymorningsathome #artathome #doodle #daddydaughtertime

Fall means lots of Greens in a typical #NorthIndian household - #Methi (#fenugreek), #spinach, #sarson (#mustardGreens), #amaranth greens, #bathua (chenopodium album) and my favourite, radish greens. . . In #GarhwaliCuisine, the white radish plays an important part as a Subzi (pictured here), as a curried dish called #thichaundi (another favourite) , as stuffing for #flatbreads and of course, as Salad & pickle. There's so much that #radishes can offer but surprisingly here in Pune, I found no takers for the Vitamin C rich other half of the #mooli. Come fall, I go from vendor to vendor asking for the top-half of radishes and everyone looks at me like I'm from another planet. One condescending #bhajiwala even told me - usko toh hum phenk dete hain (we throw them) and indeed I've seen people wrenching away the greens and taking only the radishes. My heart bleeds! 💔I would pay extra for those greens, don't throw them away, please 🙏. . . Pictured here is a dry subzi made only from #radishgreens, with a #tadka of #jakhya, #hempseeds, green chillies and salt to taste. Unbelievably simple to put together but so delicious! 😋😋😋 . . So what's your favourite thing about the radish? . . #garhwaliculture #Uttarakhandi #garhwaligirl #daikonradish

Vintage beauty 😍 . . . #vintagecars #oldcars #vintage
