Pick a flower that doesn’t hurt. Profound and beautiful.

Great one Pradita.
Perhaps I am a bit different as I wouldn’t mind some thorns to get to a Rose

  Thanks KJ. But my point in writing this quote was that vanity often harbors an underlying flaw in some people, and that those who may get attracted to vain people may ultimately be left heartbroken because vain folks often only care about themselves. By all means this metaphor may also apply to some hard-to-get people who are otherwise very good. Like me😝. I’ve been told that my first impression is that of being a snobbish person 🤣

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

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
