My First Field Trip - Ardenwood Farm

Yesterday i went to a field trip along with Amy [ my daughter ] as a volunteer from her class. I am new to this place [ Fromont ] and dont have a car to drive so, it was basically Amy's friend's mother who asked me to volunteer for the class - trip. I heard a lot about the "field-trip". So was really excited to be part of it . I was in charge of 2 kids. Their class teacher was not been able to go, so it was basically "4 Mom-Volunteer" who were there to manage the class.
We started from the school from 9:30 am and we were there in the "Ardenwood Farm" by 10am. It was really great to go along with the kids and Amy was super excited to see that i am there to help her class out. We spent the entire day with visiting the different aspect of this farm. Back in India i am too much familiar with such farms but for the kids here it is a total new experience and all of them were enjoying a lot. Some kids are over enthusiastic, where as some are less excited, some of them were having endless questions and some of them were like too keen to find the miracles in nature ...
We went for a horse driven train ride, and it was great to have that ride ...it was a new experience for me as well :-)

There is no age of learning ...i believe this very strongly.

Housewives - some thoughts about this word ...

Image
  I don't know since when, i started hearing the term "HouseWife". Down in the memory lane, i was asked in  my elementary school about what my mom do, and i was confused (because i am habituated of seeing my Maa work for all the household work), then i came back home and asked to my Maa, "What do you do?", after a pause, she told "i am a housewife", satisfied with the answer i went back to school next day and told proudly that "My mother is a housewife". But over the period of time, when i grew up and grow mature, many times i feel that this word "HouseWife" is underestimated and underrated. My question today is "WHY"? This question off late brings a lots of memories: During my school and even some part of working life also whenever Maa is around i was always welcome home and serve with good fresh food, she will listen to my day. Similar i observe with my kids too , if i am at home they also want to hang around at home, th

Good to have backup ...

Early this week, I was feeling very energetic to finish my pending work, and I had a plan to go to office to setup a testing lab. On Wednesday morning, I woke up and got ready to leave for office. My office is around 14 miles from my house, and pre-COVID time, it used to take 1 hour for me to reach. For those who are familiar with Bay area traffic won't be surprised with that :-) . I drive a Red Tesla, and I just love it! I had a very pleasant drive and reached office that day within 15 mins (No traffic, because of COVID and all the offices are closed) I was very happy, after I parked my car in the empty garage. I realized that the office entrance door is changed, and I had to take a different route to enter.  I was looking forward to have a good work time in office and come back home like an achiever :-). After entering office, I realized that the office network is awfully slow, and then found in the WhatsApp messages that there is a network outage in the south bay. I receive mess

Jhansi -- my memoir of first interaction

Image
I am born and brought up in a small place next to river Ganga in West Bengal, India. In my entire life till marriage I never crossed the Vindhya Range ( central India). After marriage, first time I went to northern part of India - Jhansi, Utter Pradesh. In history I read about "Rani Laxmi Bai", the warrior queen! that was my limited knowledge about that place and people. My childhood memories of my Baba's uncle ( he became a monk and we used to call him 'Sadhu Dadu' ) used to call me as 'DurgaBai' and he keep on giving reference to 'Jhansi ki Rani LakhmiBai' in multiple times. When the Jheelam Express stopped in the Jhansi railway station, I was very anxious to get the first look of the city. My husband, Sandhya, Papa( Father in law), Dharmendra ( my husband's friend ) was there with me who accompanied me in the train. Seen my excitement to get down from the train, Papa and my Husband told me to wait till in the train till the crowd get lighter
