Hello I started this blog just before the pandemic began in January of 2020. After two years of posting very little, I became active last December and I have found joy blogging. So I decided to edit my about me page and thought why not make it as a new post. I am Ganga and…

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? Few months back, I wrote about my autistic son’s dress options. He has sensory issues and is very picky about what he wears. Yes, he wears clothes that are comfortable to him. I was talking to my Mom yesterday. She told me as my paternal grandmother aged, she…

Written for Sadje’s Sunday poser #184 We celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in our house. I was fortunate to have my parents with me two years ago, and I was able to celebrate with them too. This year too, I celebrated a bit differently, and I did blog about it here. Are these holidays…

The weather was chilly this morning. It did not deter us from our morning walk. We walked on a trail. We walked nearly 3.5 miles. It was a flat surface with no ups and downs. Maybe this would be our trail for this summer goal: a 10-kilometer walk. I have to keep emphasizing this goal, since…

A mother is a person who thinks about her children all the time. They are her babies until her last breath. She wishes nothing but good for her kids. Happy Mother’s Day to my amma, whom I know is thinking about me and my brother (equally 😊) all the time. Okay, I am a mom…

This week, I saw a posting on social media. Being famous on social media is like having monopoly money. I have been teaching my son to cook. The one thing I do is take pictures or videos of the same and post them on his social media page. I have been struggling to make a…

What is your career plan? My son has inherited cooking genes from his grandfather! Yes, it missed a generation. I began teaching him cooking as a life skill. But the more I see, it looks like he can turn that into a career! Wow, there are so many who do not cook and restore to…

What was the last live performance you saw? When the pandemic hit us, a lot of things started streaming online. People really took advantage of it and started enjoying the same. For me, my son’s diagnosis really hit hard. It was not easy for me to manage him in a public crowded place. We rarely…

We have three of them, in front of our house. Only one had a full bloom! But the neighborhood is full of them and this spring flowers have been a feast to our eyes. The bee 🐝 is having a feast too. Zoom to see him/her enjoying the same! For Cee’s flower of the day!

What’s a job you would like to do for just one day? When I saw this prompt, I remembered a movie where a person was challenged to be the state’s chief minister for the day. I was young and the movie really excited me😊. That person did a fantastic job on his first day but…

This week, a blogger asked about how we socialize. I did answer the question, saying we do it at our local temple. Anyway, I then realized there was something we have been doing for the past seven years that has helped us socialize with our boy. We have been going for a walk every day.…

Do you vote in political elections? I cast my first vote in India as an Indian citizen when I turned 18. After becoming a US Citizen, I have voted couple of times during Presidential elections. But not for any other elections. I think voting is a privilege and everyone should exercise it. But I too…

When I finished my A to Z challenge, I made a vow. I decided I would use my laptop to blog and my new digital camera to take pictures. It looks like, it is going to be some time before I get the hang of those on a regular basis. I now have a new…

For the last day of my challenge, a tough letter, the letter Z, I could have just gone with my travels to the zoo. I could have even added a picture of a zebra, and it would have been wonderful. It would have satisfied my need to write about a place that begins with the…

Our family frequents a state park, Ohiopyle State Park. The Youghiogheny River Trail has 27 miles of trail in the park. It is part of the Greater Allegheny Passage, which connects Pittsburgh and Maryland. The past few summers, we have hiked bits and pieces and enjoyed the gush of the water flowing. I have blogged…

The letter for today is X. I have never been to a place beginning with X, as far as I can remember. But I have been to a place that has an X in it, and that is what I am going to write about. My family, or should I say my dad, my husband,…

Living in the United States, finding a place you have traveled to beginning with the letter W is easy. According to my search on the internet, there are 88 cities and towns named Washington. This does not include counties and streets. We visited Washington, DC, the capital city, when my special boy was just six…

We visited Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, last month. At that time, I was planning my theme for the challenge, and I immediately thought V was for Virginia. I then went through my pictures and was surprised to see we had made a number of other visits to Virginia without my realizing it. We had taken…

I live in a town that begins with the letter “U.”. I travel to places like libraries and playgrounds that begin with that letter. But I did not want to write about my place since I write a lot about it on a daily basis on my blog. When I asked my husband what place…

The pandemic had celebrated its one-year anniversary. Our entire family has had their vaccination. We decided to cross Pennsylvania and enjoy a weekend out. We read on CNN that West Virginia’s New River Gorge is now recognized as a national park. It looked close and outdoors. So we booked a room and decided to enjoy…
