My Love For Cartoons And Animations

 

From my childhood, till date, I am a huge fan of animated series and Disney Cartoons and movies. Each time I watch an animated movie or series, it just blows my mind away. Spectacular animation, loads of fun and at the same time, it leaves you cheerful, happy and a lesson for life.  

I still remember old Disney cartoons, Mickey Mouse ( my all time favourite), Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Silly Symphony to name a few, have made my childhood memorable. My sister and I used to eagerly wait for Sundays.  We didn't have cable TV then, and Doordarshan used to telecast on Sunday's, back to back, starting with Disney cartoons then Duck Tales, Talespin and Alice In Wonderland..... Wolfing down the hot delicious breakfast of dosas or idlis or brunch Bisibelebhath made by Mommy, we used to devour these cartoons with our eyes. A wonderful treat.... We used to get transported into a world of imagination, adventures, pure fun and entertainment.

And I am so glad that Disney and other animation companies like Pixar, Deamworks etc have created some of the most amazing movies ever. And with such motivational and inspirational messages, worth writing down and keeping it in a journal, to revisit occasionally and get back on your feet when life drags you down. 

The icing on the cake now is that I get to watch these wonderful movies and series with my child and in between give him some "gyan" sessions as well based on those movies.  It's pure fun to watch it with my child, niece and nephews.

Another beautiful and noteworthy transformation in these movies that I have seen and liked about, is, about portraying the female leads from "the Damsel in Distress"  waiting to be saved by a Prince to "Being your own Champion" and saving oneself! A very very important lesson for young growing girls and boys as well, on how one should treat a girl. Catch them young as the saying goes. These important life lessons should be instilled in the young minds which will go a long way in their lives.

Few of my all time favorites and I will recommend as much watch movies for those who haven't watched it yet are; Kung Fu Panda, Cars, Up, Ratatouille, Moana, Brave, Mulan, Zootopia and a few very latest ones; Raya, Luca... The list is actually endless. Each movie reiterates that; Follow your dreams, Believe in yourself and Anything is possible.  There are a few quotes from these movies that really are a lesson, not just for the kids but for us adults as well.

My First 100km Ride

Image
  After my first long ride till my Mom's house and back, I have been cycling regularly. I got a bit more  ambitious and now I was aiming for a century ride.  Dileep suggested it's better that I ride in and around first to build up the stamina and get used to cycling. So I started riding daily around 5km each day and slowly increasing the distance and duration, once I got into the flow.  One beautiful thing happened. On 1st September, as I was riding I just went with the flow and rode around 11kms that  day.... That night I came across the BIKE30 challenge. We had to ride 10km each day for 30 days in September month. It was like it was meant to be, since unknowingly I had done more than 10km that day. I enrolled for that challenge and enjoyed each bit of the challenge.  With this regular ride, I got the confidence that I could try to do a 100.  I asked Dileep if we could go for a 100km ride in October to commemorate our wedding anniversary and my birthday!! Dileep said sure!! Ye

My First Long Cycle Ride

Image
Dileep rides for " Bangalore Randonneurs "  https://www.audaxindia.org/bangalore-randonneurs-bangalore-c-9 and " GoGreenGoCycling "  http://www.gogreengocycling.org/ and few solo rides with his friends.  He is a great inspiration to me and our kid. I wanted to go cycling with him for a very long time.  With the lock down slightly relaxed and cyclists allowed on the roads with all the precautions, we planned a short family ride of 15kms, considering our lil one's capacity to ride. It was super fun.     And ever since I had been craving for more. That's the thing about any physical activity, walking, running, yoga cycling, gymming, you name it, once you get the taste of it, and you end up craving for more.  Anyway, I asked my husband if we could ride till my mom's place and he agreed. From our house till Mom's, it's around 22 Kms. I was over the moon and super excited. Once the plan was made, I told my mom that we would be coming early in the mor

Aging Gracefully

​ As young people, we are full of energy, enthusiasm, super busy with our work, family and other activities.  But we are ​​ n't going to be young for ever. While we are investing for our old age, saving up a lump sum to give us a comfortable life, many of us forget to invest in one more and most important thing. A hobby, something we are passionate about. Something which will keep us busy the whole day, while our children are away for studies/ work or blissfully enjoying the company of their friends, spouse and their children.  We need to accept that even though our children love us, will always do, it's difficult for them to spend time with their old parents with so many things demanding their attention.  While we enjoy seeing them all grown up and responsible, we should make sure we let them do that without feeling guilty of not being able to spend time with us..  We should learn to age gracefully. Planning is very important. Find the things you are passionate ab
