Top 5 Lullabies/Lodis to Listen to #worldsleepday

By

Lullabies or Lodis are very gentle songs that are soothing and calming. They are generally sung for kids to make them sleep. They are also called cradle songs. The origin of lullabies dates back 4000 years from now, as an inscribed clay tablet with one has been excavated in Babylon. Today, on World Sleep Day, I listed some of my favourite English, Bengali, and Hindi lullabies/Lodis.

1. Ahista Ahista by Udit Narayan, Sadhana Sargam: This song from the film Swades, composed by A. R. Rahman, has a soulful tune with heartfelt lyrics by Javed Akhtar. 



2. Ghum Jaye by Hemanta Mukhopadhyay: This song from the film Mayar Sansar was composed by Rabin Chattopadhyay and penned by Pranab Ray.


3. Lullaby by Dan Seals: One of my favourites is a very crisp yet melodious song composed over guitar and violin by Dan Seals and Rafe Van Roy. The raw flavour of country music with a calming and soulful touch and simple lyrics makes it memorable.


4. Ghum Aye Ghum Aye by Sabita Chowdhury: Perhaps one of the most popular Bengali Lullabies, this song was composed and written by Salil Chowdhury. 


5. Chandaniya by Shreya Ghoshal: A wonderful song from the film Rowdy Rathore, composed by Sajid Wajid and written by Sameer Anjaan; this song is soft and calming.

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...

Brenda Meets Ba & Bakul at the Beachy Bookstore #Blogchatterbloghop

"Myself Bakul from Baroda." A 30 something man approached Brenda. She was startled by the man's attire. She had never seen so many colours on a man before. She was left amused, "I am Brenda from New York." She could sense the man's nervousness. " You reporter?"  "Oh, yes, I work for the New York Flash." Brenda declared. The warm, cozy and colourful bookstore that they were in was very different from the usual ones. Situated by the sandy beach, it had a cafe, equally colourful. Even the books that adored the racks had been arranged in a rainbow themed pattern. Brenda quite liked the overall decor and theme. In fact she was planning to write about it in her next feature, when Bakul came. His outfit perfectly matched the cafe's overall theme. "Nice outfit." Brenda was not a pro at hiding her feelings. "Thanks, Ba's choice."  "Ba, is that your girlfriend?" "No no, grandmother." Suddenly the enti...
