I am not a nutritionist, but I am in my 30’s and the mother of a toddler. Here I am sharing a few super healthy snack options – to help you eat well, and stay healthy!
These recipes are for those who don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. We may place a check on eating high calorific food during breakfast, lunch and dinner but we are prone to eat something tasty between the meals.
Here I am going to provide you with a few healthy snack options that can help you to stay energetic throughout the day, while satisfying your taste buds; what’s more, they are pocket friendly too! You can make these snack options quickly during the TV breaks and eat them while you watch your football matches or you can pack them up for office.
A few things to check on for a healthy life:
Try to consume home made foods rather than store bought packet food. I know store bought foods are easily available, come in attractive packets, and are tastier but try to stick to home made food. It will help you to fight obesity and is good for the long term.
Cook in batches and pick up new recipes each month. Nowadays we travel a lot and eat different cuisines. Learn the recipes and recreate them. Cherish the memories of your travel.
Try to make spice mixes for a month. There is a huge choice of spices from all over the world that you can pick.
Try to eat all the available vegetables, fruits, and herbs of each and every season.
Exercise at least a little each day, at any time convenient to you
Take the trouble to present your food well because, “first you eat with your eyes”.
Drink a lot of water.
It doesn’t mean that you give up eating your favourite foods like chocolate, pizzas, burger, or chips for rest of your life but you can try these recipes for healthy snack options twice or thrice a week. It doesn’t mean that you will achieve a size zero figure overnight but it means that you would have fewer health issues relating to diet. With a diet like this your skin will definitely glow, you will be fit and in good shape.
In short, this is my fitness mantra, and something I have learnt it from my mother. If I inspire a single person to start a healthier life then I believe my goal for writing this article will be successful.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
