New York Botanical Garden.-.Perfect family trip with kids this spring or summer


        Entering into the month of March, I started harboring a hope of spring. Spring is all about wonderful weather and flower power.  Staying in New England, I always look forward to spring after a freezing winter and a few months of hibernation. I look forward going out for outdoor fun with my two kids. New York, the city has always offered best of everything. A few minutes away from New York City, Bronx botanical garden is a great day trip with kids, a beautiful nature escape from the daily urban grind. 

        
        The 250-acre land and 50 different garden and plant collection is a little paradise on earth where children can learn about plant science and ecology etc. A beautiful hike around the park itself is a great idea to experience the colorful flower blooms, daffodils, to tulips. cherry blossom and all different kinds of plant, natural water streams. Identify many different trees and flowers, explore wetland. If you have young kids like mine, they have trams, so you don’t have to take the trouble of walking with them. The tram provides a 30-minute tram tour. The tram picks up and drops off at all major attractions, including the Everett and the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden, a prerecorded narration highlights fun facts, interesting plant varieties, historical buildings, and ancient plants and trees. Small activities like Puppet Theater could be a fine idea for kids. In Ruth Rea Howell family garden kids can experience taking care of plants through gardening kids program and can play in the dirt, digs for worms and learn about many different things about food grown around the world, nutrition, healthy lifestyle, etc.  My kids love climbing on the rocks, puppet shows, watching small ponds, playing music, etc. And they have few cafes with decent food for you to eat with kids, inside the park.




        It could be a great natural activity for your kids to connect with nature up close if you are visiting the city this spring or summer.

    What a great way to introduce to children an understanding and love of nature. This is an example of something I believe all parents should engage their children in to be mindful of the environment, but also to enjoy so many of the benefits that being in the great outdoors gives us.

    Wow, when you think of the Bronx, you certainly don't think of finding something so pretty as this there. It's beautiful and great for picture taking. Gotta visit NYC soon!

    We have a botanical garden in Singapore as well and it is the #1 thing to do as per trip advisor. I am really a big fan of such gardens and the variety of flora you get to see.

    We have a botanical garden in Seattle and it is absolutely beautiful. It is a great place to go to clear your head, for a picnic or to take some pictures.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid just like pomegranate. Nowadays imitation Assamese jewelry are als

Keeping it simple-random things about me

Hello my dear readers, how are you all doing? Summer vacation has just started here on the east coast. My kids are having a gala time. I can't tell you how time is flying. My time is all occupied by them. Taking to them, playing with them, take them to the library, reading stories and most importantly cooking their favorite food. Hence thought, I'll keep it simple and straightforward. It has been more than a year now, and I have shared so many things about my life, travel, fashion, etc. Today I'll share a few random thoughts about me. 1. My favorite color - Navy blue, peach and off-white. Not that I don't wear any other color, but those colors are readily available in my wardrobe. 2. My favorite outfit - In western I love to wear a crisp white top and blue jeans. I know very casual. In Indian, I love sarees. Mostly, I love handwoven and handwork ones. I love salwar kurta too. You will find more solid colors then prints or patterns in my wardrobe. 3. Am I fitnes

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but
