Talking of memories, I realized how our parents did a zillion things for us in the same twenty four hours that we have today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">How everything was homemade, be it baby food, sweets, one off home stitched clothes, lavish lunches and dinners, stuffed toys, art and craft projects for school, handmade cards and the list is really long to pen it here!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">They say we should always move with time and yes we have. We now have almost everything replaced with the readymade, on the go stuff. Technology dominates our lives like no other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">You have fancy food items, especially curated in tiny packets for you to just put it together. You have variety of baby food items in fancy packaging available at your display. You have fashionable gadgets, clothes and everything else available at a click of a button,that makes your shopping experience easy and less time consuming.<\/span><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">You have almost everything available to be ordered online, be it basic raw materials to complete finished products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">Often I sit and wonder at how indoor spaces have turned into play areas for kids because we have lack of open spaces and also because I as a parent see the allergies occurring through dust but sometimes overlook the hygiene issues in a closed space.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">Everything said and done, the point to note is that one man\u2019s lack of time has become a business opportunity for the other. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">The biggest example is of the ecommerce market blooming and how friendly neighbors who were forever willing to baby sit for your child, have now turned into day cares and cr\u00e8ches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">Capitalizing at the onset of an opportunity is definitely the need of hour. You have to be forever efficient, excel&nbsp; at multitasking and play multiple job roles too. The other day I looked up for some DIY videos on how to make super hero masks for my toddler and the joy on his face after it was completed is something that cannot be put into words. The sheer excitement of baking cookies and cakes with an overjoyed child is priceless!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">Yes, we are in a race against time however it wouldn\u2019t harm you to do certain things the old fashioned way. After all, the old fashioned things are a memory for us, a memory that we want to cherish forever, let\u2019s make memories too, for our generations to cherish and ponder over!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">If someone has to benefit from your lack of time, seldom let that someone be you!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">#weekendmusings<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin:0;color:#000080;line-height:115%;font-family:'Lucida Calligraphy';font-size:10pt\">#musingoftheheartandsoul<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I waited impatiently near the popcorn on wheels cart, for the guy to pack my packets of popcorn, hubby dear told me stories of how when he was a child he would make his own popcorn by pouring oil and corn kernels and the popcorn in the vessel would pop the same way as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[6,7],"yst_prominent_words":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","blog_post_layout_featured_media_urls":{"thumbnail":"","full":""},"categories_names":{"3":{"name":"Musings","link":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/category\/musing\/"}},"tags_names":{"6":{"name":"musings","link":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/tag\/musings\/"},"7":{"name":"society","link":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/tag\/society\/"}},"comments_number":"7","wpmagazine_modules_lite_featured_media_urls":{"thumbnail":"","cvmm-medium":"","cvmm-medium-plus":"","cvmm-portrait":"","cvmm-medium-square":"","cvmm-large":"","cvmm-small":"","full":""},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
