Schools have reopened. Though children enjoy their vacations
to the maximum, it is only when the school reopens that they get back into
their routine and are engaged productively throughout the day. As much as my
daughter loves her holidays, she equally enjoys going to school as well. Once
the school reopens, she doesn’t like to miss her classes even a single day.
Children get all excited, days prior to the start of the
academic session. They are thrilled to go shopping for their new bags, pencil
box, lunch box, water bottle etc. My daughter loves pink, and she makes sure
that all her school accessories are of her favourite colour. She is even
particular about the label that goes on the cover of the books. They have to
have the Barbie picture.
Children are all set and happy. What about the mothers? I
guess moms also are happy that their children have stepped into yet another
year of learning and playing. But what is a big struggle for mothers is to make
their children have some healthy wholesome food while they are busy with their
books and friends. So here is a really healthy, delicious and really colourful meal
that can be put together in no time – Beetroot Pulao. It is perfect for your
kids as well as your lunch box.
