Frowns are out, Smiles are in!
Hi there,
How would you feel if there is something that can bring showers of smiles to your family everyday? What would you say if there is something that can take away frowns and spring a wave of emotions in everyone’s heart? What if there is something to look forward to every morning to start with new lyrics of joy, something beautiful to begin your day with or have a beautiful ending every day?
Well, I have found something magical, interesting, and entertaining that has touched the hearts of my daughter, my husband, and myself…immensely…truly. We all love each other very much, but the busy schedule, workload, tension about the present and future was drawing each of us far from each other, in one way or the other. Previously, every morning when we used to get up, the only thing we had in mind was to just get up, get ready, rush through the morning routine, have breakfast and zoooom…off to our busy schedule for the whole day. There was no moment of peace, or even to think about saying “Good Morning” to each other with a smile.
All this motivated me to invent this simple little game - “Cherish Board” - that we all adore now, and after its success with my family and friend’s families, I would like to share it with you all!
The only catch is that you have to play it with all of your heart and I can guarantee you that you will see a lot of positive changes in your family! It will especially help you in strengthening the relationship between you and your kids.
Life is full of different experiences; it is all about sharing and learning from those moments. Wouldn’t it be fantastic, if as a family we can have something in common to touch each other’s heart, to cherish togetherness, to bring more closeness with each other?
The Cherish Board routine is helping us connect with each other emotionally and spiritually. Our morning starts with a beautiful smile along with a touch of soft ‘Good Morning’ sound. We start this routine, when everyone is awake, and spend about 2 to 5 minutes to complete it. This simple little exercise spreads joy and the flicker of smiles on all of our faces, and sets something new to look forward to.
Would you be interested in knowing more about this little magical game?
Are you ready…..

And, remember to share your opinion with me about this game!
Cheers,
-Rakhi

The Cherish Board really helps slow down the everyday hustle and bring us together. Even if we don’t have time to do the actual board itself everyday, I still find time to do one or two of the points everyday and to continue the bond between myself and daughter.
Thank you for putting these points in writing and creating this wonderful way of bringing the entire family together!

Dear Rakhi,
I have found this endeavour and its fundamental concepts rather useful not only for the kids but also for the parents who, obviously are much more deleterious for this kids to succeed in life and to get trained in a better manner.
Since I also run a school at Lucknow and am engaged in Social work, I must congratulate you for this venture, which if properly continued, would not only be getting a very good response but would also be a service to the children.

Rakhi ji,
I came to know of your site through your husband’s mail and showed it to my wife who got quite enthused to say you a word of appreciation.
While this being her forte, all I would like to say is that such activities go a lot in helping parents.
I would also like to congratulate you for having very sweet girl like Urvi whose rendition and speeches automatically tell us a volume about the success of your methodologies and attempts.
