Fun with internet!

Recently I have been wondering how people lived in the past without internet. But sometimes, I am forced to think that things would have been much easier back then. Why do we have to go through all of these complicated things now? My website and blog faced a minor crash last night, I mean, my [...]

Harness

A traveller was visiting the country side and at one place, he saw an elephant tied to a tree. He couldn’t help but notice that the cord used to tie the elephant was rather too small to hold the big, majestic animal. But the animal was peacefully standing there and eating. He got curious and [...]

What are those?

What are those strange little white buds? Are they fences to protect the little treasures inside? Or are they little buddies which line up around my finger and make me shout “ouch!!!” in a manner he thinks is funny? No, they are his little teeth! **** He is a bit late. He started teething around [...]

The power of spoken words

It was when the baby had just learned to crawl, one afternoon, I was sitting on the floor and playing with him. When he tried to move towards the bathroom, I said “Pappu, don’t go there. You will fall”. And I repeated many times in case he missed my point. “No. No. Not there. You [...]

10 things about your spouse you are thankful for

Dear Hubby, Here’s my list, as promised! You are ready to admit when you are wrong, even in the smallest of issues, which I kind of cover it up. You are a great learner and you do not give up easily. You make breakfast everyday, giving me enough time for making lunch, without having to [...]

Oh, the joys of breastfeeding…

Dear Pappu, You were about 2 weeks old when I first got a blocked duct. At that time, we were in a process of weaning you from the bottle and putting you on a fully breastfed diet. You were not nursing as much as my body had expected and your dad and I stayed up [...]

Book Review: The Secret

I read this motion picture-turned-book, The Secret by Rhonda Bryne. At a first glance through the pages, I realized that this was going to be either “Wow it changed my life” book or a “What the…?” book. I’m just fortunate that it turned out to be the first type. “As you learn The Secret, you will [...]

Another year, I forget!

The day started like any other. Waking up and cooking and having breakfast and then sending off hubby to office. It was all very normal. And then I sat down to chat with my mother, like I do everyday. She was curious. “You came late today. What are you doing?” After confirming that I was [...]

Finally, shoes that go squeaky!

I think the next step would be the one with colorful lights.   Parenting is a crazy stage of surprises. You get to do things that you have never done, have never thought of doing and the ones you promised yourself that you will never do!! This falls under the third category. In  my defense, [...]

He can talk

Pappu talks a lot these days. He wants to know the name of everything. He points at things and looks at me inquisitively. And I name it. Then he repeats. Our conversation goes like this. He: Points at something. Mm. mm. mm. Me: It’s a clock. He: Ta. Me: This is a book. He: Ta. [...]
