Dear big boy, Yeah, that’s what you are. Things have changed so much that I have even stopped searching for my little baby. Not only am I convinced that the little baby is not going to return, but I have been enjoying the present so much, and I have absolutely no time to think about [...]
The past few weeks have been rough. I don’t know if I am happy about all the developments going on. I’m trying to wean my son off breastfeeding. He is growing up and he eats well. For the first time in his life, I am doing enough physical work in providing him food. So far, [...]
Dear Baby, You sit in your bed and cry for me. I put my computer down and run towards you, like I always do when you wake up from sleep. I took you into my arms and you lay down on my shoulder. I start rubbing your back and you start meddling with my earring. [...]
In which I take the risk and use this space to vent about something that has been bothering me too much that I have to stand on top of the Singapore flyer and shout so that everybody will listen; as if telling the same story to my mom 10 times a day is not enough. [...]

My chances of getting ‘best mom ever’ award are getting thinner. A couple of days back, my son woke up from his afternoon nap and quickly climbed out of the bed. I laid on his bed and during that lazy moment, he looked at me quizzically and said ‘baba’. While I tried to figure out [...]
Dear Pappu, Yesterday when you saw a friend’s little baby sleeping in his pram, you looked up at me, put your finger to your mouth and said ‘shhhh’. Even though it was not quite a hush, it conveyed the meaning. You are such a fast learner and you behave so big boy-like in front of [...]
Is it unusual to ask one’s spouse how much he or she loves them? May be not for reassurance, but for fun? How about a conversation like this? Woman: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you love roti? Man: 6 Woman: on a scale of 1 to 10, how much do [...]
