Hubby and I decided to stay up for monthly goal setting after sending Pappu to bed. So naturally, we left the lights on as we went for prayer time in our bedroom. After the last prayer was said, he promptly got out of bed, went around the house and instructed me to switch off every [...]
Dear baby, You are full of energy and its really amazing to see your emerging personality. You are fun to be with. The biggest thing that happened during the past month is you are starting to treat your father and me equally. You understand that both of us are important now, whereas you had taken [...]
I had been thinking for quite a while to write a series about my son’s books and the one’s from the library that he read. But I didn’t want to commit to a weekly or anything, because God knows the stress involved in meeting my NaBloPoMo commitment. But these 2 books are just too good [...]
A few weeks back, I bought crocs for my son. On the way back, I met a good friend and we shared our shopping experience, and of course, displayed proudly what we had shopped. When she saw the crocs, she told me that 2 years back there was some incident about crocs being dangerous in [...]
Pretty handbags/purses/pocketbook days were over before pregnancy. That was when I would carry a beautiful hand bag, too heavy for it’s size, filled with all my makeup , some accessories, phone, wallet and some junk.

I am starting my series of NaBloPoMo posts today. Yeah this is a surprise decision from someone who hasn’t even managed to write as often as weekly. But I’m putting myself on a pretty aggressive schedule. I’m hoping that dividing a post into 7 parts is perfectly acceptable. Or considering the tweets from my phone as [...]
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, [...]
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. [...]
Recently I have been letting the baby play on his own for small amounts of time while I sit at the computer eating bonbons. He has been after the cordless phone for a long time and today I handed it to him to see what he was doing. He didn’t mouth it which made me [...]
