Doesn't make any sense at all? Well this is such a spelling that even a spell check might not help. So lemme reveal the actual word behind the mangled one- Pterodactyl. Whoo! that's a doozy isn't it? Given that it's not even spelt the way it's pronounced. Anyhoo MLM's learning about dinosaurs at school and... Continue Reading →
Did You Know About: Reactive Airway Disease
It took us a little over 2 years to understand that our HYPERACTIVE child might have some help with his hyperactivity. No, it's not ADHD although I pored over the DSM and ICD in order to find something that would help me understand his relentlessness and lack of sleep. The coughs, colds and persistent sleep...

Out of the Mouth of Mini Me
I say Mini Me because till now NO ONE has said that MLM is anything like Red. I alone see the similarities and point them out which I know makes Red happy. Who doesn't want to be told that a once-cherubic and now-impish child with beautiful long lashes, a gurgling laughter and the cutest pout... Continue Reading →
Am I The Only One?
I know Mothers wonder about their children and what they're up to, what they have the potential to get up to throughout their lives. But am hoping that there are other moms out there who have this reaction as well- WHAT IN THE NAME OF GERBER'S BABY FOOD WAS THAT? My child- MLM has some... Continue Reading →
The Uprooted Gypsy
I've categorized myself as a gypsy since long. Not because I have dark, good looks or lots of jet black flowing hair...no sirree! I've moved from one place to another as far back as I can recall. 9 schools. 1 place for graduation and yet another for the Masters. And a job or two along... Continue Reading →
Sunday Morning Shenanigans
While growing up I think the one thing most people on this planet had in common was their Sunday mornings. Even if it came at different times across the world, I firmly believe every damn person with a whit of grey matter WANTED to sleep on Sundays! As kids we slept pretty much as long...

Things I Fancy
I found this site while browsing through app recos on my phone a couple of months back and have been hooked to it ever since. I'm not hooked to the extent that I'm actually buying stuff off it. It's got a mixture of things that I can afford and stuff I look at wistfully but I... Continue Reading →
Nothing Surprises Me…I’m A Mom!
Ermm...that's a contradiction actually. Nothing does surprise me because a child's mind is SO elastic that it works in ways I can't begin to imagine and wish it didn't. And yet when the unimaginable (for adults) happens it's also a surprise because the offspring chose to do (read destroy) yet another thing in his own... Continue Reading →
Being Firm…
It's extremely easy to be firm. Till it isn't. You decide you won't let your child indulge in excesses or in things out of turn but somehow it's always easier to do so when work or personal life comes knocking on your door. Sometimes it's SO easy to just rationalize it all out and say,... Continue Reading →
