A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Everywhere I look, I sit the offspring's presence prevails. The jar of Gummybears are usually within hand's reach although with the child-proof caps it's still a bit in our control when we want to hand the bears over. There are clothes clips on the futon, tigers and lions (figures) under the sofa cushions and Play... Continue Reading →
A lot of blogs turn out to be a plunge into some deep chasm of thought. It's not. I suddenly get a notion in my head. It often cries for a platform. Some days I can give it one and other days it's shunted onto my list of things-to-do-but-not-now-maybe-later. After a long time I napped... Continue Reading →
I keep wondering what is it that makes my kid do the opposite of what I ask (read threaten/yell) him to do. These are the very regular occurrences in our house: Stand still gets interpreted as be anything but still. Be quiet or HUSH= keep chattering incessantly. Just a minute/second= I want it NOW! Give...

Said the giant before Jack whooped his bottom and took away his essence of being a giant altogether! Ok...how does that make any sense you ask? I'll tell you...just let me spin out my tale a bit more... Parenting. Glorious parenting. Tis fun. Tis joyous. Brings tears to your eyes at times (for many reasons,... Continue Reading →
Any mother will eventually admit to this- they love their kids the most when the children are either asleep or doing something that doesn't require them (the moms) to be an active participant all the time.

And that's why the decisions taken by the university management really goaded me to write; since I was a boarder in a hostel when I was at a University. Apparently the... Continue Reading →
I don't know what has changed me more: growing up didn't do much but becoming a parent sure did. And hearing about what goes on in the world around us on a daily basis is one shocker after another. This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →
I'd caught up with a friend for a belated celebration of her birthday at a kiddy place house-cum cafe. She's specifically kept it in a child-friendly place so the moms would be able to take their eyes off their offspring and just kick back and relax. Erm...yeah. Sure. Why not? It wasn't a complete disaster... Continue Reading →
Witnessed two separate instances of candid and unadulterated (excuse the pun) kiddy behavior yesterday. Enjoy reading about them. I enjoyed experiencing them: Scenario 1: Last evening at the play area MLM and another little friend of his got into a tiff which seemed to be escalating to epic proportions. Well epic differs from people to... Continue Reading →
We're shopping for a new school for MLM. He's going to 1st grade in 2015 and we're a bit worried. Correction- Red is a bit worried. Am anxious. Anxious because when I was going to school at his age and even at an age older to what he is now, there was usually one or... Continue Reading →
