About Daughters and Sons..

This article also got featured in The Hindu -Open Page.

One thing that I often hear being said by fellow mothers is that I am lucky to be blessed with daughters. The compliment given till here really pleases me though I seriously believe whatever God chooses to give is lucky for any person. Daughter, son, special needs kid, no kid. Everything that we have or not have is for the best of us. Because  life is not about having or not having. It is about the aim of reaching the state of a higher being.

Game of Hormones - My stint with postpartum blues and lets face it, we take it for granted!!

I try to only write about my positive outlook that I develop during life experiences. But I have to get out of my system this negative phase that I have undergone now two times in my life. Because I know it is common and yet, not very talked about generally or taken very lightly.

Normal vs C-sec - what is meant to be.

I know reading the title most of you will assume that I am gonna discuss about the pros n cons of the two kinds of delivery methods - Normal and C-sec.

Five things to remember in Gestational Diabetes

"Another test?! Doctors during our time never prescribed so many tests", this was one of the common statements I heard during my both pregnancies. Having delivered two kids, I can vouch for the fact that hormonal changes in a pregnant body can wreak havoc. Thankfully, both my pregnancies were healthy with minor glitches here and there. Both the times, my husband and I made sure we don't leave any stone unturned as you never know what is there in store for you.

#wow - She opened a blank notebook..

Creativity gives a special kick in life. In my busy crazy schedule of toggling between an infant and a toddler, I managed to write this poem for a prompt when both were asleep and I was wide awake  let me know how is it 

She opened a blank notebook

And started writing her story

It was no fiction, nor a folklore

Nor anecdotes of romantic glory

Maxi dresses for every woman

I love wearing western attire in my daily wear. I find them comfortable so you will often see me preferring jeans over suits and one-piece over sarees. Though, traditional dresses do make me feel beautiful and so I prefer them donning in cultural events, festivals or marriages.

How to deal with people who talk nonsense and cause hurt!

Do you know the universal truth of this world? I'll tell you.. kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna, chhodo bekaar ki baaton mein kahin beet na jaye raina...

Becoming Mommy and being reborn a second time

After more than a month of self-observed hiatus, I am back to the world of blogging. Honestly speaking, I was not much into writing in the past 9 months. I tried to fake blogs occasionally but failed miserably.

#DoYourHomework: Need for parents to plan for their child's Future

I remember when my husband and I decided to become parents. We thought a lot about it. Till my daughter came into our lives we were like carefree youngsters. We would not think about future much and often our plans were made randomly as said in IT term: on runtime. We would suddenly decide to have dinner at a posh restaurant or would watch back to back movies or shop like shopoholics.

A memento of Love

How much do you attach yourself to materialistic things? Like, you know, the tangible stuffs - that can be destroyed in front of your very own eyes. I am conditioning myself from a long time not to get overwhelmed with such stuffs because then you start losing values for things that actually matter in life. Like your feelings and behavior towards real people.

Spirituality through music

The art of not backscratching!

I have so many thoughts going in my mind these days but I could hardly gather enough energy to pen them down here. May be it is because I am enjoying my completely settled-at-home-House-wife avatar these days (Only god knows how long that will last :P) or may be it's just that I am being lazy :P :P Nevertheless here I am again with thoughts fueled by some recent experiences that forced me to think how truthful and how honest are we in our life and how far we can go if we try to be completely honest to our real feelings?

My #Colgate360GoldMornings Mantra

Gone are the days when I would sleep till noon and wake up only when I would get tired of sleeping :P. Oh, how much I miss the days when I was single and was leading a carefree (reading no responsibility) life.

A new year, a new place and a firm resolution

Happy New Year.. I know, I know, I am late in wishing everyone on my space but that's because I was wandering in my dream world all these days. Yes, literally.
