Five years and ten months...


That’s my son!
He would soon be super six, and it means a lot to him, it’s like winning a virtual monster game.
Cliched but true that “Time Flies”. Six years ago, when I got to know that I was pregnant, I went through a roller coaster of emotions, there came a point when I  wanted to abort my pregnancy, but in true filmy style, I realized it was emotionally not possible. Today, I am happy that I let my emotions rule. Not even once have I regretted this decision. He is one of the best things that happened in my life, my flesh and blood. I don’t know how life would have been without him, but now I dread a life without him.
Well, bringing up a child is not a child’s play, fellow mothers will agree, but, there is no perfect way also. To each is own, as I have always believed. Looking at him, makes me feel that as a Mother I have done a fairly decent job, Yes, its true that he has his preferences, his moods, and he is very rigid about certain things, it just shows that he is growing up.
End of the day, as a Mother, all I pray is that he should be happy, humble, he should be blessed with good health, most importantly he should grow up to be a good human being. And I pray to God, to help me retain my sanity, which I might lose in the years to come. ;)

Take it easy policy...

A friend walked in, to have coffee, her house also is empty by 8 and so is mine. So sometimes, we catch up for our lil tete-a-tete over coffee. Talking about coffee, I have turned the American way, I now prefer black coffee to white. Well, the first cuppa is with milk. Her Mum is an amazing baker, she had sent homemade peanut butter cookies. So, my neighbour was generous enough to get some for me. I made the famous South Indian filter coffee, and we plonked ourselves on the couch. She seemed a lil disturbed, so after a lot of prodding, she finally asked me if I thought she was obsessive about being perfect. So I instantly said Yes! And she was shocked, she said how could I have known that about her, as I have known her only for few months. So I laughingly pointed out at certain incidents and told her that I have a penchant for observing people and their mannerisms, and I can't help it. We laughed, then she asked, but what's wrong in doing things perfectly? I told her nothing, ...

Blah blahs....

For the last few days, I open my blog, view it, read my friends posts and then sign out... There are so many thoughts crossing my mind, everyday, but am unable to pin it down. For example, this morning, in the Delhi metro, nobody offered their seat to an old woman, she even requested one young girl to get up, as she wasn't feeling too well, but the dame refused. Two minutes later, the old woman had a dizzy spell and fell, I couldn't help asking that dame, how would she have felt if her mother went through a similar situation? She obviously didn't have an answer, but that set me into a thinking mode, not to forget that I was totally upset with such a start to the day. But, come to think of it, what is happening to our society? What happened to values? Respect..Kindness...Compassion... Have people forgotten these words? What are we passing on to our children? Everyday, I get bogged down by such thoughts, because, even if I stick to my guns, and pass on the so called ...

NO (WO)MAN NO CRY..

So, the weekend's agenda was 'meet the inlaws' - my inlaws. And like many women, inspite of being married for a long time, the 'inlaw' factor still stirs a lot of mixed emotions, though I have learnt my way out and in of nagging situations, my heart continues to beat faster. Anyway, there were lot of children, as it was my nephew's birthday party. The kids were playing, shouting, running, jumping, fighting - exactly in that order. My son. all of 8 is a little sensitive, he hasn't  learnt yet to deal with violent or hyper energetic kids. He kept requesting a kid of his age to stop kicking him, but the other one didn't listen, and as it's famously said, "Survival of the fittest", my son finally kicked back, and blocked him using his karate moves,(at last the technique was put to use)! The fight actually increased, as the other kid now charged with all his might. By the time the elders stopped the fight, that kid had hurt my son, I was ch...
