The second month of this year has begun already. ALREADY! January has certainly been an eventful month and I'd like to recapitulate its goodness in the most concise manner possible. Here we go. Music - Maadu Meikum Kanne I was never a huge fan of folk music until I heard this. It often takes a... Continue Reading →
One Of The Many Beginnings
It is the third time I try and fail at folding my son's hand towel to perfection. Pressing with an iron box would be too much of an effort, considering the size of the cloth. I proceed anyway. Two piping hot idlis get diced and distributed along with a dash of thenga chutney in a... Continue Reading →
Preschool Digest

Can I bring my metro train instead? °°°°°° Teacher: Fish lives in water. That preschooler: NO. Fish lives in the fridge. °°°°°° Teacher: Wow, your name... Continue Reading →
Mommyversary Update
Our little one turned two last week. The nub of it I already shared in the last post. This past year has been all about him exploring the world around, testing his limits in everyway possible. In the beginning, it was funny seeing him toddle, he moved as if he had an oversized apple between... Continue Reading →
Snippet #40 Rants, giggles and everything in between
We moved to a bigger room last week. The extra space, to be honest, is too much luxury to handle. The bathroom is aerated which means my chance of being asphyxiated to death while hand-washing the clothes is a big zero. Yay!! As usual, I am traipsing around baby D who hastily climbs up and...

Snippet #35 Parental Blues
This week has been pretty crazy with my doolally brain feeling more of the downsides of parenthood at an ever alarming rate. My attempts to fight back this Tired Parent Syndrome miserably burnt out, so did my self-motivation $#!+. The mental fatigue wreaked havoc on my day-to-day activities to a larger extent that one fine day, that... Continue Reading →
Snippet #34 A Little Something
I started off my journey as a mother with absolutely no confidence in heart. This is the most exigent venture I have ever been on and always will be. I knew from the beginning that I'd occasionally fail as a parent because while looking around, that was all I could observe from the experienced ones... Continue Reading →
Snippets From “The Absorbent Mind”
Last week, a cousin of mine who is also a dear reader of this blog gifted me a book "The Absorbent Mind", written by Maria Montessori. For most of you, this internationally renowned book needs no introduction. Others (like me) who can only relate the author's last name to one of the most popular methods... Continue Reading →
Daily Fun 3
From here. 1. Three of your childhood books? Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Heidi, Swami and Friends. 2. Three of your best memories. Watching Modern Family with Dr.H (I don't really know why we stopped doing this), times spent with my best friends in Chennai and baby D's first kick. 3. Things that are yellow and...
