I follow these 10 Commandments given to me by my Little One (LO) and I'm in her good books ;) 1. You shall love me with all your heart, mind and soul and you shall love me more than you love yourself, your spouse and any of my siblings (already existing or yet to come). 2. You shall not call me nick names I don't approve of. I will not respond if you refer me to such names. 3. You shall not multi task. Texting people while rocking me to sleep is a strict no-no. 4. You shall not talk on the phone while I'm awake. I will definitely scream on top of my lungs until you or the other party hangs up. 5. You shall not attempt to cut my nails while I'm asleep. I need them to poke you with when you don't give into my demands. 6. You shall not tell me the same stories over and over again. Please read some children's story books and improve your mental inventory. 7. You shall not shirk from your responsibilities. Handing me over to Grandma because I'm cry...

Tomorrow it's going to be 10 weeks, since I gave birth to my baby doll.. how time flies! One of my friends recently asked me how was the transition from a single woman, to wife to mother.. Well, the transition wasn't difficult.. although just before my marriage I was worried how I would adjust to married life.. I have adjusted pretty well I guess... then when I was expecting I was worried about how I would adjust to motherhood.. And after 2 months in this new role of "mommy", I can say that though I may not be voted "Mom of the year", I certainly am good at it.. :) I say this because I know my daughter through and through..I know what each cry means, I know when she's bored and wants to be entertained and I know when she's sleepy and wants me to rock her to sleep.. So much so that my mom actually asks me how I can differentiate between the various cries, and know exactly what Little One (LO) wants.. I guess this is what they call 'the maternal in...

It's one of those days when I'm feeling very low.. I have almost drowned myself in self pity and I'm listening to depressing songs.. If I was not nursing I would probably have a drink too.. lol.. Well, that I could make myself lol is encouraging :) So I'm feeling low and need to do something to raise my spirits.. And it has to be done without the help of 'spirits'.. ;) So I visit Orkut (yeah the Social Networking Site that is now obsolete thanks to a certain Mr Mark Zuckerberg) and I go through the testimonials my friends have written for me.. I feel happy after reading them, but the "pessimist me" is in the mood to hit me where it hurts.. So I ask myself if the testimonials are valid even today? Would the friends still vouch for the things they've written about me years back? "Pessimist me" says NO.. So I go back to where I was.. Down in the dumps.. I'm trying to think why I'm feeling this way.. And I realise that its been a whil...

The man with the Midas touch has done it again.. I'm not sure what the statistics are but, going by the readership of the latest Chetan Bhagat novel "Revolution 2020", it is a sellout and has achieved what was expected of it - to bring in the moolah for Bhagat and his publishers.. But the book for me has been a total let down.. I really liked Bhagat's last book "2 States - the story of my marriage".. the book was well written, with a lot of humor and made for an interesting read.. So it was but natural for me to be enthusiastic about his latest novel.. But alas! R2020 fails to impress.. Firstly the title is misleading. There is absolutely no hint of a revolution, atleast none involving the protagonist Gopal Mishra.. The story is pretty ordinary and the book is missing the 'punch' that usually accompanies Bhagat's novels.. Even the novel "The 3 mistakes of my life" that didn't generate much hype had a much better storyline than ...

Its 3:00 A.M.. My little one (LO) is awake and cried just loud enough to awaken me from my sleep.. Checked to see if she's wet her clothes.. Yup! that's the reason she's uncomfortable.. so I carry her out of her cradle, change her clothes and then try to feed her.. she falls asleep in sometime.. so I wipe her face clean, pick her up slowly , and very stealthily place her in her cradle and just when I lie down on my bed, much to my dismay I find LO is awake and staring at me wide eyed.. Gotcha! is what her look says.. so I groan and pick her up again, try to feed her again and she falls asleep again and I try to place her in her cradle as stealthily as possible and she's awake just as I lie down on my bed - AGAIN.. We continue this pick up and drop game that my LO is enjoying so much till about 3:45 A.M, .. I'm almost in tears, begging her "Please baby, its 3:45 in the morning.. Please go to sleep".. I see the twinkle in her eyes which translates to "T...

Again borrowing this from a friend because I found it to be something different.. Your blog on the same theme was very well written Sharika.. hope to do justice to this one :) Well its supposed to be a 10 day challenge, meaning you've got to spend 10 days writing the blog taking one topic each day.. Well I improvised a bit.. spent 10 days thinking about what i would write and now writing it all down at one shot :) here goes.. 10 Secrets: Well the thing is if I mention the secrets they no longer will remain 'secrets':) Anyway 10) I find men with crooked teeth, attractive. E.g: Ronit Roy - the guy has a terrible set of teeth but that makes him look hotter ;) 9) I'm afraid of people with a loud voice.. Some of you may be amused to know that for a very long time I was afraid of a lecturer and would try to vanish the minute I saw her simply because she had an extremely loud and shrill voice.. :) 8)I love texting.. Its on hold these days for want of other 'like minded...

Dear Someone whom I don't talk to as much as I'd like to, hey.. I miss u and our conversations.. How the minute I say 'hello', you know I'm upset about something and that is why I'm calling.. and how you never fail to make me feel better with your humor and some outrageous comments and all the songs that you sing.. I still feel u would do well as a radio jockey.. there is so much sadness out there and you would do well to make people realize that if they can survive listening to your show on the radio they can conquer any other problem.. lol.. I wish i could talk to you more often.. will call you soon.. Love Sharu Dear someone from my childhood, I don't talk to you these days because I'm shy and wonder what you will think of me.. so i just say a rushed 'hi' whenever I see you and just walk away before you can initiate a conversation.. But I do treasure all the memories that I have of our childhood .. The silly games we used to play, you taught me...

I'm borrowing this from a friend whose blogs I follow.. thought about posting few posts on this. It is called a 30 letter tag.

A very happy friendship day to all who are reading this and especially to all my friends.. :) I've been getting messages throughout this week wishing me a happy frienship week... Feels nice to be getting such wishes although I must say over the years how I view this relationship called Friendship has changed alot.. Till my Post Graduation I remember having given Freindship day cards to my friends.. Well I'm very choosy when it comes to choosing friends..And not that I'm very easy to be friends with, but there are very few people I refer to as "friends".. So my friends have always felt very nice whenever I have given them cards.. of course now I feel im too old for such stuff and basically I dont want to run the risk of tellin someone how special they are coz then people tend to take you for granted.. Actually these are most recent thoughts based on experiences of the past few months.. I wasn't always this cynical.. ;) Nevertheless I've always had the good ...

My first instinct when I saw the promos of Delhi Belly was to give the movie a miss.. But for some reason went to watch it and I was very disappointed, to say the least.. My husband who enjoyed the movie a lot wanted to know what I didnt like about the movie, and he hit the nail on the head when he asked me if it was too vulgar.. Yeah too vulgar for my taste and honestly even though the reviews of the movie say that it depicts how the youth of today are, I beg to differ.. Firstly the serial cussing in the movie is a major turn off.. Every scene in the movie consists of swear words.. Im not sayin I dont swear.. But yeah I have to be really frustrated and the person has to really mean a lot to me, for me to be callin him/her names.. the name calling in the movie is definitely without malice but somehow it feels overdone.. And then the songs.. except for Bhaag D K Bose, none of the other songs are worth listenin to.. Story line too is very unrealistic.. 3 guys next door getting entangled ...
