The 10 Commandments of Motherhood ;)

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 crying and you can't handle it, is not acceptable. You made me cry by refusing to carry me, so now deal with my tantrums.

8. You shall not sing the song "why this Kolaveri Di"? I will definitely get into a murderous rage if I hear you sing it one more time!

9. You are forbidden from lying down beside me and trying to catch a few winks while I'm sleeping. Only one of us can be asleep during the day and by default 'that one' is ME.

10. You shall not talk while I'm trying to sleep. I've had a busy day keeping a track of YOUR activities. After a hard day's work I'm trying to catch some sleep. So do me a favour - Just zip it!


There was a time when I used to think I will train my daughter to behave in a particular way. I will teach her this, that and so on.. Look who's getting all the training.. Sigh! ;)

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
