When u become PAPA

Gaurav( my hubby) brings milk everyday in morning . Today he was not in a mood to get up and bring milk. So, he told Bhavi(my elder son) to bring milk from the market, although he was just joking.

Hearing this, Adi was surprised and said" Bhavi, when you become PAPA, only then u will bring milk na...."And he repeated this 2 or 3 times.

We laughed a lot hearing this.His logic was that only PAPA can bring milk, noone else.....

First days of school

Aadi started going to his pre nursery. It is very nice to see him in school dress. First day, he went to school very smiling because he was happy to see his school dress. But after 2 days, it is now difficult to send him to school. I spend a lot of time in the morning to get him ready for school.In the starting, the school was of 2 hours only. Now they have increased the time by 1 hour more.


One nice thing about school is that they give something to eat to kids daily. So the kid is excited to go to school. He gets different eatables like biscuits, chips, chocolate(sometime only), juice (orange), banana etc. He goes with his papa and I usually, bring him from school. It is nice to watch him sitting in the class silently.


One day I asked his teacher " Ma'm, does he cry in the school?"


And her reply was" Never. I have never made him not to weep. Infact he says to other kids to stop crying. " he says" keep quite.... See I am not weeping na.Then why are you weeping?? Mamma will come and take you home".....hahahhah


I was surprised to hear this. Is he so wise? When I asked him that he said so, then he just started laughing....Naughty boy.


They are learning basically to sit in the class in the beginning. He does colouring and learns rhymes. Lets see where he goes in studies...

Poor food eating habits of kids

I have seen many small kids having poor food interests. These little masters want to have junk food or chips etc but a big noooooooooooooo to food. Some parents just don’t care. They give a bottle of milk 4-5 times a day to kid and always complain what to do if he does not want to have food. But only saying this does not end our responsibility.

Kids are of naughty nature. But they have to be handled with care. Our thinking that “every child grows big whatever he/ she eats “ and “he will himself start eating with growing age” is wrong. It does not make them active and their bones remain weak. When their tummy is not full, they often cry without any purpose and don’t have nice sleep.


So the food eating habits should be developed in child by taking extra pain.


Here are some methods to prepare their food which I use:


1. Mix chapati in mixer with some milk and sugar. This becomes like a paste and child eats very quickly. Similarly, chapati can also be mixed with pulses and other vegetables.


2. Make daliya as the child is usually fond of it. Otherwise, Daliya khichdi can be made.


3. Suji kheer can also be given


4. Mash banana and add some salt. Give it to child.






They eat when we get them engaged in talks or games. Give them blocks to play and feed them by spoon. it takes some time but result is better.


Where should he sit:


Let him sit at a place where he enjoys the most. When the child is in happy mood, he eats food quickly. Some ideas are:


1. Sitting before fish aquarium


2. Sitting on cycle or on the outside wall of the house watching pigeons or cows


3. Sitting before the computer and showing him rhymes or cartoons


So lots of efforts are to be made to make child healthy and active.


Always try to maintain the schedule even if the guests are coming. Get his tummy filled before arrival so that he plays before them also with disturbing you. Also try to go to the parties after feeding them properly because they will not eat in parties except cold drinks and ice-cream. Right type of minerals, carbohydrates and vitamins are very much necessary in baby’s meal.

The pain of a working mother

Although every lady is working, whether at home or office. But here, I mean a working lady who is earning money and helping her husband in making things easy for the family and giving better education to the kids. She looks very energetic, independent and self-confident.

But in her heart, she feels many times that she missed the childhood of kids. The kids look for a friend in their mom. No doubt, they are getting best education and every facility but what about the love and time they want? They come from school and find that the mom is not at home. The maid is serving them food. No one is there to listen to their crazy talks like what happened in the school etc. The kids feel alone. This thing is very well in the mind of mother but she feels helpless sometimes. Here are some situations:



1. The child rings her in office and says” Mom, I dont feel like eating what you have made for lunch. I wish to eat Maggie. Hope you were with me at this time…”

2. The child is not feeling well but she has an important meeting at the office.


3. Today is PTM in the school but she can’t go as important delegates have to arrive in the office.



Means she is at office, but her mind and heart is in kid.





This is the stage,every working lady passes through at some time in her life…

Hope Kids Remain as Kids Always

I love the childhood of my kids. The kids are so innocent, naughty and carefree all the time. We also become kids while playing with them and forget all our tensions.Saying rhymes, doing silly acts, playing “I spy you” or “ring-a ring-a roses” with them fills us with so much pleasure…



But as they grow, all these things are replaced by burden of studies and that small kid is lost somewhere. If we try to find that kid, we find a comparatively growing teenager who does not take so much interest in those funny things.



My elder son is 7 years old and younger one of 3 years. I see a lot of difference in them. Due of the fact that the elder got more love and affection because of being first child in the family,he was also very naughty.But now with increase in studies, he finds very less time for such cute talks. I feel my younger one will also loose his naughtiness which i simply adore.



I say him” Aadi, will you be with me as small as you are now?”


And he says smiling” Mamma, I want to grow big and wear skates like Bhaiya…”


I want to keep my kids with me as kids always.Am I being selfish?? I think with growing age, kids become less dependent on mom. Is this thing paining me?? I don’t know but simply want to live this life forever, which I know , is not possible….The only way to keep the memories fresh is keeping them with me in the form of videos or photos so that i can cherish them always..

My angels-my proud

I am starting writing from today. The reason is that I want to store the memories of my kids somewhere so that I can think of their childhood even at my age of 55 or 60. Now my elder kid BHAVEY is of 6 and a half years and little one of almost 3 years. Both the two angels are proud of my life. Both are very much naughty. Bhavi is naughty but listens to others as he is the big brother so everyone says bhavi u r big na...let him do whatever he wants...Aadi is very clever. He does everything and blames on bhavi.

One day Aadi threw water on the bed. We asked"AADI who did this?", then he very smartly said" Bhaiya did this". He knows how to get saved from a particular situation.
