Dewy and I are out for walking!!!  I call it a Double Trouble!! Wondering why.... It a big neighborhood mall. There is a beautiful book shop in that mall. That is one among the reasons I love that mall. And there is a obscenely big toy shop which is ONLY reason why Dewy loves that mall. We had a deal. We go to toy shop, buy anything she wants but the cost should be within 500 Rs. I started doing this recently so that my daughter understands and appreciates the luxury she is having. We go on a mission. She walks around that toy shop twice and she is disappointed. She couldn't find any toy within the price I had set. The mother in me is now little worried. In a big toy shop , my daughter couldn't still find a toy which she was eagerly waiting for. She comes to me with a dejected face and get 2 toys for which she couldn't find a price. I see one was Rs 700 (a unicorn from "my little pony") and another one Rs 450, though I could see she really loved the p...

Ahaa.... Another complaint post. If that is what is running in your mind, then you are going on a different ride. In a country this big, this wide it is always a engineering wonder to have train connectivity to all the places and;  to run it almost to near perfection is humongous task. I think we should be proud of it It was just another day to me until this happened. We had a CII audit in the company for which I was supposed to talk on Gender diversity in our company. And that was in Chennai. Spent some time on getting a deck done Packed the bags Convinced Dewy that it is just a day's seminar Handled all client calls on Friday night juggling with the OLA driver. (that's a separate story to be told) I get to the station. Sit there to watch people ( it is a nice past time to see different facets of people and watch reactions) If any of you had experience of sitting in Indian Railway platforms and the number of announcements, you would when I say that I didn'...

Have you ever noticed all these mommies who work? Heard them talk. It would mostly revolve around their kid. Long ago, I used to wonder why they don't find any other topics to talk about. Now I realize it is not the lack of topic that is driving this discussion. A normal day @ home. - Wake up grudgingly (especially if you are not a morning person) - Start cooking - Wake up the kid - Rush to bathroom and scold them to fasten up process - Dress them up - Push as much as breakfast possible - Scold them for not eating properly - Get out of house in a mad rush to catch school bus - Sigh of relief!! - Ohh Hoo.. Not over.... Finish Cooking - Bath and get ready to beat the traffic and reach office - Deal mails, escalations, management and people (not specifically in this order) - Come back home, get the books out. Face it ( A ton of homework) - Fix dinner and gobble it - Check the gadgets and back to bed. This is typically a day I have and I am...

Dewy arrived to my life in May 2012. She was small and fresh like a dew drop on the grass in a December morning and little dark that I had doubts if she was mine. I don't remember who suggested  to use Saffron in milk, I certainly did gain color not Dewy. In my anesthesia induced brain, I remembered asking my doctor, if this was my daughter. She nodded her head as if the anesthesia has clogged my ears and not my brain. Anyway that said and done!!! I decided to go ahead with my doctor's answer and assured myself that she is my daughter and bring her home!!! Ohhh my god!!! Every single step forward till date, she has shown so many characteristics (annoying ones at times) that reminds me of me. - She looks like me, people say so :-) - She loves books. My friends would claim that it is result of the torture that I did when was 6 months(i.e reading stories from books) and now at 5 1/2 she manages to read small books - She loves to dance and she loves to roam around - She...

Last post in 2008 and now again bringing it up at 2017. Does it makes sense? Do you have the time? Sometimes random ranting helps!!! So I think this is gonna help me search who I am in reality. Welcome back Janani!!!
