Mistakes of my life..

Image
Mistakes- its a strong word.. without them we don't go anywhere.. Every mistake we do teach us something, every mistake is a lesson of lifetime. Some we regret, some mistakes we are glad we did it, some gives others happiness - kind of white lie, some mistakes go horribly wrong & haunt us for lifetime, some gives us good memories.. But whichever category it is,its a lesson .. We learn something from every mistake we make. I don't agree in not making a mistake in one's life. One cant be that pure, if there is one person who never ever made any mistake in his/her life.. I can just say they never learnt anything on their own in life. One have to make mistakes to learn something or to learn oneself sometimes. Lessons learnt from reading a book, travelling to new place ,meeting new people are different ways to get knowledge...But mistakes are Guru of all of them. Its an experience a person goes through inspite of others around warning not to do .I have made so many ...

House is quiet now without my little rat calling me every single minute to get attention.. Its boys date day to Zoo.. I was thinking about how time flies so fast and A is going to be 4 in 3 days..Thinking about his 3yrs, he had such an adventurous year..I really don't know how we did it and Im not sure we get to do this again..

Fairies...

Image
I believe in Fairies , trust me they exists.. I have seen them.. You think I'm one of those people who believe in superstitious things right..well, no..I'm actually talking about fairies who lives among us.. Humans sometimes even animals.. There are people who just do random act of kindness and walks out  without leaving a trace. I have experienced it more than once myself. I want to share one such event.. This happened nearly 13 yrs back, my friend X and I used to take GRE classes together..so we usually go in bus but that day we took her TVS-50.. She is a experienced biker (Well, its a bike)  and it was pretty much peak time.. She was cool driving it and I was sitting at the back.. Suddenly this guy in his Yamaha bike just zooms cross the road leaving us no time to think.. Our bike hit his.. I don't even remember how on earth we both escaped with just about nothing.. Our bike broke and the police came around asking us whether we would like to complain..We didn...

A Mom's Tale..

Image
Every birth is a tale, most of them seems normal to a mid wife/Doctor but for every mother its an experience to remember....You ask any mother, they can talk for a min or two about their story.. Mine started all merry and positive.. well, through out I would say and the end was even more merrier getting a specially made Just-for-me-cheeky-monkey..  But wait, there were twists and turns before the happily ever after... Just like any other working mom-to-be, I enjoyed all the attention I was getting everywhere..like commuting in trains (getting a priority seat) , getting special meal cooked for me by loved ones..And oh oh talk about the gender guessing game, there is always a theory about "The Guessing", either it could be the size of the belly or how much my feet is swollen or whatever.. I loved when strangers come to me and ask me, no actually tell me its a Girl or a Boy.. Some went really overboard on the guessing game by guessing twins..that was the high light...That cou...

Family Time..

Image
G and I grewup from a  small town and our granny's are from same village.. So most of our summer holidays spent at our granny's... on a hot day(Which is pretty much everyday) board games like  Palangkuzhi  ,Thayam (Ludo) ,Snake & Ladder will keep all the grand kids home and later when the day cools down we play backyard cricket, Gilli.. Those days, not every house had TV  forget about Smartphones/Wifi/Netflix/Foxtel/ Comcast..G and I always talked about  those summer holidays and how much fun we had playing with all our cousins.. Indeed a memory to Cherish... Pic of PalangKuzhi We always felt A will miss out on those fun, least we could do is to introduce those board games to him. We enjoy playing those games ourselves and we thought board games would make an excellent family time activity. Recently we have been playing quite often with A too , he is too young to think ahead(To get a 3 in the dice to win etc.,) but it helps him count and know the ...

Sharing is caring..

Image
This was my 4yr old son's response when I told him No for something last week.  I was surprised to hear such wise words  from him.I asked him what does this mean, he said we have to share with friends like toys & books etc.,. Mind you, this is the guy who never shared any toys with his close friend Y back in Busan. Then I asked him where did he hear this from, he said his day care teacher read him a story and its about "Sharing is Caring". Point is not about him, now at home I really have to take an extra step to show him Whats sharing ..he likes the idea of sharing his cereal/water with birds & ants(he will keep some everyday at our garden and he loves to see the place empty when he returns from day care). When I buy a candy for him, he now actually says he want to share it with his friend X.

Treating the retards...

Image
Waiting to write this article for long time, now is THE time.. This is for all those backward thinkers, please grow up. Oouch..Im sorry I have to be atleast this rude after 8 weeks of Job search(agree ,its not long at all)..Its not about the time, its about the response I was getting, 4yr BREAK Maternity break!!!. come on people, I took that break to take care of my child ..I WAS NOT IN COMA & LOOSE MY BRAIN completely. When I made this decision to take a long break even before I had my son, lot of people gave me a worrying look that it will be hard to get back to where I was before. It never bothered me, because this is what I wanted to do.. taking a break and spend time with my child. I was always confident about my knowledge and I was sure I will get a job when I wanted to return.. I started my job hunt after a month my son  joined new daycare just to be sure if I get a job immediately he shouldn't feel I'm leaving him in new place with no help..little did I kno...

How difficult is to be difficult..

Image
When I think about people being difficult at times or even imagining myself acting that difficult person in any particular situation, does it feel good? not sure. This thought comes to my mind when I think about my recent flight trip. This person who sat next to me had the seat spot light on the whole flight time(about 7hrs).Ok agree that why its seat spot light. But it was really bright (considering the local time at my place was almost 10pm and its sleep time) and worst part was that person was actually not doing anything expect watching a video in his/her mobile.. Then I thought about it, should I act all difficult and  ask the person to switch off the light or just go with it for rest of the flight. I don't know, what do you think I should've done.  If I ask her to switch off the light, and she doesn't then it causes a uncomfortable situation for the rest of the flight time. Or just live with it and not sleep at all whole time.. I did the later and I didn't l...
