WIsh time could stop here, forever...

Can't believe, I am coming back to this space after years. So many changes, so many new things to share and one thing is same - My love for my kiddos. The only form of pure love known to mankind -  a Mom's love for her kids. I just wish the time could stop for a while and I could enjoy my kids for a lil longer.

Kids are the biggest blessings of God and the day I held my first born in my hands, my whole life turned around. There was something in his eyes that made me feel more responsible, more in love and more like an adult.

I wish I could just pause time and just enjoy watching my kids play in front of me...

Time is flying...

Is it ?
Really...It is.
I cannot believe, it has been almost a year since I last updated my blog...something I was so passionate about at a point of time and still am but the priorities have changed and my focus is clear. Nothing else makes me happier than my son's smile and when he says," I love you". I wish and pray for all the good things in life for him.
One thing is for sure, every individual needs to make his/her own choices based on the circumstances and not on what the world tells them to. If a woman does not leave his job and concentrate on family, she is questioned everyday about how she manages the family, her kid, her husband....On the other hand, if she quits her job and decides to be at home, to raise her kids, she is coaxed again for different reasons :) When will you start working again, your kid has grown up now, why don't you look for work somewhere...Why cant people just mind their own business and let others live, the way they want to? The world will be such a happy place, if we all learn to respect each other as individuals and respect other's decisions without being over-critical. Cheers to world peace :)

Mom, leave my hand ...

Motherhood is a strange feeling and everyday is full of so many surprises...

Every new thing that the baby starts doing is a great source of joy to the parents.
Our lil bundle of joy loves walking these days. And me being a kind of mom that I am ..I take him for a walk, holding his hand. Today, he screamed and made me leave his hand as if he was saying, " Mom, leave my hand...".

That moment was full of so many mixed feelings for me. There was this great feeling that he is growing and wants to do things on his own and then there was this feeling that he is seeking independence, he wants to leave me and go ahead.

Oh, I cant explain in in words but I guess this is natural and he is doin what nature makes us all do...Grow up and finally be independent and then eventually take responsibility of someone so beautiful and significant in our lives, a baby.

Life away from India!!!

It has been almost 2 months since we relocated from Bangalore, India...Life in United States has been good(with God's grace), but there is something that ties me down to India...

They say, living conditions in U.S. are better, traffic is less, basic amenities are in place but nothing pleases my Indian heart. I am too desi to live away from India, miss the warmth of my country..Yes, there is traffic, yes there are some problems but then which country does not have any problems???

The greatest source of happiness these days is seeing my son growing up, doing new things everyday, following me everywhere I go. Sometimes, I wonder how could I ever live without my lil bundle of joy. When I took a break from work, I thought it would be difficult for a workaholic like me to be a stay-at-home mom, but my lil angel never let me feel so. It is a bliss to be with him 24x7 and I feel blessed to have been able to leave work for sometime and be with him. Touchwood!!!

Proud mommy of a 2 month young infant :)

Hmmmm....Got up Friday morning and realized...I am now mom of a two month young infant...
When I look back at the pictures and videos of the baby, I can clearly figure out how much has he changed over these two months...his face has changed quite a bit(we cant still figure out whom does he resemble more: his mom or his dad :) ), his eyelashes are full , his eyebrows are growing and he seems to recognize people now ...Wonder, how time is flying by so swiftly...
It is extremely satisfying experience to see him grow from a fresh-out-of-womb baby to a two month old infant. His smile just melts my heart away. In the time to come, I look forward to see you grow, betu...
Happy two-month birthday, my dear!!!
Wishing you many more B'days ...Amen!!!

Happy Women's Day!!!

This blog is dedicated to all the women..I know...Cheers to all the women achievers and when I say women achievers, that essentially does not mean working women winning awards, accomplishing extraordinary things but also those homemakers, who put in their lives for their families.

I often ask this question to myself, if women are considered to be devis, then why is that the rate of domestic violence, rape, molestation, eve teasing is so high? Why women are still considered to be an inferior sex? Why does our male chauvinistic society still think that a woman has to work twice as hard as her male counterparts to prove as good as them? Why our Indian society still feels blessed when a baby boy is born and depressed when a girl child is born?

Well, honestly, these questions are beyond me and I do not have any answer but my heart bleeds when I hear about discrimination against women, when I hear that women are being attacked in a place like Bangalore just because they do not conform to dress code of some chauvinists.Which world are we living in?

Do we know the meaning of woman's day after all?If we cannot respect women whom we know, what does it mean to celebrate such a day, after all...

Its we, the women who have to stand against the prejudice..we have to ensure that our generations to come do not come face to face with such circumstances...we have to ensure that we, the women, will ensure that we do not form the part of the society, which is biased against women..And hope to celebrate women's day someday in a world, which truly respects women and recognizes their contribution...
Amen...
Happy women's day!!!

Where is MNS?

It has been more than 50 hours now, and I am amazed that none of the MNS workers or the leader(Read Mr. Thackeray) have appeared and offered to save Mumbai from terror attack.

They were the ones who were separating Maharashtra some days back and kicking non-Mumbaikar's out of Mumbai...What an irony... Many Hindi speaking bhaiyyas(as they were called by MNS) are now part of armed forces, sacrificing their lives to save Mumbai, which MNS thought was their property....

May God bless them with some intelligence, atleast now !!!
