An Honest Chat with My Husband: Giggles, Dishooms & Dad Wisdom
On Father’s Day, I was buried in work, typing away on my computer, completely focused, until I suddenly heard giggles, laughter, and dramatic sound effects like “dishooom!” and “daaaamaar!” I turned around to find my husband and our little one rolling around on the bed, cuddling and mock-fighting like best friends. That moment pulled me…
A Relaxing Trip to Shakleshpur
Like every cousin trip, I assumed ours would begin and will end within a WhatsApp chat. I assumed the trip to Sakleshpur would be just another plan that will never make it past the talking stage. Then my mom called, updating me about the planning in progress after speaking with my aunt and cousins. Still,…
Does Cocomelon Affect Your Kids Brain
As a first time parent, everything felt new and unfamiliar. I picked up bits of knowledge from the internet, some from doctors, some from elders, and a lot through personal experience. Whether the advice we receive is right or wrong, and no matter how many people surround us with their opinions, the final decision always…
Which Board did I Choose for my 3-Year-Old Kid
When my son turned two, I wanted to enroll him in a playgroup where he could interact with other children his age, have fun, and learn about the world through experience. I intended for my son to explore the world, not to focus on learning the alphabets, numbers, or theories at this stage. Today, preschools…
Cousins Reunion: Cherishing Memories
Growing along with your cousins holds lots of memories. I grew up around cousins. I never valued the relationship until a few years back, when I began to understand its importance. Cousins can hold bonds together. Cousins : “A little bit of crazy, a little bit of loud, and a whole lot of love.” —…
Living a Slow Life
In the busy world of hustling, I failed to remember that a slow life does exist. The month of June reminded me to revisit a slow, peaceful life. Slow living provides an opportunity to step back, pay attention, and question the ways we use technology, to recalibrate our relationship with the constantly switched-on, logged-in world…

May has been a month of joy, relaxation, and a bustling one. I would love to share with you all the favourite moments and experiences I enjoyed this month. The Pleasantness of the Community A year back, we moved to an apartment in a gated community. Day one started like, “I didn’t know who my…
Two Years of Motherhood
After two years of being a parent, I have lots to cherish and lament as well. Are you ready to hear?😆 We celebrated our son’s second birthday. As a mom, mixed emotions were running through my mind when the knife sliced through the three-tire-themed cake. The cow’s fondant placed on the cake fell on the…
Live the Moment
I have rarely heard people say live the moment but I didn’t realise it until I became a mom. When I was a young adult who entered into the IT industry, I was ambitious and was dreaming of climbing the ladder concerning my career and wanted to be busy everyday, every single minute, and was…
Unprompt Travel
On Christmas Eve, your family requests that you pack a bag for Christmas dinner and an overnight stay. While I’m always prepared no matter where you call me, packing is usually straightforward for me. However, this time, I have to consider packing for my toddler. Fortunately, since it’s just a one-day stay, I didn’t need…
Mompreneurship – Challenges of Quitting a Full-Time Job as a New Mom
As the ray of morning sunlight breaks into the room, penetrating through the curtain, and falls soft on my face beneath the quilt, a moaning sound awakes me up to see my son staring, just lying next to me with a wide smile on his face. That’s the best morning view of my life. The…
