Love can soothe anyone..So give a little love and it will back in double to you!




Hey, it’s ok, I am there for you...
Remember anyone telling you this? Take you time and think . Over the years, there may have many people, but then if you think a bit more- these sweet words were probably uttered by your mother or grandmother or maybe the lady who took care of you- in your early stages of life.

Ah, yes, now you may have recollected. From anywhere, and everywhere children comes up with some mess or the other and all these mommies hear are, “Mommmaaa!!”

As I had mentioned earlier, I lived in a large family, wherein more than 15 youngsters lived under one roof. Of course, we did not belong to one mother, but this was a joint family family system where the children of all the uncles and aunts- we, the cousins lives together.

Now, what I would bring up here is that- whatever be the day or the occasion, our mothers were always busy. I never realized this when I was young though, but as I grew up- this thought lingered on in my mind. When I started working and living on my own- I admired the work and patience my mother had to manage so many boisterous kids like us.

In normal cases, after a day’s work, I feel so dead tired. I would just slop off into my couch and doze away. That is when I thought- our mothers wake up in the early hours of the day and ensure all things are set, warm food is kept on the table, clothes cleaned and ironed to perfection and much more.

So, when do they get their My time? You must be thinking – now what is this new type of time?
In simple words, this is the time you as a person gets to relax and do whatever you like. It is your personal space where you can be just yourself- in your very own world. Often, mothers don’t get that, but I feel this My Time is very crucial for a sound mind and healthy body

However tired, mothers never cease to surprise us. Mothers with toddlers are epitomes of patience. Whatever be the situation, they are always ready to give you that helping hand. So, even if kids fight, or puke, or even mess their dresses....mommy is always there!

It’s sweet but, also think that they too are human beings and do need a bit of peace and rest. So, if anyone at home, can take over the baby or even look after the older children- then do so. It is because the lady of the house does need a break!

All of us, do get a rest at some point of the day, but once a mother- I feel that the work, and strain are endless. So, do think of them (your mothers, or wives, or sisters- I mean the moms) and lend a helping hand.

Just like normal people have the luxury of enjoying their very own personal space, so do these ladies. Just let them be on their own, read what they like, doze off if they like and maybe go for a date!

Their mind and body needs this rest and even they may be longing for it, often they don’t speak up about this problem. As family, this is the sweetest thing we can do for them.
So, give them their My Time and they will love you for that!

National or International: Do Children ought to know the daily news?

National or International: Do Children ought to know the daily news? We have all sorts of technology today. The young generation is indeed flooded (or maybe over flooded) with such technology  Kids of this age do use this a lot, but how far is it actually 'good'? If you understand what that means, you are a great observer! Now, back to my point- How many of our children are actually aware of the world around them? You see, apart from good food, parties, Iphones, and videos and mobile games, there is grey area in this world- that does not look very pleasant.    A world of hardship, a struggle for existence, success, career, diseases and so much more.  Kids ought to know.... If you do not make them aware, they will be lost and less equipped for the competitive future that lies ahead of them. Mama, what this? Not my boy, but I had an Indian family staying near our house about 5 years back. Their child was only 12 years, but he...

How I tried to decode the Tantrum Challenge?

How I tried to decode the Tantrum Challenge? A shout here, a scream and the next thing I see are a string of soft toys being hurled at me. I escape a few and then the last one hits right on my back! Whoa, that did hurt my neck a bit! Wondering what this is all about? An old experience I would like to relate to. Before that, I would like to give you a picture of my family. We have a huge family. I mean my dad had 7 brothers. These uncles got married and each one has their own sweet family. My dad was the eldest and I also happened among the eldest of the cousins. I have one elder brother and one elder sister and by the time I was 12 years old, they went off to study in graduation college. At that time, I guess it was the baby season and I had a lot of cousins aged between 2-5 years old. All our moms had a tradition- to relax once in a month. Freak out, Moms! Once in a month, the wives of all the 8 men planned an outing. It could be to the park or a cl...

Can someone suggest how to calm down a child with tantrums?

Can someone suggest how to calm down a child with tantrums? Tantrums, is a phase of toddler life that we all have to confront, face and cope up with. So, do you have a solution for this? I NEED THAT!!!! (this is tantrum zone, and this is all he says when he gets fussy) The time when you little baby is born is one of the most exciting moment of your life. Especially when you are a first time mom, the moment of realization that you actually carried a baby in your womb for nine months. I really don’t know- it is beyond words. The baby is so fragile, so dainty, so delicate and to top it all- so lovably adorable. I am not saying this because it happened to be my lil bundle of joy, but any new born is just too adorable. I mean you could stand and admire their toes, finger nails, their facial expressions, the way they go to sleep, smile and my list could go on. My confession: Till the baby is a bout 6- 9 months old, that cutie pie is surely a bundle of joy. Now...
