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...

Family... Is there anything more comforting that this little word?

Family... Is there anything more comforting that this little word? Do think about that word: family? It may be just a word for many of us, but coming to this further- it means a lot for all of us. Basically, thinking of it- it is family that molds the world we live in today. I lived in a large family- where cousins, uncles and aunts all lived under one roof.  True, there was utter confusion, no chaos, and you can be sure to have a day full of noises, fights and yells! Literally, I have never witnessed a day of silence; but when I now sit and think about it- there was so much fun, love and happiness in it. We were never: - Fully fed with food that we craved for - Toys seemed to be in the hands of the mighty and the bold ones - Clothes were never abundant like these days as money was scarce. So, all that we were entitled to a once a year shopping spree and that was definitely for Christmas. Oh man, I could tell you – whether old or young- we ...
