Supermom

Yeah! I feel like a Supermom! Wish I had that cape. The only thing left for me to do is fly!

To me, being a mom means :

Waking up early
Preparing baby's breakfast
Soaking an almond for the baby
Making the bitter medicine paste for the baby
Changing the diaper as soon as he wakes up
Brushing his teeth
Preparing for our breakfast
Feeding the baby breakfast- that takes pretty long, mind you!
Taking him down to say 'ta-ta' to Papa
Strolling in the garden and showing the baby butterflies, grass, clouds, cat and everything that is there to see!
Coming back home and having my breakfast with the baby tugging at me all the time. It's difficult to eat that way!
Potty time! Cleaning baby's potty
Massaging him with baby oil
Bathing him and letting him play for long in the tub with splashes of water thrown at me!
Making him sleep after his bath
Bathing, cooking for the baby, lunch and my design work is done ONLY when he's sleeping! Woof!
Feeding the baby lunch when he wakes up, making me follow him all around the house
Reading to him in the afternoon. From teddy bears to trucks...we have so many books to see!
Playing ball and other musical toys
Preparing for his evening snack and dinner, with him tugging at me, crying, screaming and everything else that he can do to get my attention
Feeding him his snack - mixed fruit smoothie!
Freshen him up and dress him for his evening outing
An hour of walking on the road and in the compound, showing him all the different things around
Come back home, change his clothes and feed him dinner, again running after him
By then, Papa's back and he takes baby for yet another outing
Till then I finish my dinner
When he's back, it's bath time. Till then, papa's finishes dinner
Washing baby's utensils that have been used throughout the day. I don't trust the maid with them
Sterilising the sippy cups and spoons
Sleep time now! Making baby sleep a goodnight's sleep
After that, it's my turn to go for a shower
Reading my Sai Satcharita before I call it a night...
I can't call it a night just yet!!
I start my design jobs at 12 a.m and usually work till 2 in the night
Sleep and wait for the alarm to go off early in the morning.

SUPERMOM! Don't you think so?

In My Life...

Image
There are places I'll remember All my life Though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain Saket, My home in Vile Parle. The bungalow still stands but gone are the 'Otlaa's - where we sat and passed many idle moments in our childhood. Gone is the 'Paachad no compound' - where we collected 'lucky stones' for a game of Hop-skotch. Gone are those artistic metal gates on which we stood and kicked them to open and shut. Gone is that corner where I spent making mud cakes. Namiella, the neighbourhood building. That too stands till now...looking ill-maintained and old. The pre-school in it's compound still exists. That's where we all studied. We called it the 'Alvares' school - after Mrs. Alvares, the principal and the owner. Nagrecha Nivas, another building in the neighbourhood. A joint family seperated and living on different floors. With fights galore. Abuses, insults and some very entertaining and

Understanding God

I've read a lot about how one should think of God as a Mother. Paramhansa Yogananda has spoken many times about this but it was difficult for me to take God as a parent - untill I became a mother. He said one should leave everything to God. Submit yourself and depend solely on Him. He knows what's good and bad for you. I feel only a mother can truly understand this concept and I am glad I was not born a man. When my baby finds comfort in my arms, I feel I should find this comfort in God. When my baby depends on me completely - for changing his wet nappies to making him go to sleep, I feel I should depend completely on God for my daily requirements. When I intuitively come to know there's something wrong with my baby, I feel God too must surely know when I'm in trouble and help me. When I give a bitter medicine to my baby in time of sickness, I feel God too must be giving me difficulties so that I can come out being a stronger person. When I wipe the tears from my baby&#

Ooty - Beauty, Tea and Spooky!

Image
In July, my husband and I took off for a holiday to Ooty (Udhagamund). I had seen countless Hindi film songs picturised in the Nilgiris and known of innumerable newly married couples romancing in the boats of the Ooty Lake. And this was the first time I was going there. Our flight landed at Coimbatore and we found the car we had hired, waiting to take us to Ooty. The 3 hour drive was full of dangerous turns, some charming landscape and bright green tea plantations.Was it beautiful?! Yes, it was! And with the beauty, was a chill in the strong winds that were accompanied by the scent of the eucalyptus. We reached the Taj and were warmly welcomed with fresh grape juice. A cottage, more than 150 years old was where we were led by the hotel staff. The colonial structure that stood in front of us looked very inviting. Once inside, it was as though we had been transported to the last century. Wooden flooring, a huge fireplace, watercolour paintings, antique furniture and a cozy foyer with two
