We would usually tell her that Mumma needs to go to office as we need money… Continue reading When a 5 year old made me realise all that we talk about equality is futile …

She kicked her way into this world with aplomb. A 13 hour labour which left me exhausted for the first 2 hours and then came a saviour called “Epidural”. The delivery process was then a cakewalk, literally. I lay in my bed comfortably, laughing and chatting, a part of my eager to catch the first… Continue reading Parenting Woes #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z

I got my first period when I was 11. It wasn’t a shock to me as I knew about periods when I was 4. One day  I saw Mumma take out a pad from the cupboard and walk towards the bathroom. “What is that?” A curious 4 year old asked. Grandma was sitting nearby. She… Continue reading Growing up #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z

As an infant, I gave sleepless nights to Mommy and Daddy as I was always hungry, my appetite just couldn’t be satiated. The more Mommy fed me her milk, the more hungry I would get and refused to sleep. One night I cried my lungs out and turned tomato red by 5 am. A panicky… Continue reading Decoding the Milky mystery#AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z

The birthing experience, which thankfully was not as messy and painful as I had imagined it to be, is what contributed to this being a pleasant memory. When I was carrying my child,… Continue reading Baby on board- here is what you need to know about your baby’s food and development
