But hey, I had to eat my own words the day Ashu… Continue reading All for Love #FictionMondays

Growing up too fast my baby girl
We cant wait for them to grow up, so that we have time for ourselves. But when they do, we miss those little things, those precious moments that are etched in our memories and imprinted in our hearts. What an irony, isn’t it?

Online classes and here is where we as parents are getting it wrong
Until the start of academic year 2020-21, we parents were blissfully unaware of the teaching methodology in school- yes most of us looked at the syllabus, home work, prepared our wards for competitions and various activities in school and asked them about what did they learn at school- but we weren’t physically present to see… Continue reading Online classes and here is where we as parents are getting it wrong

Here is why I get my kid vaccinated for influenza every year #IPromiseToStopFlu
As a mom of a 4 year old, one of the biggest worries I have is my daughter’s eating and her illness. Eating- because she is very picky and meal times tend to stretch a lot.

The second worry has… Continue reading Here is why I get my kid vaccinated for influenza every year #IPromiseToStopFlu
Bibliophile Brewing- Raising a reader
One of my earliest memories of books is my mother reading to me when I was around 4-5 years old. We would sit curled up in bed as she read from a colourful book. I don’t exactly recall when I started reading by myself and got drawn into the world of books so much that… Continue reading Bibliophile Brewing- Raising a reader
Small Great Things-here is why as a dusky woman, I could relate to this book so much.
I have always been a die hard fan of Jodi Picoult. I started off with “My Sister’s Keeper” and I knew I had found an author whose books I can truly treasure. They are not the fairytale, romantic books, but talk of death, disease, court cases, despair, grief but at the same time, there is… Continue reading Small Great Things-here is why as a dusky woman, I could relate to this book so much.
