The Maalishwaali

I have been meaning to write about Manda Tai for a long time, but have been postponing it because I am still trying to find a picture of her in my photo archives. I was reading a post by Monika on maalish and that reminded me again. As I still can’t find the pics, this [...]

TOIW I get all filmy and dramatic..

I officially can not listen to this and this anymore. I religiously skip them on my iPod everytime they play.
Because if I do, I listen to the lyrics and once I listen to those, I ‘m pretty much doomed.  I start getting a twist in my gut which rises to my chest till I have [...]

He took [...]

A day in the life of Munchkin

8:30 a.m : Wake up. If hungry, bawl the place down. If not, quietly get off the bed and crawl outside looking for Mommy.
8:30 a.m to 9:00 a.m: Generally look cute,what with the mussed up hair and the cute puffy eyes and snuggle against any one parent.(Truth be told, parents enjoy this more because the [...]

“Slap her…She’s a C-sec Mom!”

 I have been thinking about this for a few days now. This is inspired by a conversation I had with Poppin’s Mom when I met her recently. She wanted to know why I was so comfortable with the fact that I had a C-section and why it didn’t bother me at all.
 
For many reasons. Firstly [...]

So ,tell me ladies, what are you feeding your wee ones?

I wish I had started the Munchkin on solids after the third month only as is traditionally done. But since all modern literature on this asks us to not give the baby anything except breast milk/formula for the first six months, I dilly dallied for quite a while on this.I kept debating as to which [...]
