Why is Noah like this?
Its been a long time that I've written. Or for that matter, the other mommies on this blog. I guess, everybody is so busy 'just about managing' here, that blogging seems to be the last thing on our minds. Maya is now 6 & Noah turned 1 in july. But he's been ill on & off all of last month. Even his birthday, he spent asleep on my lap with high fever... more...

Noah was asleep. Since its diwali hols, sleeping deadlines for maya are a lil relaxed. Among the ads that play again & again in between the numerous breaks, ther... more...

Hunting for 'help'
The posts are few & far in between now. Was trying to juggle looking after Maya, Noah & managing home. Now that my maternity leave's over, i have one more thing added to my list. Have just begun working from home. And am struggling. I had a lady to help with the baby & dusting, running around etc. But she decided to leave a month back...just like t... more...

Baby's here...
...its a boy :-)Wanted to write earlier. But just couldn’t find the time. Baby was born on 30th july at around 10 pm. – 9 days early.  We’re calling him Noah. On surfing the net we found that Noah’s a hebrew name - means ‘peaceful.’ Well….on some days he’s anything but that. In the past one & a half months he’s been through bouts of colic in the ev... more...

Girl versus Boy
I was sitting outside this weekend watching maya play with her building friends. That’s when I saw this lady at the ground floor house window. She’d just had a baby girl a few weeks back. So I went up to the window to talk to her. ‘Congratulations!’ I said. ‘It’s a baby girl’ she replied morosely. ‘I know…’ I said, a little shocked at her reaction.... more...

Thanx & Random ramblings
Thanx for all the ‘things will soon be alrite’ mssgs & advice I got for my previous post.I also spoke with other mommies who were going thru a similar phase & it definitely made me feel better.  Maya too is behaving herself - for now. School’s begun so she’s got other things to occupy her like, ‘my teacher said my drawing is bad’ or  ‘ritika ne muj... more...

Happy mother's day
Mother’s day is coming up. But I’m not in a particularly joyous mood today.  I just learnt from my sis-in-law & mom that maya has been, since a while, troubling her 1 ½ year old baby cousin brother. Like pushing him, kicking him & yesterday asking if he was dead when he stopped his breath while crying (coz she kicked him). Tho I don’t know how much... more...

The perfect mom?
Nearly a year ago, I spent some time with my younger sister. She was a new mom; her baby was just over four months old. Among other things, we talked about what being a mommy felt like. And here’s what I found most surprising. My sister wanted to change. She’s passionate about food and it shows. She’s full of energy about certain things, and lazy c... more...

Physics and Music
Can we define music? Most of us may agree that it is bourn by a time series, jointly or independently, of amplitude, frequency and complexity, three fundamental well-known parameters used in physics.

You might not have known this,  but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.  Here are some examples:  FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
