Mamma Perfectionist in a trouble

Shanaya was pleased to see her mother when she arrived to stay back with her for a week.  After hugging her Shanaya tears dropped, this was unusual as Shanaya and her parents lived in same city and would meet often.  Shanaya’s mother Madhulika sensed something was not right with her daughter. Madhulika was a lady with a strong aura and was leading professor of soft skills before her retirement.

Shanaya’s son Yuvin made Madhulika visits her daughter more often these days, but this visit was not for Yuvin it was for Shanaya, as she could make out that Shanaya is worried over something and was not sharing. Madhulika was waiting for the right time to talk to her daughter.  Shanaya very carefully prepared meals for her 15-month-old toddler and instructed her helper for each task with minute details. Her mother knew how perfectionist is Shanaya but some thing was taking toll on her.

When Yuvin was taking afternoon nap Shanaya sat with her mother to chat and simultaneously switched on laptop to book tickets and hotels for their upcoming vacation with her son for the first time after Yuvin was born.

Madhulika asked Shanaya, “What happened Sanu”, she called Sanaya Sanu with love.

Shanaya took few seconds and said “Nothing Ma”, and peeped into laptop with more confusion.

Book Review: How I TAUGHT my GRANDMOTHER to READ and other stories by Sudha Murthy

Reading stories of great personalities and understanding the thought process behind it always tops my list when I read autobiographies. But my daughter is young to read and understand such philosophies, so I gifted this book to her on Christmas. And guess what I also could relate with each of the story in the book.

What’s Book About:

The book ‘How I taught my Grandmother to read and other stories’ written by Sudha Murthy is a collection of 24 short stories, each packed with bundle of wisdom. I feel people like Sudha Murthy has so much to convey in each story that one can take out at least 2 morals from each story. Stories from her personal note are so interesting read that one could follow the path of her journey to be a person like her.

Unusual Duo

“Wow! Weather is perfect for some hot simmering tea”, Sudha called Dishi in the balcony for evening snacks keeping the tray of Dishi’s favorites.

“The fragrance of sand and the sound of water showering are awesome”, Dishi said excitingly seating next to Sudha carefully.

Sudha quickly grabbed a chair and was happy to see a smile on Dishi's face. They both devoured into snacks and tea and enjoyed the moment silently.

6 Best Unscented Baby Wipes in India

Newborn babies have very special features with them, they are so adorable, innocent and their expressions can make your day. One more feature that is prominent in newborns and toddlers is their fragrance.

Baby fragrance is so gentle that I as a parent don’t want it to merge with any baby product too. We often observe that most of us find some fragrances a bit disturbing. Like wise our little one may not like strong fragrance found in some of the baby products. And any kind of fragrance can be irritating to your little bundle of joy too.

Toddlers are delicate and the baby products used for them should be as natural as possible. One of the most used products round the clock is a baby wet wipe; yes we use to clean them up, to freshen up so this product has to be carefully chosen. There are plenty in market to choose from, but these are the 6 best-unscented baby wipes in India.

Cherish your favorite memories together with a Portrait painting

Didn’t we all have some or the other memory or moment that we wish could come again and again in our life? These are the days that we live for and these are the memories that define our life. 

In the end all the material objects that you collect may not be useful or even remembered. What will be remembered is the impact that you have had on people’s life. So you should always ask yourself this question. What is my legacy? What is my impact on the world?

How Parenting can make #AGenerationWithoutGenderBias

Raising children without being judgmental about their behavioral traits and more over on their gender is a huge change a parent can make to this society where by giving equal space for their son’s and daughter’s. We have joined in this campaign #agenerationwithoutgenderbias to voice our words over this issue hoping to imbibe change of thinking and mindset towards the concerns of gender bias.

You agree or not we are living in society where we hear a lot about gender bias and gender equality. We are not making girls superior or boys superior in this gender bias campaign what we are voicing is the equality that needs to be showered and the considerations one need to give to a human irrespective of gender.

Now the question comes is how can we have a society that is free of such pre mindsets over genders.
