"My sister coming down from New Zealand to stay with me with her two young daughter.She is coming after such along time.Need to find out nearby places for weekend outing.I also have got few salwar suits stitched for my nieces.They don't get all these over there no.Every time she sends me beautiful gifts from there.This time will buy something nice for her..." Harsh was unstoppable. Recently she had developed friendship with Harsh.Within few months now she had started admiring her.Working lady with teenage kids.Most of the times she would be tired in the evening. Pollution  ..health issues ..office problems ..sometimes newly stitched dresses.. kids tantrum would be subject of discussion which would often end with "we should meet often it is stress busters" or "we should pay more attention to our health kind of things.Usual ladies talk..she was the only working person in house but she never complained about it.Nitu was glad to see Harsh delighted. ...

Few days back got one forwarded message on whats-app about #Tech-Kid and it really triggered lot many thoughts regarding technology, kids, as a parent role that we play in introducing technology to our kids.  Gave title to this write up and thought is it really appropriate ? I mean do kids of this Alpha generation really have this option of to be or not to be?By default or by birth they are Tech-kids growing up with ipads and smart phones in hands and completing pending homework posted on whatzpp apps..They are smart, fast and super curious.They relate to things and can express themselves so well ..know exactly what they want. With world coming closer and loads of information available at fingertips hope as a parent we can help them understand difference between information and knowledge. Curious young minds are open and ready to explore every possibility they see. May be we have to be more open and less protective. Cupboards are full of cars,board games expensive gifts...

"Wow!We have master chef competition this month!" I tried to bring as much enthusiasm as possible in my voice.. "जाऊदे गा mumma ...teacher नाहीतरी मला prize देतच नाही .."---- "अरे सोना असा नाही you should participate..teacher सगळ्यांना कसे  prize देणार ना।  prize तर  दोनच and you all are 40 in class...participation is also important you will have fun..we will prepare something nice and then if everyone is making something and you sitting idle you will get bored na.."--- This much gyan was enough..he quickly agreed or may be by age of 8 he has already understood at times its better to agree than argue.. He said yes and got busy with his play but there I rolled up my sleeves.By now even i have understood this master chef competition is more for parents than kids to showcase their talent and creativity.(we are having this competition since kindergarten..so almost done with 3 rounds..when they expect kids (or pare...

Last 15 days we are hooked on to stories of Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha kills different demons taking different forms Mayureshwar..Ekadanta..Vakratunda.. and we are pretty impressed by his power. Early morning in these chilly winter days its so difficult to get up..but this Mumma does not understand anything.Daily she wakes me up early morning(i.e.process starts 6:30 AM and I get up at 6:45AM and bus time is 7AM so every minute counts ..15 minutes activities include bath,brush,dressing up,milk ,shoes and 3 minutes walk till gate..everything plus last minute pencil sharpen and searching for forgotten scales..mind it..)Anyway.. So point is mumma is really not been fair. And today its just too much I am saying no I don't want to get up but she is not ready to budge.. Mumma..तुझा खूप जास्त होतय ...तुझे  atrocities day by day वाढतच चालल्या आहेत। .. 😂😂😂.. Atrocities .... this is Ganehsa Effect...so mumma is demon is it 😂😂😂

In the evening he was all set to show me green peas plant.We marched towards other side of complex to see it and there was a small bush having greens fruits resembling green peas. खरंच रे !हे अगदी ग्रीन peas सारखंच आहे ! पण हे ग्रीन Peas नाही दुसरं आहे कारण सगळे ग्रीन peas ग्रीन असले पाहिजेत ना yellow कसे असतील (Now I really wanted the facts..what if in excitement he eats those fruits considering green peas..and what if they are poisonous:(..worried me..) And thankfully there were some yellow fruits along with green :) By the way that night after going home we saw green peas plant on google:). Just wonderi...
