Are you a happy mommy?

"... I also want to be the best possible mother, but I know that my job as a mother includes bringing my children up so actually they can live without me.”

Do you agree? I do.

a sweet torture..this!

So the little one has started crawling.Crawling has made her very curios of the environment.She seems to be in a constant need to explore.and explore she does..everything that's potentially dangerous.Luckily we don't stock explosives in our house,else our darling would have made headlines for starting a World War IV.

Pollu now holds another job in testing,Expert Electric Socket Tester.Dear Mr.Owner,we are forever grateful to you,for you have been very child friendly to place 90% of the sockets in the household,within the reach of her little pinky.She doesn't waste a second and inserts a finger straight into the damn holes,the moment mamma catches a blink.

The other day,Mamma walked into the room with a feeding bowl in hand and got a massive heart attack to find the baby missing..poof! just like that.The worried Mamma went paranoid for a minute if the baby was air-lifted by aliens to make their life interesting in outer space.Thankfully,Pollu still remains with us and was found later busy behind the door,in a mission to crack an entry to a room of requirement,hidden in that dusty corner.

Pollu pulls the medicine drawer often to inspect the tablet strips and throws them out joyfully.(Yes,yes I did check those aren't outdated yet).Yesterday,she was reading through a NizerD strip and suddenly started chewing on it.The Pappa asked Mamma to relax and commented..that the poor little baby might have just had an headache.

Pollu has testing in her genes,of that we are aware.She is also gonna be a tech savvy babe in future...sample this,she goes bang bang with her palm on the iPad drums App,while she does tickling actions when the iPad menu screen comes on.Nothing excites her like the very sight of the laptop.She comes crawling in full swing,seeing the laptop and tries to type ..the first letter she typed was an A.Yay!! She even managed to play the coco-jumbo video on the iPad doing some random search.How cool is that ?!

Like her name,Pollu has been sleeping like a Princess stretching her extended tiny self to the max horizontally...forcing us her humble captives to sleep on our sides to fit ourselves giants in the teeny space.Why are Europeans content with the queen size beds?! Oh dear Lord.Mamma goes like a jam between a sandwich slice..waking up with body aches in weird places.Pappa layer never dares to turn an inch in sleep for fear of falling down the bed,with a loud thud and waking any old soul in this apartment..considering this was built during the world war I.

Here is a comic strip the hubby forwarded this morning.

Looks absolutely crazy and blown out.But hey,you innocent expecting couples do take our word.. when you will have your hyperactive uber cute baby, these scenes will hold very true.The day, dear Hubby is gonna be chucked out of the bed into a sofa seems very near.Yeah, cosleeping with baby n hubby is sure to make you decide in favour of the baby.Invest in a dark-circle-erasing-under-eye-cream or a sofa-cum-bed.Choice is yours!!

A Mother's diary.. the WOW moments!

..I teach you to say 'Ma-Ma' and you look into my eyes and say 'Pa-Pa' slowly
..trimming your tiny nail in that little pinky
..feeding you a bowl without a morsel to trash
..seeing that diaper rash cream unused for so long
..you stop crying the very instant you see your teddy
..you reach out for Mamma after playing with Pappa
..you pull Pappa's chain like he is your pet puppy
..you lift your sipper and feed your diaper
..you smile while you are dreaming
..you pedal your invisible cycle in full speed
..you paint your face with the baby powder
..you take the biggest bite and spit it right out
..you gape with mouth wide open seeing that bridge
..you bite your gums with clenched fists when angry
..you scream when the villain in that movie screamed
..you are asleep holding mamma tight,chaining her with your legs
..you take positions as if in a race..on the mark..get set and then sit
..you are up in the air laughing with delight as Pappa tosses you high
..you laugh and clap while watching your favourite video as if you understand
..you create a big mess and smile innocently as if Mamma is to be blamed
..

The Little One

We sat on the tables up so high,

And cry for the sock,the shoe & the tie,
Dressing up was a race,in that naughty phase,

Rushing a school bus we would chase.

"Take care of the little one",mom would say,
As we bid her goodbye on our way.

Together we fought for food and toy,
Childhood memoirs has so much joy.
The world we faced with a smile in our face,

School then college then jobs were next phase.

You worked bit far and toiled so hard,

Life was a race or so we thought.
You cherished those gifts that I bought,
Until a day you trashed a lot,
Indeed I said,you had grown up a lot.

Marriage I sat,smiling with my groom,

While you ran around like a sleepless racoon,

Last minute plans,had but no chance,
You went all the way,to others dismay,

Did all you could,as a grown up man should.

Your heart so loyal and your love so true,
You cared for so real,for your soul was so pure.

You are the first one to rush,if I ever am in a mess.

I kept counting my penny,for bills were so many,
You didn't like it honey,but I had not much money.

Life moved on..and my baby came on.

Ask you I must, for you are the one I trust,
Guide her like I did,if I ever get rid.

Side by side or miles away,my love for you would just stay,
You are my pillar and my super power,
Born again if ever,in galaxies apart,
I will still find a way,through the milky way!

From the Eve's Garden

..a clever way this,to lure us women folk.wat say?

Miss you my friends

"Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance;
they make the latitudes and longitudes"
~Henry David Thoreau

The morning newspaper headlines glanced in a hurry,
the 'only-to-office' wears resting in the cupboard,
the crazy auto-rickshaw challenges,
the rush-hour moments to attend meetings,
the forward mails sent & received from good friends,
the makeup touch-ups in the washroom,
the first coffee break,
the gossip breaks,
the lunch breaks,
the month-end birthday parties
&
the laughing Gandhian notes
..all these dont create a void in my heart
but your status messages do.

buddy SA - Offline

buddy V - Do not disturb

buddy P - Invisible

buddy N - Busy

buddy S - Away

buddy SM - In a meeting & ...

Do all these status-es imply - " We gotta job to do..unlike you " ?
How I wish your smiling thumbnails could talk to me now like the potter era.
Sob.Sob.
I miss you folks.I really do.

Oh,wait a sec..

"uuuaaaaahhh...ammeeahhh...uuuaaaaahhh"".
Alright now.My no-pay-high-demand boss has woken up.
I gotta report back to duty.
Sign-out.
