Dear baby,

Happy new year!!!

Let's talk serious today.
25, 30 or may be 35 years down the line, there will come a time when you would start thinking to start your own little family. (We will be fine even if you not go to that path at all) but if you do, even the thought of having a kid will be stressful.

The thought of having a tiny tot, who is totally dependent on you and knows nothing but breathing and feeding and crying, is scary. The dilemma of having or not having a kid would certainly arise.

That day I want you to read this letter. (Hope we are on good terms till then :P)

Though I have no idea about parenthood and I don't know if I would be the kind of mother to whom you will look towards for having an advice or not. But I want you (and everyone else too) to know how wonderful it feels to have someone growing inside you.

My pregnancy has made me a more satisfied, happier, more kind, more loving, more appreciative and more positive.

I've started smiling at people when they stare at my protruding belly. I have started complimenting totally unknown women. I have started offering fruits to random kids.

I smile at the sight of kids with their parents...kids Waiting for the bus and kids having meltdowns in departmental stores amuse me equally.

My faith in humanity has suddenly been restored as everyone seems to have kind of care in their eyes. Whether it is someone closing or opening lift's door for me or someone offering to share my load... The world seems to be a better place suddenly.

I feel less insecure while walking on the roads as a trust in mankind is born even before your birth. May be because I want to pass on all the positivity your way. I keep telling you that you are going to love this bright beautiful world which is waiting for you with wide open arms and loads of love and opportunities.

This is what pregnancy does to you...This is what having a kid in your world does to you.

And if even after reading this, you are not ready to bring a grand child in our lives then feel free. We will never question you life choices.

And yes, a kid may come from you or cone TO you from the lot of improvised children... It will still be yours ..Ours...As long as it has our values and upbringing.

P.S. it seems that I was way to positive on the day when I wrote it. Otherwise I am not that optimistic and 5he world seems quite scary a place to rear a child today.

For the sake of love!!!

Have you ever been to a wedding? Ofcourse, you have! Then have you ever wondered about the story behind a wedding? A story that these two people, who are the most confused on their big day, may have? I always think about it. And try to have a sneak peek into their story, if possible. And then, I exclaim at their reasons to get married... 👉 Because mummy Papa said he is the right one for me. 👉 Because I am 29 and want to get settled. 👉 Because he earns well. 👉 Because my ex left me. I want to show him. 👉 Because he can afford my kind of lifestyle. Be a little more daring and ask parents of bride and groom about their reasons to choose this very Munda or kudi. And the typical answers you will hear are... 👉 Because we are of same status. 👉 Because he did engineering from so-so institute. 👉 Because she is ambitious and dono mil ke kamayenge. 👉 Because they will "let her" do job. 👉 Because family is so open-minded that they "allow" their DILs to...

No Diwali shopping for us...

Dear baby, Today, I had a little argument with your mausi. She was asking me to buy you new clothes for Diwali. I was saying that we still have 4-5 new dresses and those are perfect for Diwali. She was not convinced. Then your nani also lectured me some for not buying new clothes for Diwali. I tried to tell them that in past people did not have the luxury of buying new clothes every other month, infact, going to the markets was a luxury in itself. So they used to wait for festivals to go to the market and splurge on shopping. The rarity of this was a charm in itself to mark the beginning of the festivities. But.. today, we go outside every other day. Malls are a place to hang out and if you see something CUTE for the kids, the temptation is too hard to resist. Even if you don't go outside then online shopping is there. Hardly goes a month or two when I am not buying some dress or some toys as you are outgrowing your stuff so quickly. Then why all this halla gulla about Diwali ...

Two Fairies and the monster of Gender Discrimination

Ira and Maan were siblings and apple of their parent's eyes. Ira was 9 years and Maan was 7 years old. Today, they are going to their Nani's place as mummy needs to attend a conference in Delhi. So she will drop them at nani's place and pick them up on her way back. This is the first time when they would stay at nani's without mummy and that too for a good whole week.... Ira and Maan are so looking forward to spending their winter vacations at nani's place. Both the kids were too happy to be with their many many cousins. Days were filled with all sort of games and nights were peaceful.  But something was constantly bothering Ira. She was noticing that Nani always discriminates between girls and boys. No, it was not that she loved one child more or less than others but it was a subconscious thing. She will ask Ira to peel the peas and Maan was supposed to go out and bring things from nearby shop. Ira's duty was to help her aunts in serving food while Ma...
