From the day a child is born in family everyone right from parents to elders get into a mission to teach and guide the baby.No one can deny the fact that love, time and patience that we put in to help our baby learn right from first smile till being able to hold neck independently, eat and take first steps.Every first of baby be it first steps, first words, first letters, recognition of colours etc etc is an assurance and achievement for parents. But have we ever thought of what can we learn from kids while we are basking the glory of achievements of our child.There is a lot to learn or I should say re learn qualities that we were born with and lost with time.As the Brahamkumaris right put it "Be like a child". So here is list of teachings that my Timmu has to offer: 1. Smile, Laugh, Shout , Cry.. don't hold emotions 2. Always keep your self busy 3. Take power naps and refresh when not doing anything. 4. Always be ready to experiment with new things.Learn! Learn! L...

Today there was a competition to send  entries for "Share your sucess story" for women's week being celebrated in office.Since I had some spare time so sent below few words.... I always felt it’s unfair to men when women get this special treatment and all the admiration for being able to manage work and family until I became a mother or to be more specific a "working mom" myself. That’s when I realized that all challenges till now were nothing like this responsibility to nurture a new life and be committed to your job responsibilities at same time. I don't think drivers to perform best at work for women are any different than that for men, so at work what drives me to give my best are my goals in life and the satisfaction and sense of achievement that comes with a job well done. Yes you do need support of people and for me it’s my family who have been there to support me and share my responsibilities, my colleagues who showed trust in my work a...

We love weekends..we love time off from work and we all love breaks.. But today I found out best way to take a break and make most out of it.. This Tue I realised I am working too hard and getting too stressed, work is becoming an obsession and to outdo others at job a craze..so by wed morning I was already planning and afternoon sent out mail to my PM that I am on leave tomorrow.. Here I put few simple rules to make most out of a day off .. Rule No 1:Don't Plan- Take day off out of no where..don't plan too much as unexpected breaks are most treasured. So wed evening I made up my mind..Morning get a relaxing facial and some grooming along with mom..so called up and fixed an appointment..after that trip to Ambience Mall..I can schedule trips to that place until I cover all brand stores at least once...so here comes Rule No 2: Plan Day Well - Now once you have decided on your day off then don't let it go unplanned..else at end of day you will get into even mor...

Shifting from Bangalore to Delhi has been my consistent desire from time I shifted my base out for work.Although the freedom and success I got after moving away from home has laid the foundation of my life but Bangalore, London or Italy no place has been close to my heart as Delhi is..as they say Dilwaalo ki Dilli..so when R got an offer in Gurgaon and my company also gave me a transfer ..my joy knew no bounds...I couldn't have asked for more...So here we come here after tiring days of packing and shifting..but joy was short lived as getting adjusted to new city, people and so much household and office work with a small kid took its toll..and with R not quite happy usually used to put me off...but as they say nothing lasts for long and here we started with what I always missed...being close to my people. So here we had 2 wonderful days enjoying WC matches and bonding with my closest pal DB.Life is very different now from being chilled out and care free girls to being mom of baby ...

It’s been a long since I blogged last time..well they said right, being a mother is no joke and I can't believe that it’s been almost 4 months I have spent with you my timmu.There have been so many firsts till now..ur first smile..ur first flight, train ride, first visit to maa vaishnvo devi ..the list is endless and there are many more to come...and today it was first time we tried giving u something other than mom's milk..u had ur Nan1 in bottle today :) and mumma was so worried and feeling guilty. Your Naani says I am over reacting. Probably she talks from experience and I worry because of my inexperience. Timmu I must say that you have really made me realize that I can enjoy being a mom..being with you..playing with you and your smiles have been rewarding. Thanks for coming :)

21st June 2009   - Well this is the day of my life when I found out that my pregnancy test is positive.I mean this was quite a shocking moment for me, well not because it was an unexpected shock...But all the emotions I went through this single day were too new and too many too handle for me.....here is how my day went... I was supposed to travel next weekend to Netherlands for work..also was planning a short visit to Delhi for meeting the girl my brother had liked for marriage..so was all excited about these things.Went to parlour and got a new hair cut and a pampering facial.It was some special facial and while doing that my beautician just mentioned that they don't do it for pregnant ladies..how can I be pregnant..I mean we know we are ok to have a baby…. but somehow we thought it will go a little slow and will take some time, after all its not been even 2 months when we kind of thought that we can welcome a new member ( although you never ever get ready for this)…I j...
