My son crossed a certain age and weight and started sitting in his front facing carseat. All 3 of us are very happy because of it. He loves seeing outside and pointing at the cranes, buses and his other favorite vehicles. What he does after seeing them - made me realize something. After admiring the bus or the bridge, he always asks for "More?" I wish I had it in my control to show and give him whatever he likes but sadly and obviously I don't... but this question has made me

Before marriage, I didn't do any housework but concentrated on growing my graphology skills and clients. After marriage, I took a break and wanted to experience what it meant to be a housewife. Amongst other things, this also meant that I made dahi(yogurt) and ghee at home. When we were to move to USA, My mausi told me said, "I have experimented with everything. You can't make dahi or ghee in USA. Something is wrong with the milk." I took it on blind faith and didn't question

Mother's day is come and gone and I am glad the hoopla slowed down. I feel now is the right time to share this. There cannot be a world without mothers. Please respect them. I believe the soul chooses its parents so that we get the environment that can help us grow. If you feel that your mom isn't ... upto your standards - forgive her for not being the way YOU want her to be. No matter what happens she is the one who gave you life. There is nothing you can do to offset this.

I was wondering how or why would Universe perform a miracle if everything is carefully planned and organized and there is not supposed to be any chaos, then why would there be a miracle? I might have an answer too. Miracle could be when the universe goof’s up or there is an intern on the job. Maybe, something is supposed to happen, but due to a goof up, it doesn’t happen and human sees it before the universe has time to do something about it but it has to change…hence a mirac

A drop of water can be educational. I am sure that you must have seen a drop of water trickle down. There are some who go straight down and then there are some that go zigzag. Sometimes they stop and sometimes they get help from a drop from above. As far as I can understand, both have the same gravitational pull. What could be the reason for this variation? Why does one go directly down while the other one wanders here and there. Isn’t there something to learn from this? Ther

Life and family keeps one busy and it takes a cut in the finger to make one sit, breathe and write. So there I was, on early Tuesday morning, making parathas, and the ghee (that I got from India and kept in the refrigerator) was a little difficult to remove. So, using all my strength - I pulled the spoon and got a cut. It hurt a little but I didn't realize that it bled and thankfully it didn't touch the food but this is how it started - My index finger which is also my son's

With His grace, We have a sunday-meditation group, 5 mins walking from our house. It has made our life so very simple. What is like a cherry on the top is that most of the people there, join us for breakfast in our house. Hence, I am learning so many lovely things about cooking because of this. Recently I learned that breaking curry leaves helps enhance the aroma. Try it if you don't do it already. I never broke the leaves as my mom never broke it. I would wash it and simply

My husband is the smartest man I know personally. Einstein may be smarter than my hubby but I never met Mr. E. Sometimes Mr. P's lack of understanding of things makes me ... little bit angry. Like the other day, he took our son out to the pool while I rested indoors. After coming back - he complained of all the naughty things that Satu had done along the way. I didn't say anything and served dinner. After a few days, he took him to the pool alone while I did house chores that

I had recently uploaded a picture of my son with fawns. One of my friends' asked me - how is it that I am still fascinated with these deers. It has been 6 months and more or less - I see them everyday. My honest reply was that I know I will move out of this house in few years. Maybe not soon but I know we will move. So, I know I might not get to see these peace loving gentle creatures ever again. How can I not get fascinated with them? This answer also made me think - how lon
