My Birthday wish.


How I wish I was a child again just for a day. No fret, no worries. Being innocent and not knowing you are, is quite something. And it can be felt only by being a child.

Both my daughters are super excited to celebrate my birthday today. (They are much interested in the cake though). They have made it very clear as to which cake is to be ordered, which restaurant will be good for dinner, which dress they are planning to wear. Missy 8 has even alluded to what I should select to wear .

When I was little I was too shy. So I would like to tweak that side of mine a bit. I always was happy in all the small things, and I have maintained that side of mine.

I love gifts. What's not to like about gifts. I like gifting people and receiving back gifts too. I never used to pay much attention to what's inside the gift wrap. For me, since I was a child, I used to be fascinated by the sheer art of gift wrapping. All those pretty bows and all that glittery packing. Also the idea of me receiving a gift was so heartening that I never used to pay heed to what actually was inside. But all that was when I was a child. Now it's not so. I am excited and like what's inside equally. So it better be good😂.

I was very impatient and sometimes rude to people who used to irritate me. I think I should get that back as a grown up. It's because most of the people I meet are irritating. And how I wish I can give them a high five..on their face....with a chair. But being a grown up, I have to digest that and sometimes suffer fools too.

Back in those days, when I was in school, I used to be in my own world. And that quality of mine is still intact. I have my own to do lists in my mind. And people close to me know that when I am bored( even in between a conversation), I take a flight in my own world. And like a grownup, go through my to do lists.

The best way to be a kid again is through your kids. I am living my life all over again through my kids. And I have no qualms about that whatsoever. My mantra - Live, Love , Laugh - NOW !

Dad flying to London, made history!

My dad is aviophobic and so when he reached London, I heaved a sigh of relief. My parents were visiting my kid brother who is put up in London since last four years. He had been asking them to visit him since he shifted there. However it always felt on dads deaf ears. My dad has become a little bit socially awkward since past couple of years. He wasn't always like that though. I mean yes, he never liked to travel a lot. His definition of travel meant a twenty minutes ride to my place to meet his granddaughters. Apart from these visits he makes a couple of rounds to the doctors office and once in a blue moon visits his relatives and friends after a lot of pestering from mum. My mum likes to travel a lot. She is ever so excited about exploring new places. So this time around too dad had made it very clear that as he is scared of flying he wont join mum on her visit to London. My mother had to remind him that British Airways will be taking care of the flying part and all he h...

If you would like to be generous please go full throttle.

My dad has always taught me to be generous without hesitation. When I was younger, I never understood what he meant by that. All I saw was my mum and dad working hard to make a good life and helping people in need without thinking twice and without any hesitation. All the relatives and friends never used to think twice when they were in trouble as they knew all they had to do was - ask, and my parents would be there for them, sometimes giving a cash favour and on more occasions being there in person and giving their time and energy to help and just be there in other peoples moment of difficulty. The enthusiasm which they had was unmatched. He always told me that you never give away things which you no longer need. That's not the way to give. That is not being generous. It's just discarding all those things you no longer need. He then used to encourage me to give things which I was still using and were good to give. The things which are not good to be used by you are n...

Now I know why my parents never attended my PTMs

People who have kids will agree with me when I say they are the only ones who can put you in your place without offending you. I have two such brats in my house whose only joy comes from making me eat my words. My elder one is like my dad, always on time and punctual. She likes to be well in time. Which isnt a bad thing. Except on weekends. I feel Saturday and Sundays are sacred and should be reserved for relaxing and enjoying as everyone have had a hectic week and will most likely be having another after these two most sought after days. I personally like to sleep a wee bit more on weekends. Why would the schools deliberately spoil that joy for us by scheduling such early parent-teacher meetings(PTM) on Saturdays. My daughters slot for the meeting is around 8 am. The school is around 4km from our house. So you calculate how early that is for a sleep deprived mother of two kids. Till last week the school had arranged all the big days in a queue. The kids Annual Day, the sports...
