Before my son was born, I heard various tips and stories about many things related to kids. One main topic was food. Some of my Indian friends and cousins who had kids here told me that once the kids start going to school or daycare, they just don’t eat our Indian food anymore. I so…
How weather affects our lives..
I have been checking the weather regularly for the last four days. It said it is going to be sunny and 390 today. I was so happy that finally the temperatures are warming up. Every year the lake Mendota and Lake Monona freeze in winter and we always go and walk on the lake. So,…

Time Flies….
I was listening to my 19 month old talking and was surprised. When he started talking at around 9 months, I had written in his journal every month what words he could say or was starting to say. Now, I cannot count the number of words he can say. He repeats everything that we talk….

Sarath had just finished his breakfast and I gave him water in a spill proof cup with a straw. I was sending out some important emails. Five minutes later, when I look at him, he managed to pour some water from the spill proof cup on to the chair cushion. His shorts all wet and…
