Living a healthy life is not so easy. There are a lot of things to take care of and these habits need to stay with us for life. That is very very difficult. I have been trying to make healthy habits but, they do not stick with me. I just do not have the will…
Change is the law of life :)
I read this somewhere and have been thinking about it all last week. Last Saturday was the last working day for my dad. He is now a retired man! It kind of feels weird to think that he is not going to work anymore! It is a big change! I mean as long as I…
My Mother’s Sari by Sandhya Rao
I came to know about this book from another blog. I am so glad I found this book in our local library. It is a very nice book about all the different things kids like to do with their mothers saree. Using it as a hammock to sleep, as a rope to climb or to…
Potty Training
This is the hot topic in our house now. Sarath is going to be 3 pretty soon and we are only half way through potty training. If we were living in India, he would be 100% potty trained by now. He was doing very well before we went to India. After that trip, now he…
A Weekend without my laptop
Weekends are supposed to be relaxing. S doesn’t have to go to work and we kind of have a slow day. Since, I work from home, I always seize the opportunity to work on the weekend. But, at the same time, I have a million other things I need to get done on my laptop…

Rock-a-Bye Baby…
Rocking a baby to sleep feels so good. I used to rock Sarath all the time when he was a baby. I loved it as much as he did. Watching him fall asleep in my arms felt so good. I don’t remember when we stopped rocking him at bed time. We slowly shifted him from…
No More Crying!
