Shori Shori

Sigh! When I just think about the fact that I am raising 2 kids, I just freeze. I am scared, nervous and am questioning myself every time I give my son a timeout. Maybe I just think too much and keep feeling anxious about how I will affect my son. Believe me, I am an expert parent in theory. I have read the best articles and the best books on parenting. I even admit I am harsh on my son sometimes and it hurts me to yell at him but I just have to do it somedays when he doesn't listen

Shaurya, if you ever read this post, always remember that I loved you dearly and hugged you, kissed you every 5 minutes. I just didn't have enough time to play with you - it was always time boxed

I hope I can be everything you want me to Shaurya. I am here for you - today and always and pray that you will always be blessed with a wonderful life.

Its that time of the year!

Yes, its that time of the year when everyone is happy. There are potlucks at work and chocolates in every neighborhood. Somehow in midst of all the stress with 2 kids, work and home duties I feel happy. Again, I have a lot to be thankful for - 2 kids and an awesome husband and a job at this difficult time are a few for starters.

With the new year soon approaching I am already making a list of all the things I need to change in my life so stay tuned :)

Happy Holidays!

Ganpati Bappa Moriya!

Ek Don Teen Char
Ganpati ki jai jai kar

Always believed that Lord Ganesha will make all my sorrows go away. Sometimes its funny how I think of him as a friend whom I can talk to and who will make ALL things right...there is no wrong if you are with HIM. First of all, I would like to get down on my knees and beg you for my Aunty's life. She is going through a very very tough time right now. Please make things right...you are known for that. Is it your test or punishment I don't know...I just want you to make things right and I say this like I have a right over you ..not sure if thats a good thing or no. I love you a lot GOD and I have been strayed from my path but I am back - now with you forever. I am begging you for my aunt's life...its time for another miracle ...

Second of all, my love, gratitude for you has been invisible and I have realized every time this happens...I go through the worst periods of my life. I am back now holding on to my faith as tight as I can and the belief that you can make everything right. If somebody asked me why I was happy I would shamefully admit that I have been away too long and am back now with nothing different from last time :)...faith, love and hope.

I love you God! Please never leave us.

I am getting old

Well, I told you I was lazy and I wouldn't write for a long long time. Well, I am back now and really want to de-clutter my brain which has zillion thoughts going on at one time. I was in a daily meeting this morning and I see the intern sitting right across me furiously texting away on his phone. Man, how do these kids do it (did I say kids..sigh!!). His phone has the smallest keys and he types away with ease. It amazes me how the culture has changed from phone conversations to text messages. Everything is a text message - I mean everything! The notions is that text messages are impersonal and quick - well, they surely are but I cannot get myself to text somebody..it takes me ages to type!! Maybe I am just getting old and do not want to adapt to the new direction technology is moved toward or maybe I just don't want my manicure to get messed out (j/k). No matter what it is , I know that I still like to pick up the phone and talk to near and dear ones..its just different

Its time to write!

I have been thinking of blogging since a very very long time. My problem is I get too lazy to pen down my thoughts. After considerable nagging from my husband (Abhi) and friends, I thought - 'okay-just get down to it!'. Looks like all the bollywood actors are taking up blogging and whats more inspirational than that ( serious sarcasm intended).

I am going to keep it short and sweet so read on and feel free to leave your comments.
