I haven’t posted in a while, as I was busy with all kinds of stuff. Not easy being a mom-cum-businesswoman-cum-housewife-cum-webmaster. I’m not very good with prioritizing, and tend to forget about one thing when I become engrossed with another. Coming to the sharing in this post, it was my birthday. For Nisarga, it was his [...]
Signing wave at less than three months?
Okay, I think this guy is a budding signer. But then I think he’s awesome at everything, so…. I’d been showing him the sign for wave (among many other signs). Most of the time, he just stares blankly and there is no way to know if he even is getting anything out of it. Other [...]
Funny Little Baby
I was working at something on the computer, when Nisarga’s piercing wail scared me to bits. I jumped from my chair and rushed to him in record time. Imagine what this guy’s problem was? He had woken up quietly and was playing on his own, I guess. These days, he grabs the rods on the [...]
Evolving toys
I have joined a toy library for Nisarga. They have toys and books and stuff. Its started by a friend and I can get flashcards, and books, all kinds of toys and stuff for him, without investing in space in my home. Its quite great actually, and surprisingly affordable. She operates it only two days [...]
Ant problem and baby
Okay, I managed to solve this almost as soon as it happened at our place, but I think the solution will be of interest to many. I had just come home from the hospital, and was horrified to realize that the milk so nutrition filled for my baby attracted ants, and the infant always smelled [...]
Mother's love is extra blind
Okay, this is what happened. I was sitting at the computer, working on this site with Nisarga behind me fast asleep. I realized he was awake when I heard his usual shout “aaae”. I turned around and spoke with him, and he responded with a huge grin. I could literally see the bulb light in [...]

Sunshine after cloudy days
Today was a fabulous day for this mother and baby. Nisarga had been suffering from bouts of inconsolable crying for the last couple of days, which had made him pretty miserable. Would have been funny if it weren’t so heart breaking. He used to look really puzzled by his own crying…. Anyway, that is in [...]
The first week with your newborn
The first week passes in a daze of information overload and sleep deprivation. Everything is new, emotional….. Too much is happening. The body has gone through a tough time, a whole new person is attached to me like superglue for the foreseeable future, too many people coming over to meet, well meaning advice being shoved [...]
If you call me evil, I will believe you
This post explores my thoughts around our own unconscious processes and desires, and looks at their impact on children, who are literally absorbing everything we say as the whole truth. It is based on an earlier email to a group forum I no longer haunt, so some of it may seem a little “context specific”. [...]
