For those of you who hopped on my blog again and again to check for any updates ...
For those of you who thought I was becoming too lazy to update my blog ...
For those of you who mailed me about my whereabouts ...
For those of you who thought I must have fallen on the other side of the world...

this is to let u all know that we have vacated our house in Singapore.

Now for time being we are in India…..Balelakka Balelakka Back to India …Sing it in the tune of Shivaji – the boss song.

My gals are having a fabulous time her in India. After being in a Foreign soil for 4 full years, I could feel them enjoying in their homeland…..

My kids love India because .........

Their grand parents are here.

They love watching cows, goats, hens strolling leisurely in our streets.

They go on never-ending bike rounds with all uncles.

They bang bells in all street side temples.

They ride small rental bicycles and come back running with knee full of bloody wounds.

Summer Exhibition Crowd kindles their excitement.

Rickshaw and Auto rides are possible only in India for them.

Drinking fresh tender coconut from street shops on a hot sunny day.

Local delights like theen mittaai(honey candy), chow mittaai(sticky candy), panju mittaai(cotton candy) have heavenly tastes.

Big White Jasmine Flowers are heart stealers.

Pampering of all relatives.

They watched circus show from the wooden plank gallery.

Kiddy play with innocent local children.

Kids are having endless hours of fun. Its really nice to see their happiness brimmed faces.

A Simple Evaluation

You can just get to know that your way of parenting is working out well and you are making a difference in your kids’ life ….

When:

Your kids run to give you a hug after being gone for long hours.

When:

Her Teacher tells you that she is much focused.

When:

Your kid asks why one shouldn’t waste food and always thank God for the food we eat – and then she starts praying herself few days later.

When:

She says, “Mom, it’s OK” over your petty mistakes.

When:

She brings some small roadside flowers for you back from playground.

When:

She tells a friend not to lie by saying, “God will punish you, like you may be running and you might trip and hurt yourself really bad. That would be God teaching you a lesson.”

When:

After taking out one of the kids for a fun-filled day, she wishes buying gifts for the other sibling back home.

When:

She places a small bit of cookies for the ants and birds that come to the house balcony.

When:

She could feel the pain in her friend’s broken arm and empathizes.

When:

She waters any wilting plant.

When:

She asks how we call a Zebra crossing, if it is painted in Yellow & Black color instead. Later she winks and answers “A Tiger Crossing”.

When:

Asked to say her 3 wishes…She replies with at least 1 wish for the well being of whole humanity and not just as “I want this”,”I want that”,”I want…”.

Now pat your back or give yourself a huge applause. You could even do a Dora dance with your kid. Dora has become every l'il gal's sweet heart. Sing "We did it","We did it" as in her popular TV show. Twist your waist and move your arms to dance just as Dora and cheer up....Just go on, no more guilty feelings.

Yippee its Our Day !

Wishing a Haaapppyyy Mothers Day to all moms out there .... Lets enjoy each and every moment of our Mothering Life. Relish and Celebrate Motherhood !
