I have been a mother to an angel of a daughter since the past 4 years…well almost, she turns four in the next two months!

It’s been a wonderful journey, and am looking forward to the years ahead as well. The best part is coming home to your kid to hug you tight which literally means ‘Mom, I missed you!’

It’s a learning experience every single day, the new stuff she learns in school, her voacabulary, breaking out into a sudden jig or her ways to talk, express and assure me at times when low thats shes right there for me, she potrays to be a big girl and responsible as well, which makes me wonder, ‘ Your only 4, Girl !’

Most of the times, being a mother also means testing your patience, and especially difficult for a person like me who lacks this virtue. A few months back I had started loosing my temper on my angel and at the spur of the moment I would yell at her or raise my hand not without a reason but for trifle matters which would make me angry, and later feel horribly guilty about it. A conversation with a friend made me realize the mistake I was doing. We are stressed with the situations that life brings to us on a daily basis, work, home, responsibilities, traffic snarls, end of the day reaching home to your demanding kids and home, all this tends to take a toll on our mental frame, but what about our little ones… whose world revolves around us, for the kid her parents are her universe and if we get angry at them or hit them, we also are teaching them to do the same thing with their friends and peers and shaping their personality in the wrong way. This thought really hit me and I try my level best to control myself and I did succeed a bit thou J Thank you my friend for showing me the right way !

Being a mother also makes you more responsible as an individual, before our babies arrive in this world, we are free birds, we can take off anytime for a movie, dinner, party or holidays without having to think twice, but being a mother you would think of the child and her schedule and the priorities suddenly change, the movie or dinner is no more important until the child has not slept or is settled, to make your plans for the day. Yeah most of the times the mother is famished earlier than the kid to make any more plans

Being responsible for your behavior and actions, every child watches their parents and are mirror images of their parents. The values, morals, habits we inculcate in our children (the earlier the better!!) will last them a lifetime and hopefully turn them into wonderful human beings, isn’t that each one of us as parents hope for?

Having babies is undoubtedly the best thing ever !! The most amazing and inexpressible feeling is the unspoken, unexpressed words that follow ……it’s Priceless !!

I have also accepted the fact I have grown not just in wisdom but in size as well

1. I m the only child of my parents and spoilt to the core, till date I just have to keep my finger on something and my parents and relatives spoil me rotten

2. I m a total water baby and love being in the water, I learnt swimming at the age of 2 and until I was in Mumbai / Pune I used to swim regularly, and that’s something I miss terribly in Delhi.

3. I love amusement parks

4. 11 months back I fulfilled one of my dreams of learning driving. I wonder why I didn’t learn it earlier, better late than never I guess ?

5. I really really wish I was a thinner !! Trying hard to achieve it but my taste buds generally give in to my will power…Urrrggghhh !!

6. I love my work, it’s a different high for me.

7. I m addicted to Facebook and think it’s an amazing place to connect to people.

8. I m a peoples person, love having friends / relatives / loved ones around me. I hate being alone !!!

9. I love throwing parties for friends to just unwind and chill and spend some time.

10. Off late I have started enjoying cooking and like to try out new recipes which I keep experimenting on and off, most of them are flops.. I admit.

11. Thanx to my parents who loved travelling I travelled a lot too and got addicted to the travel bug….

12. I am a bbbbbbiiigggggg Foodie…..

13. Sid n Me together love exploring new restaurants together and we even go to the extent of shuffling between restaurants for each course of the meal. Soups in one restaurant, snacks in the other, main course in the third and desert in the fourth…loads of fun.

14. With Sid I have discovered exploring while travelling. It’s a different high travelling with him.

15. Our Goa trip was the most memorable and romantic….something that I would cherish for many many years to come.

16. My college years in Pune were the best time of my life, the parties, the fun times, the afternoons spent at residency club……. unforgettable.

17. My first job at Pune which lasted for almost 4 years is someplace I will treasure for all my life, the work experience I got there was tremendous and the partylife we had were the best ever.

18. I m a massive party animal and can party for many nights together at a stretch. Pune has the best party scene and my teenage years were spent partying till the wee hours of the morning for years together.

19. I m a very happy go lucky person, like to give space and get my own.

20. I like to read……not novels but articles here and there all over the net and magazines…… I can read them like a bookworm and I like to learn from others experiences for the betterment of my life.

21. I like observing people, talking to them, like to know about their lives. I find it very enriching.

22. I always wanted to be a pilot… even managed to take my ground training but when it came to flying, I had to quit for certain reasons. My only regret in life.

23. I miss my dad terribly……..wish he was around!!

24. The best part, Sid identically resembles my dad…his ideologies, the way he talks, he thinks, even the walk…… it amazes me no end. Incidentally, they are both Taurians. I always wanted a Taurian husband thou, I think they make excellent life partners and fathers too.

25. I have always wanted to go to Orlando and Vegas….. maybe some day I will !!!
26. This list wouldn’t be complete without my one and only (till now) My sweetheart, my princess, our Angelic Daughter. Mothers love surely is unconditional…. leaves me speechless.
