Stuck midways

The dilemma. An eternal conflict.

These days I seem to be ridden by them. To move or not to move. To shout or not to shout.

To crib or not to crib.

It is easy to say that it is out choice, but which way to move?

Am at a crossroad once again. And the choice will have to make itself up.

Only time will tell. :(

Homecoming or coming home

This was a long pending post which did not get posted

All excited to be going to India. Will get to see, play with rudru. Gonna be fun!
Have been reading excessively on children and their psychology. Remains to be seen how much of it is hogwash. ;)

The week that Flew... And Crashed

It was an awesome week.. The Last one :)

Watching the Junior's antics, Then departing for my SP, which then kinda crashed... It has been a rollercoasting experience.

I regret nothing though...

Every thing happens for a Reason.. I will believe my calling is elsewhere, if this were to not happen.

Just got this Post from Vas.. Reposting :)

"My promise to my children - as long as I live - I am your parent first, your friend second.

I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare and hunt you down like a bloodhound when needed because I LOVE YOU!

When you understand that, I will know that you are a responsible adult.

You will NEVER find someone who loves, prays, cares and worries about you more than I do!

If you don't hate me once in your life - I am not doing my job properly. "

The lessons of parenting

Parenthood Lesson 1 : the child is always the king. You may plan, forecast, prepare but things happen only when the child deems it appropriate. Or if he is bored. Or irritated. :)

More lessons soon....

Welcome to the World!

Finally, 3 weeks early, has arrived the Junior.

A Proud feeling.. A Lot of nervousness, even more happiness, Extreme Impatience.. Thats How I feel!

Impatient to be in India and hold that bundle who will one day rock the World :)
