One of my favourite documentaries on NGC is Great Migrations. Besides being one of the NGC’s best documentaries ever giving a unique dimension to the world of animals, I like the series because of one part in particular.
The Importance Of Routines
When I was pregnant with La Niña, I had read somewhere that children need the comfort of routines in their lives. A routine offers children and even babies a sense of security, a sense of all-is-right-with-the-world feeling.
Toddler Tantrums
Testing Patience
I have never had patience. I have always wanted things when I wanted them. I would be an irritable, grumpy girl if things didn’t happen my way. Being highly pampered and from a nuclear family setup, my family never really stretched my patience levels. In other not so polite words, I was a spoiled rotten.
Tribute To Mom
Remember those touching lines from the Song -
“… Dharti pe roop ma-baap ka us vidhata ki pehchaan hai”?

Vacations & The Story Of A Laptop
It’s that time of the year that I have kind of started dreading – well, please understand that I do love it too, but then again, this is the time that lands my routine into absolute and crazy disarray – its vacations!
Spare The Rod, Spoil The Child

But is it mandatory to equalise discipline with physical punishment to make it more effective? I would like to disagree here.
Fight – Part 1
We fight a lot, at times almost like enemies, but mostly like friends. Sometimes she can be very irritating making me forget the rules of a fair fight. There are days when we will wow not to talk to each other for eternity, daring each other to see who speaks first.
