With a baby, I’m re-discovering what I thought I was done with after the marriage – how difficult it is to come to a meeting of ways with people with different belief and value systems.

For those who know, the get together we had planned for introducing Nisargak to friends and family has been cancelled due to “unavoidable reasons” <— read womanly business. Since the venue was a temple, that’s a no-go. This really is a blow, since we were all looking forward to this function. This officially marks the… Read More »

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… Read More »
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… Read More »
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”.
