Its 3 o’clock and the school bell’s loud ring is followed by the giggles and laughs of little children running through the corridors and down the steps despite the ‘No Running’ and ‘Walk Only’ signs displayed. Their heads bobbing, their hair flying, their faces shining bright with glee. Some run right into their mums’ arms… {Read More}
A morning walk with my son
I have injured my toe as you might have read in my previous post, and have completely refrained from jogging this whole week. My body clock however refuses to acknowledge my toe and still insists on waking me up by 5:45 every morning! So instead of forcing myself to go back to sleep, Tuesday morning… {Read More}
Love thy neighbours!
I don’t think I am a very strict parent since I give in quite easily to the charms and innocent smiles of my mischievous little boys. But when it comes to keeping my home neat and tidy I do like things being kept back in place after use. I feel like I am constantly tidying… {Read More}
Ocean Park
The first time I went to Ocean Park I must have been about 10 years old. I had visited HK as a tourist along with my mother and my sister. Though I have very faint memories about that trip, I do recollect my photograph being taken on an exceptionally windy day at The Summit (just… {Read More}
My summer holiday
Just before the start of any long holiday or a school-break, I often hear mums complaining about how they have a long holiday ahead and how difficult it would be to keep the kids busy and occupied. At the end of the holidays however when we are back to school it comes as no surprise to me… {Read More}
End of a school year…again?
This morning when I took my 4-year old to his pre-school I didn’t feel like leaving…so I sat there for some time watching him get engrossed with his surroundings, playing with his friends – the same children who were complete strangers to him six months ago. I can hear him share stories with them, showing off… {Read More}
What is this life…if full of care
As a new mother and also as one with a full-time job, I used to envy all those mums who I would see walking their kids to school or just walk back home….hand in hand….the child skipping along happily, maybe blabbering about everything except what happened in school. I would be passing by in my… {Read More}
It’s quiet, isn’t it?
20:30 hrs It’s that time of the evening when the day is coming to an end, when the house (that still looks like a mad house) is sounding eerily quiet and still. But today instead of tidying up the toys or hanging out the wet swimwear or finishing my ironing or making the chappatis (Indian bread), I am… {Read More}
Birthday parties
As I sit in the bus going for one more birthday party I can’t help thinking about my elder son’s first birthday bash that we organised in the Yacht Club, Mumbai. It was the single most important event to occupy my mind months before the actual party. How do we celebrate it– on a big… {Read More}
Playdates
I heard about this term for the very first time when my elder son was 3 years old. “Playdate?” I had asked this mum who was one of my first ‘mummy’ friends in HK, just to re-confirm that I had heard correctly. “Do you mean that we have to fix a time and a place… {Read More}
