Meet the Mom (*talking to the boys)
Aap Mumma ki kya ho ...? JAAN 💖
I have said this to both of you pretty much everyday of my adult life.. its strange and funny how we literally grew up together - you were so in a rush to be with me I guess 😊
And I wont be exaggerating if I said you both are seriously the smartest, kindest, coolest kids I know (Oh! I again started about you) .. SO, justifying the title- lets meet your mom.. formally !
A little girl with big dreams, so much to do.. so much to conquer but before I knew it- before I even gave my first vote- I was a mom !
So, I cant blame myself if being a mom has changed me (for the better) . And it has become the very essence of how my brain functions.
K arrived when I was 23 and R came along when I was 27.. so, yeah .. I will give you a minute to close your dropped jaw right here :)
I would be lying if I said it was such a bed of roses- you bet it was! I had my fears, my frustrations, my joys , my madness, my attempt at being your teacher/ cook/ cleaner/ maid/ Doctor /guide / playmate (just basically being an Indian mom) had my share of learning curve but I cherished every minute of it (OK, sometimes maybe a little later than THAT EXACT MINUTE..) I definitely had my learning curve and I have come a long way.
I always had so much to tell you, wanted so many things to just get uploaded in your system, but you needed to be old enough and wise enough to understand things the way they are intended to be taken.
This blog will have all my unsaid words- which one day, you will read and understand me better or maybe just... I don't know!
Welcome to my world - unfiltered . I am sorry (in advance) if you do not like what you read, but then it is what it is supposed to be...unfiltered !
I will try and write as much as I can about our days/ events/ occasions or simply about you and me
My Scientist "K"
Meet my 11-year old- space fanatic, obedient son, loving brother, someone you can't beat if you fail at logic (God! you have no idea how challenging he makes this entire motherhood-journey for me!!)
He is probably the reason I run out of baking soda in my house ! thanks to him ever-experimenting habit. Or also the numerous explosions my poor freezer has experienced.
He loves to read - so much so that he will pick an already finished book if you don't buy him a new one 😊
He has a very soft heart and is so honest that sometimes I wonder if this trait will help or bother him in the long run- given the way our society is shaping up. But then, he is also what makes me hopeful that future generation might just completely take us by surprise and fair quiet well for themselves and their peers.
For his early years- like primary days- I remember him being such an all rounder, that other mums would be envious of my little bundle of joy- well, cant blame them ! But as my little man is getting few mustache- so is he getting there in asking for reason to everything you ask him to do- even cleaning up his mess !
Nevertheless- he is sure a hands on when it comes to parenting and I love every bit of it .
My Rockstar "R"
"Mam- your son will become a Prime Minister" - this is what his grade 1 teacher told me 😊
Meet my full-of-life, total dhamaka, entertainer, and a complete package Rockstar. I gave him this nickname from the movie by the same name- which stars his favorite male lead (at least at that time he was- Ranbir Kapoor) and just the twinkle in his eyes every-time he saw Ranbir on screen.
Like his elder brother- he has a very kind and loving heart but he is more of a coconut- hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. He is street-smart and knows what he wants- something that I just love about him. The way he draws makes me wonder how different children can see things then us adults- his drawings are a way of going into his world. A world full of imagination, one where horses fly, Pokémon rules the world, and trees are multicolored- there are just no boundaries 😊!
He takes time to make friends but once he does- he is 1 hell of a friend ! He cherishes his friends, the one he truly loves.
Try and mess with his loved ones (esp. his Bhai), and you'll repent why you started in the first place - now that's my boy 😎
