Mom Speak : Growing up with a toddler
If you want to know how much my life has changed after becoming a mother, go through my phone’s camera roll. You’ll find a seemingly endless stream of photos of my son, punctuated by those of that worrying deep cut on his forehead (he had banged his head on the edge of the table), red spots on his back (most likely mosquito bites), odd-coloured poo and most recently the shot of a tissue with blood soaked snot (he has the flu). These were taken for the purpose of Whatsapp diag
World Of Moms Feature: Here’s Why I Never Aspired to Become a Perfect Mother
Modern motherhood has become nothing less than an art form. A mother, ‘the perfect mother’ rather, is supposed to be a nutritionist, a chauffer, an artist, an organizer, a craftsperson and a chef, in addition to making sure that she sources everything organically, keeps her kids screen-free, is hands-on and has a personality of her own, as well. Quite a mouthful, don’t you think? Yet there seems to be intense pressure on us moms to be all of the above. We are constantly bomba
I Learnt My Best Lesson On Life From My Four-Year-Old
I was walking down the street with my four and half year old daughter skipping along beside me. We were walking home from school.

As we walked on, I decided to tell her about the advanced swimming lessons I had just started with. Though I had been swimming for years, I had n
World Of Moms Feature: 6 Completely Baseless Things About Emergency C-Sections That Many Indian Wom
Giving birth is one of the most transformative experiences that can happen to a woman. Your life as you knew it officially ends as soon as you are handed your baby. Though no one disputes this, many are quick to judge the manner in which your baby decides to come out of you. There are those who feel like there is only one way to get that baby out and that is by natural, unassisted birth and that having to undergo a caesarean section or a C-section as it is normally called, me
World Of Moms Feature : My Daughter isn’t as good as a son and I don’t want her to be
Most of us have seen that advertisement for a fairness cream (this is the point where I want to start raging about products like those, but I don’t want to digress) where a girl wants to become an air-hostess to become the ‘son’ her family never had. She slaps some lotion on, changes her skin colour and lands a job as an air hostess without doing anything but smile while getting interviewed.
((Side Note: What is this magical airline that hires people without asking them a si
World Of Moms Feature : 10 signs that prove you really enjoy being a Mother
Sometimes we get so caught up in the day-to-day work of motherhood, that it is hard to gauge whether you are actually enjoying what you do. The thing is that since being a mother is not technically a job, it is hard to actually quantify whether you like what you do or whether you are just going through the motions of parenthood.
So, here is something that I put together based on my experiences with my kids. Read the full article here
