I can't believe this tiny butterfly that flitted about all the time, SO out of anybody's reach, is now a Big Girl. Almost as tall as I am, Medha looks, talks and thinks much older than her actual age of 11. I sometimes forget that she's still a kid and share some of my ideas … Continue reading A Young lady or a Big girl- Medha turns 11.

Rubick’s Cube to Rummy – Turning 8 in COVID times
"Should we learn Blackjack or Poker now?", Madhav, my younger one, asks me. We learnt card games like Donkey, spoon, Rummy and Go Fish watching YouTube videos and now we play them in rotation. Madhav taught himself a few card tricks and now he offers free sessions as gifts on our birthdays. He resorts to … Continue reading Rubick’s Cube to Rummy – Turning 8 in COVID times
Welcoming Nyra into our family!

"I finally reached a 2-digit age!!!" was Medha's delight and relief at turning 10! This girl can't wait to grow up! She's counting the years before she becomes a teenager! God save us when she does! Medha loves to dress up: She tries on different clothes, sometimes even mine, picks accessories carefully to go with … Continue reading Medha @ 10

Madhav just turned 7! He has grown taller yet not an inch wider! He is smarter, naughtier, yet he remains the apple of everyone’s eye, including his sister’s, though she will fiercely deny this! Ha! Sibling rivalry! Not a day goes by without the 2 squabbling and skirmishing, pinching and pulling one another’s hair, complaining … Continue reading Madhav @7

She's so unlike me, that I find it hard to believe she came from me! Medha is a riddle I'm trying to … Continue reading Medha @ 8
Madhav @ 5
My littlest isn't too little anymore! He turned 5 a few days ago and tells me 5 years has been fun so far! He is tall; he's skinny; he has the biggest, most teeth- and gum-baring smile of all. But don't be fooled by his stick-like appearance! Thanks to the taekwondo lessons he's been going … Continue reading Madhav @ 5

Letter to Medha
Dear Medha, I'm sorry I haven't been able to write much to you. Not because there isn't much going on with you, but BECAUSE there is!
