Urvi's Scribbling

This is a post on how something that interested me so much got passed down to my son naturally. Nature always interested me although staying in Bangalore for a couple of years made it evoke.  I started noticing various fruit trees in my locality like coconut, papaya, jackfruit, pomegranate, fig and banana. It was surprising to me how food was grown in some households. The beauty of various seasons was much prominent in HSR Layout, making me exploring more about other trees and searching them on google. Few months ago I was much frustrated by my son's rag picking all day. He would stop at various intervals on our way to pick up things like tobacco wrappers or used plastic bottles from the roadside. While in the park he would keep searching for chips packets or used lollipop sticks. I was worried about his health and overall his habit. I would explain him with logic and multiple repetition, yet no gain. I myself was frustrated with so many NOs to him. I thought there need to ...

I was at the club where my son goes to learn skating. Lady: Hows his homeschooling going on? Me: Great Lady: So what do you teach him? Me: Depends on the concept we pick Lady: He must be knowing the names of the states in India Me: (In a surprise, for her being so direct) ahh.. No Lady: hmm After some silence she shouts at her child who is skating along Lady: Watch out. (With an impulse, she addresses me about her kid) She never focuses on herself. All the time she wants to see what others are doing Me: (Laughing in my mind) I had gone to meet a few girl friends at the park with our respective kids When I was interacting with the kids I overhear a conversation GF1: Have you seen her how she talks to her son GF2: Ya she is so calm GF1: You see that's why her son is like this. He won't be strong enough for the real world. After a while GF2: Urvi, you should stay with these kids for a few days... so they will learn to behave I was a bit confused as I didn...

I am a mom of a 4 year old(almost) and he is showing his rebellious side now and then. I can see a disgust and hate all over his facial expression when I try to confront. It really hurts to see him fall when he can't see the danger at the other side of the tunnel. You want to help him, not like a spoon feed but more like evolve through the situation. It aches to see him do things that isn't accepted by the society on the basis of ethics or norms. You want to guide him and hope he excel but he just doesn't listen. Katti I was something like this in my teens but he is such a strong character at this tiny age, I can sense it. I pondered on a win win situation for this crises of mine. I want him to listen to my advice and also let him take his own decisions. His own decision, not that he is capable, but more like a practice of self worth. General Approach 1: Punish them Kids are so common to get grounded or refrained from their favorite activity. They are made to s...

For the love and excitement of having the first baby every mother tries making something memorable.. I am sharing mine. ART 1: Tried my hands on the "transfer a picture on wood" DIY. Took a print through an inkjet printer and glued it upside down with modpodge. after an hour used a wet towel to remove the paper carefully. ART 2: I took some 100 nails and placed them on the initial I drew. After nailing them, took a golden string and tried covering the letter, leaving just some space of the heart i created at the bottom.  I am very satisfied of the outcome. Hoping to create more art with him soon.

It started from 6:30-7 in the evening on 15th July. I experienced typical pain for every minute in an interval of hour. I thought it might be some other pain as my EDD was on 22nd. The pain grew n I had to call hubby home but he came on his regular time. I requested him to stay beside me so that I feel secure, which he did. I tried sleeping but then started to get cramps in my lower body. I also did vomiting n went to washroom for more than 8 times. That day was chaturdashi so I ate before sunset. I had taken Anemia of caster oil in the morning under the guidance of an Ayurvedic Doc which made the labour active. I got admitted by 2:15. Till morning the doctor kept inspecting and gave me pain injections because he felt the pain was less. My MIL slept in the same room and made me more uncomfortable with her regular remarks that still I am not having that kind of pain that can deliver a baby. I was hoping to pass the night as soon as possible so that my hubby could come back and I have ...
