Picture day

June 21, There is nothing important  about this day. I am sure, I ll forget this date in some days, but the memories will last longer. Anything that comes first are always special and memorable. The speciality of this day falls under that category. My son's school, notified us that June 21 is going to be their picture day of the year 2017. Individual pictures of each student and group photo of each class was taken. My son's first picture day in school. My son was in montessori and no uniforms. So, I'm confused whether to choose some grand dress or casual or anything formal dress to wear. Finally my husband chose a Jean pant and a half sleeve to shirt. That is fine, school group pic should get back his school memories, so his casual wear is fine. Anything, other than his casual wear will turn to be a fancy dress. So, I too agreed with his choice of outfit. When we went back to pick him up from school on that day, they were not done with the photo session.

Home remedy for cold and cough

It is very common to get cold. Sometimes the reason for cold will not just be the cold climate but body heat and dust too. I always opt for home remedies, when we suffer from cold. Even for kids, home remedy does the best. When I see my kids suffer with no sleep and continuous cough, I go for medicines that I brought from India. Bronklin for cough, should be given only 8 hrs once for 3 days. 2.5 ml for 10 kg kid. Paracetamol for fever Tancet for cold - should be given only at night. These medicines are not to be taken without Doctor prescription. I wrote an article on home remedy for cold, in which I also provided some of the causes and prevention to cold and cough, especially for kids. Home remedy/granny therapy for cold and cough

Mom behind flying far

When there are people looking only for abroad grooms, there are still people who wants their children to get married to their arm's reach. Even my mom was suggested not to agree for abroad proposal for me, but my mom agreed. I never seen her offending or defending anyone while speaking and while giving their suggestions. she won’t even take up any argument,  I doubt whether she has mood swings at anytime in her life, all she do is to stay calm and her action speaks of her thoughts.  My mom always believe, there are good people all around the world and her prayers and my(late) dad will always keep us safe.  More over, she believes in her brought up that her children could survive strong irrespective of place and situation. She cultivated the same positivism in us. Share you comments on how your mom encouraged your life? let the positivism get spread.

Mother - the influence of our life. Most of the cases, our character and attitude are defined by our mom. Because we grow seeing her.  When there are times, we stuck up at what to do next, we obviously think in the shoes of our mom.  There was an incident when my mom was supposed to catch up a night train after returning from office, but received a death news of our migrated neighbor, however, I told her to ignore the news for then and to get ready for travel, she said,  "few things should never be ignored, situations cannot be same after a while, and above all  understanding others is more important than expecting others to understand our situation".  She joined the funerary ceremony, and then made her travel at eleventh hour. Even at the nick of time, I did not see that hurry in her face. Cool woman ever.    Yes, she could have made her travel without hurry and could have shared her condolences to their family after returning back. But #Priority . Few things can nev

Home Schooling to my son

Image
Learning starts from womb and Mother is the first teacher to all of us. I wanted my son too to learn many things from me before he started going school. It is believed that the future intelligence of any kid is determined by their learning in their first 5 years.  Kids as well are curious to learn new things at this age and so this is best time to teach basics.  Language is basic to communication and any learning. So, to begin with, I introduced English and Tamil (our mother tongue)alphabets and small words to him. I used few tools to make his learning fun and colorful.  Click here  to know How I introduced alphabets to my son.
