Everyday I get blogging prompts in my email. A couple of days ago, the prompt was “What’s the most important lesson you learned in 2015”? When I saw this prompt, my immediate reaction was that “did I really learn something?” I thought hard and yes, I did learn a few things. I learned to plan…

Family Time
Holidays here are usually time for family re-unions. People here meet for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Somehow in the past 4 – 5 years, that has become the tradition for us as well. After we got married, we never traveled to India during Christmas. I don’t know why. We always travel to India in Summer cursing…
Concerned brother
Yesterday Sarath was sick and he had to stay home from school. Poor kid was throwing up all night and woke up with a mild fever. He was in a bad state. So, he was resting on the sofa in the morning while I was trying to get Sanjay ready for school. As soon as…
Out of Hibernation
I feel like I can breathe again. It has been hectic since January. Even though I was happy that work was keeping me busy, it also hit me hard that working as a freelancer is no piece of cake. All the stress of work and home are finally getting to me and I feel more…
The grey sky
Here are some pictures that show the Seattle weather in winter. The grey sky is finally getting to me and I cannot wait to see more sun 🙁 Especially today, it has been raining non stop and the gloominess is just unbearable.
Birthday Celebrations

New Year Resolutions

Simple Pleasures in Life
– The way Sarath’s face lights up when he see’s me at the bus stop in the evening. Makes me melt thinking that some one is just so happy to see me 🙂 – Cuddling with the kids in the morning and whispering silly words and playing silly games. – Receiving a bouquet of roses…
New Year and Anniversary
We welcomed the New Year at my brother-in-law’s house. They had a baby boy recently. My sister-in-law and her kids had come too. It was a fun week of cousins playing and fighting together. We had so much fun with the little one. He is a sweet baby. The four big kids shouted so much…
Parenting lessons I learn’t in the past 7 years
Sarath turned 7 a couple of months ago and I keep thinking about how fast the time flies by and also keep reflecting on myself as a parent. As parents, we always make mistakes and are learning along the way. But, today I thought I will write about the few things that I learn’t in the…
