This month's Artsy Crafty is "Paint your own Van Gogh". I was pretty excited to see this as my daughter had painted a few Van Gogh's when she was a 5 year old in her kindergarten.This post and this one are about her Van Gogh painting experience. This is her first 'Van Gogh' that adorned our living room.PS: Going through the old posts made me realise how much of the kids life I have missed by

Do you remember the time you spent at your grandparents place? A time away from the bustling city? A time away from pollution? A time spent in a care free manner? We had all that and I used to worry that my kids would miss them. But with the in-laws living in a village, they get to enjoy the best of both the worlds.Taking you through a holiday in a village...Green paddy fields welcoming you with

The little boy did the following two crafts in his school and it was just apt for Artsy Crafty July contest. The first one is a splash of colors. And this is how the little boy explained his art work, "Mummy, you have to take the colors you like and drip-drip and splash-splash on the paper. Then we can stick glitter on foam and stick that on the frame." This was the work he did today. It's his

On the day of the Parents-Teachers meet, the little girl says, "Amma, dont go and tell the teacher all that I tell you. She might think I dont have any work other than to tell you about school".The little boy to his mama,LB: J Uncle gave me this car. Do you know J Uncle?Mama: NoLB: He is Danny's father.

But have you heard BCM exercise conducted by the school? The little girl had one a couple of months back.

First and foremost, we won the second place in Shruti's Artsy Crafty for September! Vini @ Pooh's den sponsored the prize and the gifts were wonderful. The little girl was thrilled. Thanks Shruthi and Vini.This year we are going to India for Diwali. It's been sometime since we visited India during Diwali. I'm sure the kids would be amazed by the firecrackers there.

Visitors to Singapore normally exclaim about the greenary in Singapore. And this is one example why Singapore remains green. Look at the fencing around the trees to protect them when there's construction work going around it.

We normally send hand made cards to the cousins and grandparents. The little girl's favourite cousin's birthday was coming closer and we hadn't done any cards. I was blog hopping and came across this wonderful collection of hand made cards by TPL's mother. As we are not as artistic as her mother, we took an easy idea from there and prepared this.This was done entirely by the little girl last

I work in a company that gives a lot of importance to work life balance. This is one of the main reasons I have stayed with this job in spite of a number of odds. I got 6 months maternity leave for each of my kids when the norm was 3 months. Family emergencies are given the first priority. The bosses somehow try to adjust during those times. There are 3 incidents that stood out. All these three

Shruti's Artsy-Craftsy Challenge had us excited. We prepared a few finger painting stuff for the January contest, but the lazy mom didn't put up the post on time. And so we started preparing for the February contest. With the Valentine's day round the corner and the girl raving to do a card for her daddy, we decided to prepare a pop-up card. And, this is what we did. Now for the steps to do it.

A friend of ours had a life threatening health condition and had been undergoing treatment. After a couple of months, the doctors gave her a month or two at most and asked her to enjoy the remaining of her life. She is a young lady with two kids and the second one only a year old. She was devastated. She couldn't control her tears and was sobbing outside the doctor's clinic. An Indian nurse was

It was supposed to be like a mysore bak. But when poured on a plate and allowed to cool, it became hard on top and a bit gooey in the middle. I had to place it in the fridge to be able to cut it into pieces. Hubby took a few pieces to his office ... I tried to make him take only the mysore bak other friends had given for Diwali, but that was not enough...so he took a few of these sweets too. I

That is how the little one calls his Daddy...with the sing-song tone. We first noted it when we had been to a restaurant after the diwali shopping. The kid started shouting at the top of his voice "Oh Daddy" when his Dad went to wash his hand. The whole restaurant was laughing at his antics. We were wondering from where he could have caught this, when my daughter told "Amma, it resembles the "Oh

I was trying to decide between two dresses. One was a sleeveless and the other with sleeves. I tried on both and asked the opinion of Hubby and the little girl. Hubby was for the sleeveless one. The girl was on her best diplomatic mode and told me this "Mummy, I would prefer the one with sleeves. Altho both look fine, the first one makes you look like a young person. Not at all like my mother!!!"

I have always been against film songs being used in school annual day concerts. The first time I saw a film song in a school concert, I was pretty shocked. Having been to a convent school, which drilled the notion that films were bad (but they did take us to some of the best films I've seen in my life) I kept asking my aunt how her daughter's school had a filmy song for the annual day concert.

We move houses. The whole house is littered with boxes and total chaos prevails. The little one is playing in the master bedroom and a sudden gust of wind closes the door. It gets locked. One adult is immediately sent to soothe the child and keep him engaged, while the others run around the house like headless chicken looking for the blessed key.

Thinking she was up to some make believe games, I just gave her a reply. But she repeated the sentence and asked me to listen carefully before answering.

Like every other Indian, I have been doing nothing else other than switching channels and browsing thro the net for news on the Mumbai attacks. Have read so many news items, listened to all the discussions on TV and the read thro quite a few prominent blogs. A few points that I felt after reading the News and blogs is1. People claiming that the hue and cry now is because of the elite places being

The daughter set off to her grandma's house two weeks back. The day before leaving, there was a lot of drama at home. She wanted to see her favourite "Snow White" CD so that she remembers it during her holidays. There was a big hue and cry when we asked her to take a nap in the afternoon as she had not completed playing with all her toys before leaving for India (as if she even looks at them when

We were watching my son's first birthday party video. All was fine until we came to the part where the decorations were shown. The video had a long shot of the decorations and then zoomed in to the "Happy Birthday" wordings. After zooming in and out on those wordings and doing a slow motion run on each letter, it went down to show the birthday boy's name. This was a letter by letter zoom from the

What is the equivalent of "Thundu Podurathu"* in Singapore?It's "Tissue podurathu".

The term holidays started for my daughter from yesterday. I had got her a few activity books and the way she completes the activities nowadays, I thought that this would keep her occupied most of the time. So, on the first day of her term holidays, I call her to check whether she had completed any activity. She answers the phone with a "Oh mummy, I've been very busy this morning.""That's nice.

We had been to a park near our house. The sun had gone down and there were just a few kids still playing on the tarzan type swing. There are four such swings and the one next to the one where my daughter was playing was used by a group of children. A few guys came into the area and stood next to that swing. Immediately a small girl (hardly 7) looked at one guy and shouted 'Bangladeshi,

This morning, my daughter work up pretty early, 4:30am and didn't go back to sleep. I had to come to office early and so just got ready and started to leave. All the others in the house were still sleeping and I asked the little one to go back to bed. She kept coming behind me and when I was going to open the door, she asked me, "Mummy, you didn't have anything to eat!!". I said, "Yes dear, I'll

We were on our way to the library. The little one in the stroller and the big sis skipping by. We had to cross a school. There were cars coming and going out of the school. Taking this as a good opportunity, I showed big sis the indicators and explained how, a left indicator means the car is going to turn left into the school and hence we need to wait for them. She took all this in and even

I'm at office and I get a call from the little girl."Mummy, I have returned from school. There was a birthday party today and I've got a goody bag. It has lots of small toys. There is a 'chomp' and a puzzle too. I'm planning to take it to the playground with me. May I? " Before I could answer, " I'm going to take it to the playground".

Saw Dasavatharam during the weekend. We enjoyed it. I'm surprised at the level of criticism this film has been getting in the blog world. It certainly doesn't come under the category of "Don't watch". You can watch it once in the theatre. (Anyways, I have never watched any movie more than once in the theatre!!!)

After the dramatic entrance made by us, we settled in quickly. The following two days was a mad rush with us getting things ready for my brother's wedding. There were the last minute purchases, checking things out and over all the fantastic chaos we normally associate with such functions :) The big sis looked like a doll. She likes to doll up and we do like to cater to it. The gagra choli and

Hectic is a mild word to describe the past few weeks. It started right on the day we were leaving. The flight was delayed by 3 hours and we were supposed to go directly to my uncle's house for lunch. A feast was planned for my brother and cousin who were the two grooms getting married in the next few days. This was part of the tradition and all my uncles and aunts and cousins from my mom's family

Classroom sessions with my daughter are a delight. You get an insight into what happens in her class (normally she wont tell anything about what happened in class).The little one is always the teacher and all the others in the household become the students. Sometimes imaginary ones are also added. Some GEMS from her:"Aiya...you never listen to me!!!" - this is said with a perfect Singlish Accent.

The little one is following in the footsteps of his sister. He is barely able to sit without support and wants to dance now itself. When he hears his favourite song "Sanjadama Sanjadu" (Tamil song) he starts shaking his body to and fro. He also enjoyes watching his sister dance. He would laugh in glee the moment she starts singing in a loud voice (almost shouting) and dancing.

I note that I have been unconsiously making comparison with my previous delivery and the recent one. I had been to two different GYN for my daughter and son. For my daughter it was a private practicioner and a well known one. But she was arrogant and very strict. Every visit to her would be a tension filled one. She used to complain during each visit. Either it was too much weight or too little.

Ever since my daughter turned two, we have been preparing our own greeting cards. Birthdays, Anniversaries and special occasions, are all remembered with the handmade cards. Earlier, my daughter used to paint the cards and I would write the contents. Now she is able to draw, paint and write by herself.

When I was climbing the few steps to our apartment, my daughter took hold of my hand and told, " Careful mummy..it has rained and would be slippery. If you fall, you will hurt baby also ". So small and yet to so caring!!! She is already thinking about the baby's well being :) I'm sure she would be a super sister. (

When we had our first child, we didn't want to know the Sex of the baby beforehand as we wanted it to be a surprise. But as the days were nearing the delivery, I very much wanted to know the baby's sex. So for the second one, there was no doubt. We wanted to know the sex and got to know it too. But once we knew it, we were not that happy. Felt we should have waited for the baby to be born, to

Daddy and daughter had gone to a class the other day and when the little one wanted to pee, he took her to the men's. The next time, when I took her to the class and then to the ladies, she said "Mummy, last time daddy forgot that I was a girl and took me to the mens!!!"

You were such a cute little darling yesterday. When I returned from office tired, you took the bag from me and kept it in its place. Then, you made me sit and massaged my legs. Where did you learn this from. You bought tears to my eyes.Thanks a lot darling.- The teary mom.

The little one wakes up at 3:30am and comes to the parents bed with the sole purpose of waking mummy and daddy up. She manages to get a mumble from her dad and a irritated "sleep now, its still dark outside" and a vigorous patting from her mom. Not satisfied she starts asking questions. When there is no reply, she starts crying. Immediately both parents are up and check what's wrong. Seeing that

May 18th, 2007. It was the parents-teachers meet at my daughters school. Althou I didn't go to the school expecting a lot of complaints, I was sure there would be a few issues here and there. Specially about her loud voice and screams. She is so loud, that I can hear her screams from our 6th floor apartment when she goes to the playground or swimming pool.But, what did I get on that day?

Normally we have visitors from India in May and get the juicy Thathacariyar Gardens Imam pasand mangoes. But this year, we didn't have anyone coming in May. June had come and no one was planning to visit us in the first two weeks. So I was sure that we had missed the mangoes this year. But, as luck would have it, the mango season was delayed this year and so when my parents came in mid June, they

We had been on a cruise and on the last day, all those embarking in Singapore were asked to assemble at the auditorium. The cruise members were keeping everyone engaged with a few games and fun activities. Then they invited kids to sing. No one was willing. My little one suddenly got up and went boldly to the DJ and told her that she wanted to sing. When she was given the mike she sang "Twinkle

We are planning to move to a house near my daughter's school next week. So we were busy packing our stuff during the weekend. All the furniture is provided by the house owner in our current house as well as the new one we are moving to. So we don't have much to pack...or that is what we thought, until we started. There were hordes of letters and bills to sort out, toys and clothes to be sorted

Got a call from a long lost family friend last night. The last we heard from them was 20 years back. She took the pains of finding a mutual friend and getting our contact number from them. Getting a call from someone who you think about quite often, but have lost touch is wonderful.

Three meter high barbed wire fence, police men at every nook and corner, a dozen fire engines, riot police...does this sound like a scene from the high security camps? Well this is how it is around the Suntec area in Singapore. The IMF meeting is taking place at the Suntec Convention Centre. All roads leading to the convention centre, including the overhead bridge are blocked to public. A whole

A new comer to Singapore would be stuck by the greenery around him. Everywhere you go, you would find green trees and shrubs. Even in the highly populated City area, you would find fresh green plants smiling at you.With so many plants you might think that there would be a few flowers around. Especially, since Singapore is touted as the Garden City. But, except for a few pathetic Bouganvilla

There was a big recruitment spree going on in our company and specifically in our project.

There was also the time constraint as there were nearly hundred people required for the project on short term basis. The candidates were shortlisted by

Then, there are those temple visits and the functions they plan to have

In almost all the houses that I had visited in Switzerland they had candles lighted in their house. Right from the huge pillar like candles lighted at a corner of the room or small candles on the dining tables, there were sure to be candles.

Did you know:Killing a person in Chennai is as simple as shooting him point blank on the head in a park with lots of kids playing around and no one actually noticing it.Killing is also such a normal act that the killer can easily revert back to normal life, without a trace of remorse. In the midst of all this, eating an ice cream when it rains is so peculiar, that anyone who does it should belong

But since the kids can have dual citizenship and decide when they are 17 as to which citizenship they would like to retain, she went for the whole family.Ever since she told that they have got the
