      Usually when I am taking tutions, my daughter sits with me... She loves me taking classes as she gets to enjoy with all the other kids..  Tutions has become part of our lives.. I love teaching and my daughter loves to read with all the other children. She also listens to carefully when I am teaching the other kids and sometimes reacts to it with her own understanding.      One such incident happened when one day I was taking a class on English Grammar and was teaching phrasal verbs in particular to my kids. I gave an example to them as "put in". I said "put in" means to spend some amount of time or effort in doing something. Example " I have put in lot of effort in learning to ride a bicycle". All the kids listened carefully. Then I asked them if they had any doubt.. Everybody said no and that they had understood... but there was one small voice which came inbetween who had a query.      My kiddo had a question. I was very su...

   It was a regular day for me..I sent my baby to school and as usual finished my daily chores.. i had to complete a blog post on my laptop so was little fast than usual.. By the time I was done with it was already 12.. I had to pick her up.    My baby seemed a little more happy than usual.. When we returned, she told me that she is grown up now. "Why..what happened? " was my instant reaction.. She said I would be going to a Vegetable market and shop all by myself. You need to give me Rs.20 for it. Now i had a smile on my face.. but I was more interested to know the details.. Then I checked the diary and I got all the details.. The school would set up a Vegetable Market in their Garden Area and we had to send an eco friendly bag with the kids for their shopping along with Rs.20.     This sounded so nice to me, because it had brought in a sense of responsibility in my kid. The event was day after. So the two days went by thinking what all vegetables she w...

        Our days won't end without telling a series of stories both from the Puranas and also the ones with a moral in them. Though I make up many stories with all the possible twists and turns, my baby enjoys the stories from the Puranas told by her dad more than the stories of present context.          I love to hear their conversation. My husband keeps trying to answer and calm down her super exited brain , but sometimes we both fail to answer them.        One such instance is when one night he was saying the story of VARAHA avatara of Lord Vishnu. He said that Lord Vishnu became Varaha to save the earth "Bhoodevi" from Hiranyaksha. The demon Hiranakshya had hid her under the ocean. Varaha lifted the earth in between his tusks and rose from the ocean thus saving earth.                     My daughter listened to the entire story carefully without dis...

     As i sat down thinking what should be my first thoughts regarding this blog, I thought I first need to introduce my baby..   She is my sweetheart, my world, my everything...and if I say she is my teacher, that won't be wrong. I have always learnt new things from her.. She is 4.5 years old. She loves dancing and can dance to any kind of music.. she loves to solve puzzles and learns new things always. As any mother would say she is my best friend.. and our bonding is something which goes beyond words... We understand each others heart beat too..        I would love to keep all the memories that i spend with my daughter intact... She should cherish all the moments of her childhood and I am sure she would enjoy every post of this blog when she grows up. It is going to be the best gift that i would give her ever.. So here I am treasuring our memories.. Enjoy reading!!

Hi All, Welcome to my blog... There is a general saying that "Mothers don't sleep... They just worry with their eyes closed.." These words are so true.. Once a mother is always a mother. Being a mother is learning about the strengths you didn't know that existed in you and dealing with fears you never knew existed.. I always wanted to record every moment, every happiness, every challenge that comes in this journey. So here I am..  This is my world with my daughter, her sweetness, her strengths, her activities and the teachings that i get to learn from her. Enjoy reading..!! Regards, Bhavana Rao..
