Welcome Prianca

Thanks Komal for taking this blog to a new level. Like we all know, more the merrier. And when it comes to parenting, we sure can do with a lot more inputs. So, Welcome Prianca.

I have sent the invite to Prianca to start writing on the blog. Komal, I guess you can do the honors of introducing her to the process. That apart, Prianca - You can check some of the old posts for more information as to how this blog started, what the header signifies and basic instructions on how to post articles up here.

We would like to know more about you. So, write in and fill us up about yourself, your little brat and just about anything (oh did I forget someone?Ah, hubby dear!) you want to share with this bunch of us out here!

And before I forget, I am Deepti Pawar (Komal's college mate, obviously) and here is a little something about my life after we graduated until date. A few other ex-college moms who are already on-board have written in too. Check out their posts as well.

Welcome aboard!

Happy Blogging. Haffun.

Introducing Prianca Aswal

Hey girls,

This blog was started with the idea of having a common forum where we mothers could blog and share our views/thoughts and experiences. The authors not restricted to CMS/EMS - MCC batch of 2001, hence thought would introduce Prianca Bhatia Aswal to you guys and invite her to start blogging with us.

Pria is from Delhi - Noida to be specific; and as an adorable son named Shaurya Singh Aswal (shaurya is just 2 days older than Kyra). Both Deepak (her husband) and she wanted a very Rajasthan Royal name - hence the singh. Where did I meet her --- thats the crazy part, we havent met each other till date. Became friends with her thru www.babycentre.in - we shared the same EOD for a babies. Became real close buddies right thru our pregnancies, sharing concerns about our yet to be born children to bitching about various things and sharing stories about fights with hubby dearest to making up with hubby ideas. Just about everything!!!!

Pria,
The authors so far are all my class mates from college. And yes before you ask....I actually did graduate!!!!

Lucky 14?!?!?!?!

Hey,

Just in case you are wondering what significance the number 13 has with our blog....I was just jotting down the number of mothers in our batch, and I counted 13. Thought would be good to put up a list of the names and details of their offspring's as per my knowledge.

Ramya - son (Anish)
Heena - Son (Krish)
Trisha - Son (Vivaan)
Anitha - Son (Shreyas)
Deepti - Son (Samvit)
Sathya - Son (Ayush)
Liz - Son (Jaiden)
Vijay - Son (Krish)
Yesra - Sons (????)
Shruti - Son (Tejas)
Sohini - Daughter (Avantika)
Smitha - Daughter (Nainika)
Pallavi - Daughter (Mihika)
And me - daughter (Kyra)

Sorry if I have forgotten anybody or if I have made spelling and other mistakes.
Do let me and the rest of us know, the correct details.

On a separate note when the idea of the blog was started the forum was to be open to other mothers, not necessarily from our batch or even our college - is that still open? Wanted to invite a good friend of mine to this blog - she is from Delhi and has an adorable son who is 2 days older than Kyra.

Cheers!!!!

Golden Girls!

I dont know if anyone has watched this comedy show called the "Golden Girls".. but I really enjoy watching that show. It is a very old show like the Cosby show ( which again I really love) and it usually comes on the hallmark channel and I watch it late night around 10:30 and it goes on for a couple of hours. I don't sit to watch all the episodes ..but after I am done with dinner and putting jaiden to bed and done with the last chores.. I sit down to relax and watch this show.

The stories are based on 4 women.. who are roomies.. of which there is a mother and a daughter and 2 friends. There is Dorothy (the tall intelectual one), Sophia (dorothy's mother, the witty one), Rose( the really adorable but dumb one) and Blanche ( the sofisticated one.. who is trying to get as many dates as she can! ).

The reason I watch it is because , it reminds me of my college days having room mates and we had so much fun just talking and chit chatting together for hours and hours about the same topic or going on a tangent and ending up in a place nowhere close to where we started!!

But then we wern't wives or mothers.. but this show is about these women who WERE wives once and how their children have grown up and moved on and how they deal with their own lives in a funny way and you tend to relate to some of the characters in the show. And I realized that I was once roomies when I wasn't married, I am watching this show relating myself to the women in the show who have already gone through most of their life and I am actually going through life sharing my own life events through this BLOG! We women are not roomies.. but it is like we are the "Golden Girls" of the present age through the blog! hahahaaa!

It was a thought that suddenly ran through my mind and thought i'd share it with everyone! If anyone gets the time to watch one of the episodes.. you should!
