Why do I always feel that moms who blog are truly super women? Perhaps the thought and assumption that if they are married, have kids, perhaps have jobs and still manage to find some time to talk about their child, life and other issues, they must be really good time managers, perhaps they must really be passionate, perhaps they love their wards so much that they dont leave any stone or blog unturned.
Now, will I be able to do this.. Let me give it a try I could discontinue in a few days.. u'll never know. I am not sure how much I can sustain.. but nevertheless..
First, what was it that I wanted when I imagined a family. For some reason, I've always dreamt of having one girl child. My vision of a happy family was - happiness - celebration - festival - girl wearing glittery lehenga and twinking bangles. So there we stop at a girl child.
It is also rooted to my childhood where a friend of mine - who was a single child - somehow managed to get better marks (with my mom bemoaning - she is a single child and her mom must be giving her complete attention), she was better dressed (same reason), she is more talented (their parents can afford such things as they don't have other kids)... So it was my dream to have one child and a girl child at that. What would I have done if I had a son? I would have had another one for a girl. What would I have done if I had two sons.. I would have taken sanyaas!!! Thankfully, I got what a dreamt. End of story!

High drama and mindless Hungama
Why do we Indians need reality shows such as Bigg Boss when we
witness great action 24x7 at the school gate, in the local train, aboard the college bus, across the movie theatre, around the traffic circle
‘Drama in real life’ was a column in Reader’s Digest for most Indians, only until Big Boss made inroads into our living room via the television screen.
Now there is rama, high drama and mindless hungama everyday in the form of these reality shows. For those who tuned in late, Big Boss is a live telecast of the lives of a bunch of cantankerous people from a heterogeneous group held captive under strange circumstances.

Soulful Nightingale
Sunitha GOPARAJU is the voice that has regaled the Telugu audience with over 600 songs and by lending her voice to 80 heroines in 520 movies... write Manju Latha Kalanidhi
Her mobile phone caller tune is in sharp contrast to what she is. The song goes ‘Andamga lena, assalem baalena (Am I not beautiful? Am I really so awful?) but Tollywood singer and dubbing queen Sunitha Goparaju is considered to be one of the most gorgeous singers in the industry with a pleasing personality to match her looks.
Catch her in her Madhapur apartment on any work day morning and you will see a talented multi-tasker who can toss up a dosa, do a conference call with her office, answer a journo’s question and email a picture on her iPad.
On the professional front too, she juggles a host of things. “Like all Indian women, I am a good multi-tasker too. I host live music shows, I dub for the Bollywood girls in Telugu movies. And yes, I am a playback singer too,” she says proudly.

Review of 180
I like the little elements in 180 more than the whole package. The poster itself is interesting with the '1' looking like a depleting bone (symbolic of life's vulnerability), the 8 designed like an hourglass, again to remind you of how short life is and the 0 with a heart in it. But by the end of it.. read the rest at

Settling scores
DD came back from school saying she had one 'good' news and one 'sad' news. First the good news - She is in yellow house. Owww we are fans of yellow in our house. We have a yellow corner, yellow curtains, yellow wardrobes... The sad news - A boy from another house said Yellow Yellow Dirty Fellow :(
So DD and I decided to give tit for tat for all other groups. This is what we came up with (with help from generous friends and online forums)
Green, green, bathroom clean
Blue blue, polish my shoe
Red, red, sussu in the bed!!!
Yayyy, feeling so good after we said it aloudddd

Movie review: Veera
Have you ever taken a six year old to a movie? The child sits still exactly for 12 straight minutes and then gets restless about going home. Veera does the same with grown-ups. Almost every 20 minutes, you look up your watch or check your Facebook messages on your phone. Not one single scene binds you or lets you connect with the movie. Read more at
