This and That

10 hours work days....
Persisting cough and cold...
Hubby not feeling so very well....
stream of visitors over the weekend.....
Messy house, hunt for maid led me no where....
Light at the end of tunnel, parents coming tonight.....


15 more hours for them to be here and I can't wait. This is the first time they are coming together. Mom was here for my pregnancy but this is dad's first trip. And this will be the first time in 7 years that we will spend some quality time together, all of us including my brother. Sahithi has been very very excited and counting days. Fun filled months are what are ahead now.

Confused

Finally, Hubby dear found out about my blogging and he has no opinion about it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am still confused as to be happy about it or sad about it.

Southern California Fires

If you guys have been following the news about Southern California fires, please pray for all the people who have suffered because of it. Being right in the center of this devastation reemphasised the fact of how insignificant and helpless we are when forces of nature decide to take things into their hands.

Culture vs. Religion

I was reading some old magazine left in the break room at work. There was a statement in it from a 21 year old.

I don't think culture is important. What is important is religion.

I read it and re-read it. And was still confused.
I would like to know your thoughts on this.

Fellow bloggers, readers ( I know I have about three of you :)), random visitors, please let me know your thoughts on it. Leave a comment or do a post of your own or send me an email to sahithismom@gmail.com

Thoughts on Parenting -1

Was channel surfing and saw Baghban (Hindi Movie) being played on one of the channels. That particular scene caught my attention.

This is the scene where Hema malini says "Shayad meri parvarish mein kami thi" meaning " May be my upbringing could have been better" and this line got me thinking.

How hard it must be for a mom to admit that there were better ways to raise her children. Several things could have been done in several ways. And I would like to think that I choose the correct way based on my judgement at that point and that is the best I can do. To question myself about that judgement would be the biggest punishment for me.

Have been having several thoughts about how we have been raising Sahithi. And I see my short comings. Not having patience being the most biggest one. I will have to work on it. I don't want to look back and tell myself " I should have done better".
