Z For Zzzzzzzz

anything for you

love you to bits

an extra hour of Zzzzzzz

Z for Zzzzz

When I was thinking about what to write from Z, many things came to my mind “Zen, Zillion, Zebra etc etc” but nothing struck a chord better than Zzzzzzzz. I have been sleep deprived for more than five years. And I am not the sleepy type or rather I use to be, not the sleepy type. For me just an uninterrupted sleep of 5 hours is normally enough in a day but it has been so many years of not even getting that continuously, so I really really miss it. I am waiting for those days to come back, when I can be in bed for hours and hours and get up as and when I want to. One of the side effects of being a 24/7 mom I guess.

Are you a parent? Do you love your sleep? How many hours do you think you can sleep at a stretch? I think I can sleep for as long as full 24 hours if I get uninterrupted sleep!! :P

X For Xerox

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

Smiles with his eyes

Cries with his heart

Just like me

X Xerox

My five year old is so much like me that sometimes I feel like I am seeing myself in the mirror. He is all heart, laughs and cries with a vigor. Just like me. Sometimes it scares me, reminds me of all the heart breaks and aches I had to go through but it also means he will experience the joy with complete heart. It means he will live and experience the life way more than many people around him. More pain, more joy and more life lived!

Here he is smiling with his eyes. I literally can live in those eyes!

What about you? Is there someone you feel who is completely or somewhat like you?

W For Wild

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

wild family

W Wild

We are quite wild as a family and no we don't behave much socially also. What is the fun in being a child if you have to behave like an adult everywhere? Yes there are places where they can't misbehave (Or act like a child) but there are a lot of other places where we behave and act like kids, birds, cats, monkey, elephant, frog etc etc. And that is so much more fun than being an adult.

Do you always behave? Or rather behave like a kid or is there a child in you that comes out on occasions? If possible share an incident when you were a kid and loved it.

V Victory

The biggest victory at the day end for me is to watch my cute monsters finally fall asleep, all safe and sound. Yes there are days when I can't believe I am managing kids and surviving it. It was a challenge, it is a challenge and it will always be. But I love challenges and this is one of the most beautiful challenge of all.

spice of life

S Spice

A small fight and a big makeup! This happens almost everyday. I would never ever change it. This is what adds flavors to my day. Too much sugar would kill me.

How often do you have such fights? With your spouse/Parents/Siblings? Would you rather not fight or like me you love spicy more than sweet?

R For Repulsed

R Repulsed

I never thought I will end up living with so many boys. Now that I am, life is a little different and a lot difficult. Things are never in their place and a lot of things end up in my food. I have had so many flavors of tea that I won't know from where to start and where to end, most common is mint flavored (with toothpaste). But I refuse to give up. Agree animals can't be tamed but as Mr. Pi Patel (From Life of Pi) rightly said " But animals can be trained"!! (Well in his case it was the tiger and  I have monkeys)

How much of an animal are you? And do you enjoy mint tea...if yes do stop by sometime! :D :D

P Papa

From where do I start and what do I write about the role of my better half in my kids' life? I am at home and he goes out & works, so the amount of time he gets with the kids is much less but that doesn't make his role any less important. He is a hands on dad and his kids love him to death. I am blessed to have a life partner like him but more than that he is one of the best fathers I have ever seen.
I wrote something about him a few months back. Please do read it here.

Innumerable friendships

One year

O One year

Exactly one year back on 17th April 2013 I started blogging. Now 226 posts, 40000 footprints, million friends and zillion moments later I feel like the richest person in this world.

I dedicate this post to each and everyone of you. You have made my journey full of vibrant colors and eternal memories.

Also I would like to say a special thanks to Pankti, who was one of the first person to leave her prints on my blog. (The only person before her was a spam :P ). Do check out her blog here. She is an amazing writer and has become one of my closest friends in last one year.

I don't like it but I do nag a lot. I wish I would do it much less, I do try a lot but I fail miserably. Guess it goes with the territory. I promise myself almost daily but I fail also almost daily.

What about you? Do you nag? If yes which is the one thing that drives you most crazy?

M Moolah

One of the mantras that I follow by heart is as much of home made food as possible. Almost everything from spices, herbs, sauces, jams etc are grown or made at home. I wish I could do more. It not only is healthy, it also saves a lot of moolah.

So what are your mantras of food? Do you like going out or do you love spending time in the kitchen?

L For Let It Go

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“Heart breaks and bleeds

Dreams shatter and die

Let it go”

L Let it go

A very valuable lesson in life "Let it go". Easy said than done. I have (rather had) a tendency to live in my past, to count heart breaks more than my blessings. I have a dark twisted (Kind of) past which use to overshadow my present a lot. But I have changed (Still work in progress though). As my elder one is growing; he is also teaching me a lot of life skills, like letting go. His heart breaks become mine and together we work on it and we move on. This has also healed me, I am more free from my past and more aware of my present.

Where are you? Still in the past, lost in the future, living in the moment or somewhere lost in between?

Stolen Kiss”

K Kiss

What is more perfect than a moment alone with your loved one? With so many prying eyes and screaming voices we rarely get any time alone, so a few seconds of those stolen moments make up for years of lost time.

When was the last time you stole sometime and spent it with your loved one? Or spent doing something that you were not supposed to do?

J Jokes

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“A back slap

message to the world

Just kidding”

J Jokes

Have you ever done this trick of back slapping a friend with a chit? I have, multiple times! One of the most common chits used is "Kick me". If you are around me, you may end up being kicked quite a lot (Just kidding or may be not!) :P

As far as jokes are concerned I have not grown up. I loved silly jokes and I still do. One of the silliest and my favorite joke is:

"Q: Why did the picture go to jail?
A: Because it was framed"

So which is the latest joke you have heard? Tell me your most favorite one!

A special shout out to a dear friend who always brings a big smile on my face. What better post to showcase her work than a post dedicated to jokes. Do read her...she is hilarious!

I For I

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“Poems in tiffin

Smileys on burnt toast

Bits of I everywhere"

I For I

I am unique, weird, crazy, stupid, funny but I am what I am. I don't apologize and don't give excuses for who I am. It took me a long time to discover myself but now that I know me, I am not willing to let go of it.

If you like me (I know you do!), it will make me happy and if you don't, it is completely okay but don't expect me to change just for you and your rights. My rights can be different from your rights!

What about you? Who are you? Do you know yourself or you are on a path of self discovery? Do you think we ever fully know ourselves?

H For Heart

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“stories at mid night

Heart wins”

H Heart

I am quite strict about schedules and planning. Even as a mother I have a time table and I try and follow it as much as I could. But heart doesn't understands time tables and schedules and neither do my kids. They are quite young right now and there are a few time when my heart loses to my head (Okay not few but many time)......(Okay okay not many almost every other day)...............(No really just every other day, not daily) :P

And when heart wins we let go of schedules and we do what our heart wants, be it stories at midnight, drives in early mornings, dance when you are supposed to study etc etc.

Do let me know how you liked the heart of my day. Do you have any similar incident in your day? What was the most heart warming incident that your remember from your last few days?
