Riddle Me Ri: February 2012
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. To Ri or not to Ri - Part One. Ever so often, I wonder about that elusive second child. Do I want one? Do I need one? What if I denying Ri something by not having one? What if I am denying myself a career by having one at this stage? I am a Libran so even if that means, constantly and carefully evaluating and balancing decisions, it also means a scale that is always tilting, I am pretty indecisive. With Ri, it all seemed so much simpler. I had all this energy. I finally had a r...

Riddle Me Ri: May 2011
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Ri has learnt a new expression '. Means 'No'. She has a grand time saying. For everything even when she may be inclined to say 'Yes' to it. Is entirely compulsive. Sometimes she will say it many times over till her point comes through which I think is something like ' Leave me alone. I am not interested in anything you have to offer me right now". Other times ( which is rarer though), she will say it to satisfy her impulse and then sweetly oblige. Shall we have lunch now? I wonde...

Riddle Me Ri: June 2010
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. Sweet Child of Mine. When you’re a parent (even a newbie one like me), it’s easy to desperately want to protect your child from everything bad. In particularly emotional moments, you find yourself wondering if there are ways to strike bargains with God, transfer some of your child’s future hurt onto yourself, increase your share of disappointments in the hope that theirs will decrease. Blog Title: Sweet child of mine - Guns n Roses. A hundred days have made me older. The not-so art...

Riddle Me Ri: While she walks out ......
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2012/06/while-she-walks-out.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. While she walks out . Yesterday, I picked up Ri from her playschool. As I waited for my daughter to come out, excitement building, like paparazzi waiting for a celeb snapshot, I realised that picking your kid up from school is one of those 'Mastercard' moments. Moments like these are 'zen'! Deadlines, home and work-stress fade away. They joy of being a parent is remembered. Ri is ok. She is ok. Everything else comes second. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). While she walks out .

Riddle Me Ri: September 2011
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Random Ri List: Updates and the like. Ri fell off the bed again. A mother's worst nightmare. Ok, one of many nightmares. She keeps asking for her father who is travelling. '. She asks sweetly in Tamil. I respond, never really sure how to pronounce it right though I lived there for four years. Now RD has two pissed off women to contend with every time he travels. One who cannot pronounce America. Or,. Well, that's fodder for another post. When did she first smile? Ri's idea of...

Riddle Me Ri: There I said it !
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2012/06/there-i-said-it.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. There I said it! Ri looks like my dad. I'm her mom and I should know. No. She does not look like my mother-in-law! Raj's family have sharp features. Regal noses. Angular faces. Ri and Raj have no similar features! Maybe they share similar expressions but then people should say she 'has similar expressions to him' and not 'she looks like him'. And, after five years of marriage, you really stop with the 'my family' and 'your family' thing so this is not one of those rants! What wo...

Saturday, June 9, 2012. It's been so long since I've posted in this space. I have so much going on with my work and all the work going on in our new apartment. The sweltering heat and frequent power cuts are not helping! 10 Ri-eal Life Updates:. You keep talking about a 'tangachi' (younger sister in Tamil). I think you would be a great elder sister. However, you talk about the 'tangachi. Should not be in my stomach because you will crawl back into it. I think you need a best friend! Talking about Gods an...

Riddle Me Ri: November 2011
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Ten random updates and non-updates. Ri is down with a fever. I’m re-reading my post on Fever Fighting. To re-educate and re-assure myself. Also came across this useful article. Which every new fever-fighting parent must read. Do read the part about. Combining cough medication and fever-reducers. Also, add a few drops of Eau-de-cologne to the water used to sponge feverish baby. The overall effect is a bit jazzy but adds fragrance to the otherwise dull proceedings. Ri’s ...

Riddle Me Ri: January 2012
http://riddlemeri.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Ri is now two. Sunday, January 15, 2012. It is Pongal 2012 today and I am sitting in front of the laptop strumming away at the keys. You are with your father’s parents. I am sure you must be having a gala time over there. I appreciate the ‘alone’ time I have right now. I have so much of work to do on the computer, in the computer, outside the computer. Bah. I wonder how old you will be when you begin to read these posts I write for you. Will they still be available? Did he se...
