Something to Say: April 2007
http://saynaasomething.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 03, 2007. The 6 word story. I came, I saw, I blogged. Nine months that changed a lifestyle. Passionate night unravels my DINKy plans. Is that truth behind the veil? I want what I cant have. Son rose, sunshine drenched my life. New mother now realizes mother’s worth. Dreams scattered like feathers of hen. Her womb carries scars of motherhood. Why not cry over spilt milk? They didn’t deserve Super 8 qualification. We chose past glories over future promises. Links to this post. For starters, ...

Something to Say: October 2007
http://saynaasomething.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 11, 2007. I am thankful for. Hubby makes a moot point that I am forever complainative. That I can complain about everything. Even about the choices that I have made myself. So let me put the record straight and put down in writing the things I am thankful for. Thank You God for a child that is healthy and happy. So he's a little late on the talking milestone. But he blabbers and says a number of words. And its a start. I keep hoping and praying that he will gush out soon. They've always...

Something to Say: November 2006

Wednesday, November 29, 2006. My reticent lil babbler said his first phrase the other day. He said "Offo A(his name)" a la the old Promise ad. The verdict seems to be that these seem to be the 2 words I use most often with him! Its probably true - coz the only other word he says clearly is 'hi'. Posted by Something to Say @ 5:05 PM. Links to this post. Monday, November 27, 2006. And who knows, maybe it does! Well, all this, until last year. With a heavy heart we turned homewards. Truly a Black Friday!

Something to Say: June 2007
http://saynaasomething.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 24, 2007. Fortunately ma is adept in the art of tuning out and is humming to herself as she hangs the clothes out to dry. Sonny marches into the balcony, sits on the lil edge at the end of the grill and places his boom-box almost at the edge at the grill. A bit of breeze and the cell will sail to the ground where it will meet a sure death on the concrete floor below it. Don’t touch the AC? Ok, on, off, on off, on, off! This luv-shuv is fine but hey go call your father. This entire drama carr...

Monday, July 30, 2007. We've just returned from the pool and I am so fuming mad. Usually there are a lot of kids playing in the pool. Since the kids pool has only 2 feet of water its really the tiniest of tots that play here. Which is good for me - coz sonny feels really threatened with the bigger kids. This evening a family with 4 kids (good lord! I didnt know what to do. Should I speak to her mom and remind her that we do wish to share her daughter's viruses? Posted by Something to Say @ 7:51 AM. Then ...

Something to Say: August 2007
http://saynaasomething.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 27, 2007. If there's one debate that stirs up as much passion in the desi community, as maybe the composition of the Indian cricket team - its this. Veggie or Non Veggie? And I cant understand the reason why. You eat what you like, I eat what I like. Why is it up for public debate? What peeves me even more is the subtle conversion that people attempt to make. Like this comment I often hear, "you must give your child chicken - how else will he get protein? I say, laissez faire! Ok, parents ...

Something to Say: February 2007
http://saynaasomething.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 01, 2007. I had barely finished ranting about the fact that hubby calls me ‘mamma’ that another of these home truths hit me. We had just finished getting sonny’s hair-cut at one of these ‘kids-only’ hair cutting places. As usual, sonny had wailed and bawled and let loose the ‘ganga jamuna’. I was pacifying him when a 5 ish year old walked up to us. She looked at sonny and said o the baby is crying . I have a baby at home too she added. After a small pause, she said and I have a mommy.

Something to Say: September 2007

Wednesday, September 19, 2007. K's mom tags me to do a tell-all of the names we call sonny. To begin with Sonny. Is itself a nick. Sonny's Ma bows to take the credits on this one. The quintessential boy nick ever. Called only when sonny is behaving himself. A spin-off for 'Pyaaru' or loved one. Mommy doffs her hat at these. At times Sonny's mom forgets she has a boy and insists on calling him girl nicks. So he's called:. Depending on whether mom is in a mood for a boy or girl nick. Links to this post.

Something to Say: March 2007
http://saynaasomething.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 24, 2007. Has tagged me to write 5 unknown things about me. Unknown? I tried to rack my brains about what facts about me would be unknown and yet probably be interesting reading about me. I come from a really conservative family. So much so that my parents insisted I wear only salwar khameez when I went to college. Make-up was a no-no and friendship with guys was frowned upon. And after all that I decided to make advertising my chosen profession where I spent 6 years. Links to this post.
