I Know of One Beauty- My Mother


For all that you have given to me. 
With so much love and patience, discipline and tears. 
Casting all of your dreams into the sea. 

Although consumed by fury,you always loved me more than I deserve. 
Even before I know myself,you made me. 
For all you have done for me, for you bound up the wounds I cannot see. 
And gave me hope and passion all new. 
I can return not half but love with all my heart. 
Mother of my heart,you loved me till I turned to love. 
And I became the soul I would. 
Taking heed of neither pain nor price, love against all odds. 
I need your fierce,great love,and will I need ever after. 
I often wonder the depth of your love. 
I know it can’t be ‘just because’,or simply to be nice. 
The faith with which you mold me up,with prayers you shaped me. 
Your faith,my caravan. 
Ere love supply, the grace well earned 
So let me now show you how you look from here 
You are a grandeur …Mom!

Redefining Parenthood: Equal Responsibilities, Equal Love

As I navigated through challenges of parenting our sons, I couldn't help but reflect on the importance of shared responsibilities in our household. A friend's experience resonated with me - her husband refused to change diapers or care for their child, citing it as the mother's job. While mothers have a unique bonding experience, it's essential to recognize that both parents have an equal share of responsibility. Honestly, my home isn't perfect, now that we are parenting two boys but we strive for balance. When I returned to work, my husband took on childcare duties, adjusting our schedules to ensure our sons received the care they needed. It wasn't seamless, but he grew into an exceptional caregiver, taking on roles traditionally associated with mothers. It's infuriating to hear people refer to fathers caring for their kids as 'babysitting' . A baby-sitter is someone who takes care of a child temporarily. A father caring for his children is simply b...

Rewrite Your Story

We've all got parts of our past we wish we could redo. Moments we replay in our heads, wishing we'd done things differently. But here's the truth: your past isn't a life sentence. It's just one chapter in your story. What matters most is what you choose to do now. Every day, you get to turn the page, write a new story, and decide that your story doesn't end with pain, mistakes, guilt, or heartache. You're not stuck, and you're not defined by what happened or the choices you made. You're evolving, and the beauty of life is that you get to take the pen back and write something new – something true to who you are now. So, stop looking back with regret. Your past shaped you, but it doesn't define you. Look forward with intention. You're in control of how your story ends, and trust me, it can still be extraordinary.

Decoding Delhi School Part 2

A truly appreciable format!  As a parent, I've always been curious about my son's performance in the entrance exam, not because I'm obsessed with marks, but because we relocated from a place with different educational standards and I want to know the areas we might be lacking to reach the standards here. My son and I worked diligently for weeks, revising concepts and basics in grammar and math. So, it was thrilling to receive a comprehensive assessment sheet, complete with insightful feedback on his strengths and weaknesses from the evaluating teacher. As a parent, this is exactly what I look for in a school - transparency, constructive feedback, and a genuine interest in helping my child grow. Kudos to Delhi School for setting a high standard! In conclusion, I'm impressed and grateful for the school's thorough assessment process. It's clear that they prioritize understanding each child's unique needs and potential. I'm excited to see my son thrive in th...
