Uciraa pokthutha from Ravanan
Kadhal Anukal from enthiran
Neela vaa nam from manmathan ambu
En nenjil from bana kathadi
Mandram vantha from mouna rag am

All serial title songs (only songs)...
Saravanan meenakshi title music...

He really enjoys music..He loves melody songs....

Impact of the post what happened to Indian teens???

We(Parents) are the reason for this culture. we feel proud about our kids having boyfriend or girlfriend ... Even I also posted one blog like kavin's first girlfriend. so we encourage this without our knowledge.. so kids are not ready to give up this culture in their teenage. so we also the reason for this change.

So I just changed both the titles ..

Kavin's first girl friend into Kavin's first good friend..
Little roadside Romeo into Little roadside dancer..

PS:Thanks to all who gave the valuable suggestions and comments...Keep posting ...

My little brave boy !!!

Yesterday was a very hard day for me....As soon as my husband came from office ,he asked the same questions like what kavin did in the school?...anything interesting ?..U had food?...I just replied no ..I felt something wrong ..no mood to talk...but I felt hungry...we had dinner together..By the time we finished the dinner,Kavin's couple of friends came to play with him...I gave them ZENGA blocks...That two girls built the blocks so beautifully..What's next?..My little man tried to destruct the block..Almost everything collapsed ..They got angry and they left..

That's all..My son was very upset and banged his head on a table corner..I just checked his head ...I touched..oh my god..So much blood...I don't know what to do?...My husband took him and rushed to hospital first..He told me to take cash ,his dress and come later...That time also he is telling Amma ,.bye..bye..tatta ...everything...Then I reached hospital..It's a small puncture kind of thing...Doctor cleaned with antiseptic and did some basic dressing...but his head swell very badly...

Doctor told him to give some syrup ..That's it..He never cried even they did dressing too...He told to give him ice-cream or cool drinks..My son is so happy to see chocolate shakes shop..He had a sizzler brownie (how they discover all this )..he didn't allow us to touch only...Now still little bit bleeding is there ..But he never mind....He desperately wants to go school too...

May be really he is a brave boy..I guess so...

Little Roadside Dancer !!!

As all u know kavin finally settled down in school so beautifully..Everyday he wakes up with full spirit..he got couple of friends..But renu is very very special for him...he is always running behind her....But today he did a great job..Today is children's day..so his teacher arranged small exercise type dance for play group..

Here comes the great news..Kavin's pair is Renu..The step is so simple ..They have to shake the head...then sit and stand etc...Sir already practised so many times..Today I went to drop him ..As soon as he saw renu in front of school..that's all..he ran and stand next to her..Then guess what?.?..he started dancing in road only ..Even she too....People started laughing so badly...

Now tell me..he is little roadside Romeo right???

My life twister!!!

Yesterday when I went to pick my son from school ,I got this idea for this post..I saw a question like best five things about motherhood in the notice board for sr.kg kids mommies assignment competition ( now a days parents also have to write assignment..???)..I was inspired and felt like posting here as I can't participate in the competition..(my son is only in playgroup...why they left poor playgroup kid's mommies)

1. From short temper to more patient soul :

Messing things,breaking glass,throwing mobiles,endless cleaning.... NEVER being able to finish a phone-call. Having your little son follow you to the bathroom...all these vignettes of motherhood need an inexhaustible supply of patience.

2. It made me a more socially aware person.

When I read about the little kid that was electrocuted by a live-wire in the playground, some school bus accident,some baby health issues you feel the pain more when you have children of your own. Everytime you hear news of school-shootouts or any tragedy that involves young children, you heart actually fails to beat for a second.. Before motherhood, I was able to read it all with a degree of distance. Now, I feel it.

3. It made me realise that there is life beyond a career.

I never thought I would be a full-time stay at home mom. And yet, that is exactly the choice I made when it came right down to it. I realised that nothing, NOTHING in the world can compensate for the joy in your child's face when he walks into the house after school. Not even the joy of making CEO.

4. It has made less judgemental of other women's choices.

Before kids, I was quick to judge and slow to understand. When I saw a toddler screaming in a restaurant, I would give the parents odd looks. When I heard of a woman who gave up a great career to stay home with her kids, I would think how she did this ?.. After motherhood, I have realised that life is a very long, very beautiful journey with inexplicable twists and turns. Now it is MY son who is rolling on the floor throwing a tantrum. It is I who has given up a career to be with my kid..And when someone gives me an uncomprehending look, I just smile quietly.

5. It has made me realise my parents worth.

Every time I shout in anger at something my son does,realise how much my parents went through and how nuch harder it was for them. And yet, I always grew up believing I was the center of his existence, the only reason for his happiness. If I can give my son half the sense of security that my parents gave me, I think my job is well done.

Amma is always with u ....



Now u got it ..right?..yes my life twister is my little man kavin......

Kavin's unique habit -2???

If he does anything wrong,he gives a little thief look...He messed up,broke anything and if we shout that's all,the maximum reaction is

So tell me now..how can I scold???
To be continued...

Kavin's unique habit -1???

After finishing shower , he always wants to be like this ...even if he takes very hot water also, his reaction is this only...For the past one and a half year ,he is doing like this..Even sometimes he just lay down for 15 mins too....

His father came to know last week only..Now I am so proud to be a homestay mom...I know more than his dad..he..he..he...

To be continued....

Kavin's first good friend.....

Kavin school was reopened ...Today when I dropped him,he waved happily ..The best part is he had his food too..When I went to pick him ,he came out with his girl friend ..He is not allowing her to go with her mom...she started crying..Then he left her..I post her pictures soon...

Then I enquired with his teacher regarding this..She told that they both are playing together in class room...My son is not leaving her ..He is keep on walking,running behind her...She laughed so much..Even everyone....

Exhausted.......

Babies should nt get sick. And can anyone tell me why we don't have a vaccination for common cold or at least some cure? Here we are in this century, in this time with prevention and cure for deadly diseases but we cant protect the kids from a common cold? Is this supposed to be a joke? If you have nt already guessed, Kavin is down with a cold. Running nose, severe cough, vomiting, nose block,... the works! I waited for 2 days but the cough got worse. He does nt know to spit so the phlegm was accumulating. As soon as I give the medicine he vomited Which was actually good as the phlegm was out. He was looking miserable....

Today second half was the worst day in my life. There are different types of worst days and I write this one down so that I can compare notes later when I have another one.

I am tired even when I get up .....then dropped kavin in school , so major cooking, cleaning etc..Again picked him from school....Karthick is not in town for the past 4 days.....Kavin is sick.The day only worsens. Kavin drags a chair near the shelf in hall,stands on it, takes the glass from the cutlery unit and drops it on the floor. I am in the kitchen and hear a shattering noise. I think he has dropped a spoon or something and go to the room. There are a million pieces of glass all over the room. I carry him out and ask him to stay put in the hall when I sweep the whole room and then mop. In the mean time, I have forgotten the milk I had kept on the stove. I don't know how but it explodes and there is milk everywhere in the kitchen. I clean. In the mean time, Kavin has opened a cup board and takes out all the 101 things from there and spreads them across the hall.He tears the Colouring book and is on his way to my precious Tamil book when I save it from him..I clean. Fast forwarding the soosoo cleaning and poopoo cleaning and we get to night time. After finishing his dinner, he goes to sleep around 9.30 pm.

I go to eat my dinner. (Karthick is nt home yet, by the way!) As soon as I begin to eat, he gets up and cries. His nose is blocked and he is struggling to breathe. But the cold medicine has made him drowsy and his eyes are closed. I put the nose drops and put him in the bed...He stands on the bed and cries even while his eyes are closed. I made him sleep ...He lies tummy down and vomits. All over him,me , the bed, the pillow and the blanket. I remove his clothes and change it. while changing he is crying his lungs out. His eyes are still closed. I wash up and change myself,kavin and bedsheets..... Then he goes to sleep but opens his eyes as soon as I put him in the bed... So I lie down with him for a while. I just want to die. I am exhausted. But I still have some cleaning up to do. I come out of the room and eat my dinner. I wash the blanket, the clothes and hang them for drying. I told about my worst day to my friend on Phone and go to sleep around 12...Her maximum reaction is oh...ok...take rest as she is newly married..... now not getting sleep....Karthick is still not at home....

I have my own issues and problems.....

My son has Diwali vacation for 20 days...These are the things going to happen for the next 3 weeks...

1.I have to watch rhymes and rhymes only...
2.Maid has to come twice for cleaning the house...
3.Toys which are in good condition are going to become worst...
4.Poor cars has to lose at least one tyre..some helpless car will lose all four...
5.I have to tell no..no...no...more than 100 times a day...
6.I have to show some jazzy stuffs to near by kids so that they will come to play with my son..
7.I have to make lots of popcorn..
8.I have to rush my cooking,cleaning,eating,bathing too...
9.I have to sacrifice my iPad ...
10.Blogging...of course what is that? For the next three weeks....

PS : Eventhough how much he showed tantrums,mommy is always there for him.....

Lessons from my little man !!!!

A great lesson learnt today. Since there’s no baby cot,kavin sleeps on a thick mattress on the floor in Bangalore.... He falls down if he sleeps on the cot sometimes....But after we came to Mumbai,he used to sleep in cot itself.... I also close the door as I want him to sleep peacefully without any disturbance from the TV, calling bell or the phone.(The real reason being, I don’t want him to get up in one hour and get cranky and eat my head!) Usually he gets up and come to me...sometimes he cries and I go and pick him... I also check on him every 30 minutes.

My maid rang the calling bell after he slept.....he got a big disturbance and started crying.... Today I heard his cry and opened the door a little. He was sitting behind the door. I saw him in the mirror and did nt open the door anymore. He heard my voice and stood with his hands on the door and actually shut the door again. I did nt know what to do. He might fall down and hit his head on the floor if I opened the door with force. So I opened the door an inch and asked him to move away. Of course he did nt understand. I did nt know what to do then I called my maid....She came and held the door while I put my hand through the gap and tried to grab Kavin... He sat down and I pulled her with one hand. He fell sideward and cried as if it’s all my fault. Yeah, right!! My maid was narrating another story where a child locked the door from inside and started crying and how they had to break the door and enter. I hope Kavin never does anything like that. I don’t like breaking and entering.

PS : Everyday I am Facing some challenge situations from my son..........

Little thief !!!

Today morning I took a tomato from the bowl to make Gravy..... I found that some tomatoes were missing. Since I had bought a kilo of tomatoes only the previous day, it was easy to see that some were gone. Theres only one little thief in our house. Usually, it is onions and potatoes as they are in the open shelf.I used to keep tomatoes in fridge only..somehow I forgot and kept outside..... thief cannot reach the top shelf or so I thought! The enquiry started. Kavin where are the tomatoes?" He gives me an innocent look and runs to the hall. I follow him and see a tomato under the sofa. When I go and pick it up, the thief runs to the kitchen. I follow him and Surpised..yes the secret place is found. Behind the fridge! I retrieved almost half a kilo of tomatoes from there. I guess he was doing it from yesterday.......

PS : what he is planning to cook for me???....so punishment is only hugs and kisses......lol...

A short letter from my heart........

My dear son,

It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital, and now you are my little man. Your father and I were very nervous at the prospect of being first time parents. It did not strike us until you arrived - and then it hit us. I must say, your father took to being a dad pretty quickly; it was almost like he had been a dad all his life! But I was overwhelmed by this new responsibility. To care for this tiny life for the rest of my life! Was I ready for it?

It took a while for me to come to terms with the fact that I was a mother and was going to be one forever. But today after two and half years of looking back, I cannot help but smile. It is a feeling of fulfillment beyond words. Although I am still not sure if I am a great mother, I feel that I have done some justice to the role.

Every milestone of yours was a kind of personal victory for me. Your first smile, your first word, your first step.... I was just amazed and once again overwhelmed at what a little miracle you are.

As the years passed things started to get very challenging and sometimes I found myself in very difficult situations. The mess you made, the tantrums you threw, and the other millions of naughty things you did really stressed me out. I have taken over many of the decisions I had to make when it came to discipline. I have had many arguments with your dad. But in time we learnt to parent as a team. We still have our differences of opinion but have learnt to listen to each other.

The times I was affected the most was when you were sick, visits to the doctor for stitches,sleepless nights, antibiotics, shots......

Now I have learnt to take things in my stride and deal with them with a calm mind. The one thing that helped me tremendously through the toughest of times was your smile - that 1000 watts glow made me forget everything and realize it was all worth it.

Soon it was time for preschool. I prepared you as much as I could for that dreaded first day, but you cried so much and I sat down and cried with you.When the teacher took you from my hands,I almost collapsed....I am totally in mixed feelings.....I don't want u to go school from my heart...But sometimes we have to follow according to our mind....Today you start preschool, your first year of proper, all day, everyday school. I just want you to have a lot of fun, enjoy your school work, make good friends and most of all be a good human being....

We live our life in phases. When one ends, another begins. Change is constant and life is short. So capture the moment and live life to the fullest, have no regrets.

I have learnt so much from you and will continue to do so for the years to come. How to forgive, how to love unconditionally not expecting anything in return, how to be innocent, how to enjoy the small things in life, how to be carefree…. The list is endless.... Thank you! You have made my life worthwhile! God bless you!

Love u always,

Mom

2 minutes photographs....Rethink???

Tomorrow we are going to put my son into play group.......His first day of the school....I was checking his birth certificates and some supporting documents....the important thing is missing ...yes my son's passport and stamp size photos.....we were searching for the studio nearby areas....finally we got the one near station...okay we told the guy in the studio that we need urgently.....he talked in Marathi ...i can't understand single word.....I showed him simply we need 2 minutes photos ....He sent us inside of the studio....

My son almost danced inside..,he couldn't take one snap also without sake...then he started running....I stood beside camera man and started doing some funny faces...he started concentrating on me....yeah,,,he clicked my son in stationary mode.....wow...good snap...but my son showed all his 18 teeth fully...it looked odd in passport size and very very odd in stamp size....but the camera man urged us like great..superb...may be he can't run once again behind my son....

After 2 mintues we got the photos....I was really upset...the photo quality was not at all nice...he almost cut one third of his head portion...I just asked him...he simply replied like ' I made it in hurry'....the printer is also inkjet.....He didn't give stamp sizes too..he asked us to collect it tomorrow....i need that only urgently as I have to give for identity card......

I am little bit upset about the entire process....I told him to give good quality of passport size photos too by tomorrow evening.....here comes lessons learnt

Don't do any work in last minute ..
Enquire properly before u start ur process.....
Information is wealth......

PS: however we enjoyed my son's 2 mintues photos experience too....we sticked all his photos in his baby book....
