What language do you wish you could speak? Oh I would love to be multilingual. Is there any specific language? No there is not. I feel learning any new language is good for the brain. In fact on one Bloganuary question I did mention about my younger one not able to speak his mother tongue.…

Prompt for today: How do you show love? My younger one calls me The Meany Mom. Yes, I show tough love. He loves that. So on days he is being pampered by me, he knows I am not in a great mood and I am going easy. When he was little, he had a hard…

Do you have a memory linked to a smell? I always think about this when I visit Target. This was the first store I visited when I landed in this country. I picked up Tide and did my first laundry at our apartment. So the sight of Target and smell of Tide together brings in…

What chore do you find the most challenging to do? Bloganuary took an about turn today with a simple prompt. From a vague prompt to a simple question. More than writing for the prompt, I have started enjoying reading other people’s take on the prompt. I can do this while my boy rides his bike or…

What is a treasure that’s been lost? I have lost so many material things in my life. All those can be retrieved. When I had my younger one, we watched him like a hawk to see his growth milestones. He was a bit delayed in language and he was just picking up English. He never…

The past 24 hours have been cold. Let me say cold is an understatement and if you have seen on news about the cold weather in North America, it is completely true. But we were lucky that we did not have more than an inch of snow, but what fell down got completely stuck giving…

For Cee’s Flower of the Day, a bit of throwback memory. I purchased these impatiens on a sale along with my special one many years ago. My boy who was still in school helped me carry the plants and the soil. When he was in school I planted these impatiens and all summer long these…

I renewed my wordpress membership today. I made my husband do it for me. I could have done it on my own but I wanted him to be part of what I am doing. I have a paid subscription and I wanted him to support me and I am glad he did that. I know…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “on your/myplate.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun! My autistic son was 7 when I had my second kid. As soon as my parents left for India after helping me for nearly four months, I was left alone with a severely autistic kid, a…

The day began with my friend sharing a picture of her in front of my school. I had to travel back in memory as I remembered my school days. More than thirty years since I graduated High School and yet it looks like yesterday I was walking to school with my friends. Then I got…

The day began a bit dull and depressed. My husband told me not to throw myself a pity party. I may blame it on the weather but it may not be the only reason. I am a bit tired physically (even my husband) as my boy is a bit off. By the end of the…

I must confess, I am no Bibliopole but I do have a lot of books. It is sad the era of physical books is coming to an end and online reading is catching up. A fact to be accepted. For Sammi’s weekend prompt: Bibliopole : a person who buys and sells books, especially rare ones.…
