How we think before and after becoming a Mother..

After we become mother, our thought process changes a lot. You agree? Along with waistlines, sleep patterns and patience level, the biggest thing that changes in ourselves, is our Minds. Now what we eat, what we do and what we say, depend upon our mother side to a great extent.
Here are some of the examples that show how a common woman thinks before and after having kids :
  • While shopping cloths:
    Before : I need this dress in light color. This will go best with my nude shoes. The size looks perfect for me. 
    After : I need this dress in Black. And it would have been good if this has option of elastic waist. I need to try it,I am not sure what's my size these days.
    • Inside a footwear shop:
    Before : Oh beautiful! I need those wedges. I would also buy those pencil heels. I would look slimmer in these.
    After : This store really has a bad collection of flip-flops. And they don't have colors in flats. Who buys those 4 inches in multi-color?
    • Finding a strange substance over bath towel:
    Before : This must be make-up. But I should not use it.
    After : Is that poo? Vomit? Permanent marker? For now I would use the other side of it, that looks clean.
    • Hearing a baby crying in public:

      Before : What type of mother she is? She can't calm down her baby !
      After : Poor mother!
      • Seeing a toddler wailing in a toy shop
      Before : Parents should teach kids how to behave in public area.
      After : Thank goodness it's not me!
        • In a dinner party:
      Before : I love salads. You know it's healthy and fresh. 
      After : God I am so hungry, when this dinner will start ? Till then let me finish this mac and cheese from my son's plate.
      • Call for a kitty :
      Before : It would be fun to go . "Sure I would love to come!"
      After : Hmm.. I don't have any good fit dress. And it would take almost an hour to dress up kids and their diaper bags. "Let's see If I can come."
      • Planning a family outing :
      Before : Let's go to that xyz restaurant. The ambiance is so romantic there.  
      After : Mac'D would be best. We'll have any xyz burger. And if you still feel hungry, I'll cook khichdi back home. 
      • About motherhood:
      Before : I have heard it's hard. But I don't think it's THAT hard.
      After : It's hard and even harder. People say it would get better with time but I don't think it'll get easier. 
      Still we all love being a Mother, isn't it?

      My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

      As we entered 2020, through this post I am trying to contemplate the coolest, most daring, and most significant feats of my life during the last decade. Now the more I regress my memory, the more I feel there are two types of achievements or accomplishments that I can ponder upon; Visible and Invisible. Visible ones are those that I can count on my finger like a parrot and others can nod also. I got specs on, married to a not-so-romantic man, produced a baby, started writing and added good 17 kgs in my body volume (I was 50 in 2011). However, there are many invisible accomplishments too that either I know silently or very few can assert. From 2011 to 2019, Who am I now From a coy soul to now an outspoken woman, the trek was not easy. I achieved it. From being a no-makeup girl to now a lipstick swatches observer, the transition was tough. But it happened. And from being a sweet hater to now a sweet lover, the change was mysterious yet occurred. And now I can die for Gulab Jamuns....

      #MyFriendAlexa - Is Your Blog For Everyone?

      A Bit of Introduction  Two months back, I joined a new company as a software project manager. And with this, I also shifted to a new city. I could not write much during this shifting time, as there were many other things that needed my attention on priority. With a new job, new city and a new house, I faced challenges of finding a new school for my kid, a new market where I can buy staple items and a new setup for my family which was in habit of living a comfortable life in Delhi. #MyFriendAlexa I took as an opportunity to proffer life back to my blog which was the most neglected entity of my world during this movement and adjustment span. My target is to write 8 posts for #MyFriendAlexa campaign in which 4 will make you a bit more compassionate person, and remaining 4 will make you more informed. The First Post Of #MyFriendAlexa  Coming back to the title of this post, I know you might be awed to read it. Of course, there is no discrimination who can read the blog...

      A Letter to Teen Me - Passing wisdom about Motherhood

      Dear Teen me, I know you have many dreams and aspiration for your future life. I very well understand the hard work that you are putting in for a bright career. I do admire your sense of identity and individualness. You are going great. However, there are few others things, about which I want to make you prepare well ahead.  Life is more than making your own path, especially when you are a woman. God has made women with additional responsibility for running this universe. You know which responsibility? It’s "Motherhood". I know that as of now you don’t have much understanding of this whole motherhood phase and what is being a Mother oneself. But, you see, you will be a Mother one day. And when you are a mother, you carry many other responsibilities on your shoulders other than just living for yourself. You are seeing Amma every day but that is the only single sided view of big Motherhood world. A mother lives for her child also. She lives for the dreams of her kids an...
