Back as a mom!

Posted on by Archana K B / 0 Comment

First post as a mom! Woohoo..!

I could find so many mommy blogs, who blog from day one, recalling all their experiences of the day and the D-day, and what not. I wonder where do they get time for all these. My li’l one, N is now 9 months, and still I could find barely enough time to write this post in a hurry. Just to keep the blog alive. And to remind myself that I could find time for myself..

But if I start writing on mommy things, this would turn out to be a mommy blog which I don’t want to. Rather I consider this as my personal blog, which could contain these kind of posts too, but along with it, I feel it should contain some techie things which I browse, the new mobile which I am using, or other philosophical and innermost thoughts, my conflicts on whether to join job or not, my new found interests in home decor and my new home etc etc.. Hmmm..

Meanwhile checkout other mommy blogs, I found recently. Not the popular ones, but good blogs of mothers who shared their day-to-day life as mom, but which may not have comments, and some of which may not have been updated recently…

The New Life

Posted on by Archana K B / 2 Comments

Just few more weeks to go….

Though the oncoming responsibility is nearing the shore to put down its anchor, for me, it still seems to be on the horizon. The realization will dawn over the time, I suppose, just like in the process of marriage…

Every month, on reading the fetal development facts online or from magazines, I am amazed at the marvelous project called human being created or formed by the Unknown. I presume, this complexity maybe far far higher than that from other organisms. Continue reading →

Long time!

Posted on by Archana K B / 0 Comment

Yes its been long time. When I started this blog, I never had plans to update it daily. It was just a medium to vent out my ramblings. I never bothered about the frequency of the posts, or the topics I plan to write about etc. And because of the same, i got many ‘suggestions’ from the readers, that the writing could be more better, etc etc. I guess, at some point I fell into the trap of money-making business through blogs. And so, after a surge in the readership, page views, ad clicks, irrelevant topics, and river of processed and hand-picked words, this blog saw the downside of it all. It remained silent… Continue reading →

One click…

Posted on by Archana K B / 0 Comment

One click.

A child receiving his wages from the master,
The happiness of having a whole meal,
The satisfaction of having notes of money,
The responsibility for himself and family, if any,
The independence, the loneliness,
And the innocence…
One click reveals it all…

One click.

Anxious passengers waiting for bus,
The plight of the people and the bus stop,
The hope of reaching their destination,
Prayers for time and life to stop ticking,
The joy of freed school children,
And the exhausted old grandma…
One click reveals it all…

One click.

The adventures of train travel,
The immense length of the train,
The location and appearance of people,
Meetings and good-byes at the same time,
The pleasure of vacation start,
And the tears of separation…
One click reveals it all…

Home Decor Fetish

Posted on by Archana K B / 6 Comments

Wanna know why I have been busy and not posting any blog posts off late? Well, there are many reasons, but for now, the fetish of home decor has creeped onto me. Maybe, being a house wife and being at home, initiated this in my mind. I do try to minimize the expenditure due to this newly found interests, though sometimes it goes out of hand.

There was a time, when I used to cringe at a book or magazine if it cost more than Rs.20. Now I am buying occasionally magazines of Rs.100 just to look at the style pictures and drool over it. One thing I realized is, there is no such home decor magazine meant for middle class people. Most of the cover story deals with highly priced luxury items, which makes us think that home decor is expensive, while I believe its contrary. The creative ideas, and simple ways of rearranging, and making re-use of old items are mostly inexpensive. Then, as usual, I latched onto the greatest resource of all. The internet. The innumerous blogs by interior decorators, or designers, or photographers, created just by passion gives a whole lot of ideas than those highly priced books.Continue reading →
