Siddharth the designer!!

From the puzzle making Siddharth has moved to making organized patterns… I am not sure whether he inheriting this from me or his own innovations…
This animal kingdom he made, year ago…

One afternoon he made this design when no one was around him. His understanding of sequence, symmetry was incredible.. I was feeling proud of him.. The best thing, this is complete his innovation no influence from me… All these designs he mkaes on his own.. The way he put his concentration is remarkable... I asked Siddhrth what is this design he said aeroplane.. how is this an aeroplane.. Block se is his answer...



Today morning he presented another design from his blocks, i am amazed by his innovation…

Find a way or Make a way!


I bought an activity book for Siddharth along with so many other plane, fun with words on my few days back visit to the bangalore from Blossom Book store. The concept of the book is very neat. It contains the activity like find a way, colours, count big small objects…
I remember in our times, getting these kinds of books was so tough. I use to get only one or two it’s kind of puzzles in Comic Champak..

Siddharth was amazing in understanding the concept in a minute and making the way for the caterpillar to reach to the leaf.
Today morning he came to me and asked me Mamma there is no way for the Auntie to reach to the house can u find, I was surprised and actually there was no way for the Auntie to reach to the house the puzzle was printed wrong..
I just made one line out the puzzle and showed him, since the auntie is old so she cannot go in a zig zag manner let her go in the simple way…

It reminded me of solving the puzzle for getting the death by chocolate ice cream for Vivek from Corner House Bangalore.
I went to the shop and asked him about taking the ice cream to Delhi, he refused and said it can only stay for half an hour.

I was in a no mood to leave it, so got the understanding from him how do they make it. What are the ingredients he explained me there is a cake, chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. Then I requested him can you give me cake and sauce separate and leave the vanilla part the rest all are your specialty and ice cream is the part which will melt and spoil the whole thing. By taking things separate i can prepare DBC complete at home.
And we finally enjoyed DBC after making the way for the caterpillar to eat leaf…


I have learned from Siddharth or he has learned from me... is still a puzzle to solve...

Back to Work!!

I am back to work since one weak.. and I am so busy that could not get time to even write about it..

It was difficult for Siddharth to adjust again to the fact that Mummy is working.. Hats off to him he is so mature.. I explained him baby mamma is going to work now, mamma will earn some money for your toys, puzzles and many more things you want.. And mamma wants to work because the way I love to be with you the same way I love to work.. .. He said ok.. Now everyday he asks me money earn ho Gaya do mujhe…

I joined a company manufactures food ingredients. My role is into business development.

The day is exciting, challenging, thrilling and enjoyable.. starts with playing a puzzle with Siddharth in his classroom to going back and picking him from the day care.

Last one week was hectic in terms of understanding the business, the great thing is I have two people reporting to me.. I was amazed at myself the way i have handled these two people beautifully in the last one week.

They say... You cannot learn swimming by sitting on the bank of the river…it has come so true for me… I have come to know so many other positive things about me by joining this job…

I am sure it will be setting another milestone in my professional life…
