Below are the set of neighbors on wings 

Wanted to write a post of it in detail, but due to shortage of time, just provided a collage of the birds.

PreKG admission in chennai schools

Four years back , I had posted about LKG admission in chennai schools . Now it is PreKG admission everywhere instead of LKG.

Most of the schools have started their own PreKG and we have chance to reserve our seats in their schools for LKG. Some of the schools do not call for LKG admission saying it is closed as it will be filled internally in the alumni and sibling quota.

We can not sit and relax once you get PreKG admission in schools. It does not guarantee LKG admission. LKG admission process has to be followed and your kid should be performing well in the PreKG. Yes. Your three year old should be able to tell her/his name , parents and sibling name, school name, tell some rhymes, identify basic colors, vegetables , fruits, alphabets etc and should be able to hold a crayon pencil and do coloring.

When it comes to school admission in some of the BIG reputed schools, people say that application form alone is not enough and we need to have additional form, i.e some VIP's recommendation letter, Or some source where you can approach the school and block your seat with big donation. If you do not have letter and don't prefer to go for second option, then you have to depend on luck, as some open seats are selected by lot from the huge set of applications.

You have lot of options open for the first kid, where as your choice will be just one for the second kid as most of parents want to put their kids in same school.

Just a note...

Twenty four hours a day is just not enough for me, being a working mom with two kids.


One would say, with all the electrical and electronic gadgets @home things are quiet easy. Still I had to do parallel tasks most of time, so that I get sufficient time for spending time with family and have buffer time for unplanned events that fall in and to have personal time for myself too...


Of course, I can cut off an hour sleep to get the sufficient time, which I can not do , for the following reasons.


1. I am late to bed and because of that I can't afford to wake up early morning.
2. I don't get continuous six hours sleep having an infant and preschooler at home.
3. Last but not the least, I enjoy to sleep and relax.


There are many ways we can effectively save time in our daily chores, be it cooking or cleaning or shopping or working or reading or .. lot of or's with the tasks. Still I am quiet busy these days....

coming to the point.. having been busy at home and office, no time to scribble here..

I'm back!!!

Yippee!!! I'm back after a break.

A pregnant colleague of mine had told that, if she gets chance to talk to God, she will request that, Men should also undergo the process of pregnancy like women.

I was on my maternity leave that time. Oh my God! what happened to her? Women should be happy and proud that they blessed with this ability.

Men can only reach a place of becoming an obstetrician and perform the delivery of a women.

In a movie, comedy actor vivek said, ladies are telling they are pregnant and getting privileges, however there are men , who live with big tummy till their life time.
Big tummy for decade does not make any sense, when compared to a live fetus at womb for a week. It was not a joke actually.

As far as I know, Only male seahorse is blessed to have the gestation of 2 to 6 weeks in its pouch and hatch the eggs.

A sudden thought came to my mind. Would men be ready to undergo the process for 40 weeks like women do? Not at all. May be, few want to try just to explore how it would be and few might be ready to take, if they get good salary package for the 280 days job. (good joke?)

Men are designed to sweat.. they are capable of doing hard things. They cant afford to do tender job. Why to request God for a role change or perform dual role ?

Dhanesh got promoted...

Our little Dhanesh got promoted ten days back.... yes... he became elder brother to the new arrival in the family.

Though majority of us were expecting a princess this time, God satisfied the wish of little Dhanesh and his little Aunt's wish that new one should be a prince..

My name changed - Off the record

People generally do not change the birth name after they are grown up. A few change their name of course..

In past generation , there had been a custom for female to change the initial to husband's name from the father's...This had no problem while using in non official documents.
The problem comes in, if the female is a working professional as it involves changing name in all records and carrying necessary proof of changed name..

Few, in this generation also wish to change the initial after marriage. I am blessed that I did not undergo such complicated process of changing my initial (credit goes to my best half here, who suggested I keep the name as it is)

However, my full name has changed recently. It is not just initial change. Well, change is only off the record..

I am being called and addressed as "Dhanesh amma...". Yes . I am mother of Dhanesh and I am called referring his name by neighbours and his play school teachers. I doubt if they knew my birth name.

I have started this blog today with my new name and i'll be addressed as Dhanesh amma where ever i go........
