Yep, I love sharing my childhood memories with my kids. The same incidents too often as hubby pointed out quietly :). So, I was relating to them something about cold drinks. Of course, we did not have Coke or Pepsi back then. I was fondly recalling Campa Cola when my younger son asked me, “Mom, did you live in purana zamana (olden times)?” “What, of course not!” I said. “You did not have Coke and Pepsi, ” he said with a look of pity on his face. Imagine what he would have said if I told him about DD in detail. He would have characterized me a creature, born in the 70s, to be officially Stone Age!
And the younger one is finally taking on to reading! There is a series of books called Step into Reading! I have found them to be really wonderful with large font sizes and great pictures to get your child interested in reading. You can begin with the easier ones when your child is around 4. I personally have always loved this series. This is one joy I would love Gautam to know and enjoy as much as his brother and I have loved over the years.
On another note, Rachna Says, this blog, won the Indian Blogger Award (IBA) held by Indiblogger in the category Literature and Personal – Relationships! It felt really good to be recognized! Relationships are very important to me. And I love to share my experiences about them in my blog. Yes, it is rewarding that these posts touch a chord with my readers. And that they made an impression on the jury members too. But more than the award, I was overwhelmed with the love and affection of fellow bloggers. I was inundated with messages, tweets, FB messages, emails and phone calls of congratulations and pats on the back. Some of them were from people I had never interacted with earlier and did not know were aware of my blog or writing! Blogging still throws up surprises after all these years! It was truly heartwarming and touching! A big thank you to everyone! Especially to all of you, my spectacular readers!
