Happiness- My way

Note: This post is not about any place or some general topic, it’s just personal experience which is being shared with the audience

Now as a mother of a toddler boy I might have done million and zillion things in this world for the sake of putting just a single morsel of food in his mouth. Needless to say I have checked out all the available sites online to come out with various ways to feed him. But, looks like kids have this internal mechanism to somehow counterattack all our strategies and smoothly escape the spoon !  And if anything gets in their mouth.. spitting and puking works 100% , doesn’t it? Anyways won’t give you an insight of what all homework I do before I feed him cos all mothers have same story and all would-be mothers too have one, someday ;)

Now, daily I need to put this big list of my son’s favorite rhymes on youtube for him to finish food that too with same rhymes in all its versions!! Pheww!!! With him yelling and dancing and jumping and me struggling with typing, searching and feeding , it’s a super duper workout. So amidst all this chaos, what if the mother wants to have some fun too! I am a huge lover of music and love old hindi songs like crazy, so thought why not for a change do a little twist here and get what I want ;)

So now, Yankee Doodle was replaced by Maang ke saath tumhara(remember the horse beats there), Clap your hands was replaced with Ude jab jab julfen teri(so many claps in that song), Oh look at the moon was replaced by Woh chaand khila woh taare hasen (Twinkle twinkle little stars covered too ) ;), Row row row your boat replaced by Yeh chaand sa roshan chehra etc etc.. I somehow got a hang of relating it to his rhymes so well that I had a lovely roller coaster ride of B&W songs with Mohd Rafi and Asha Bhosale and the likes. And my son, he was so awestruck and excited that he finished eating in no time !

Ah ! We, the women of this century rock , don’t we? ;) In short find your space and happiness in any possible way.. just have your brains unlocked and opened every now and then !
