I really really wish a fairy would come, run her magic wand and get Dhriti to stop being so stubborn....
Every time there is a certain phase with this girl...a phase that is traumatic when she was sick most of the times...down with fever and I was in the constant peril not knowing what to do and getting very panicky....the phase where we went to the hospital and got her admitted for almost 3 times in 6 months...the phase when she was fairly good with her health...the phase she started conversing and becoming more mature over-night.....the phase where she started growing-up....
some of them looked "impossible"...but after a couple of days that tension would just go "puffffff..." and she would become her good old self....that adorable...loving...highly energetic and great-to-have kid that she really is......
I just hope that whatever phase it is now...would also vanish into thin air and never...ever re-surface again....
I wish there was a fairy...a god-mother who could help me with this unpredictable, highly demanding kid...
Since that sounds too far-fetched and impossible...
I just wish I could stop yelling and screaming at her and be more patient....
I know like everything else this will also fade-away someday....but still can some fairy intervene and help me pleasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Caught somewhere...inbetween
....thats how I would visualise my generation...
was blog hopping and found this interesting note about being proud of the generation we are from...couldn't agree better...
Yes, we (as in the current 25-35 year olds) are somewhere in between...we are not as othrodox or "playing it safe" generation that is a decade older...and neither are we irresponsible and immature generation that is a decade younger...
So many good and changing attitudes to our credit...maybe this is taking it a bit too far...but some things I've observed in common with most of my friends in this age group are...
We tend to enjoy our lives...yeah we (atleast most of them) also look at investing money,savings etc but it is not very uncommon to go on vacations, take a break, travel and have a good outing..
We tend to earn more and again most of us either donate or have an urge to donate....
Most of us tend to come from middle-class to higher middle class families (that are not affluently rich) and hence appreciate the value of money (and spending it right) and have values (whatever they are!)
And those who have kids (again most of them) ensure that they spend lavishly on their kids, see that they dont lack anything but still think twice about enrolling them in "International Schools"
Its the scare of kids having a totally different mind-set and values...
We don't cringe to eat at Dhabas, road-side pani puris, we still love them and have the "enthu" still within us to stop a car beside a road-side shop and enjoy a bite
How much ever we might be busy and all that, we still believe in "movies" being the number one source of entertainment!
And somehow we are more open with our life partner and show that. That equality is surely here to stay, we share the work load at home...but then when parents or in-laws are visiting, we get very "insecure" about the whole "equality theory" :)
Most importantly, I think we will always be young at heart, no longer old and aunt-types if you are 30+
I guess everyone has something to brag about!!
But somewhere some things have to change, we need to become more friendly, more open, have more time for friends. We are almost there......!!
