Of Blogging!
Walking by the park and seeing an utterly delicious looking dad with a camera and clicking away pictures of his cute lil toddler from every corner of the playground, and the first thought which comes to mind is "Must be a daddy blogger!!!!"
Wanting to be caustic to the boys, but garnering admirable patience and coaxing the mouth to utter a friendly warning...'cos that's what responsible mothers do, even though my teeth have whittled away with all that gritting.
Realising that since blogging, spoken english has risen several notches on the "sound good ' scale and dipped alarmingly on the "understandability' scale, especially when spoken to the boys. From now, a simple "get your behind on the chair and finish your work" hollered in just the right tone will suffice instead of "you must try ..yadayadayada..." The first sign came many months back when the then 10 yrold and his father just gaped at me, after listening to a long passioned speech on self motivation!
Listening for the nth time, a neighbor's advice on how to feed my boys, and thinking, she must be a troll in her virtual avatar!
Looking at my blog and thinking it needs a makeover...again and scouting for new pictures even if the readers don't notice. (*this is the point where you are allowed to roll your eyes!)
Trying hard to ignore Google Reader which indicates that you have x no of blogs to be read, losing the battle and then subscribing to more blogs...
Being able to connect with others on the same virtual wavelength and actually have a wonderful time...
Being able to instantly share a touching video...(it's been making waves here in Singapore). Do watch it, and keep a tissue or handkerchief nearby
Find the beauty in your moments, even the imperfect ones and enjoy yourself, you never know how long it will last!
On that profound note, i do wish you a great weekend!

really nice video!!:)...so touching!!..
That was one of the most touching videos that i have seen in a long while.
And here i was. Friday evening. With a mood downswing. And arguments blazing.
And i am now thinking, its ok. This is the way it will be. Imperfection, warts and all.
This is life. And it is here that we find love, happiness and smiles too.
Thanks for sharing this. You made a difference !
just watched the video - brought a few tears to my eyes and I forgot about all the wiseass comments I was going to leave here. It reminded me of Robin Williams reminiscing about his wife in Good Will Hunting - have you seen that movie?

One of teh reasons i like your blog is that you take teh mundane/ordinary and make the readers see some meaning in it all...
and the video makes you forget about all those irritants and love life as it is, beautifully imperfect!
