Dear Gautam, Only a month away from toddlerhood, you now weigh 9 kgs, and I do not know how many cms, but you're doing pretty well. You can walk now, even though we really have to coax you into taking those tiny little steps. You have also started climbing down beds and sofas, which means … Continue reading 11 months
10 months
Dear Gautam, 14 Sep, 2021 At 10 months, you weigh 8.790kgs and are at a height of 75cms. You have more than tripled your birth weight. Thank you for cooperating with me, nursing and eating so well. I would have been very worried otherwise. You have been standing up with support and cruising for the … Continue reading 10 months
Namrata Sundaresan
Hey everyone! Did I forget to mention that I signed up for a cheese making course with Namrata Sudaresan of Kase, Chennai? Apologies. So sometime in July, 2020, I signed up for a cheesemaking course with Namrata. We do this online and on a one-on-one basis. I set my phone up. Namrata patiently sits and … Continue reading Namrata Sundaresan
Dear Shimla,
A part of me is always with you. You must know that. I spent 10 years with you- and though the number may seem small now, these 10 years were the most important 10 years of my life. I remember yearning to leave you and going back to the plains, where the highways were broad … Continue reading Dear Shimla,
First Flight-First Mamma
My little boy is growing up so fast. Soon after the 7 month mark, he started standing up by himself with the support of furniture (and our legs) and today, he climbed up the staircase by himself. See! https://videopress.com/v/3LrM3bPr?preloadContent=metadata And here's another angle, just because I can't get enough: https://videopress.com/v/PPfThgTW?preloadContent=metadata Time and again I have … Continue reading First Flight-First Mamma
Halloumi
After having made a somewhat decent Mozzarella, I thought I would try my hand at another fresh cheese before I come back to Mozzarella. I wanted to do Feta because it's a fairly known cheese in India- the others being Cheddar, Gouda, Parmesan, all of which are ripened cheeses. As per the recipe I follow … Continue reading Halloumi
First ever Mozzarella
I left TLC Legal in December 2019, hoping to do some exciting things in the coming times. Covid struck in March 2020. I have been at home since March 2020. When Covid cases dipped in the winter of 2020-21, several friends and family travelled, took vacations. Masoom and I didn't because we had a teeny-tiny … Continue reading First ever Mozzarella
6 months
It's funny how time flies so slowly, and yet so fast during a lockdown. Gautam turned 6 months old on 14th May. It was a special day for us. He ate his first solid food, a banana! Rather a quarter of a teaspoon of it. He's been eating well since then. He's a good boy. … Continue reading 6 months
Say cheese!
The last few months have been about all things baby- baby this baby that, and this is how things will continue to be for a long long time. And I absolutely love it. Gautam is now a little over 5 months old, and it is time for me to take a look at and assess … Continue reading Say cheese!
Milestones
My baby turned 5 months old yesterday, and I realized i'm already late to begin recording his milestones. While Masoom and I have captured all important moments, we haven't compiled them in one place. Parents do all kinds of special things for their newborns- professional photoshoots, custom made clothes, monthly birthday celebrations. We haven't done … Continue reading Milestones
