Facts about childhood series! Intro post

This series will have post relating to child development. I have gained knowledge about this subject during my Masters and will love to share the same with you all. I have understood the importance of these little thing while taking care of my own kid. At times we need to be tactful, patient and creative with children. i will be posting some tips in this series so that motherhood becomes beautiful experience and sails smoothly.

On that note, the first and most important tip is love your children and give them time they deserve. There is no toy which she wants more than your time and there is no one else who can substitute mother's presence.

Love you all !

Be Healthy while you work the Google way ! Must try!

Hi Friends,

I got to know about a very innovative technology by Google which can help us to be fit while sending mails or preparing documents. Now I can miss my gym and exercise while working. It senses my movements, understands it, convert them to commands like compose mails, new mails, delete etc and executes them real time. I have tried it.

This is what i call a healthy technology. Must try !

Time to party.

Gosh I cant wait for India Pakistan Match on wednesday. !

Oh what an excitement !

Full country is becoming excessively crazy. I mean, it's coming out to be such a high profile match. Prime-Minister of India, Prime Minister of Pakistan , President of India, People from film industry, and more thousands and thousands of big small people. What a spectacle it is going to be.

I am sure there will be lot of pressure on both the teams. I just hope people enjoy the game in true spirit and not get excited in terms of burning buses, posters etc. I am going to get hooked to my lovely bravia for sure. I don't know which team will win, but I wish that match should be close .

Oh I am so exited about Tendulkar and Shewag perform. I dont want to miss even one ball which Zaheer throws. I dont want to miss even advertisements of this match.

Waiting for tomorrow. While I will be watching TV, I know what u will be doing. You will also be following match for sure, the best way u can. Lets cheer together. India ! India !.

Quick homemade chuski !

With this sun scratching heat in the city and ever rising temperature urge for eating chuski is just so irresistible. Quick solution is to fill in your ice tray with cold-drink or roohafza and just freeze it. To eat it easily just put a toothpick in every cube case while filling liquid. After some time hold it with toothpick and eat little bits of icy pleasure. These days you can get chuski trays in market as well. these are rubber trays with stick in it. I got one from The 99 store for Rupees 99. Chssssssssssss.ummmah

Will post the pic soon.

Value of play in your child's life !

Albert Eisenstein once said "Play is the highest form of research.".
However in today's world play means playing video games, computers, PSP and play station. When two kids discuss amongst themselves about playing cricket , there are chances that discussions about online EA cricket challenge. Being up with technology is good and you need to keep your kids abreast with latest trends but it should not be at the sake of health.
Outdoor play is critical for child's development. It makes them energetic, imaginative and immune. Playing with friends in person (not virtually) increases interactive skills and helps to develop social networking skills(offline :p).

Your kid is a energy reservoir and the potential energy needs to be channelized  in way that the there is all round development . I am sure you don't want that your kid only exercises his fingers while straining his eyes. He needs to run in fresh air, jump, puddle in rain water, hop on swings and fall from them to develop fully.

One more disadvantage with digital play is exposure to violence and adult content. games like GTA, WWE etc. do more harm that good. We need to be sensitive about their health . After all we don't want to gift our children specs instead of  goggles. I will rather provide him with glucose, when he falls while playing outdoor, than giving him glucose as he was not able to develop immunity and caught some severe illness.

W should not rob our kids of the fun and opportunities that come with outdoor world. Let's go out and play should be your mantra so that you see your kid growing not because of supplements but as as result of just play !

Shopping , eating and fun for kids ! All at one place.

After playing Holi, I went to a place with my kid(i will reveal the name of place at end, if u r curious start reading from end)

We were welcomed by huge parking space from where we headed towards the rides section.There were Rides for my 1.5 years son (animal safari), fire brigade, water bubble, cartoon network station and more. The entry was free.Rides are safe and well maintained. I enjoyed water bubble (Rs 100 /head) a lot.



Once done with the rides we headed to grab something to eat. My  son ate chuski from a counter in adventure island.I chose to grab some veggies from water side food court. Food was good. Other food options like pizza hut,KFC, Mc D, fast trax, moti mahal, yo china Pind Baluchi and a few more were also available.

Once we were full we went to my favorite zone. Shopping !!!
If you are looking for something to gift to your man. This place is good to be at. A lot of men garment stores. For myself I landed up ion Biba. There are few other good options available too. You can shop for shoes, clothes and yes there are a few stores like g&j,Girls Forever, Play and pets, lilliput etc for your lill ones too. this 2 leveled open shopping area serves the purpose for all.

At the end of shopping area you can spot treasure for your kids.  A little pricey but good entertainment package for children and adults alike. On first floor,( above black and koutons showroom) there is a zone where you have four options to get entertained.
1.bhoot bangla -Not very scary but good for its value
2.kaleidoscope - Something not very common. If you cant handle rotating things avoid this one.
3.4-D movie - nice movie with 3d effects and shaking seats. Loved this one the most.
4. Mirror maze-great fun searching my way through mirrors. (Special hint:You can click a nice pic when the light is red. )

It was not over yet as we saw a gaming zone while heading back to exit. My son ran to it and I had to follow. it was video game zone with arcade games, ice hockey, and sketching cabin.

It was already late before we could return and we planned to have dinner there itself. But it was bit early for dinner and we were tired (except for my son who had enough stamina to get a ride on merry go round on water side. To my relief he was underage for it).
Next we went to waterside dock and enjoyed a band playing guitar very smoothly and romantically. Loved it.

Right opposite to it was Disney rides section and u can guess rightly that my son had good time there.

Last thing we did was. To have dinner. We chose the closest option and reliable option Moti Mahal (one on the left of dock).As expected food was good and worth it.

Finally the ended with lotsa shopping for everyone, good food and smiling kid.
Happy.

Am i missing something. Oh ya, name of the place. It was adventure island/ Metro walk, Rohini. I wonder why these people don't have any website. The best way to reach here is by metro, if it suits you. Get down at Rithala station and walk to it.
For  more information, post a comment here and I will try to help you with it.

My verdict. Adventure island/ metro walk rocks. 4 out of 5 rating.(one deducted for they dont have plenty of shopping options for women.)

Love yo all. .
