Young sheldon

So those of you who are familiar with The Big Bang Theory (TBBT) must know the character Sheldon. Young Sheldon is a spin off. 

When I first started watching Young Sheldon some years back, I didn't like it. Then I started watching after a break... and this time found it interesting. I think it depends on what phase of life you are in, to enjoy / understand some things.

Some parts of the series is funny... but most of it puts me into deep thinking....

For example, Sheldon enters high school and is unable to understand that why some people don't follow the rules in the rule book. But the bigger problem is... when he complains about it, no one takes it seriously... He thinks it is the correct thing to follow the rule book. And those who don't follow it, have to be punished.... the pilot episode then unwinds, as he tries to fit in.

Many dialogues make you think ... how difficult things are in his perspective... and now, while watching TBBT, I am able to understand about why Sheldon is like that....

So what do you like watching?

Musings of motherhood

Am back to blogging after a really long break.... I don't even know if anyone is blogging anymore, with the number of insta reels and YouTube shorts... I guess many prefer videos to express their views... but I find this comfortable....

I have just begun the journey of being a parent... My kids are about 6 years old and why do I say that I have just begun the journey ... why??? 

Now that kids are growing up and forming their personalities , I am able to understand that there is so much to learn .... and unlearn. Not just about kids ... about me...

So now I will be sharing my thoughts about how much I am changing and understanding myself and the world better... If you have reached till here, well, good luck and fasten your seat belts!!

I had a long journey waiting for kids...  almost 10 years. The phase that I was waiting for ... the cuddly, cute, singing lullabies phase got over about a 2 years back... my kids were about 4 years old when we were in their nighttime routine and I was singing some lullaby (which I thought was their favorite) and my daughter told me... "Amma, please don't sing. I want to sleep."

I had a mixed reaction to that. 
1. Shock... what!!????!!!
2. Happy... that my daughter is able to tell me what she wants
3. Sad... have I been torturing this poor soul with my songs all these years???

I remember this incident as it shook my beliefs on many levels... and also, I started to observe my kids and their opinions and realized so many things which I thought were important, were not... so many things which I thought were good, were not... in fact, what is good and bad... 

More in the next blog !!! Bye for now 😁
