Looks like an angel, no?

Who does your baby look like? That is without doubt, the toughest question you can answer. Since neither of us actually remembers what we looked like at 3 months, both the wife and I are completely reliant on people's judgment. My mom says she looks like what my brother did. My grandmother says she looks like me. Yasmin also says she looks like me, but has a qualifier that since she doesn't know what D looked like as a kid, hence she looks like me. Anarkali says "kaise aunty jaise dikhti hai, nahi??" Someone says she looks like Kavya, some say she's like D did when she was a kid.. I think all babies, like all Chinese, look alike..

Hope and a prayer

The radio today had a scary piece.. There was a piece on role models in society... And the laundry list started.. Some said Dhoni, some others Shah Rukh Khan.. Obviously, Sachin Tendulkar too was there, as was Deepika Padukone (don't ask me.. Ask the girl who said she thought Deepika was a role model).. Some who considered themselves "enlightened" actually had Barak Obama as well.. It went on for about 20 minutes by which time I got home.. Interestingly, none of the callers thought of any Indian leader as a role model.. But that's not what scared me (which is why it is on this blog.. ) How come none of the callers thought of considering their parents as role models??

Dr. Spock speaks crock!!

Maybe she's hungry.. Maybe she's cold.. Maybe she's warm.. Maybe she's just wanting to be held.. Maybe she's gonna pee.. Maybe potty.. Is she having a fever?? Maybe she's just sleepy.. Maybe she's not sleepy at all.. Maybe a mosquito bite IN THE END, IT'S JUST A GUESS!!!
