Mum’s Day Out

After becoming a mum, I’ve realised how essential it is to take some time for myself. Stepping away now and then helps me recharge and return to my kids as a more present and patient mum.

I usually catch up with my girlfriends, and it’s always such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. This time, we went out for dinner at Tibetan Nepalese Restaurant in Harris Park. We made the most of the evening, filled with good food, laughter, and live music.

The night kicked off with some refreshing drinks, followed by goat and buffalo sekuwa—both packed with flavour—and a delicious paprika chaat and Chatpates. I also tried fulka for the first time, and it was quite an interesting addition to the spread!

For mains, we indulged in chops and momos. The jhol momos were okay, but the Tibetan momos completely stole the spotlight—absolutely delightful! To top it off, we ended the night with some freshly made, crispy jalebi from a famous spot nearby. It was definitely worth the stop!

These outings are a perfect way to unwind and reconnect, both with friends and myself. They leave me feeling refreshed and ready to dive back into the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

How do you spend your “me time” away from the kids? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Chhora’s 5th birthday celebration

We celebrated Chhora’s birthday with a few friends and family over the weekend. He was super excited because he got the Power Ranger decorations he had wished for. Kids are so easy to please, and the smile and excitement on his face made everything we did worth it.

The day started early, with us running around to prepare for the party. We had nuggets, fruits, chips, and fairy bread for the kids, and biryani with raita, salad, cheese and crackers, chips, and dips for the adults.

The house was filled with the delicious aroma of food and the vibrant colors of Power Ranger decorations.
Chhora loved all the attention and had an amazing time with his friends. We played fun games like charades, running with balloons, and had a piñata. The laughter and joy that filled the air were contagious.

The highlight of the day was cutting the homemade Power Ranger cake. Chhora’s eyes lit up as he saw the cake, and his excitement was absolutely heartwarming. Watching him blow out the candles while everyone sang “Happy Birthday” was a precious moment.

Seeing Chhora so happy and enjoying every minute of his special day made all the effort and planning worthwhile. It was a fantastic day filled with laughter, joy, and wonderful memories.

Do you celebrate your kids’ birthdays with a theme? If so, what themes have you tried?

Chhora said !!!

So, the other day, Chhora asked me how old he would be tomorrow. I said, “Four.” Then he asked, “What about the day after tomorrow?” Again, I said, “Four.” He was relentless—”What about next week?” I replied, “Still four, until June 14.”

He was visibly upset, wondering why he’s always four years old and not five like his friends. This led to a mini tantrum about the unfairness of being perpetually four.

It reminded me of a similar conversation I had with Chhori when she was his age. She too went through this phase of wanting to grow up as quickly as possible, and it made me realize that all kids seem to go through this at some point.

Isn’t it funny how kids are in such a hurry to grow up? They don’t understand that we parents would sometimes love to pause time and keep them small for just a little longer.

Have you ever experienced this with your little ones, them wanting to grow up so fast? How do you handle it? I’d love to hear your stories!
