Why start a blog?

When I had my first son ( hardly one year into the marriage!) I had to make a major decision. My choices;
a) Pursue my career, apply for a residency, get a full time nanny
b) Take over the role of motherhood fully and postpone my career for a few years.

Being the dutiful kind, I picked option b! Better known as 'Stay at Home Mom'! :)

But I overlooked a few things:
a) Pregnancy is not a good time to be making such decisions!! Remember the hormones!!!!!!!!!
b) With every subsequent baby, add few more years to the postponement!
c) The economy boom isn't gonna last for ever
d) Lastly but not the least, kids won't go anywhere for a looooooong time! Motherhood is a lifelong job, the job requirements will change but the title won't change!

Just like any other employment, this job has its ups and lows. It requires diligence(lack thereof can have serious consequences), commitment(not really a choice), patience (lots of it), balance(or something like it), courage(based on Asian proverb: Jo dar gaya so mar gaya! One who fears, is one who dies!), perseverance(yes and sound like a broken record!),and of course total emotional control(who am I fooling!!! Doesn't exist!).

Well three sons and a dozen years into it, I have decided to share my mix of joys, heartaches, stresses, successes, disappointments, nightmares and struggles of motherhood with every devoted parent out there.......
And do share your experiences and advice, I am always in need of new cool ideas! :)
