Round to Curves - Prologue

Curvy from Round. This is what I want to be.

I wanted to start this post with a beautiful quote from the net. There are so many wonderful Quotes on the net, funny ones, motivating ones. Too many to choose from. 'Motivating' reminds me of S, if I wait for him at home, he says, 'Motivating (moti-waiting) for me.' Moti in Hindi means Fatty. I have been the butt of all jokes at home, forever now. Not complaining. Just a fact. I crack jokes at myself. High time for me to put an end to all this.

A little history... I have had many stints at these fitness programs in the past. None of them stayed long enough. When I am on these freak fitness programs, I see results. Reason being, I work out hard, resist to temptations and eat healthy. When I have almost reached my goal, I tend to let myself go free and right then I start gaining weight. This time, I have let myself free for the longest time in my history. And that is the reason for me to be my fattest. But not anymore.

The Program
140 days (20 week) program to reduce weight with a goal to reduce 10 kilos of weight which is very unrealistic for me being me. So rewriting the goal


100 days

Healthy Food
Daily Exercise
Regular Monitor (weight, food, exercise, cheats)
Blog Post


Skin & Hair Care (ancillary)

Finally - make this a lifestyle and not a stint.

I am not a feminist!

I am not a feminist!!!! I am a daughter, I am a sister, I am a wife, I am a mother, I am a woman with career. I don't want to be treated like a son, I don't want to be a father to my child. I don't want reservations. I don't want equality with men. I can't do so many things as good as men. I don't want to do everything that a man does.

I don't want to change bulbs or repair my car. That's the work of an electrician or a mechanic. But if I want to change bulbs, no one can tell me that I can't or I shouldn't. If I want to repair my car, let me do it with pride. If I want to fly a plane I will fly like a bird.

I want to be treated like a woman. I wanted to be treated like a human. I want to be treated like how you want to be treated yourself. I want to be loved like anybody else. I want you to let me choose. I want the freedom of choice. I want freedom. Is this why you call me a feminist?

Rendezvous with Su

Foundation! Foundation is important, my mother used to tell every parent. The way the child is taught as a kid makes or breaks the kid's higher education. I too believe in this philosophy and have become a hands on mom as Su started class 1. After one and half months (and only 1.5 months), I am not sure if I teach Su or if she teaches me. Here are a few instances and you can let me know...

Learning numbers (Greater or Smaller)

After try to get her to understand the numbers that are greater or smaller, this was my final attempt
Me: If there are 5 chocolates in a bowl and there are 3 Chocolates in another one, which bowl would you choose? 
Su: None
Me: why? (Agitated)
Su: Doctor has asked me not to eat chocolates. 

True.. She has been advised by the doc to eat as less chocolates as possible for her constipation problem.

Me: If you now don't tell me the right answer, I will beat you. Do you want 9 hits or 5 hits? Which is lesser? 
Su: Zero 
Me: What!!!!!!!
Su: I don't want you to beat me at all!!!



Learning numbers (Before and After)

Me: Su read - What comes between 4 and 6? 
Su: hmmm, hmmm hmmmm (her pencil on the face, head, mouth, etc and the answer comes out) AND!!!!!!

Me: ______ (dash) comes before 7
Su:..... hmm hmmm DASH!!!!!



Learning numbers (Counting, Addition)
Su can count 6 fingers in one hand.

Me: 9+0 = ?
Su: 9
Me: 0+9 =? 
Su: 0 in the mind, 9 in the fingers, after 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (on her fingers) = 9



Learning Spelling

Me: Write... Your grandfather's name is .........(Vasudev)
Su: Vasuthev


Learning EVS

Me: I am your father's daughter, who am I?
Su: Me

Me: I am your father's son, who am I?
Su: me
Me: How Su? 
Su: Papa keeps saying that I am his daughter and also his son!!!!!!!!!

Me: I am your mother's brother, who am I?
Su: You can't ask me such questions, you don't have a brother!!!!!! 

Me: I am a bird, I have feathers, my young ones are called Chicks. Who am I?
Su: mamma Chick


Learning Kannada


Me: Fill in the blanks. ಆರ__   (ಸ, ಗಿ, ನ )
Su (Writes): ಆರ sa

Me: Match the following pictures to their names
Su read most of them but one was pending. I told her to read that as well. She tried her best. she couldn't get it.
Su: (at last) Crab.What do u call it in Kannada amma?  
I then, knew that she was reading based on the pictures.. like ಅಂಗಿ, ಎಲೆ, ಊಟ, etc.

Happy reading!!

9th Anniversary!!!

As many lives of a cat
As many spaces in a tic tac toe
As many saves due to a stitch
That many years of share and care
That many years of love beyond compare
That many years we've been a pair
Happy 9th Anniversary dear!!!
