Half a decade to us!....🍷
Ready for some ?

Would you believe if I said we both didn’t want to get married? We were mentally in that “hesitant phase” but when we spoke over the phone(which didn’t go so well🙊 lol) & met eachother, we felt like it’s something to be explored further. And I’m glad we did!
Not to sound cheesy but I knew he was the one when I met him the first time itself. Something felt right❤️
I wouldn’t want to glorify and say life with Mr.Irene has been a fairytale! 🙄
It’s been a romantic comedy with a touch of action & horror & thriller added to it!
Sometimes it feels like it happened yesterday & sometimes it feels like it’s been more than a decade.
At the end of the day..I hope we grow old together❤️

One of our fav points
📍Ananuri Castle, Georgia
Curious to see the view from castle?

I’m not even kidding about this!
I see my husband sleeping peacefully after an argument & I get really tempted to push him off the bed & act as though I did it in sleep🙄🙄
How do they find the peace to switch off & just sleep? Is it a “men” thing or are there women like this too?
I don’t know any woman who can compartmentalize, switch off & go to sleep easily after an argument!!
I can work easily but sleep just doesn’t come easily🤷‍♀️

Finally we celebrated yesterday.
It was fun outfit hunting for everyone though I was a bit lazy initially & was gona make everyone wear the same as last year 🙊 Don’t get me wrong, I love love love dressing up in all matching outfits💃
Let’s say our nanny persuaded me to get new outfits for everyone as it’s a tradition she is used to as part of Onam! Hehe.
Got Ethan’s kurta from .center located at Karama. I was particular to get a soft material this time as Ethan usually gets irritated with silk & any material that feels even remotely scratchy.
Mr.Irene’s kurta & my blouse: 📍Meena Bazaar. DM me & I shall direct you to the stores if needed.

Is vaccination for students? No!
We all have been panicking after hearing so many click bait fake news in the last 2-3 days regarding Back-to-School protocols for Sept 2021
KHDA published protocols yesterday answering all these rumors!

Sleeping at 9.30am while mama is busy getting everything ready for the day tour!!
Perfect way to show
We weren’t planning to travel but some pending annual leaves & summer heat in Dubai motivated us!!
Anyone planning to travel now? Do you want to know the procedure for the same from Dubai?

We always say that it’s so easy for women to express their emotions.
But why isn’t it the same for the men?
Reflect!

Happy Father’s Day to the man who pushes us, both Ethan & moi, to be better on a daily basis.
Being a working parent often makes it very difficulty to be an involved parent but this one tries to be present as much as he can.
And that effort is what matters and today I really appreciate all the effort you take.
We both have different point of views when it comes to parenting and finding our parenting style together has been adventurous to say the least.
We have our ups & downs trying to find the middle ground- that’s what happen when you put two alphas together 😜
At the end of the day, I’m grateful & glad to have this understanding man as the father to our child.

The next few days we are going to see a tremendous overload of “happy Father’s Day” posts describing most of the fathers in the world as epitome of blessing.
If your partner/husband/co-parent is involved 50% of the time in parenting then that is how it is supposed to be, isn’t it?
They are not helping you or doing you a favor!
They are doing their duty.
They are SUPPOSED to be involved with you in parenting!
Sure, Being grateful & thankful is a good habit in general. But, so much more to look into this Father’s Day..
I feel since most of us grew up in a patriarchal society, a slight involvement from a male counterpart is usually “praised” as though he did a great thing, whereas in general, the narrative is that you are doing what you are supposed to do as a mother. Handling everything at home, raising children, making sure everyone is fed and so much more!! The patriarchal society have us believing that men being the bread winner is financially contributing and that’s all that he needs to do & anything more than that is praised as though he did a great favor! Why do we keep our expectations so low? There are so many working mothers who handles both work & the roles of daughter, wife and mother- this is what they are supposed to do right? Whether a mother is working or not(not the point here), she is supposed to handle everything and ‘expectation’ of a father’s involvement is considerably low in our minds- that is what I want us to think about.
I often get “you are so LUCKY & blessed to have Mr.Irene as partner! He helps you so much with Ethan”. I wouldn’t say that he is a blessing to me since he changes Ethan’s diaper once a week or since he plays with Ethan for an hour/day! He is doing bare minimum of what he is supposed to be doing as a father.
This post is to encourage you to look into how GENDER ROLES are prescribed by our patriarchal society and also look into the Expectation, Understanding & Reaction that we have to the actions and roles played by men & women in every day parenting.
This is not to shame or bash men in general. This is for introspection & reflections.This post barely scratched the surface of conversation around Gender roles.

Strike a pose because you can😛
Hold on to your confidence & determination❤️
Loved foundation coverage & 💄 😍😍

We needed to have a titanic moment!
Every now & then we feel that need to take a get away to make sure that we spend some time together as a couple.
Reconnect & relax❤️

What would I not give to see you smile?
That’s applicable to both the boys 😋
Can you guess where this is??
Take advantage of the weather! It’s definitely the best time to do road trips around UAE!

Too late to post a Christmas 🎄 pic? NEVER!😈
How are you enjoying holiday time?
We go to India every year during Christmas time. We were feeling so low that we couldn’t go to Kerala this time 😢 well, I’m so happy that mom visited us this year😃
We are mostly home this time around since we got a round of cold & cough & we were doing the responsible thing of staying indoors till we all got completely healthy.
How are you enjoying holiday time?
We love the Christmas vibe so much that you may expect to see this tree lit up till Feb 🤣😜
😎
