Is it the world or Us who is getting smaller


We talk about globalisation. We talk about world as a small global village. With all these growing technologies we defintiely have made world a better place to live but are we living in a better way.

In the past where letter brought in the joy where getting a call from some one close would mean so much , now a days its all become a fantasy. Even a third standard kid is getting missed call. There is no quality time spent with out loved ones. And especially with iphones..things have gone even worse. Getting a answer from your loved one...itself is a big gift even if we stay together. The only source of entertainment has become watching television or browsing. People spend hours in chatting with unknown faces rather than to talk to their life partners. How many times we get a response from our better half while they are busy browing their i-phone.

The happiness you get when getting a post, when reading those letter written in your friends or relatives handwriting no words could describe it. Whether its birthday or a festival, to do shopping and buying greeting cards writing messages and posting them all those moments are lost now. The only thing that fills our letter box is the bills and statements nothing personal.

I remember even when I was in college during some lazy sundays I used to open all the letters cards and read them which would always bring smiles. Ya now also we mail our friends but whats so special...where is the personal touch...Slowly we are becoming like machines...searching for happiness in the technology..always browsing either in laptop or thanks to apple even in iphone..Kids are busy playing games in their parents i phone..

The healthy hobbies like stamp collecting or writing or even reading books I guess will soon vanish. The moments where a family sit together and chat..especially the moon light dinner in the terrace are all kind of vanishing now.

Well what to say..where there are no ears to listen to these thoughts what is the point of having these communicating gadgets. When distance between hearts have increased what is the point of world getting smaller.

Virus Virus Virus


There are good days and There are bad days. This is one such day.


My daughter was down with viral fever. Now for the first time I felt bacterias are better than virus atleast I could have given her some anitbiotics. After 4 days of continous high fever she started getting rashes. I was so worried. I thought it must be HFMD!!!! And rushed to the hospital again. The doc checked and confirmed that its not HFMD but its still a viral infection and the next two days her rashes might get worse but later she will recover on her own.

So am hoping she gets better soon. This phase is really tiresome and leaves with literally no energy physically and mentally.


I wanted to share some things to do when there is high fever.



1.Make sure that they do not get dehydrated. So keep giving them lots of liquid. Especially water for ever few minutes. Since there are ulcers in throat and mouth its very difficult to swallow. So only way is to keep giving them in small amounts frequently.



2.Its okay to give some cold jelly, ice cream or yoghurt but they should be given only in very minimal amounts. Otherwise it might aggravate the fever or cold.


3. Its okay to give sponge bath using luke warm water and let it dry on its own.


4.Dress them up in very light clothes and make sure that the room is ventilated and neither too hot not too cold.


5.And more importantly take care of yourself too as as a mother we need more strength and energy to take care of our kids.


Generally I am against the concept of taking kids to GP when they fall sick. I used to argue that its important to take them to only paediatrician even for small issues. Last time when I was down with fever and at the same time my daughter also was sick with cold and flu I took her to GP since he was near and she also recovered fast. And because of that I took her to GP this time too which is actually wrong. May be I should have taken to the paediatrician first. Ofcourse a virus takes its own course of time but still...So Lessons Learnt..Never take kids to GP .


All izzz well :)
