Welcome to a Mommy's Diary!

Hey! I am just back from Amritsar . It is famous for it's embroidered fabric, jutiyan, vadis and papad. Amritsar is famous for  Phulkari  work suits, dupatta, saree and shawls. Phulkari means flower work. I bought a " Pataila Suit " for my niece which has phulkari work on its dupatta.  Patiala suit- Rs. 750 I picked up one dupatta for myself too at a pretty cheap price of Rs.300. But remember, you need to have good bargaining skills for that. Dupatta- Rs. 300 Walking around the  Hall Bazaar , I saw these beautiful, vibrant Jutiyan. Each pair was in between price range of Rs.150 to Rs.4000.  When in Amritsar you can also buy vadis, achar(pickle) and papad. Vadis are available in 2-3 variants like moong daal and urad daal. Papads are huge in size.  Do post your comments or queries if you are planning for a trip to Amritsar. Cheers!!

I hear this question often. Do I work somewhere? My answer is a BIG YES!! That too fulltime 24/7 non stop. What my salary is like? Tangibly nothing. But actually the my salary amount is so huge that I cannot measure is. Unconditional Love by my baby is my SALARY . I am in absolute love with my job. I believe raising a child is the toughest  but the highest paid job on Earth. I am going to share some of my experience and advice: Baby Care - Initial 1 year is very crucial for the baby. Take utmost care of baby during his/her first winter and summer. In winters, try to keep feet and hands covered. You can get these readymade mittens from market to cover hands. If baby catches cold, just take few drops of mustard oil(sarso ka tel) and rub on your palms and gently massage on baby's chest. Cover the chest. This works wonder in summer. Avoid medications as much as possible. In summers, keep baby in comfortable loose fitting cotton cloths. You can buy bodysuits while you go out....
