"You write better than you speak" That's what one of my school friends told me when she chanced upon my scribblings. As a kid, I used to pen down my feelings in a diary or on the last page of notebooks. They were never shared and remained buried in some dark corners. Most of them went away with the rag pickers, except my diaries. Soon, I entered the mad race of B.Tech + MBA and successfully completed MBA from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi. A good 7 digit package followed but I was running a rat race till my son was born and some serious health complications put my life on halt. Postpartum hit me real hard and I found solace in scribbling that ended up as drafts in the gmail.

After reading a lot of stories on parenting platforms, I published one of the musings on momspresso (then mycity4kids) and since then there has been no looking back. I have also been writing on platforms like womensweb, firstcry, penmancy to name a few.

Straight Talk Club is about parenting, love, relationships and everything an Indian mother lives through. I named it so, because here I share an unfiltered, unedited version of a mom's life. Be it parenting tips, relationship stories, or untold emotions they all come straight from an Indian mom's heart, my heart!

My son just successfully completed the 4th trip around the sun and I couldn’t have been prouder of him. Today, it feels as if time just flew by but looking back I realise that it wasn’t that easy for both of us. From sign language …

Do parents have no role in the natural learning of kids?

by Supritiupdated on 22nd September 201922nd September 20194 Comments on Do parents have no role in the natural learning of kids?

My son was almost 2 years old when we enrolled him in a playschool or pre-nursery. By the time of admission, he knew the verbal part and identification of objects but scribbling was nowhere in the picture. Some of his friends had the perfect grip …

It Is Important To Be Strong Rather Than Look Strong

My son has a lean body frame. Anybody who looks at him tells me, “You should give him nutritious food.” Well, I do. Everything that goes into his tummy is nutritious and part of a balanced diet. And the moment I say that the next …

Live on your terms

“She’s an MBA but wasted her degree being a SAHM” “She’s a millennial mom but doesn’t wear short skirts” “She can drive but chooses not to.” They insinuated that I am unempowered, dependent, weak and unhappy. But only I experience the joy of raising my …

I hope to Nurture a Strong ‘Budhape ki Lathi’ for myself

by Supritiupdated on 1st March 202031st August 201968 Comments on I hope to Nurture a Strong ‘Budhape ki Lathi’ for myself

Why was I over assertive on having a confident girl and didn’t care about it when I had a boy? Why I wanted to raise my girl to take care of me in the old age but with a son, I should expect him to lead his own life without worrying about his aging parents?

Looking back, I realize that the first year of parenting was the easiest because I never had to bother about the nutrition for my baby. In fact, till 2 years of age breastfeeding was fulfilling all the nutritional requirements. Post 2 years, the only thing …
