Yes I knew my granparents very well. My dada died when I was 10, dadi died when I was 23, nani died when I was 16, nana when I was 19. I was extremely close to all of them.

¬ Bewafa ¬

I did have an amazing childhood alhamdulillah. We traveled around the world, a new country every year with my parents. One story: Sometime in the 80s [when you weren’t even born perhaps!], my sis and I were off to India via UK on our own, traveling “unaccompanied” with the staff as parents wanted us to visit our cousins there as well as be able to spend more time with the grandparents back home. They were to join us a few weeks later. At Heathrow, London, I noticed a large crowd in one area and found out it’s Wham! Me being a crazy fan and all, rushed behind them leaving my sister all by herself crying . Of couse the ground staff was around and took care of her and just laughed at me later but I saw George Michael…omg omg omg !!! My sister gives me taaney till this day!

I’ll find out how amazing I am once my kids are all grown up. Until then, it’s teh consistency of my efforts and my passion that is going to have to play. I think they need to visit our home countries more often. InshaAllah we plan to do that more in the future.

There is no solution to saas bahu problems as most of them are in the head.

Yes, women’s rights are violated…mostly by women themselves. It starts off right at the point a daughter is born…the disappointments. Also, moms need to spend more time with their daughters in teaching them the right stuff instead of teaching them to be “chalaak.” Then, daughters should be encouraged to work as well as help around the house. They should be self sufficient in every way. Having said that, they should go into a marriage knowing that they should be good wives to their husbands before they expect them to become charismatic prince charmings. If more women seeked knowledge, they’d find it. But wither they’re raised as gloomy grief stricken self pitying useless citizens or with extreme ideas of independence. Also, dads need to step into the parenting roles more. The confidence a girl gets from her dad is more powerful than from her mother.

I would NEVER be disloyal to my family.

If persuaded enough, I’d eat paye and sushi.

hahha! I don’t think so

Bestest mods in my forum [from a CM’s perpective]: Sara, Shak, Sahar, CB, SGC, Shehnai, njgal, reha [In no random order] Worst…ummm, I don’t think anyone was that bad but we did let go of some not because they were bad but because of their time constraints.

I think you were an amazing mod. As my coMod in cafe when I started, you were the one who taught me how to get around the place. You were pretty direct in your style and I take that well because it saves time. As a CM, you were a trendsetter, had a handle on things and super at organizing special events.

You can PM me anytime for anything.

LOOOOOL omg that’s hilarious! your poor sister

oh gosh sharma sharma kay i didn’t know

Re: Niks answers

Time Pass

I gew up in Punjab India..then we moved to Africa…then I went to college in Shimla, then Chandigarh, then came to the US. So I had a very interesting growing up! I was a very trendy nerd :D. For my future, I always envisioned a cozy home with daughters…and that’s exactly what I got! We had our first child after 6 years of being married. And when I found out, I was overjoyed and ecstatic! I felt blessed. MIL suggested the name and we loved it! I feel motherhood comes naturally…it’s a gift of the almighty! No, both bachis were well behaved in the tummy :D! It’s a blessing to raise daughters…they bring “ronak” and everyday, it’s a new thing ! Yes, all mothrs have to sacrifice their comforts…it’s a privilege. I think my husband and I are on the same page of parenting and we are working on providing them with a good foundation for their fiture…for a lot of it depends on what environment we provide, and then the circumstances. I see myself as a healthy and active grandma! I see myself doing pretty much what I do today except that my kids would be replaced by my grandkids

Great replies Niksik. Suprised to find some one on GS who did their schooling in CHD/Shilma:-). I did some part of my schooling in Chd and part of my family lives in Shimla:-).
