Bah! you say? Sample this - My typical day goes something like this:
My little darling is an early riser and but that I mean somewhere around 4:30-5:00 a.m and by rising early he doesn't simply wakes up and smiles around. He wails. Now

From then on its baby breakfast time (cereal first, appropriate fruit and then a little warm water), baby bath time (get his little pool ready, baby oil, clothes, shampoo) baby medicine time (gripe water, iron/vitamin drops) and then he is ready for a short nap before his lunch. Now babies dont open their mouth, ask to be fed and burp easily. They cry and fuss around even when they are hungry. And once they are fed, burped and happy they want to crawl, climb, pull, push, tap and poke things which are NOT their toys. Surround them with all the colorful toys in the world and yet their eyes will search for the TV remote, glass flower vases, mobiles, heavy keys, pens. Not to mention the number of diapers one got to change in between. Whew! So there's my point.
Despite all this the fun of being with your baby is uncomparable. When he starts to understand little things you say - like when you say FAN and he looks up, or when you say No-No and he shakes his head too and when you hide and he seeks you out with a gummy grin it simply warms every damn cockle of your heart. This has turned to be quite a book review from what I actually had in mind.
Anyways after Wicked Women of the Raj, The Memory Keeper's Daughter and a Collected SPOOK Stories by E.F Benson, I have read this book called - Getting Rid of Matthew by Jane Fallon. A very enjoyable, unputdownable delighful summer read.
Here's a short description -
Helen, the main protagonist, has been having an affair with her boss Matthew for

Anyway, I wont tell anymore...its unarguably funny, some places very insightful into human nature and if u can get your hands on it, read it.
