What the bachelor had to do with just a mother of two!

That title got you hooked, didn't it? Admit it!! Well, there is no scandal here.This is just a post about how my blog title came to be! If you are disappointed, I'm sorry :-) If not---- well, read on!
Many people have asked my why I call my blog “Just a mother of two” when obviously there is so much more—to me as well as my blog.:-) In fact, once I was amused when someone (who must have just read the title of my blog) actually took the trouble to write me long mail, saying I should not be disheartened and that I was doing a very important job, raising my two kids.(of course it is THE most important thing to me. I gave up a 'corporate career', without second thoughts or regrets—and I really enjoy my kids)

How the name came to be—well, a friend of mine who is 'contentedly unmarried' , used to tease me a lot , calling me a ‘mother of two’. I used to tease him back saying he was a ‘horny bachelor.’ I even sent him this picture and he laughed.



Months later, when I was in Kerala,I saw this mother goat with her two kids.(pun intended!) I couldn’t help smiling and clicking a picture,
After all, she too was just a mother of two!

When I started the blog, the title ‘just a mother of two’ seemed apt. It was a private joke and it brought a smile to my face. It still does.

And now YOU know the inside story , as well!

  3. Haha -- I love the pun about the goat and the kids! That was quite clever. And for what it's worth... you being a mother of two... that is definitely quite a designation that will stomp CEO or Chairman Of The Board any day!

  4. Loved this mother goat picture! The mother bear in the blog title looks a bit too cold (pun intended too), with the two baby bears looking at her with sad eyes. Humm, perhaps it's the father bear? lol

  16. You are sardonic like that :D (I hope sardonic is the word I'm trying to say)

    That bedpost is hilarious!!! LOL

  17. My dictionary tells me sardonic is a bit bad, so I mean amusingly sarcastic or something like that. I hate it when my vocabulary becomes so limited.
