The perfect pet




Really sorry--I have had to remove this post as it will soon appear in a book. Making it available online would have been very unfair to my publisher who has placed so much trust in me. I hope you enjoy the other posts as much as you enjoyed this one. A heartfelt thanks for your support and understanding.Thanks for continuing to read what I write.

  2. Ain't this cool. And let me tell you, my mom is just exactly the same for me. Yeah she is my pet :). Guess all mommys are for their kids.

  3. I think my mom was like this - but I don't think she should have been. When I first moved to hostel and when I first came here to US, some things were extremely painful and tough on me - had she made me more independent, I would have been better off...someday u have to move out and I think parents should prepare us somewhat for that day, rather than being hit hard like in my case.

    Now I'm not a mom yet so I don't know how easy or difficult it is to do so I give all moms the benefit of experience :)

  4. Shachi: It was a humorous post :-) We all learn don't we? My mom was opposite of your mom--but I dont think i 'became a better person' because of that, in anyway at all. I guess you'll know when you become a mom :-)

    Anusha: Not all mothers are :-) Ones who have are lucky :-)

    Plas world: Yes you are!

  5. Ahahaha!! So cute n funny ! :D

    but the only place I lost u is…. When u say that they got a new pet when you/they moved to Uk?? Haven’t they had this pet ALWAYS, like even before they actually arrived into this world?! :)

  6. Pavi: :-)Thanks![ Finally someone saw the humour--hooray!] Oh no--only after we moved to UK did this pet arrive..In India there were maids and stray cats to do all that :-)

    Hey that's really coool didn't get that "Mommy" hint..only towards the end of the post I got it :)

    My mom is too the same way as how it is described in here...she gets up early, prepares breakfast, packs lunch and till we all go to Office/College, she never rests...

  32. I was seriously thinking that this pet existed and i was seriously thinking to adopt a pet like that as I am very fond of pets and dont have time to take care of that, Ah, you ditched me Preethi, Ha Ha Ha :-)

    Anyway, it was a nice post.

  33. ha..ha..ha...
    Guess what, I have been reading your blog silently since a few months, always enjoyed them and even voted for you as my favorite blogger but never felt like leaving a comment.
    This one moved me since I share the same feelings and am in a way the favorite pet of my two little girls :-) Needless to say I knew the answer before reaching the end...

  34. :D all smiles.. am too used to being pampered...

    ReplyDelete
  35. was that a self-bashing or taking credit. LOL. I dont mean any of those, I know a mother works more than a Honey Bee and gets less compliments or recognition than a honey bee. I came to know you are talking about yourself(or your hubby) in the first few line. But just to make sure i had to read the whole of the blog. Kudos to mommies, including you, for making the world such a lovely place.
