Book Review | I Want My Mum

The story is about a Little Princess who loves her mother and cannot let her out of sight even for a few hours.
The various situations that the Princess gets stuck in and asks for her mother, is both comical as well as heart-warming. It is nice to see how even the smallest things can bring a smile to children’s faces, for instance, in this case, it is her mother coming and reassuring that everything will be fine or praising her spoiled painting. She looks up to her mother for everything to solve all her problems. She is her role model.

The Little Princess wants her mother all the time – whether it is playing games with her or meal times. The Little Princess is like any other toddler who gets scared of monsters and hates applying medicine when hurt. Another book by Tony Ross in the popular Little Princess series, this one is sure to steal your heart.
The Little Princess is part of a popular series written by Tony Ross especially for toddlers who also face problems like the princess, even though she is a royal. Tony Ross has managed to strike a chord with children as well as parents by narrating stories at a very micro level, without trivializing their problems and at the same time, giving the toddlers importance just like an adult.
Beautiful illustrations capture the toddlers’ moods – happy, sad, angry, upset, jealous and all facets of toddlers.
Perfect book to read aloud to toddlers aged 3+.

Hug and Kiss ‘em & Hold ‘em close to you!

From the moment I conceived, it was my fantasy to have a super tactile bond with my child after he/she would be born (for the longest possible time, I felt it would be a girl!). After my son was born, things became different and the first three months were extremely painful feeding him or holding him thanks to my C-section stitches. So all maternal feelings vanished into thin air and all I could think was sleep or having “me-time”.  There was hardly a chance to cuddle up with him! Post partum depression had hit me big time and me not being able to calm down a screaming infant had dipped my morale too. Motherhood was nothing like I had imagined it would be! Besides I was terrified that my son would not accept me if I didn’t develop a bond early on. Of course, that did not happen. It was a mom’s fear that had spoken. After he entered the infamous toddler phase, I became the quintessential “villain” for my son – the usual don’t do this and that. Yet again, my dreams of becoming...

BPOs don multiple hats...

Till the advent of the computers, all papers and legal documents of every company were filed, stored and catalogued systematically in the form of files stacked in cabinets. If one had to access any of the data, they would have to employ people for the same work. Small and big organizations had to employ extra manpower if they wanted additional help regarding verification of financial transactions and company expansion activities. Outsourcing of jobs was unknown to many in the pre-digital era. Though, the system of awarding contracts to a third party for making machinery parts had begun long ago. Slowly, but steadily, organizations began understanding that they need to outsource other jobs as well, to increase the productivity of their company as well as performance of employees. They started creating strategies for to outsource their business to other companies, minimizing their own labor costs.
