Last weekend I got to go to a TEDx show. My first TEDx talk live. There was a time when I was watching or listening to talks on YouTube all day long. But I had never participated in one in person before. The subject was Game changers and many people talked about their problems and... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Love, Death & Robots
In a world of saturated Movies and Tv Shows its hard to find something that won't bore you. To death. Do you know the feeling when you find a gem? This is a whole bag of them. Of awesome short animations. To be honest the title didn't catch my attention. I must have scrolled past... Continue Reading →
Small kids small problems / Big kids big problems
Don't get me wrong, I love my son to the moon and back. But my posts are not all about rainbows and unicorns. I try to be more of an observer of how things really are behind the mirrors. My son is 3 and 5 months old and I feel like he is leveling up... Continue Reading →
Godfather
My time has come. I have added a new title to my name. Godfather. I know for many that's something ordinary. But there are others who don't want it. I was one of them. Being asked to be godparents for a wedding feels like a big responsibility to me. Besides that, you will be a... Continue Reading →
The Upside Down world of kids

Embracing No
My son is almost 3 years and 3 months old. As he is growing, so are his interests. And you have guessed it - disinterests. Lately, he has embraced NO as his favorite word. No to going to kindergarten, No to eating, No to going outside. No to sleeping. And when asked why we get... Continue Reading →
At the beginning of the Preschool age
Pureheart - a heart that is pure. That's what my son feels like at this age in development. He's almost 3 years and 2 months old. It's the age when he wants to share everything with us. His food and drinks. His hugs and kisses. His thoughts, his likes, his fears. He's so bad at... Continue Reading →
This too shall pass
While I can't really remember where I heard this first, after looking it up it seems to have Persian origins. Like plenty of other stuff, it kind of stuck in my head and it had mutated into something like this: Are you sad or tired? Don't worry this shall pass. Better days will come when...

Life with a 3 years old kid
My son just turned 3 years old. Feels like just yesterday I was holding him up for the first time and now he's almost another person. He learned to salute other people. We might be going to the park and out of nowhere I hear him say "hi kids". It's just awesome to see him... Continue Reading →
