It is some birth control for women but offcourse i didnt know what that meant. All the ad said was you can take it after marriage. I also once asked her if it is mandatory to sing a song on suhag raat. Dont remember her answers and I cant imagine her embarrassment. <em>Me: rofl at the suhaag raat thing. </em> All you moms are really great, trying to keep up with the silly but genuine questions kids ask. I dont know how i will cope with that when i have one. <em>Me: You will learn and make stuff up just as well as anyone here, once you get there.</em> Nice discussion here :-)

Are you sure that babies don't come to momma's tummy as a result of 'tapasya'? And the ghost who came in my room the other day was nothing but an illusion since they live in 'ghost cities' only and CAN NEVER venture out of it? And that I was so naive that I believed my mom when she said that I should never go out of house while she was at work since 'buddha baba' could come to take me away!!! vaise I have NEVER lied to Diya!!!! and would NEVER do so until she provokes me ;-) <em>Me:hahahha..

My friends asked what "nirodh" is to her parents when she was 6-7 after watching the ad. Her mom said "Shh..dont you know its a famous book.

Thats the only way I can know whats going on in her life. If parents lie to children and children lie to the parents, you can't use the trust card on me here, ok! And No, I will never misuse it or confront her about it. Its like the kings in the fairy takes dressing up like common ppl to know what is actually going on then altering their policies...its not wrong. No its not. Nothing you say can talk me out of it. <em>Me: Ashwina has an email a/c . Sometimes when she uses my laptop, she forgets to sign out and I go into her a/c to check what emails she sent/received.
