Gifts from my kitchen to me
Two burnt fingers
Three chopped nails
Dozen blackened scars
Two aching feet
Some gifts from my kitchen to me
Baking powder that always runs out
Yeast that never fails to expire
Brown Sugar that’s always wet
Butter who forgot to be soft
More gifts from my kitchen to me
Failed cakes
Burnt cookies
Bitterly bitter chocolate
Crystallised ice cream
Sigh! Gifts from my kitchen to me
Hundred giggles
Thousand smiles
Tons of messy clothes
Forty flour lathered fingers
Couple batter smeared cheeks
Twinkling eyes
Drooling Tongues, altogether adding to
Four Happy Children
Best gifts from my kitchen to me
Thank you dear kitchen for letting us be

I am an ex-Management Consultant and a successful entrepreneur having close to twenty years of corporate experience. I am currently focusing full time on being a homeschooling parent while researching on the future of education and alternate methods of education. I am also a Vedic Math Trainer, an Operations Manager at a business run by her children and a philanthropist working with tens of other under privileged children. I bring all my past and current experiences together in the form of writing blogs. Using these blogs I wish to create awareness in parents, caregivers and educators about parenting, education and holistic living.
