Leh Trip - Day 1 @ Delhi

Reached Delhi at 9.30. A good friend picked me up from the airport and we drove to his house. I witnessed a new generation of roads. 10 lanes and 34 level toll gates, which on a weekday would be packed for hours. Within 20 min we reached DLF phase 1. I could not stop looking at each house. Massive is an understatement. I really wonder where does so much money come from. it was the next day to Diwali and most shops and people were still waking up with a strong hangover.

10.30AM and we hit the 1st wine shop open. The dude at the counter was counting all the money he had raked in the previous night. Picked a few bottles of beer and hit the road to his house. Shoes off, beer opens, hit the bean bags - All this to start a lovely Sunday morning, the way it is supposed to be.

Drank till night and slept very late. This must have been the best Sunday in a long time.

A Journey of Perseverance:

Eight months ago, I took on a role I never imagined would redefine my life—the primary caregiver to my non-verbal autistic child. The journey has been anything but linear, filled with triumphs, setbacks, and moments of deep introspection. The First Steps: Building a Routine At the outset, my focus was on the fundamentals—helping my child build a structured routine around daily life activities. The initial goals were simple: encourage independent eating, transition out of 24-hour diaper use, and introduce basic dressing skills. Progress was painstakingly slow, but over months of relentless effort, small victories emerged. My child now remains diaper-free throughout the day and independently uses the bathroom. He can eat rice with a spoon, though breaking bread remains a challenge. He has learned to remove his clothes but is still struggling to wear them. Each milestone was a testament to patience, repetition, and consistency. A Deeper Realization: Beyond Physical Routines As I immersed ...

The Stares We Face !

Image
If you are a parent to a neurodiverse child, you’ve probably experienced this: the stares. Some are fleeting, others linger. Some are filled with curiosity, some with judgment, and others with quiet admiration. But on most days, those stares just make us feel... different. For parents of neurotypical children, these moments might be insignificant. But for us, they are a constant reminder of the gap in understanding. So, what are people thinking when they see a child who behaves differently? And more importantly, how can we change the way people respond? What’s Behind the Stares? Not every stare comes from a bad place. People look for different reasons: Empathy and Admiration – Some recognize the challenges of raising a neurodiverse child and think, "I don't know how they do it." Curiosity and Confusion – Others might wonder, "Should I ask about their child’s needs, or would that be intrusive?" Judgment or Misunderstanding – Sadly, some assume behavior...

Road Trip in Oct11

Image
This was our journey without knowing where we were headed, where were we to stay and what were we to do after reaching the destination.... it was all about the drive... and what an amazing experience it was... We had heard about Sakleshpur and decided that we head in that direction. Started at 0800hrs and hit the road towards Mangalore. The road was a breeze and even after a Pitstop (breakfast) for 30min, we reached Sakleshpur by 1130hrs. 1st things first, check for accommodation if we were to camp at this town. It had been an amazing drive till now and with no luck to stay & time running out, we decided to hit the road to Mangalore and camp at Mangalore. Did some local sightseeing, driver change and hit the highway again. The ghat section from Sakleshpur onwards was a little bad and considering the recent rains, it was expected. after about an hour and 40 kms in to the drive, the roads smoothed out and the drive was a pleasure again. Reached Mangalore at 1530hrs, went south to Ull...
