Lost in Reverie....

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. 'I don't much care where -' said Alice. 'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat. '- so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation. 'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.” ―   Lewis Carroll ,   Alice in Wonderland Off late I have been pondering a lot over some of the decisions that I’ve made and ‘what ifs’.. its like a chain of thoughts that gets triggered by anything - a small conversation with the hubby, sight of a group of ladies enjoying by themselves, women dressed up for office in the morning, mothers engrossed in their kids’ activities, friends climbing up the corporate ladder… just about anything. In my 20s, like most girls my age, I was very career oriented and was quite sure of what I wanted. Life was set...

First of all I would like to wish everyone (including myself) a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2014! For me, 2013 was full of ups and downs...lot more downs than ups...few really tragic incidents in the family, lack of focus on work, a sick child most of the year... phew!! There were of course moments of yeah's and wow's scattered here and there throughout the year. I've hardly made any new year resolutions (apart from losing weight !).. but this year I have a whole list :) I plan to review it monthly and see how it goes. 1. N- My son had been really unwell most of last year so this year's complete focus is on his health and diet. Of course we can't expect a child not to fall sick, but developing healthy habits (food and otherwise) is a priority. 2. Kadambaby- Yes, that's my second child ! Its been about 2 years since we've started this brand and its doing pretty well for itself, but I always feel that I should put in a lot more time and effor...

I was updating my details on a website and as usual there was this space ‘About me’ When I sat down to write this column, I couldn’t think of anything that’s worth writing about…I’m just how a normal person is! I’m a mother, a wife, a daughter, sister and lots of other ‘avatars’. I am also an entrepreneur madly in love with her work (that’s how entrepreneurs are supposed to be, right?) I have lots of other passions which I pursue whenever I get the time off from my one year old toddler (I consciously make an effort to take out time for each of them)…painting, reading, writing, music, dance! This blog was started from my need to just pour down my thoughts on anything under the sun…it is not limited to any particular area. But I have not been very regular at posting. Somewhere this blog always came last in my ‘To Do’ list and I never got down to updating it regularly. I now promise to myself to be regular at writing...but as they say, promises are made to be broken! Let’s ...

Looking back...it’s not been long since we first thought of getting into kids home décor and now we are almost ready to roll !! We gave ourselves a deadline of 11th Nov’11 as it is our son’s first birthday (and therefore the most auspicious day of the year for us). And as with everyone else…we realized that we work best with deadlines!  It was quite an ambitious planning… getting the website ready, product concept to designing to getting them made, integration with payment gateway, facebook, twitter et al… everything had to be done in just about 3 months. Phew!!  All of it is finally over and we are ready to start our website with our first collection of bedroom furnishings and some cool stuff for infants. We shall keep on adding a lot more categories as we expand.  Have a look at www.kadambaby.com and please do let us know what you feel. Your comments and feedback is extremely important to us.
