During my mother’s recent visit, my 2-year-old son Gappa brought out those magnet-clad alphabets and numbers. And his Mumma joined him in the play, helping him fix the alphabets to their designated spots on the iron board. And somewhere in between that activity, my mother…

I’ve always enjoyed watching Gappa do ‘pranaam’, touch elders’ feet, even prostrate flat on the temple floor. When he does it, it delights everyone around us. In fact he does it quite well. Honestly, I feel proud. But somewhere, in a corner of my heart, I also feel a little…

My 2-year-old Gappa has this little trick. Whenever he gets hurt — a real injury, a mosquito bite or even something imaginary — he points to it and says “chot” (injury). And instantly, his mumma and I have to kiss that spot. It works like a charm each time; he is fine…

As young parents, my wife Suman and I often make rules for ourselves to parent our 2-year-old Gappa. No chocolates until he’s older. Outdoor play every morning & evening. Daily reading to him, without exceptions. We mean well. We start strong. And slowly… we slip. Here’s a…

Yesterday, my 2-year-old Gappa was showing off a picture book to his grandmother. When he noticed the image of a man exercising, he immediately pointed at it and said, “Ye Pappa hai” (this is Pappa). That one sentence meant the world to me. Because that moment was months in the…

Gappa’s grandmother is visiting us. And like always, her top priority is potty training the 2-year-old. This time, she has come prepared with a secret weapon — a packet of toffees from the village. At first, it felt entirely normal. But it ended up making me rethink something…

Thread 🧵 I have been noticing something about my 2-year-old Gappa. He’ll be secretly ransacking a drawer in some quiet corner of the house, but will run away as soon as he sees me coming. It looks like a playful moment, but it forces me to think. Why does he feel the need to…

Let me give you three samples of how rotten Bihar’s infrastructure is: 1) A bridge over the Ganga in Bhagalpur — not within the busy city, but look at the absurd speed limit. 2) A ‘repair’ job on a highway over the Gandak bridge in Gopalganj. 3) A highway bridge in Munger…

🧵 "हमें तो टाइम ही नहीं मिलता है!" We parents say this all the time — whether it’s for playing with our children, reducing their screen time, or just responding attentively to their questions. I used to think the same in the early months of my 2-year-old Gappa, wondering if…

It’s been a year now. I’ve ignored countless ‘bad omens’ — and guess what? Nothing has happened. I am doing perfectly fine. 😄 And if something happens in the future? So be it. I’ll accept it. At least I won’t live shackled by irrational fear.

If there’s one thing I always wanted to get right as a father, it was this — Reading to my 2-year-old Gappa. I knew it mattered. I’d read about it. Heard experts say it should start as early as infancy. But I kept postponing it — out of laziness & the belief that there was…

For over two years, I kept delaying something I knew was important — reading to my toddler, Gappa. I knew the science. I knew the benefits. But I still didn’t do it. Last week, I finally began. And what followed was not entirely expected — but a pleasant surprise. 🧵

1/6 Every day, two parents at my gym bring their kids along. Seeing them gets me thinking each time. I am not getting into the debate on whether kids should lift weights or not, but what I do know is this: those kids are growing up watching fitness as a way of life. And…

Clay is my current favorite toy for my 2-year-old Gappa! The mess is reversible, the fun lasts long & there is variety. Just make sure you get the non-toxic kind!

Soon, parents will realize that the real struggle isn't just managing screen time — it’s raising children who can still focus. Children who can sit with a book, a thought, or just in silence—without the restlessness, the itch to escape.

Until a few months ago, I was like an ostrich when it came to my 2-year-old Gappa using phones. I knew uncontrolled screen time was bad for him, but tackling tantrums & finding alternatives felt like too much effort. So, I kept taking the easy way out. Here’s what changed. (🧵)

I always knew phone addiction could affect my 2-year-old Gappa’s mind — his focus, learning, & emotions. But only recently did I read & learn how screen use weakens a child’s body. What I learnt? It’s alarming. Here’s how screen addiction PHYSICALLY affects growing kids. (🧵)

From April, my 2-year-old Gappa will start attending playschool. One important question that arose -- will he travel by school van or will we pick & drop him? Turns out, we were clear in our heads. Our decision was already made. But we'll discuss it here today.🧵👇

Deep down, it’s selfish parenting. Such parents put their own self interest above their child’s well-being — whether they admit it or not, or how much ever they may dress it up as ‘love’. And when the child acts distant, they don’t grieve the child’s pain — they grieve their…
