About

First of all let me thank you all for visiting my blog @ A Mom and A Baby. My name is Puja Darshan. I am a full time housewife now, spending some nice time with my baby and my family. For people who paused at “housewife now”, I think I should elaborate.

I was working with a leading Insurance Company since the past couple of years. That was when I conceived. Like all good organizations, my organization also gave me a 90 days maternity leave. My baby was only a month and a half when my leaves finished. I had to spend some time with my baby. I could not have left her alone and joined work. So I called up my employer and requested an extension for a month so that I am able to spend at least some time with my baby (I thought a thousand times before calling them up). The answer was very prompt. “Why don’t you resign and join back later, because we cannot give you anymore leaves”?

This is the moral of the story for anybody who is working a 9-5 treadmill. You are loyal to your organization. But is the organization loyal to you? That is the question that one needs to ask.

My husband is a computer freak. In fact many a times I feel that mine was the 2nd marriage for him. He was already married to his computer when I got engaged to him.

I had no clue what he was doing but I had often heard him say, that he is preparing for an early retirement. I saw that he was working with websites and videos and blogs etc. When I had decided that I will resign from my job, I sat beside him with a long face discussing on how our finances would shape after I resign. He looked at me and said, “Do you want to work for yourself”?

That is the day, this blog was actually born. I felt the need to write and work for myself after the slap from my organization.

A Mom and a Baby – is the experience of a full time mother. My baby is 6 months old. The last 6 months was quite an experience for me as a mother. There were a lot of things that I learnt. Most of it from the experience of my elders and the rest from books and other media.

As a first time mother, you often do not get the correct information in baby care and when you turn to different sources, the information you get is also not uniform. That is where I think my blog will help you. My endeavor with this blog is to provide as much and as precise information as possible to all the first time mothers out there. I would love to get your feedback on all that you find on my blog. I would love to implement that feedback and better the information that I provide you through my blog.

All the best.
