I became an Appa (dad) in 2023 with the arrival of Uma. Before that, I was just a dog dad. Uma changed my life in many ways. I am enjoying my parenthood a lot. And I like to write about the ups and downs of being a father here.

Minding My Business

Today was my first encounter with moral police, though I wasn’t his target—a teenage1 couple in the park2 was. As I entered, I noticed a young couple hugging, maybe even kissing, but I couldn’t see clearly as I was not paying much attention. Then I saw a man with a toddler approached them....

Weekly Notes 34/2024

Weekly Notes 20/2024

Uma’s sleeping cycle has changed a bit. She now sleeps from 7 PM to 6:30 AM, with a short nap in the morning and a longer nap after lunch. Her diet includes most of what we eat, but less spicy. She doesn’t like eggs as of now :(, which are important in our diet, so we keep trying different ways to introduce them.

Echo and Uma 3

Echo, Pathu and Uma

We introduced Uma to Pathu and Echo on day one, and she has grown up with them since then. Echo and Pathu have been friendly to people and toddlers even before Uma.
