?What? The baby?s here? Okay, that?s good. But do you promise me I don?t have to do anything else now?? Once upon a time there was a woman who used to sleep eight hours a day and laze around on weekends. Her clothes were free of gross body fluids and her bag rarely had biscuit crumbs. Then she decided to have a baby. With books and the Internet for friends?and a husband who responded commonsensically?she thought she had it all sorted. But then her baby arrived, and everything turned upside down! The baby made it his mission to present a new surprise every day. Mommy, after fighting hours of helplessness, came to learn that parenting was a lost battle. There was only one way to survive?keep calm, laugh on and write as the baby dozes. The result: I Made a Booboo, a rollicking account of the trials, tribulations and occasional triumphs of a first-time mom. P.S. Everyone did live happily ever after (albeit only when the baby willed so).
A Marketing professional with an MBA from ISB, Shivangi Sharma has co-authored an anthology titled Dutched Up (rated among top travel books of 2015 by the WSJ) and has written for Mother's World, a popular parenting magazine. She lives in Amsterdam with her husband who plays way more sports than a normal wife can be okay with, and her son, who rarely listens to her. To maintain her sanity through it all, she performs as part of a professional Bollywood dance troupe in different European cities, and indulges in yoga, spirituality and music at home.
