About this Amma!
Hi There, I’m Kavya! Welcome to my corner of the internet. I am a South Indian Boss Mom. I share the chaos, wisdom, and occasional hilarity of my life. If you’re expecting a serene, picture-perfect blog, you’re in the wrong place. My life is more like a spicy masala movie – dramatic, colorful, and full of unexpected twists.
I juggle a full time career, motherhood, being a wife and cultural traditions with the finesse of someone trying to do yoga while balancing a plate of dosas & idlis on their head. My days are a blend of Teams meeting battles, changing lots of diapers, and epic South Indian feasts that could feed an army. And trust me, nothing prepares you for motherhood like growing up in a South Indian [Telugu] household. It’s like training with the Navy SEALs, but with more pappu and unsolicited advice (Love you, Amma and Nanna)
Think of me as your candid, no-nonsense friend. I’m here to spill the chai (sometimes literally) on everything from navigating career hurdles, relationship w/my handsome husband, raising two kids in a whirlwind of tradition and modernity, to surviving the in-laws with your sanity intact. Most importantly, I discuss my relationship with myself.
And if you think you’re the only one who’s ever put their foot in their mouth at a family gathering, think again. I’ve got stories that’ll make your jaw drop and your sides ache with laughter.
So, grab a cup of chai or a cocktail, kick back, and join me on this wild ride called motherhood. Let’s laugh, cry, and celebrate the beautiful mess of life together. Welcome to my blog, The Amma’s Life!
