Children love superheroes for their super powers, but we parents usually take these stories with a pinch of salt; knowing fully well, that these stories are just that – fantastic! But today, I am here to tell you that superheroes are awesome! Yes. They are awesome, they have amazing powers and most importantly – they help people when they are really in need! Surprised? Read on to find out my story of how the "S ooperMoo"   of MooShake helped me in my hour of need – My little one and I are best buddies. We do everything together. We eat together, read together, play together and even work together (yes, she does her homework when I work…) We even hit the bed together at night!

The year is 2011. The month is October. And the date should be somewhere towards the end of the month. I have recently moved into a new house; and am recovering from a recent unfortunate medical complication.  My parents have come down from Mumbai to provide moral support as I recuperate; and after a rough few past weeks, I am just about beginning to get my life back on track.

Six-year old Nysa was the first to recover. “Yay! Daddy will be home at night! Daddy can read me bedtime stories! Will you get me to sleep  Daddy? And oh, will you walk me to the bus stop too?!”

Look, I know you are all grown up and all; but be careful okay? No, don’t remove your helmet! And it’s okay to cry if you fall down, I am right here okay, sweetheart? I will come pick you up right away! There goes my little rider…” Dad:  “Helmet strapped on? You remember what I said about the brakes? Okay, then, off you go, buddy!” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mom:  “Rishi! You haven’t brushed your teeth yet! Come on, brush your teeth before you go to sleep….no, don’t pretend to be asleep now! Come on! I am waiting, Rishi!” Dad:  “Choo-choo…hey Rishi! There’s a train here! Its shaped like a toothbrush and its going on the tracks that are my teeth…oh look! Its leaving foam in its wake instead of steam! You must see this,
