Twinkle Khanna often shares glimpses of her mom-life on Instagram and she just added one more entry to the list. On Tuesday, the 47-year-old author included just an excerpt of a conversation she had with her daughter Nitara, 8, in a delightful Instagram post. Nitara too is a bookworm, just like mom Twinkle. It appears, Twinkle has set a reading quota of 25 pages for Nitara, which prompted her to ask a question, followed by some retrospective thoughts on Twinkle's part. Here's how it went, as shared by Twinkle: "'You have a quota - 25 pages a day and so do I.' She asks, 'But who gives you the quota mama?' 'That's the tricky part of being an adult. You have to give yourself these tasks and make sure you stick by them'."

Talking about how she starts her day with Nitara, Twinkle wrote: "With brushed teeth and uncombed hair, we begin our mornings in the best way possible. It may not be 25 pages every day, sometimes it's merely 5, but it all adds up eventually." Twinkle Khanna sums up mom-life in this conversation with Nitara:

Twinkle Khanna and actor Akshay Kumar are parents to Nitara and teenaged son Aarav. During the lockdown, both Nitara and aarav featured in Twinkle's posts a little more than usual. "Being a mom often means brushing her immaculately groomed hair one last time when you are the one who needs to run a brush through your haystack desperately," Twinkle captioned one of her posts recently. Here are a few more delightful posts from Twinkle's mom diaries:
