My 7th month Collage

I am growing and changing all the time, and my papa doesn't miss capturing the moments on camera. he is not a very camera friendly person but he is somehow interested in capturing it for me and publishing it so that in future when i grow up, i can see these and enjoy.

i am sure i will papa..

I have started eating Solid Foods (in liquid form :D)

So finally the day arrives when I have started consuming food other than my mom's milk.

I have started liking it very much as I consume whatever is provided by my mom and I must say she has put in immense hard work to come up with increasingly different varieties of food but in liquid form.

Immense effort is placed in ensuring that the food is extremely healthy and at the same time tastes well and all credit goes to my mom. Till date i have had mixture of spinach, moong dal, raagi, tomato, onion, garlic, jaggery and apple in small measurements.

My mom is extremely cautious to take it slowly and making sure that i can consume and digest these foods well, and my body has been reacting well till date which is good.

My dad though at times make me lick one or 2 sweets and mom gives him a sound scolding :)

see below photo of my first solid food feeding..

My 6th month Collage

I completed 6 full months on earth on 16th November. Here is a picture collage of me with collection of photos taken during my 6th month. It was a eventful month for me as I had my head shaved, ear pierced all painful procedures celebrated with pomp and pleasure by everyone else ;) :( :P

Will post about the function, my first trip to India, my first Diwali, meeting my folks grand parents, great grand parents, Rahul, dhithya, my aunt and uncles and my first family picnic in a short while.

 

Short Collection of my Videos

Here are some of my laughing, shouting, giggling, turning and wrestling videos :) . All courtesy my papa who makes me laugh immensely on a daily basis and my mummy who religiously shoots every video of mine.

I Love my Mamma, like to cuddle and lick her cheeks :D

Pani Puri

 Oops!!!! don't mistake me by the title of my post, believe me I never had pani puri, I haven't started my solid foods yet, how do you think I had pani puri........... I swear its not me who had.

My parents decided to have pani puri, after a long time, and went to a joint to have. My mom enjoyed every bit of hers, but it was my poor papa who was struggling, because he was carrying me in one hand, and having pani puri in another hand, and ensuring that it doesn't spill even a drop on me......

Well my mom carried me until the joint, but since she is butterfingers, as my papa calls her jokingly as things keep slipping out of her hands :), my dad had to do juggle between me and his pani puri and in between talking to me and keeping me engaged..

seeing joy in their faces, i am sure they enjoyed every bit of the snack, and promised me while leaving that they will come back when i am a little older and ready to have such snacks.

My 5th Month Collage

Today i completed my 5 months in this world. it has been a wonderful journey so far full of smiles and laughter.

See below my collage pics from 5th month

New Friends And People Around Me

I have 2 more new friends in my building, Rishabh and Mishika. Whenever i go down with my mom , they are so excited to see me and immediately offer whatever they are have in their cute hands. Even i am equally happy to see them, i actually try to come out of my pram and go out and play with them.

My dear friends wait for few more days, and i will come on my own and we shall play together and have a nice time.....

I am the youngest member in my building now, and the moment I go down with my parents, I am treated as though I am a celebrity, people immediately come to talk to me, and even forget my dad and mom, even if they talk to them, its all about me.

Er, does she sleep well in the night, does she cry a lot and so on and so forth'?????

Going forward, I believe all the talks in my parents life will include only about me, or shall I say major part will be about me, yes it has to be that way, because I am the apple of their eyes, and their little princess


 

Me and My Mummy in our new Kangaroo Pouch

My parents bought a new baby carrier which they call as Kangaroo Pouch :)

its in my favorite color RED and my papa has bought it so that my mom can carry me comfortably while moving in the airport and airplane.

The bag is designed to have a ergonomic position while i am seated in it, so it feels extremely comfortable, and also its comfortable for my parents as the weight is evenly distributed and no pain and discomfort is felt both for my parents and me.

so much my parents think of our comfort, hope i grow up and keep them happy always... that's the least i can do, though they as parents are not expecting anything and are totally selfless when it comes to me.

Here is the collage of me and my mommy in our new kangaroo pouch.

My 1st Krishna Janmashtami and Pram Pics

I received my new pram on krishna janmashtami and it was my parents gift to me, i have started to like the same as my parents have made it comfortable for me to sit in them.

hoooooohooooooo, i can now safely move around outdoors with my parents in my new pram and have a look at the outside world. In fact i have already done that as we visited our surrounding area and to malls Lamcy and Festival city. It felt nice to see so many lights around :) i enjoyed moving around outside.

I also experienced the first festival in our tradition which is the birthday of lord krishna who imparted the Bhagvad Gita the most sacred text which i listen almost daily right from the time when i was in my mother's womb. It feels so soothing to hear the sanskrit texts, i will make it a point to follow the teachings of Lord Krishna as i grow up and imbibe the practices in my day to day life, as my parents always say, its not important to be learned in spiritual texts and start mouthing them around, but its important to apply them in our day to day life.


have a look at the collage of Krishna Janmashtami and Pram.

My 4th Month Collage Pics

I am 4 months old now, and i do realize now when people say time flies..but somehow for me as of now time remains the same, as if there is nothing called as time. there are only PRESENT MOMENTS and i am enjoying each one of them as they come and go. My parents tell me to continue with the same even when i grow up, and i hope with support of my self and all i am able to do so..

I have started to turn so much on my belly nowadays, though i used to do the same albeit less frequently during my month 1 to month 3, i even sleep nowadays on my belly sometime and either my dad or mom flip me around again. :)

anyway here are the pics Enjoy

Gimme RED !!

Me and my papa just love the color RED

Same to Same :) 

Mom's Message to me

My Mom wants me to read this article and follow this in my life when and while I grow up and Nirvi assures you mamma, that I will follow this no matter how many desires I get that diverts me from following this, I will control them. PROMISE.

So here is the article which my mom had in her mind...


From a very young age our girls are targeted with messed-up media messages (think "Thin is beautiful, and beautiful is everything, and if you want to be happy, you need these shoes!") and exposed to all manner of temptations, online and otherwise. As a parent who can shape who they'll become, there are many life lessons that every parent want to teach their child. But there is also some specific advice for daughters.

Here are 20 girl-centric things which girls need to know and follow.

1. Learn the word NO. Sure, I don’t like it one bit when you say it to me, but in the big, scary world out there you will be faced with endless tough choices. From boys to beers to inappropriate Instagram photos, potential trouble will lurk everywhere you go. You know that little voice you have inside, the one that tells you something doesn't feel right? Listen to it. Respect it. And most importantly, use it to say NO. It won't be easy a lot of the time, but I assure you, you’ll almost always be glad you did.

2. Spend more time worrying about how beautiful you are inside than outside: It's fine to take pride in your appearance and want to be pretty. But if how you look is all you care about, you'll pay for it down the road. Yes, you are beautiful -- magnificently, achingly so -- but never forget that you didn't do anything to create or even deserve that. True beauty comes from being kind and thoughtful and compassionate. If you're ugly on the inside, you're ugly. Period.

3. Stuff won't make you happy: Oh, in the moment -- when you're pining for that headband/skateboard/Fijit Friend/designer purse -- you will truly, madly, passionately believe that they will. But things break. We lose them. They run out. They go out of style. They become uncool (the worst!). Happiness comes from appreciating the things you do have, not acquiring more.

4. Some girls are mean girls: Be extremely careful when you choose your friends. At the risk of throwing our entire gender under the bus, girls can be nasty and petty and jealous and cruel. Some of them will lie to you or pretend to be your friend or stab you in the back, and it will hurt like hell every single time. If you're totally unprepared for it, it will crush you even more.

5. Girlfriends will save your life: Yes, girls can be awful, so when you find a loyal, true friend, hold onto her for dear life, and do your best to be loyal and true right back. Boys will come and go, but a good girlfriend will be your steady through the peaks, the valleys and everything in between.

6. Don't judge people (but know that you will be judged): It's a catch-22, kid: I've taught you not to assume things about people simply by the way they look or the clothes they wear; unfortunately the rest of the world won't always do the same. Remember that when you want to bare your belly or pierce your tongue or dye your hair blue. (This may not matter much to you now, but wait until you're trying to get a job or meeting your first boyfriend's -- or girlfriend's -- parents.)

7. Boobs are overrated: Until you have them, you're going to want them. When you get them, you'll obsess about them. Are they big enough? Too big? Is one bigger than the other? (Yes, it probably is. Every breast on the planet is different, even the two sharing the same bra. Accept it and get over it.) No matter how you feel about your boobs, remember that they're not called "private parts" for nothing. So do yourself (and me!) a favor and cover them up. Nothing you could ever do screams I NEED ATTENTION like putting your perky young rack on display.

8. Get to know your grandma: Sure you love your granny, but have you taken time to really talk to her? Grandma's had a lifetime of experience being a woman, and it would be a waste to not tap into her wisdom. Ask her about what it was like growing up, the first boy she liked, how she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. It's sad but true: She won't be around forever, so make sure you get to know her while you still can.

9. High school is not real life: It feels like there's so much at stake, with cool girls you're desperate to befriend and boys you're crushing on so hard you can't imagine ever meeting anyone better. But trust me: Life gets so much bigger when you go to college and then out into the world. And what someone is like in high school is little indication of who they become as an adult. The popular kids? They might peak as a teenager while some of the kids who don't fit in go on to achieve great things. It's impossible to have that perspective when you're in it, but please trust me and believe these words when it seems like your world is ending.

10. Love yourself first: Not everyone is going to like you and that's okay. Women often are obsessed with getting approval from everyone, but here's the thing: It's impossible to please everyone. The only person who absolutely must like you is, well, you. As long as you can look at the chick in the mirror and know you're making the decisions that are right for her, even if they displease someone else, you can't go wrong.

11. It's okay to wait: The other kids are rounding the bases, while you're not even sure what the bases are. That feeling of overwhelmed discomfort with the whole thing is telling you you're not ready. You'll get there someday, and there's no reason to rush. Hardly anyone ever regrets taking things slow, while a lot of girls do have remorse over rushing.

12. Sex should be fun: You shouldn't be in any rush to have sex, but when you do feel totally ready to do the deed, remember it's supposed to be fun -- really fun. If your partner doesn't care about making you feel good, both emotionally and physically, or you don't know enough about your own body to lead him in the right direction, see #11.

13. Not every problem is the end of the world: Remember that book I used to read you, The Boy Who Cried Wolf? That lesson applies to pretty much everything you do for the rest of your life. If every dilemma or disappointment you face is a 10 on the Drama Scale, you won't get much sympathy from me (or anyone else). It will take you a while to develop full-fledged perspective; in the interim, play the "will this matter in five minutes/days/years?" game before you freak out about something that feels major in the moment.

14. Don't compare yourself to others: You may not want to hear this, but there will always be someone prettier, richer and more popular or talented or athletic or artistic than you are. Don't assume her life is better or happier than yours because of it. Life isn't a competition, it's a journey. You're here to work on being the best you can be.

15. It's only hair: Seriously. You will curl it and straighten it and pull it back and pin it up. You'll wish it were thicker or longer or wavier or straighter. You'll braid it and twist it and color it (please, not pink). You'll spend untold hours counting your split ends. And for what? It's hair. Life is too precious to waste so much time on the pursuit of mane perfection. Put a baseball cap on it, and go out and have some fun.

16. Being smart is cool: Sometimes you may feel as if you have to hide that you're smart. Listen closely to me when I tell you: You don't. Don't ever dumb yourself down because you think it'll make you seem cooler or to try to impress a guy. There may be a window of time when your peers genuinely think that brains are for dorks, but it's a very small window, I promise. If you choose to use your brain, I promise you those dingbats will be drooling over how cool and successful you are.

17. Don't lose yourself in a guy: The goal of dating is to find a guy you like just as he is and who likes you just as you are. Don't pretend to love wind-surfing or scary movies just because he does, or act like you don't love the clarinet because he thinks it's lame. There are plenty of boys out there who will love and admire every last quirky thing about you. Hold out for one of them.

18. Speak up. I'm not talking about complaining or boasting or trying to get your way... but if you have an opinion or you aren't being treated fairly or you see something happening that you know isn't okay, it's your right and your obligation to open your mouth. You may annoy some people when you do or even impress them. Either way, it's okay. The more often you stand your ground, the sooner it will become second nature.

19. You have power over boys: At some point, it will hit you: You are the reason he stumbles over his words and gets sweaty palms. It's a pretty heady feeling to realize you're in possession of feminine wiles, isn't it? But with great power comes great responsibility, so make sure you are always gentle and never cruel. After all, boys can have their hearts broken, too.

20. You'll hate me some days, but I'll always love you: I hope you know enough not to say it to my face, but I accept the fact that there will be moments you feel like you detest me. All daughters think their mothers just don't/couldn't possibly/will never ever get it at some point. But even if you hate me -- even if you tell me so -- I am still there for you. If you need a ride home from a crazy party, advice on a guy problem or just a good cry, I'm your girl.

Me and my Parents

Here is my favorite of all Collages, me, papa and mamma.

I love my parents.

3rd Month Picture Collage

I am 3 months old now. I am constantly make sounds now, sort of singing, which my papa calls Nirvi Alaap..he he he :)

Also I am constantly playing with my mom and dad, laughing a lot at the funny faces and sounds made by my parents. all in all a B-E-A-Utifil life :D

Here's my 3rd Month picture collage.

 

Me making sounds and giggling

I started making lots of sounds, which my parents claim to others that nirvi is talking in her language. I somehow enjoy making those sounds and actually speaking I am conversing in my own language, its just my way of expressing happiness.

My papa tells my mom always I make more sounds during morning time once I am awake after good and peaceful sleep and after I have had my breakfast which is the same as lunch and dinner and snacks i.e. my mommy's milk :) he he he...

Also off late I have started giggling and laughing a lot when my papa makes funny faces and sounds to me. watch the videos below to know.

My First Fireworks Experience

I had my first fireworks experience during Eid in Dubai, and watched the fireworks on all 3 days when it was displayed in full grandeur in Dubai. My parents took me to the roof of our building to watch the dazzling display of fireworks.

The moment the fireworks went off during those 3 days of Eid 2013, at 9:30 pm, my parents took me and ran up. More than me they were excited to show me the same.

My papa insisted on showing me the fireworks as he wanted me to get familiar with the sounds and light as we will be travelling to india to celebrate my first Diwali and those cracker sounds shouldn't come as surprise to me, hence my parents took me to watch the fireworks daily for those 3 days or rather nights.. :)

I was stunned to see those dazzling fireworks in different colors go up in the sky, it was such a nice experience, and quite surprisingly I wasn't scared at all much to the amazement of the other neighbors in our building who were watching it with me.

The fireworks were around for 3 mins, and it was so much fun to see them. once they were over I kept looking around to look for more, but it was not to be found. My parents consoled me saying there will be more such fireworks daily for an entire month during the DSF - Dubai Shopping Festival period. I was happy to know this and eagerly looking forward to DSF 2014 which my mom says will be around January time.

Well till then enjoy the video taken by my uncle naveen so that I can watch the same whenever I want !!

 

My First Friend

We had a long Eid holiday in Dubai, and my parents friends prashant and harshali had invited us to their home. It was here that I met my first friend Aarya, she is elder to me by a month, and we both were lying next to each other and watching our parents make strange and funny faces to us :) :)

we both communicated in our language and laughed seeing our parents make all those faces to make us laugh.

Both dad's started discussing upbringing factors, and schooling issues, but me and aarya were playing nicely..aarya shared her play toy with me and we both were watching it together as my mom was showing the same to us. aarya's dad told us that he will be our swimming teacher and will start teaching us when we are a year old. we are sure it will be good fun.

here are few pics of me and aarya together and this will be start for a sweet friendship in the years to come.

 

My First Play Dolls

Hurrayyyyyyyyy

I received my first play dolls from my mom and dad and my uncle naveen. My parents gifted me with a Turtle that emits stars and moon in my room ceiling. I like it sooo much, whenever its switched on by my parents. 3 different star and moon colors appear orange, green and blue. I seem to like to green color more than the others.

the other play doll I got from my smart uncle naveen (he will have to buy me more dolls to write this :) )  was a doggie. it looks so pavam, bechara types, and whenever someone places it on top of me I kick it..so bad of me naa....but I guess as I grow I will be more mature to play with it nicely.

here is a picture collage of me with my bechara puppy.

 

Collage of my photos of Month 2 and my 2nd hospital visit for vaccinations

I am 2 months old now, and had my 2nd vaccination schedule. Dr.Samitha checked my weight and height and I was on track. I am weighing 5.6 kgs now and my height is 56 cms.

My papa is so protective of me, even though the medical center is just across my house like 5 mins walk, still my papa insisted that he will take me by car right till the entrance. he reasoned that the climate now this time of the year is hot in Dubai and hence the car.

I started crying when the doctor injected me with the vaccination shots one on each thigh, my mamma couldn't see it and she turned her head around, moms will always be moms, they can't see their child in pain. my papa funnily though like to see these kinda things closely and he was watching the injection procedure so closely without blinking his eyes.

then my doc gave me the oral vaccination shots, actually speaking it was tasty :) :)

surprisingly though I didn't cry after the injection shots on my thighs, it was only the moment while they pricked i felt discomfort but later on i slept and it was fine, unlike couple of other kids ahead of me who kept on crying..my doc and parents were equally surprised, don't know why I didn't cry.

later at home after an hour I started playing again with my nana and nani.

below is the collage of my pics of month 2. in the last photos I am actually saying "Yo ".. :)

in the bath tub photo I actually look my elder bro Rahul when he was young.

 

Collage of my photos of Month 1

How much I have changed from day 1 till day 30. the below is an collage of my photos of Month 1.

I have already started meditating in photo 6 from top left :) :), and I think seeing the 4th photo my parents would have named me Nirvi as my papa feels bliss when he sees this photo. My Yawn is sooo wide in photo 7 and I think I am speaking on phone in photo 10 :D

It seems I am surprised by something in photo 11...

In order from May 16th till June 16th 2013

 

June 6th - The date of my Punyajanam

Well finally the day arrived and lots of preparation was going on, both grandpa's had arranged for the materials required for the ceremony and for the vadhyar.

all woke up early around 5 am and started taking bath and getting ready for the ceremony, it was so nice to see everyone dress up in traditional attires. since we had this event at home it was mainly a family affair and the only relatives in Dubai had arrived for this event. my peema and peepa, with my 2 friends (sisters) and kalpana aunty. venkat uncle had gone for a Himalayan trek and he promised to share his experiences on this trek when I grow up, so that I will also some day if interested go on a similar trek.

vadhyar came at 7:45 am and started making the arrangements for the ceremony.. we switched on the Skype so that my aunts and great grand ma can watch the ceremony live from our home in Bombay. my elder sis dhithya was so happy to see the ceremony and she was jumping up and down.. Rahul anna had school and so he couldn't see the ceremony live :( but no probs big bro you can always watch the videos and photos which my mama and peepa took.

my papa and mamma were sitting with the vadhyar and going thru the rituals as dictated by the vadhyars. all othere were seated and were talking and enjoying the ceremony. peepa and mama were clicking photos continuously like I am a celebrity..they love me so much and hence didn't want to miss capturing a single moment.

Pati's were helping the vadhyars with the necessary items required for the rituals, and it was all joyful to see it. the naming ceremony finally concluded with my parents mentioning my name in my little ears and it got imprinted on me. I could hear the words Nirvi Nirvi Nirvi mentioned 3 times by me papa. I love you dad for keeping such a unique and meaningful name. Nirvi means Bliss and my parents say they find bliss in me, he he ha ha I am bliss myself as that is my name and real nature. :)

as per ritual 5 names are supposed to be kept and hence here goes my other 4 names, Anika, Tashii, Rukmini and Rajalakshmi. but Nirvi will be my official name in this world. As my papa says we all have come here to 'act only' hence don't take anything seriously and have fun, hence for acting out my character has been named Nirvi.

After the ceremony was over all had a sumptuous breakfast ordered from saravanaa bhavan pongal and idli, everyone was raving about the taste especially of pongal and sambhar, and both dishes are my papa's favourites. Hope I grow up and like the pongal :)

For me I had my mom's milk and went to sleep. everyone else were talking and had a fun time.

Lunch was served and dishes included rice, sambhar, avail, gajar halwa, papad, potato curry, pickles and curd. everyone had their fill and had a quick afternoon siesta so that all can be fresh for the evening rituals.

all woke up at 5 pm, had coffee and then got ready and dressed up to start the cradle ceremony function, this is a inhouse function without the requirements of vadhyars.

The cradle had been setup beautifully with flowers by my naveen mama and Bombay thatha. The cradle had been bought by my thatha and it was given by my sister dhithya, aunt lavanya and uncle sumanth. thanks for that aunty and uncle :)

the ceremony started and Bangalore pati told first an object dressed up as baby should be circulated from top and bottom of the cradle and placed inside before putting me in.. and then the same was done for me..my papa standing in one corner and taking videos quietly smiled and remarked well the circus begins.. :) finally after all circus I was placed inside the cradle but it was fun and all in good spirits, whatever said though all this is done in name of traditions it actually is fun to watch all this and I guess that must have been the objective initially right at the start when this was introduced by someone somewhere.

all started singing traditional songs in tamil and it was little boring suddenly my papa sprang up and said why only these kind of songs we can sing any song and started singing cinema songs..he was totally bad I must admit,,papa but I love you as you really changed a boring environment into a fun one and he made everyone sing a song including thatha's and my 2 sisters. this triggered off an anthakshari session between young vs old people and it was so much fun.

it ended after an hour and we all had dinner and peepa, peema and my 2 sisters left for their home as it was quite late night and also my grandpa's went with them for a change of place.

we all had a nice nirviful sleep later :) see the pics below for Naming Ceremony and Cradle Ceremony...

Punyajanam - Naming Ceremony

After lots of discussions the date for my Punyajanam was finally decided, though my name was already decided by my parents this was a traditional and formal way for naming new babies. Its so nice that our traditions have these events as the main purpose besides generating positivity it gives a platform for us to have get together with friends and families. the main objective of all these ceremonies is to have fun according to my papa and we should deviate from this in trying to establish what is the right way of performing or conducting ceremonies as per ancient traditions which in some sort of way has got diluted and really speaking no authority can really claim that this is the right way, yes of course ancient books can be pointed out but frankly speaking they too are assumptions set by people in a particular era of time..well this is getting into a rather deep discussion and will reserve it for some other day and will finally come back to my ceremony and as papa says 'have fun' as that is the real purpose for us coming into this world.

mentioned below is the invite for the same :)

My Welcome Video which my mamma and papa made to announce my arrival to all relatives and friends

 

I made my entry into this world

Hoooo hoooooo yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I finally made my entry into this world on 16th May 2 days early than the said due date @ 1:10 PM at welcare hospital dubai, and the first person I saw was my papa as he was right there when I came out from my mom's womb, I cried for 2 mins and then I kept staring at my papa, and he also kept staring at me. we locked eyes for about 2 mins and then doctor uncle came to clean me up.

as soon I was born, my papa started thanking the doctor and mid wife's (in fact the doctor was saying to my mom that my papa also acted as a mid wife and assisted a lot in delivering me :P :) )

this is my 1st look, papa took this pic 2 hrs after I was born,

Bombay Thatha and Paati

On April 17th 2013 Bombay thatha and paati came here to be with my mom and help her..... My mom told me that they have bought a lot of cute stuff for me...........

Bombay thatha is ever excited to fix the furniture and do carpentry work, just 2 days back my papa, Bombay thatha and Naveen mama fixed new wardrobes in our home....

 

38 Weeks

I'm getting ready for my final launch into the big world and to be wrapped inside mommy's arms.

I'm ready to face the world either now, tomorrow, next week or anytime, I'm so unpredictable now... by ready I mean I can cry, pee, drink and of course most important steal my parents heart forever :)


P.S........... Start the countdown for my arrival, I'm on my way...

36 Weeks

I'm all of 36 weeks now and just 4 weeks to go.

Most of my bones have hardened by now providing a solid structure and helping me in my grand debut to this big beautiful world.

Dad and Mom do you one thing ? I can close and open my hands now and I have firm grasp now, once you lay your finger my rosy petal palm you will feel this..........

I have very little space to wiggle around now, day by day I am becoming very naughty.....

Now comes the million dollar question, am I junior mithun or junior Nandini ????  Any guesses ??
God, Doctor and myself only know about my gender, for the rest including my parents it is a sweet suspense. Keep waiting just 4 weeks to go..........

35 weeks

I'm all of 35 weeks now. My doctor aunty says that all my organ systems are complete and being finalized. Few days left for me to come out and jump into my mom's arms :)

These days I have started to interact a lot with my mom and dad, I move around a lot............ Since I have grown a bit I find my space too little to do all my naughty things...........
I love to sleep only during afternoons and mornings because I play a lot in night and am very active..
 

Papa's CISM Results

Finally my papa's CISM results were announced and guess what, he had failed scoring less marks... But wait that's not the thing which i want to tell, my dad woke up at 8AM that day being a Friday, his weekly off, my mom was already up and was sipping her cup of morning milk..


My dad was chatting with pradeep uncle for sometime and then he came to my mom and told " Today prepare some sweet as i am very happy and want to celebrate this day", my mom was confused and asked the reason, for which dad told 'I failed in my CISM exams and i want to celebrate that... Why should we celebrate only when we pass, we can celebrate even when we fail, whether it is exam or life, it is all in our attitude and the way we see things....

My mom as usual smiled and agreed with my dad and prepared him a cup of tea, and they both were engrossed in chatting about general things when dad told mom see life needs to be balanced always, its in our attitude, for example it is like this 'you are walking on a rope and towards your right is only hard rock and to the left there is a big water source,  Either side you fall it is dangerous, so it is better to be balanced, neutral and walk on the rope, my mom started scratching her head as she didn't understand the point my dad was making.

Then dad had to explain in detail, in life whether happiness or sadness we need to take it in a balanced way, no need to get over excited during happy times and no need to complain during sad times, just be balanced during all times, accept things as it is and keep things simple, then life will automatically be beautiful and wonderful always, as with everything its easier said than done, so we should take small steps towards achieving this balanced attitude. Even better if we can stop choosing anything in life....

And the wonderful thing about having this kind of balanced or neutral attitude is that, it is contagious and rubs to all people close to us friends, families, extended relatives etc and then when all near to us have this attitude than no one will overtly praise us and neither overtly criticize us and this way we as individuals in the corners of our mind, wont secretly seek compliments to come our way to be happy and neither will we get hurt during criticism. When we see people, we label them good or bad or etc etc,hence stop labeling and judging, Just see then as they are.

We always blame others but never look at ourselves. good or bad, do's and don'ts is best known as follows: Would we like if anyone thinks, says or does something that hurts us or causes us pain or misery ?, if yes then its bad and we should not do it to others, cause if I don't like it or feel nice about it how will others like it or feel nice about it?
When everyone has this attitude we will change, albeit slowly one step at a time.

And dad always says chase attitude, then excellence will come and success will follow.

Well I hope and will work towards having this attitude while I grow up...

31 Weeks

Woohoo!! I'm finally half way through my journey. I'm 31 weeks and 3 days old,  !!!! Yippee

 I bet my mom feels like I'm trying to claw my way out right now because of my movements.
Just 8weeks and 3 days until I am born.
My skin is turning from red to pink from the fat deposits, these days I have started to interact a lot with my mom, mostly I shake wiggle and move during night and noons.....
I now have tiny eyelashes, brows and very tiny teeth....

Sometimes I wiggle a lot during early morning and wake up my mommy just to tell her 'I love you mommy' which of course only we both understand. :)

Function Time

On January 19^th 2013 my mommy and papa left to Chennai to go to kumbakonam to attend my mom’s function and Rahul Anna's poonal.

Needless to say my mom was very happy so was my dad but he didn’t express much. In the first day of the function my mom was dressed in green colour traditional saree for the udayashanthi, everyone in the function started guessing whether I am a girl or a boy, well people I know who am I, so continue guessing until may 18^th 2013………..

I met all the relatives for the first time, I met all the mamas, mamis, peripa, perima, chitti, chittappa, annas and akkas, and yes I also met my cute little elder sister Dhitya, my mom’s all time favourite. My mom always tells that Dhitya is a cute angel.

 

My papa was actively participating in Rahul Anna's poonal as my dad is his mama and had to do all the formalities. Looks like my dad was enjoying it, as he full of smiles in all the pics, and Bombay paati was also full of smiles since my papa was next to her most of the time in function.

 

My parents had a wonderful time with all the relatives and they also visited the famous uppiliappan temple in kumbakonam.

New Year

 My papa and mommy didn’t make any plans for the New Year, because they had thought of just meeting their friends. On 31^st night poonam aunty, ketan uncle and their cute little angel ishita and poonam auntie’s sis had come home.

 

We all were chatting for sometime and laughing, as usual papa was at his pranks and pulling ketan uncle’s leg by saying something or the other, papa always does this with his friends, naughty papa………

 

By 11.45 we all walked by to a nearby place, hmmm wait let me recollect the name of the place, hmmm, hmmm, oops I forgot it was somewhere near to my place, anyways as my papa says whats in a name, everyone went there to watch the grand fireworks of the sexy burj khalifa or the world’s tallest tower, my mom was so thrilled to see the same thing again, I don’t know why my mom gets so excited by watching fireworks, crazy mommy.

 

Peepa Peema

I have a peepa and peema (My dad’s elder bro and his wife) staying here in Dubai. I have met them number of times.  I have two lovely akkas in their home, neha and netra akka.

Neha akka is such an angel and netra akka is still a tiny tot, so I think as I am growing up I will stop addressing her akka……………

 

Why do I call my perima and peripa as peepa and peema because I find this way its easy and simple for to say.

I have been to my peepa and peema’s place many times, and whenever we go there my mom is busy spending her time with neha akka and netra J

Very soon I will be spending time with you all...............
