Its the birthday weekend!

Ammu will be 9 this coming weekend !! However, she doesnt seem to be very excited this time since its on a Saturday, as she won't be going to school in a colour dress and distributing chocolates to all her classmates and teachers... But of course everyone else is :)We plan to have her distribute...

Of birthday celebrations, cards and teacher’s day!

Lots of things to write about! Adi turned 5 last weekend!! Friday was the birthday. Ammu had made an icecream card for him! She was very excited at the outcome and wanted to give it to him in the van, first thing in the morning. She was in two minds though... her concern was that...

When wishes come true :)

It takes a child's innocence to really and completely believe that wishes do come true!! On the eve of your birthday,you blew a fallen eyelash and made a wish. You told me that you wished to wake up early on your birthday, that each one of us comes home early on that day and the...

August round up…

August has been quite eventful, especially the latter half... A trip to Mysore during the 2nd weekend...  celebrated Raksha Bandhan and Independence day. While we were there the kids had a good time at the nearby park. Though the play area is not maintained, the kids love playing with whatever still exists 🙂 Then, the...

D day!

The countdown was almost similar to the last year's 🙂 The day dawned bright n nice 🙂 Ammu woke up as soon as I called out her name!! 20 minutes earlier that usual.. And sprang out of the bed in just a couple of minutes. No drowsiness.. no laziness. She wished good morning to everyone...

My Natkhat Nandlal :)

Who else... the ever active, restless, never tiring Adi 😀 Upto something every single moment!! On our way to Mysore... Barely into the trip, out of our area ... onto Hosur road Adi: 'Where is Mysore?' Ammu would at least wait until we crossed Bannerghata road 😀 He was least interested in going by the car....

A Special Tuesday!!

The countdown had begun in earnest, on 1st of July. But it intensified greatly yesterday 🙂 Mamma, now it is morning or afternoon? Mamma, what is the time now? When will it be tomorrow? At 8 PM: Mamma, now it is evening or night? And it didnt stop at that. While going to bed: mamma, why...

To the birthday girl!!

There was this little kid. She used to learn by just observing ... be it dance, rhymes, songs... But she was not interested in going to school. She just wanted to be... in her dreamland perhaps! The first day her mom took her to school, she just refused to utter even a single word :(,...

The year gone by..n..the year ahead!

On birthdays..its mostly about the year ahead.... Wishes and blessings for a great new year! ...and seldom about the year gone by 🙂 This birthday, however, is different...a kind of milestone; both, for me and Ammu. The past year has been full of activities and accomplishments, some expected and some just out of the blue....
