Pihu’s first stint with instrument

Children are always so eager to explore new things. My daughter gave me a surprise when I introduced her to baby piano app which is available on android, and I had downloaded it on my galaxy tab. She was then 3.5 months old when she saw it for the first time. But she astonished me when she tried her hands on it so nicely. I was speechless. I was at my mother’s place, so my hubby was not able to see it.

Yesterday she has completed her 5 months, so thought we should once again give her the tab, and see the magic. As was expected her cute expression, sincere effort and hard work mesmerized my husband. He was so delighted to see it that he thought to record the moment for a lifetime. Eagerly waiting for my daughter to grow up so that I can show this to her..:)
But before that I would like to share it with all of you.

Just take a back seat, relax and enjoy.

7th May— A day so special

7th May this day has been very special in my life. First it’s my father’s birthday and second and even more special because on this day I got the news that I am pregnant. From here on it changed my life.

Motherhood is a wonderful feeling, I had heard about it many times, but to experience it is all the more precious. I am thankful to God for giving me a chance to be a mother. It is teaching me so many things everyday. Awesome feeling. A person who never believes in God will start believing once you enter this phase.

I can’t forget the time when I went to the doctor and she said congrats you are pregnant but need to see a scan also. We saw a dot like thing which has developed into our precious daughter. Oh God you are amazing. Then in the next scan we saw a baby with fragile body, tiny fingers, toes…floating in the liquid. The description given by the doctor made it all the more exciting. Wow! what a feeling it was. I was carrying a life inside me. During the pregnancy period many things happened which troubled us, but God took care of everything, and this brought me even closer to him. I started feeling how can anyone doubt on his existence and his duties. He is taking care of all of us in such a responsible way, but still we keep complaining. Even I used to complain. But pregnancy and motherhood has changed me. I have started loving the almighty.

Becoming a mother is the best thing that can happen to a girl. It changes you. It teaches you so many things. You are not responsible for yourself only but for the little one that you have tried to bring in this world. Directly or indirectly we are responsible for everything associated with them. This life doesn’t belong to me anymore. It is my daughter’s life.

My Angel my daughter ” Samruddhi”. So I have decided that from now on I will share my precious moments spent with her with all of you. The fun part, the fear, the excitement and the lessons learnt during the course.

So now let me introduce you to my youngest teacher, she was born on 19.12.12, and she is 4.5 months old now.:) last year she was in my womb this time. One year passed since I conceived, delivered and now my baby is going to complete her 5th month on 19.5.2013.

My life, my heartbeat….

 

So true….

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.- Mother Teresa

Annoying

In this world how much you do for anyone, they are never satisfied. They are never contended with all that we do for them. i find it as toughest to please your near and dear ones. They are always behind you to find mistakes.

It’s difficult

People say we should forgive and move ahead in life. I say I can forgive but can never forgive what they have done in my life. In everyone’s life there are certain people who make their life sweet and bitter.

Same is with me, everyday I try to forget my sufferings which are due to certain people without my fault. We are social animals, animals who know how to communicate, who get hurt, who express. When I look towards my past I only see sufferings, when i think about my present it could have been better, but when i think about future i get tensed, as i don’t know what’s in store.

Why do we get hurt with certain incidences so deeply that we are not able to overcome from it throughout our life. At least it is like that for me. I will never in my life forgive certain people. As of now I am sure about it. In the future what my thinking will be, it depends.

But yes I have been hurt by certain people. I might forgive them in future but will never forget what they have done towards me.

Unusual Birthday….

Today 25th July, it’s my B day. It is an unusual day. I don’t know how I should react whether I should feel happy or sad. Sad for I lost my father exactly one month ago on 26th june, happy for its my day and my mother has come back yesterday from hospital after staying there for one whole month. Don’t know what to do….

God is strange, what he does, why he does, only he knows, how much we try to understand we can’t. This birthday could have been very special for me, as my parents were planning to come and stay with me. But God called my father to stay with him and sent my mother to the hospital the same day.

Well as human beings we have to accept to God’s wish, we have to surrender to him. Even I have accepted his command, but I am felling disheartened and I am missing my father even more, as I used to wait for his call and his cute little enthusiastic and lovely sentences. I am missing you papa.

Just have one prayer on my B day to the almighty please help my mother to recover soon, so that she can come and stay with and even I can go and stay with her.

Please God help my mother to recover fast.

 

Miss You Papa…….

26th June 2012. A date I can never forget in my life. I got the news that my father is no more. Couldn’t believe my ears, but it was true he has left all of us to meet the almighty. May the soul of my father rest in peace, and he gets best of everything. Whatever I am today is due to his teachings, his principles. More than a father he was a friend, a friend with whom you can fight, argue, give suggestion, become angry, hug, rely and more than that love. I love you papa. For me you are still there, you are the best.

There were so many things I wanted to do for him, show him, explore with him, but now I can’t. But yes I will try to live your dreams and make you proud. Everybody used to say I resemble you. Now I want them to say your daughter has made you proud. You are no more with me but I will continue to do all those things you wanted me to do. I know you will bless us and will see what we do. Where ever you are, I will do all those things that you were not able to complete. I promise I will fulfill all your dreams.

Love you Mom ( get well soon ) and Papa…. I miss you a lot……

Time will tell which dreams I am talking about, I know you are with me and will always stay. You did your part and left to be with divine on time. Now it’s our turn.

When you were there I could not communicate with you much, and appreciate you.That how much I loved you. But I want to tell you Dad what ever name I have in this life today is because I follow your principles. You have always taught that what is right will always stay right. You used to say do your bit leave rest to God. You always used to say follow your mind and heart, don’t be slave for other’s desires and their thoughts. You used to tell speak the truth and work practically, this world is cunning you have to be smart enough to save yourself. You have always given importance to food and health. You also used to say do your work on your own don’t depend on others.

Papa I am doing all that you have taught me to do, but I am a little late, you are not here to see. I miss you papa. I always used to say Papa mummy loves you a lot. And see the day you have left she is not is the house she is in ICU. Papa I need my mom, she loves you but even I love her. Today it has been fifteen days that she is in ICU. I know she will recover. I also believe another saying of yours God does everything for good. Just want to see what goodness is hidden.

I never doubted God’s decision and will never do, as you used to say God is always right. It is us who has to realize our mistake and correct them as soon as possible.

There are so many things i want to write and tell, but I am just not able to do that. Just want to say Papa I love you and miss you.

Tips

Today I have something very interesting to share with all of you.It is my new invention. I don’t know how many of you have tried it, but it actually works. If you want to do waxing at home and don’t have  a wax heater, moreover don’t want to use the gas stove. I have a solution.

Use a facial steamer yes it works. Put the wax container on the steamer, preferably a small plastic container is better, as it is easy to handle, and I tried the same. After 3 minutes, the wax starts melting and is ready to use.

 

 

Year 2012

New year, new dreams and new expectations.I was waiting for this year. I have a lot of expectation from it. Lets see how many of them come true. But I must say it has been a good start for us. There has been lot of things that we had longed to do for a long time, but were not able to do for some reason.

Well, I want to focus on the good side of the picture. In the staring of this year we went for outing. We visited Wonder La ( Amusement Park ). I wanted to see this place for some time. Finally with the arrival of 2012 we could do that. We had planned a very short holiday just for 2 days, but it was short and sweet. We did a lot of things in this short trip.

We started our journey on 12 Jan 2012 and  returned on 13th Jan night. First we headed towards our most awaited destination “Wonder La”. I must say it is an awesome place, specially the water rides, it is so much fun. Then, there itself we watched 4D animated movie for the first time. It is such a lively experience. I wish Directors direct more such movies. We saw musical fountain, lazer show, did rain dance, clicked pictures, spent lot of time in the wave pool.  ohhhhhh it was so much fun, I wish to go back……:)

Wonder La

From there we went to Mysore, searched for a hotel. We got an awesome deal, a very pretty room, with nice amenities.

In the hotel " Crystal Plaza "

Next day in the morning we went to Mysore Zoo, Mysore palace, after having so much fun we should thank God for giving us this day, so we also want to a famous temple near by known as Chamundi hills. It is a Goddess Durga temple.

Mysore Palace during day time... it looks splendid during night.

To end the memorable journey we went for a spa. Relaxed….. had food and slept in the car on our way back.

We skipped only one place from our checklist Bird sanctuary. Lets see when we will visit it.

This was January….

Now February….

We have our anniversary in this month on Valentine’s day… 14th Feb.

As it was a weekday we both went to our office but I got a nice surprise from my husband in my office itself. He sent a Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1″ across to me at my office. WOW what  a surprise gift. Perfect for both of us. Plus it is so useful. We like it more than Ipad. In the evening we went to the temple to offer sweets and then lastly at night we went to have  dinner at one of my favorite joint ” Yo China” .  We had chinese cuisine and explored our new gadget Tablet which we have named as “Gupuji”  or “Crystal”. It depends on our mood what to address, generally it is gupuji…..hehhehe…:)

3rd anniversary - 14th Feb

Well for the time being this is it… I hope this year brings more memories which I could share with all of you.

Happy living…
