Hi Reet!!

2012-02-15T03:36:00.000-06:00

The start of this year is with the new life in our family. After a labor pain of more than 12 hours I gave birth to my second child on Jan 7^th, 2012.

Arrival at Cradle when she is still inside me

When doctor asked me to kiss the baby I kissed her and welcomed her with a warm smile in this beautiful world. “Hi Reet “were the first words from me to her. This name was thought before I conceived her. She is Reet (meaning of culture in Hindi is Reet), as she is going to bring the culture, tradition to our house.

The complete nine months has been a journey mixed of emotions, anxiety and adventures. The first trimester was full of nausea, and the last two trimesters were full of adventure. Me, Vivek and Siddharth had great fun and always talked about her, how our life will be different and more beautiful when she will come.

And today when she is more than a month old, It seems that she was already there in our life. She is a cute little sister to Siddharth and his birthday present from me (It was Siddharth who persuaded me to go for the second child). I look upon her more as my companion in life, a cute little princess for Vivek.

We all are pleased with joy with this little angel in our life. The whole life is around her and nothing seems more important than to be just be with her for all of us.

This post is dedicated to this bundle of joy in our life, to these cute little feet who has come to our house and when I look at these ones, these are the words came to my mind..

मेरे घर आई एक नन्ही परी!!

I am flying....

Dear Siddharth,

You turned eight today, and the memories of the words " its a boy" are still alive in my mind. Its a boy i know when you have become a true independent boy on your eight birthday. You woke up today morning and saw that every body in the house is doing the preparation of your birthday, and you went directly to your room and started making it clean for the day on your own..

When you finish a book of 200 pages in few hours and if i tell you to sleep and the answer is मम्मा सोना कितना बोरिंग है ना (Mume how boring the sleep is)?? You dont want to sleep and finish your own book and i am still missing those days when i was reading those story books to you..

When you pick your own cloths, and tells me with love यह मैच नहीं करता (mom this does not matches) and i miss the last year when i use to choose and make you wear the cloths i wished.... You are great at choosing your cloths today.. Better than me..

When you love carrying those grocery bags from the lift to our house and there is a big smile on your face... and i am still thinking of picking you in my lap..

When somebody else calls you baby and you say i am not your baby, I am only my mom's baby... When in this summer holidays you wrote your book on your own, your birthday invitation cards were made by you, your solo performances of tabla on the stage, you were chosen as a player of the month in your Football Academy, you make your own decision to stay back at your favourite friend Manveer's house, you make your own decision of gifting all your cards to your best friend Dev, when you filled your form of immigration while our trip to USA, your first feedback at the opening of our resort Te Aroha by your own thoughts, when you compete with your father in race and win, ... these are few of the achievements son you have completed in the last one year only... and many others which make me feel a proud mom..

You sit just like your father...


When you become a wanderer .....


You are the youngest photographer....

Son, on your this birthday and many more to come, i wish you the best of everything, more moments of joy, happiness, togetherness and love... May you enjoy the life to the fullest and do what you love doing the most!!!

तुम्हारी यह मासूमियत भरी हंसी
लगती है मुझे बड़ी प्यारी..
तुम ऐसे ही खुश रहो
यह दुआ है हमारी!!!

With lots of love..your mom!!

Science Exposition...

2011-10-13T01:38:00.000-05:00

It was a new word for me when Siddharth shared his note in the dairy .. many a times our minds are so much preoccupied that we completely loose the opportunity to create the new ones.. But it was not true for Siddharth and his exposition at school. It was an eye opening event for all of us also. The theme for the Siddharth class was sound around us...

Our Childhood Memories.. A Flashback!!

2011-08-10T01:50:00.004-05:00

I was away for a long time, many good changes in life kept me busy which will occupy this space after some time. Yesterday while looking at Siddharth being too busy with the computer game and with Enid Blyton book in the night, It reminds me of my childhood, without mobile phones, without seat belts, without air bags, and without internet, how beautiful it was. When siting on the back of the truck was a treat, when believing that sight of the black and white ambassador will get us the salt or sweet treat. When it was fun to say Fauzi uncle TATA looking at the truck of army.

Kuch aisa tha hamara Bachpan.. Are you missing those days sometimes i do..

I always wonder how did we survived in our times without phone and internet. A time when i broke my arm by falling from a cycle, and the whole recovering process was a fun and became an inspiration for me today to remember how tough and strong i was. When most of the time was passed reading champak, nanadan and series of Chacha Chaudhry and Pinky.

The one thing is common between me and my son, still when it rains we make boats and go in rain. The only difference is i always sing the below few lines....

यह दौल्त भी ले लो यह शौहरत भी ले लो
मगर मुझको लोटा दो मेरे बचपन का सावन
वो काग़ज़ कश्ती वो बारिश का पानी.....

An Awesome Performance!!

2011-05-17T01:43:00.000-05:00

After the big achievement at Epi centre, Siddharth's first tabla concert on this sunday, i was thinking of the hard work Siddharth has put in to reach to this level. Almost every weekend a class of an hour, and a practice everyday, a lot of blessing from all dear ones, his teacher's confidence in him made Siddharth reach to this level. After listening the drums from a twelve year old boy near to our house we decided to learn Tabla from the same teacher of the boy almost eight months back.

After the performance here is the conversation we had with our seven year old son.

Me and Vivek:) सिद्धार्थ आपको कैसा महसूस हो रहा था पहले, पर्फॉर्मेन्स के समय और अब बाद मे ( Siddharth How were you feeling before the performance, during and and now after)
Siddharth : पहले अछा डर लग रहा था ( i was scared before) , during the performance i should not do wrong and after awesome..

Siddharth at home practicing before the performance

First Steps from home

First stage appearance with his Guru and other disciples

Receiving award and Trophy

and i had tears of happiness in my eyes when he was proudly sharing his trophy and certificate with our guard at the house....

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

If i were a bird!

2011-02-18T07:29:00.000-06:00

Siddharth was given a home work to write on if i were a bird..they completed theme bird in this week.. Love you Son for your thoughts!!

If i were a bird

I would fly in the sky

if somebody is coming with a parachute

I would take him to the airport

he will thanku me

i would meet him

i would not prey on birds

i would think about my baby birds

i would bring worms for them...

Conversation with Siddharth!!

2011-01-30T15:53:00.004-06:00

I have promised for the more post on USA, there is something interesting happened today which makes me think back again in life.. while baking cookies with Siddharth on sunday evening he asks me a question...

सिद्धार्थ: आप से एक बात पूछनी है (i want to ask you something)

मैं: बोलो सिद्धार्थ (yes siddharth go ahead)

सिद्धार्थ: हम जीते किस लिए है ( why do we live)

मैं:(in deep thinking mode) : हम जीते है हम खुश रहें ( we live for happiness)

सिद्धार्थ: मस्ती करें (for fun)

मैं: हम ज़िंदगी को अछी तरह से जिए, खुश रहे, और दूसरो को हर्ट (hurt)ना करे ( yes for fun, for masti and not to hurt others)

सिद्धार्थ: लेकिन हम तो हर्ट करते है (but we do hurt)

मैं: कैसे ( how come)

सिद्धार्थ: आप मुझे डन्ट लगते हो. ( you scold me)

and i was silent for sometime and explaining him that a mother scolds a child then there is a love, in that also.. and after few minutes he was busy in making his story with the spoons.. and i was still in his question and answers..

I just looked back and thought my seven year old son has become very big in his thoughts... and i am living a new life through him...

Siddharth running in joy at the front of hotel venetian in Las Vegas...

Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!

2011-01-06T23:52:00.000-06:00

This time on Christmas santa called us in his own country.Vivek has got some conference in Jan 2011 and he planned that he will not go alone this time and wants his family to come and spend time with the family here in USA. Luckily i also got few of my meetings and the trip was planned.

There were sweet co incidences happened from the day we planned our visit. Siddharth's winter vacation shifted to Jan first week it supported the days we wanted to go. The day we booked ticket it was Vivek's birthday. This was Siddharth's first travel overseas and our first overseas trip together. Siddharth got his first immigration stamp on his Grandma(Daddi) and his favourite Niru Massi Birthday.

Siddharth at his first international airport. Amsterdam

Our stay here was for six hours and Siddharth did not got upset, rather he was enjoying the airport by roaming and exploring it.

The first day at USA and we were out for shopping, shopping of jackets.. The jet lag made us awake at 4 AM on the Christmas morning!! and we all were curiously opening our gift which was a nice sweet surprise from Piya . She did the wonderful thing by packing gift for all in red paper they looked beautiful and there was a gift for everyone they wanted..

Siddharth, Piya, Vipin, Vivek enjoying their gifts..

Almost 13days we spend at San Francisco with the Vipin, Piya and Shreya..Time flies.. we drove to LA, went to disney land, universal studio, pacific drive, hiking.. it was all fun.We enjoyed so much being with each other. Siddharth had great fun making cookies with Piya Chachi. Their Dream team was at best. Shreya learned cute hindi conversation from all of us.. and we picked some bangla words from them.. below are some pictures which shows the fun together with the family at SFO.

tera mera saath rahein...

Bookaroo..

2010-11-27T10:53:00.002-06:00

parents salesa ho..

children salesa ho..

Were the words of Siddharth sang today while we were moving to the bedroom for the sleep.. today is the first day that he remembered each and everything from the fun filled day we had at bookaroo events. After having a very hectic day yesterday for official travel to Jaipur and my bad cough. I did not had any energy to take him today morning, but when i saw him singing this song he made my day. Then the story he narrated to me which he heard there at the Book tree, was the icing on the cake. He could tell me the complete story and with full expression. We laughed and cherished the moments we spent together with friends together at the event today.

As always i loved to capture the moments of expression while listening to the story.

It was Monika and Aakash's first ride to the metro and the smile on their face shows they had fun..

The idea of doodle wall was great at Bookaroo and all kids amazed us with their creativity at doodle wall..

Those who were not interested for football.. did other interesting things..

Happy birthday to you..
Happy birthday to me..
Happy birthday to all of us..
Every moment we are born...

Song we sing at Siddharth school for the celebration of birthday.........Love you Son..

A Journey so far.. 7 years on 7th Nov

2010-11-07T13:34:00.002-06:00

" It is a boy" i always remember these words from the most beautiful moment on this earth..

This last one year has been very different from the first six years. In the last one year you have walked confidently on the path which your father and i have built for you in the first six years..

Siddharth's first stand

Siddharth running alone in the desert of sampi

You started reading hindi and english in full sentences, and i miss the days when we use to play a game of finding alphabet in the poster of film, to pass our time in the movie hall.. now you read the full poster and share with me.. and i feel proud of you , son that you are able to make sentences on your own..

Siddharth's first note which he wrote himself

You make models with blocks and call me with your sweet voice, म्‍मा आप इसे क्लिक नही करोगे (will u not click this). I miss my excitement of running for the camera so that i should not miss those moment of making blocks.

Earlier i will guess what you have made and now you explain what it is and about its various function.. I miss my innocence and love your affection and explanation..

Then

Now

Now you spend more time at the school and i miss our afternoon lunch.... and the small memories around it.. and i look forward to hear your stories of lunch at school..

I miss your days of playing with sand with you, and i love the way you make the sand sculpture now..

Dear Son, today on your special day with you in your special way, i wish you a life full of confidence, masti and love.. may you choose the paths you love doing the best!! AMEN!!

तुमहारी हर चीज़ को जानने की जिगसा,
हमारे गयान को बदती है
तुमहारे पूछे गये प्रश्नो से
बातो में नवीनता आ जाती है!!

and when i read above lines written by your class teacher on you i have tears of happiness in my eyes..

With love and happiness your mom...

2010-10-21T17:42:00.001-05:00

Myself and Siddharth had a US Visa Interview yesterday morning. When we were through with the complete process, and stepped out of Embassy i just realized that i had removed my diamond ring at the Finger print counter and forget to put it back.

We went back and informed the security guard about this, a very kind person took us inside and the counter was closed. I was looking around at the counter the place i have kept it and there was no sign of a ring there. In the meanwhile Siddharth goes to some place around three to four feet away from window picks up the ring and ask me, " Mama yeh aapkee ring hai ( Mother is this ring belongs to you)

Overwhelmed with the happiness of finding it by Siddharth i kissed him and we came back, i was so glad that even the happiness of passing through the VISA was nothing in front of it..

Thank you Siddharth and GOD!!

तेरी ये नन्ही सी आँखो ने जो आज देखा है..
और जिसे ढूँढ लाया है
वो मेरे लिए जो खुशी लाया है
वो याद रहेगे तेरे और प्यारी बात के साथ!!

2010-09-17T05:03:00.001-05:00

I love the way Siddharth shows his creativity. There was a time when he would make something and i would urge and run to click picture and now whenever he makes something, he will call me mama don't you want to click the picture.. so thought of putting picture today.

Siddharth's first rakhi and other one i tied to my brother..

सिद्धार्थ : म्‍मा यह राखी क्या होता है.
मैं: सिद्धार्थ यह प्यार का बंधन होता है भाई और बहन में.. जैसे बॉबी मामा और गग्गी मामा को मैं बाँधती हू. श्रेया ने आपके लिए भेजा हे.

सिधार्थ: वो तो छोटी है वो कैसे बाँध सकती है..
मैं: अभी छोटी है. लेकिन बड़ी हो जाएगी तो बाँध देगी आपको..
सिद्धार्थ: मुझे अछा लग रहा है.

Siddharth feeling so glad on receiving this band of love from Shreya.

Siddharth's first homework he did on his own


Sid Studying under the lamp i used 15 years back

Déjà vu

2010-07-30T12:59:00.000-05:00

आपको पता है पहले हर राजा के पास एक Train थी फेर बहुत पैसे खरच होते थे तो उन्होने track बना दिए और Railway Network बन गया.. हम ने एक झूठी मूठ का राजा भी देखा था

Siddharth shared when i picked him from school today... it reminded me of the days when Siddharth was three year old we took him to the Railway Museum, today he went with his classmates to the same place. and he shared a cute story with us..

Siddharth with his friend Dev at rail Museum in year 2004

हम ने एक steam engine देखा और Toy Train में गये.. एक था जो Train को Left साइड जाना तो Left हो जाएगा Right जाना है तो Right हो जाएगा.. ट्रेन के Wheel round नही होते cone shape होते है

गोल होते तो गिर जाता दोनो side cone चलते है.. आपको पता है ट्रेन का पहला accident कैसे हुआ था एक हाथी से हुआ था बतायो कैसे हुआ मैं बतयू ट्रेन ट्रॅक से उतर गयी और एक elephant सामने आ गया

पहले सिग्नल नही होते थे लोग बता देते थे अगर दोनो हाथ उपर हे तो नही आयो अगर एक हाथ नीचे है तो आ जयो. माउंटन में बोर्ड पे लाइट लगते थे Yellow means engine स्टार्ट, red means stop and green means come..

I have never knew so many fact about train.. which he learnt in this week at his school during their theme as Train Transport...

and when we were reading a story about train in the night he shared how the sharpness of nose helps the fastest train run fast...

यह ज़िंदगी का सफ़र कुछ तेज हो गया
तेरी यह प्यारी प्यारी क़हानियो के साथ
यह ट्रेन पहुँच जाएगी मंज़िल पे
हमारी ज़िंदगानी के साथ!!

Metro Ride!!

2010-07-18T11:37:00.000-05:00

Metro Service has been started in Gurgaon. Siddharth enjoys the metro ride very much. He took his first metro ride at the age of 3 year. This one was more enjoyable as we all went together as a family.

Morning 6.30 AM we woke up and was there at the station by 8.20AM. The moment i told Siddharth we are going for Metro Ride he woke up faster than his father. We decided to visit Qutub Minar.

The first shot:

Inside the metro train, while me and Vivek was busy looking at the skyline Gurgaon has, how wonderful the experience, different types of farm house our creative son was busy making his stories with his new toy buzz and the other animals. He was creating his own jungle with the animals.

Siddharth with his small little world..

Here is the first reflection of Qutub Minar. I have always loved this magnificient building. It was taken more than 100 years to complete it. Below three storeyes are made from red sandstone and the rest two with the marble and sandstone. The moment we reached there Siddharth saw some birds and ran to catch them. The speed of his steps is slow so that the bird cannot hear it.

The iron pillar at Qutub, This is made of pure iron and it has not got rust even after 2000 year.

Vivek and Siddharth playing langi taang at qutub

Siddharth jumping over steeping stone... he always creates his own games

माँ यह metro बड़ी magic है
यह तो कार से भी तेज चलती है..
मुझे बहुत मज़ा आया..
आप और पापा के साथ खेल खेल में...

First cartoon!!

2010-07-13T10:51:00.000-05:00

Siddharth created this cartoon when his friends came home for their assignment from school to create a cartoon character with the shape.

It was amazing the way he created this. He started with the face, then arm followed by body and leg. He has joined a cartoon workshop three day back. Is it creativity he has learn there or his own??

Flying High!

2010-05-09T03:31:00.000-05:00

Siddharth at the airport when he took his first flight

Travel to pune last week brought back the memories of my first flight. I traveled first time by air from Pune to delhi in year 2003. I was supposed to come by train, but due to ill health i came via flight, since it was my first flight i still remember my inquisitiveness getting through the plane. The moment i entered into the airport i called the airhostess of my airlines for help and asked her for the help. Till date i have the sweet memories of the help from the young lady and her addressing to me as Mrs Kalra one of the rarest I had. I laugh today to remember my expression of happiness on my face when i saw the plane for the first time and called Mr. Kalra over the phone saying with happiness “oh it is so big”

I always love the part when plane runs on the runway at its maximum speed and then it takes off I believe to get the best in life also we have to first put the maximum efforts and then we fly… Similar Siddharth has put his best of the efforts and he can read full sentence now and I am glad he loves reading books and doing math like his mom…

When you wanted the most there is no easy way out...

I can do..

2010-04-07T07:33:00.000-05:00

Siddharth will write the notes in the new class on his own, i heard this from him when he was in bhoomi, but never thought it will give me so much of happiness.

Siddharth wrote this note in the class today...

While on our journey to GOA, last week. He wanted to run the trolley on his own. This was the first time on a travel that Siddharth took a Backpack of his own goodies..

हम जो चलने चले चलने लगे रास्ते
जीवन के यह रास्ते....

Bhoomi Se Ambar!

2010-03-29T09:51:00.001-06:00

Siddharth made this set with the help with Gaggi Mammu
