Visit to the Roots!!

Last week along with Siddharth I went to Punjab, there was a marriage in the family, my Bua (My father’s sister) son was getting married.. He moved to UK two years back, and was having an affair with this girl, first love marriage in my Dad’s family…

I had great fun, this is the only time you can meet all your cousins and other relatives.. and everyone is excited by my enthusiasm, putting them together at one place for the sangeet and dhol… we had great time till midnight…
Siddharth was quite excited at the marriage, but he didn’t liked the Dj music .. mamma mere kaan mein dard ho raha hai, aapki awaz nahi sun rahi ghar chalo.. I really appreciate the way he is so clear and honest at expressing his thoughts…

After the marriage, we were at home in sangrur.. all the days Siddharth was in the water in the bucket, he had the great fun in the water.. he was not at all coming out of the water bucket.. mom was wondering how has he managed his way with the bucket…
I was more close to Siddharth in the last few days, as there was nothing to distract us, I was enjoying talking of Siddharth sitting in the rickshaw, and he is more cute when he puts his finger on my cheeks and says Mamma aap bade cutie pie ho…

Sangrur is an amazing place, as it is a small city, you can roam in the whole city by sitting on a paddle rickshaw, there are trees outside our home, animals gazing in the street..

Har ek chera apna sa lagta hai… har ek awaz mujhe bulati hai…
Har ek jagah un bite dino ke yaad dilati hai……….

Lekin Kyoon?

This is what siddharth , asks in each and every time a day....

Papa: Siddharth wear your socks, else you will feel cold.

Siddharth: Lekin kyoon

Papa: Thand lag jateegee, samajh nahi aa rahi tanu..

Siddharth: kyoon, kyoon pahna rahe ho....

Siddharth will go to his room and play with his toys and sometime just make a pile of books, if you go and see, he will say Mama go and do your own work..... on hearing this you just forget everyting and don't feel like stopping him from doing wrong..... we will ask Siddharth Lekin Kyoon...

Another is , he spells all the words in a different way,

Bata is taba, Pazami is zmami, lifafa is flafa, namak is manak, batayo is taabyo , salame is samale ...

Lekin kyoon.............

Little Santa's day Out!!

dil hai chota sa, choti see asha!!

Just opposite to my office is a school, the kids playing there reminding me that I have grown up and cannot go to school now…

There is some construction happening at the school, a girl in the few laborers was playing with the basket ball and working on a sand mixer … she was doing both the things simultaneously... I could see the joy on her face when she was playing the basket ball …

Life is the same, there are so many things which we wanted to do which gives joy as the play of basket ball, I wanted to serve the poor kids and mothers, list of books i want to read, list of songs, write more on the blog, make many more teddies, chill out in the sun … but there is a sand mixer in our life, who pulls us more and more towards it … so many times many of the pending things gets completed on the weekends, cannot speak or write to the friends, cannot make any visit to the elders…………………………

Beauty is if we can also get some joy out of the play of the basket ball and work on the sand mixer…………………………………..

New Stacking Drums!!

I got all the pulses for the food, as i finished putting them in different container. Siddharth came and wanted to sit on the kitchen slab…

He was sittingon the slab, GOD knows from where he gets ideas, he started stacking all the container, last one was so difficult, but he started again and placed them nicely as per size…

Bachoon ke nazuk hathoon ko asmaan choo lene do.....

do char kitabein pad ke yeh bhi hum jaise ban jayaanee...

Hide and seek!!

Now a days, siddharth locks himself into different things, carton, almirah, this time it was a big poly bag....

Go Forward!!

These two words meant a full life to me, when I was doing the river rafting at the Great Ganga River…

The trip to the Rishikesh has unfolded so much of hidden talents in us…. The journey started on Friday October 13, 20006

I, siddharth and vivek along with one of my friend from US went in our red swift. …

We reached Har ki pauri (Ganga) in the night 1.00 clock, the water in the Ganga was chilled ….the scene was beautiful and good thing was there was no one so I could mange to do the photography…

After Ganga darshan we moved toward the Rishikesh… and a big reindeer came in front of the car, I was driving the car and it was too dark, could not do anything applied the brakes, the reindeer fell on the bonnet of the car, stood up and moved into the jungle…. The bonnet got damaged...

The road to Rishikesh from Haridwar passes through a Raja ji national park and the road is the passage to the animals, this sign board we could see in the light while on the way back from Rishikesh…

We reached to Rishikesh (Glass house) in the night … spend one day at the Ganga beach… amazing place, just go and relax….

Next day was the rafting day, river rafting in the Great Ganga River, It starts from a point eight km above the Glass house (marine point) and take you down to the Rishikesh….

We started from the Shiv puri, vivek did the first eight km and I drove the car down the hills first time in my life and that with siddharth sitting on the other seat.. Thanks to him he co-operated so well..

Siddharth was also wanted to do the river rafting…. It was my turn to sit in the raft, I was really scared …I was sitting on the front, the first rapid (a place where the stones are up in the river so makes the turbulence of water very high)

My raft was welcomed by a big wave of water, my heart was sinking, but then the two words from the trainer go forward brought my mind back and we crossed he rapid successfully …. I shouted with joy and feeling great to overcome the obstacles on the way….

Life is also the same, comes with the obstacles but the moment we choose to be Go forward , we can overcome the obstacles……………then we say it was nothing…..

Every experience you have is designed to make you stronger….

Siddharth's Space!!

This year on children day , i thought of gifting Siddharth a complete make over of his room. At the door, Siddharth is welcoming by a clap, this picture was taken when siddharth clapped for the first time....

On the door handle is the dolphin, be careful kat legee......


Teddy's corner and Pin board.....................Find a way or make a way!!



BookShelf and Flip Chart, new world to know and understand...Tweety on the right wall and his favourite puzzle corner....The room became so beautiful, it is now the favourite room of house....

Inspiration from the quote on 14th Nov.: Whatever you teach a child, whether it is through your words or through your actions, lives on forever in his or her heart....

Stay in the box & Think out of the box!!

Siddharth found one empty carton in the house, and tried to get in and enjoyed so much...
I was shooting him, somehow he did't like and stopped me from shooting... but i could manage to some shots:

Shopping at MG Road!!

Supreme court in delhi has given orders for the sealing of the shops at the MG road , Delhi…

My favourite shop Maya Toys of puzzles for siddharth is also sealed I was feeling very sad about the fact, they have sealed it because of unauthorized area.. who has made it autorised ? The poster hanged on the wall explains the situtaion….

When I came down the road , few memories came across my mind, five years back when we shifted to Gurgaon and wanted a dining table for our home , me and vivek has really serached a lot on this road… few days back my younger brother bought me the hidesign bag that shop was also sealed ….

A Sardarji was selling his painting by sitting on the road….. I thought of buying one from him, honestly none of the painting attracted me so much.. ...

I don’t know how long it take for the re open of the seal… we can go again and buy puzzle for siddharth…….
