Father’s day

There are advertisements all over the paper and in the news about Father’s day.

How can we dedicate only a single day to our Parents…. Will it be justice to dedicate only one day to show them how much we love…?

I feel proud of my parents… They make a vision of our success… and they have accomplished ….. Many bows to you Mummy Daddy….

My mom always wanted me to work so she took the responsibility of growing Siddharth with her so that I can work…It was not the responsibility she took, it was those initial challenges in growing Siddharth and never made me aware of a single hard thing they have faced during that time…

I could not get the job in my field for almost five months, they were in constant touch with me for any luck on job but never realized me that how fast they wanted that I should get back to work..

I was just thinking of the days, Daddy scolded me when i was not helping Mummy into her household work…. but that scolding gave me a power of never give up for anything…

I grew up in a very healthy and love filled home…. They provided me everything I needed at that time and the good reason for my unimportant wishes…

I love and respect them throughout my life for the simplicity and honesty they have given me in inheritance…

We all siblings started our journey from cycle to car… my younger brother was planning to buy a car now when i suggested him to call Daddy for the same, that’s one of the way you can celebrate with them…

I always believed into sharing small happiness with my parents… to make them happy and great……. Not waiting for this 3rd weak start day of the June .

I read somewhere that the only relationship on this earth not based on mutual benefit is the relationship with the parents…..

We love you Mummy Daddy!

Phone when mobile.......

Siddharth passed his urine on my mobile phone… Mobile phone was lying on the bed and he did it on the bed... The phone was dead along with all the data in it…

Few friends no i remembers by memory… When daddy came to know about this he told me not to buy a new handset as he has just blocked his phone.. i can use his handset..

The no in Dad’s phone was Punjab number, it almost took one month time to get it blocked and to shift my no on it…

This one month was more peaceful for me without the mobile, I never felt handicapped though people around me were bit annoyed, because at certain times they were unable to reach me…

Somehow i am not convinced of carrying mobile every time with me… there are benefits also but it is a nuisance when a credit card or a personal loan company calls you when i am in some important conversation with Siddharth, he is sleeping in the afternoon…..

Life was cool without any phones, i wish I could get back those days……

Noi Cutie Pie!!

Noi Baby ab baby se baba ho gaya hai… Most of the time he will lok at my dress and say mamma aap bade achee lag rahe ho... If i just smile back him he will say mamma thank you bolo....
If you are just sitting and doing nothing he will come to me and ask me in a concerned tone Mamma kya hua....
Yesterday evening I was upset about my car as I hit the it in the pillar while parking, there was so much of space but I was absent minded… I amnever like this.. I am careful about the things around me ….. That’s the reason which made me upset..

He came to me Mamma kya hua, aapko TV dekhne … I said no bachha I am just thning about the car… then he put his little hands over my shoulders and said, mein appe lye paani lata hoon.. he went to the kitchen and then came back.. Mamma aap aayo he holded my finger ….. took me to the kitchen and asked me for a galss of water and then said piyo paani piyo..

Then he took me to his play room and said Mamma hum puzzle banaye….

I was just looking at him and thinking is it the Noi … my small baby….

Siddharth and Tiger!!

On the weekend of Good Friday we visited ramnagar and Corbett National Park…

The place we stayed was good, one day before to good Friday was an election day in delhi, every other car you see was having the delhi number.. it created so much of rush there that the entry to the Corbett park became difficult…

After spending four hours at the office of the forest department we got the tickets…
The Kosi river was just flowing at a distance of one kilometer from the cottage we were staying…

We had a great time at the river, we sat on the stones and let the water flow beneath us.. Siddharth was initially scared of putting is feet in the water.. i made him sit in my lap then told him to put his feet in the water, and made sure to him that mamma will not leave him, ... within very short time he got comfortable and sat alone on the stone….

There was one stone which was inside the water, the flow was very high there, i challenged Vivek to go onto the stone… he did that … it is amazing of him to go inside the water….
Next day early morning we started our journey to the Corbett Park… we were in the canter… At one the canter was stopped on a very height of the river to show us the animal if they come to drink water.. We saw the crocodile…

When we were going back to the canter, Siddharth fall down and there was a blood on his face, I picked him and got scared to see two holes in between the chick and lips… This was the first experience of us and Siddharth… the blood was flowing continuously… Somehow by putting cold water sugar I was able to make the blood flow stop, Siddharth was asking me Tiger dekhne chalo, we all were amazed on his bravery….

We were in the middle of the jungle, where we could not get any first aid , hoping for some car to get so that we can go back to the ramnagar and take Siddharth to the doctor… and our prayer were answered, a gypsy was coming on the opposite route.. we reached Ramnagar… and got Siddharth treated from the doctor, he was fine no stitches were made…

I was wondering that how early these kids forget everything, he was in the water on the same evening, playing with boats and wanted to do the hand gliding…

He was okay till the time they set the hand glider, at the last moment he said I will go with mamma.. That was not possible as i was not trained.. so I did the hand glider with a trainer…. It was a great feeling to be in sky like a bird…. The most amazing thing was acknowledgement and Siddharth telling everyone Mamma ne hand gliding ke thee…

On the way back we showed Siddharth termite house, a small meeting with the monkeys, a visit to the fields of golden wheat( Kanak deeyan baliayan)……

With all these long and sweet memories we are back home…………………

Siddharth is full of actions again... when he looks at pictures he will say mujhe chot lagi thee.. lekin paani mein mazza aaya.. phir chalo... corbett jungle.......

Enjoying Togetherness!!

A small girl walking on the railing at inner circle of CP made my day on one morning going for the course in Lead Auditor for the food safety management system …..

I lowered the glass of my side window said to her in Hindi bahut ache... She gave me a big smile, I waved at her, I could see from my side mirror she waved back at me and a twinkle in her eyes… I wish I could have camera. She made my day..
Next day I took my camera, but she was not there…

The whole process of doing the course was like going back to the college days…..I really enjoyed each and every moment from going early in the morning driving car on the NH 8, reaching at CP in 27 min and amazing victor by sharing this with him to the seeing of airplane landing and taking off from a very close distance …..It is so exciting.

The most happening thing to this course was the trainer my friend, Chinu mere dukh sukh ka saathi… Few days were tough in managing Siddharth, since after Jan this was the first time he went to the day care, Mamma aap roj roj kahaan jate ho… I sat with him and explained him about the training, about the hotel and now if I ask him Siddharth mamma ko course kaun see massi karwati hai he will say very cutely Chunu massi.. and we both will laugh ….

Mona my sweet friend, also did the course with me, first day when she was near the building and she called Chinu on phone to know the address, I was so excited to meet her that I told Chinu I will go and get her here…

My heart was beating meeting Mona after so many years, and there she was ek dum suki patli as she was always…

All five days Mona and me sat together, did our assignments together, writing with the pen, ate together and did the shopping together at CP on the last day….

A friend is the most precious thing on this earth, you don’t pretend for anything in front of them.. Both of them tried hard to make me convince to buy a kurta of their own choice and ended up helping me in selecting the kurta of my choice….

May GOD bless our friendship with many more moments of togetherness and bless them with happiness in their own space of life!!!!

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!!
