Memorable May !!!!





Happy B-day Dada !!! Praying for your soul to rest in Peace - Amen.

No matter what, you are around us and with us. When I was crying that day and mourning for ur loss, Rits says, why are we all crying, We need to celebrate your Life as you lived your life happily and truly. Just pray for his soul to rest in peace.

Little Bit, from here and there :)

Last weekend was busy busy at home. Went to house warming ceremony at Friends place, where kids had lot of fun running and playing together. Happiness was to see bunch of friends together, eat good food and played garba for a while as well. It was great fun. 

My favourite month is April is almost ending. I have made so many memories to remember this Month. Heading towards May and weather is still cold. It’s raining since last 2 days and going to rain next 2 days in row. Aaryu fell sick again and so as me. She is having stuffy nose and fever. And me I am scratching my ear, nose and throat….looks like I am goona get sick again, which I don’t want to. God please save me from this weather.

Did some cycling on Monday. I was very excited to learn from preet, as I thought that I forgot, how to do cycling. But no, I am proud on myself that, I know how to do it. Looking fwd to have hot days where I can go for cycling with Ananyaa. I tell you, to do cycling after 15 years is not easy job. I was happy that I knew it, but was not happy after I got pain in my shoulder and back and Arms. My whole body was aching. But it was good experience...Oh did I say, Aaryana Love her new tri-cycle. She is very happy to ride. When I am taking her for ride, she don't want to go back inside home. She loves out door. She don't know hoe to paddle, but the have foot rest on it and that helps her to just sit and we can push her with handle. :)
Never got chance to post pictures on Blog from our trip to Ripley fish Aquarium. Did post some on FB and G+. Will try to link over here as well. It’s beautiful place to visit. Again it’s not only for kids, but it is for all age group people.

Took Aaryana for Ear piercing, as she took out her right ear earring while sleeping. It was delayed since last 2 month. Finally we done that today. She cried little bit, but was ok after she got lolly pop from there. She was again happy girl of mine. Ear pearsing was a big task for me. 

Ananyaa got selected in her class for cultural program at her school which is on May 23, 2014. Looking fwd to that date. I have to make her learn something IMP, which represents Gujarat and as of now nothing comes in mind except Garba J .

I have not gone to garden Galley to get plant, which I suppose to go last week. It was way too busy at home and I was working as well, and weather is not that good this whole week so postpone that plan till next week. Ananyaa keep asking be about it and I feel bad as I can’t keep my words this time.

 Spoke to Brother In low today morning and he was in Hospital at surat as Dada is admitted. I pray that he get well soon and I can speak to him on phone. He is ICU and he is not allowed to talk on phone. I feel bad when came to know that he got poked in his neck to get Immunization as her vain in hands were week. It’s so hard to imagine how he was going through all this. I wish to see dada in Happy and cheerful in coming days. He got permanent pacemaker today as his heartbeats were getting low. Hope he do well in coming days. Get well soon Dada.

Election fever is India these days. I saw many people post their pic after they vote. Glad to know that people are being aware and going to vote, and why not, one should vote as it’s our right and responsibility too. Most of the people in Gujarat is in favorer of BJP (bhartiya Janta Party ), leading by Narandra Modi. He is in race for Prime Minister for this year. Hope he become one and we can see new India. This year election slogan was Chahe Jo bhi Ho, “Abki Bar, Modi Sarkar “

Always

Seriously, not only girls, but I miss you too daddy, come home soon....I know, we do talk on phone every day and we do face time almost everyday, but still, can't wait to see you next week. Ananyaa was talking to you on face-time before she left for school on Friday and on her way she say's, mumma when he is coming, its long long time now, and shivukaka's wedding is over now. (aaju hoon kerta che daddy, does he want to come back to us or not ) I miss daddy, and when I told her that he is coming next weekend, she started counting days. Today she say's it's 7 days more for daddy to come.....for Aaryana, she is just keep saying dadda dadda, when she see your pic in our bedroom and when I ask her, where is daddy, she point out her finger to I-pad, as these days, she only see's you on I-pad on face-time. For Hansa mum, she is enjoying her freedom from kitchen, she is happy as she has to cook less food these days...he he he......I tell you, I am missing you only for one thing and that's our everyday fight :) and I know it's goona continue as soon as you are back. and that song is specially for you....Miss You & Love You...

Congrats to Newly Wedded Couple - Mr & Mrs. Shivang Parikh.


Their Wedding is over and finally they are Mr. & Mrs. Congrats to Happy Couple on their Wedding Day. Everyone  in family enjoyed their wedding in person and we, Me, Rima and Ronakbhai and I guess Shivang's mama (Hiteshmama) enjoyed their wedding on cell ph at What's app...looking at every updates.

I was feeling great to see Rit's to be there to celebrate Shivang's Wedding with all of them. Before I was sad, as I can't make it to attained his wedding. It's true we can't get everything we want. things do go other way around, and we need to make best with whatever we can and that's what we did. I guess same feelings apply for Ronak side too, he is in US with H1 visa and he didn't got off for his brother wedding, which was sad part, but Shree was there to make it best on his behalf. It was not me, but my better half enjoyed Shivang's wedding.....Feeling Happy :)   

Wedding come and go, but the memories remain forever. May the memories of joy, happiness, hope and love, you share today with all will ever remain fresh till eternity.Once again Congratulations and Best Wishes for just married, newly wedded, happy couple, Shivang and Payal :). Payal welcome to Family. Have a Happy Life a Head.

Lots of Love

Wedding - A Celebration of Love, Food and many Emotions

A marriage is a once in a lifetime ceremony in which not only vows, but also two families are shared between a man a woman tying knot. And if marriages are made in heaven, then wedding rituals are celebrated and followed on Earth by family members, with Mehndi, Haldi, Sangeet, Sanji geet, and arrival of Barat, Jaimala and Mangal Phera and Saptapadi and Vidai, Reception. It says, that an Indian wedding is a perfect blend of traditions.The unbound love and the flow of emotions of all the family members have to be seen to be believed it. Wedding is all about Happiness, Music, Dancing and Enjoyment.

People of Gujarat (India) love good food, sweets and colours in their life. Specially ladies use to have colourful clothes and beautiful jewellery. Ahhh why am I writing this....yes as I am going to miss one more wedding in my family, or may be I am missing all the fun to be there with all of them. It's Rit's cousin bro Shivang's Wedding in India by end of this year. I know I am miles away (saat samander par), but like I see all preparation for wedding almost everyday on Whatsapp on cell ph. and I wish I could be part of this wedding too. But it's hard for me to be there. It's ok, we won't get everything everytime, but I am happy that atleast my better half is attending this wedding. He is so excited for his trip to India, specially for wedding, and for that he is gonna give surprise to all of them. No one know's about it so far. I know everyone will be happy to see him, specially Dada. For keeping his surprise secret, I only know, how many times I lie to how many people. at the end I was not having no excuses to show off, why me or him, or kids are not attending this wedding...too bad Rits.(all for u). 


His flight tickets were booked by end of June, may be he is the first one to make his flight reservation, but he kept secret, as he want to Surprise them all and I hope he success to do so. Shivang's and Rit's is flying on same date Dec17, 2013. Shivubhai from New Jersey and Rit's from Toronto and their change flight is at London and I guess they are gonna meet over London Heathrow Airport Lounge only. I am excited about this part and looking fwd for his journey to India on Dec 17th ,2013. May be he might see them all at Mumbai Airport....Excitement is on High note.... Ananyaa already started missing daddy, before he is gone....before daddy leave, she is asking, when will he be back, and I said in New Year. Now I am praying that she won't ask daddy on 1st Jan 2014....lolz. Have a safe and fun filled Trip Rit's. We all will Miss u....

All and all, I am gonna miss one more wedding in Family. I am little sad on that note, but Happy for Bride and Groom as they are starting their new life full of excitement, a roller coaster ride. And my sincere Best Wishes for them. Payal welcome to Parikh's Family very soon, where you will get only happiness with love and affection. 

Always and Always,

Anu

Thanksgiving Weekend...



I did wanted to write about it last weekend only, but didn't get time on it. We always wanted to visit chirag, Rits cousin bro in Cleveland Ohio since so long. Before also we planned our trip and then canceled it as Rit's didn't got day off and was busy. But this thanksgiving we have made it. It was kind of small family reunion for all of us. Rits other 2 cousin bro Ronak & Shivang join us too. they traveled from New Jersey and us from Canada. 3 days were pretty fast to go by. We left with argument from home only as I didn't want to travel with 2 kids. but Rits was not ready to leave any one of them behind, and it was win win situation for him to take them with us.

We reached there on Thursday, and it was long journey for kids. they were tired and so am I, as I didn't get the sleep night before. Rit's and his Cousins went to have a sneak peek on Black Friday deals. By the time they came, we were all in our dreamland. Nita woke up early as she was having Bus at 9.00 am to Cincinnati. and we planed our day, as everyone want to go for shopping, so we all went to Mall in Cleveland, Ohio. It was hectic day...and I tell you there is no shopping with kids. Aaryana was very tired, as her sleep was disturbed and was giving hard time, that was the reason I don't want to take her. Ananyaa got bored easily. Still to entertain them, we make her do Jumping jack in mall and had christmas train ride. which was quite exciting.

We all end up day with having Dinner at Indian restaurant named Tadka. Food was Good and tasty. We all enjoyed it. Next day was time to leave back. I was having some if's and but for not check for shopping for certain stuff, but i guess it's ok. Women never get satisfied with shopping. :). We packs our bag and make things ready to leave the Hotel.

It was nice get together for all of us before Shivang's wedding. It was nice meeting to chirag after such a long time, same for Ronakbhai as well. Best wishes for him to start his future in USA. Best wishes for Chirag and Best Wishes for Shivubhai for Wedding...which I am gonna miss again.

On way, went to check for Duty free shop, and as usual, I got mad to buy some watch. And Rits some Whisky for his friends. He don't drink, but like to make other happy serving one :) And finally stuck at the Canada Border for 1 hour. It was very busy due to thanksgiving weekend in USA.



And that weekend left with Happiness in Mind...It was refreshing weekend....I guess for all of us :)

And Finally She Moved...

Yes Neelam, Good Friend and One of Good Neighbor moved from our neighborhood to different country for better Life with her 3 Kids and Husband. They Moved to SanFrancisco, US as her husband got new job over there.

It's been 4 years I know her, I moved to new place in 2007 and She as well. we meet, became friends and today she left us behind with lots of Sweet memorries to cherish forever. I guess this is how Life is. People come and go for certain reason, and she moved too with heavy heart and with new hope. I wish her Good Luck in all she do. It's is so painful to see our loved one going far from us, tears were rolling round my face last night, yes I was crying as I will miss her, I will miss our daily chitchat for anything and everything, for her beautiful Jewellery, My Ananyaa will miss Ryan & Ronak....there are so many reason to miss her family. In these last 4 years, we were there for each other to share Happiness and Sorrow.....I have spent so much good times with her. and I will miss all that now. 


No Matter what's going on with her in her Life, she always carry herself with Beautiful Smile on her face like one I can see in Pic above....and I learn from her how to be happy and keep smiling in every situation....Thanks Di for Everything....

I will Miss u Di. for Sure...

Trip to US.

Yes...first time ever we made up with vacation for 10 days this Year...and that was full fun fielded...We Enjoyed and had lot of Fun.....Our trip was better then even our India Trip in 2010.We are back and It's been already a Week, Miss my vacation day's with family n friends over there.. will have to describe each day over here with pics...will do it later....as soon as I get time...

PS:-
Day 1:- July 7 We left from home in morning around 6.45 am. My baby was not happy as we were leaving her dear baa behind for 10 days. She was keep saying I will miss u baa and and hoon valli aavish (I will come back soon). We reached New Jersey at mama’s place by afternoon 3.00pm. Our journey was not bad as me n Ananyaa slept for whole time. We were Pleased to see Mama, Mami n my brother in-low. It was long due to visit them and finally we meet. All were Happy n sounds happy too. Went for makeup shopping with my mami saas n Hemali @ Revlon ware house and we really did found some good stuff over there. Ananyaa was helping Bharat dada, and making him learn how to play game on iPad2. Mama was like happily learning and next day he was playing by his own, and kind of addicted to it. 

Day 2:- Did nothing in morning as Rit’s and Shivang both were busy fixing their electronic gadgets and Ananyaa busy playing with iPad 2. She became fan of shivu kaka as he downloaded her diff games in iPad 2. In evening went for Garba for cousin wedding (Mihir & Sima). It was good to see all family members from my dad’s side. Meet most of them and it was good to see all of them together. Enjoyed being there at Garba but didn’t get chance to play as Ananyaa was really getting fussy, though we had fun. Came back from Garba and I just realize that I forgot Ananyaa’s fav pink purse which she was caring it, and there u go, Rit’s was so mad on me and keeping saying me, I not responsible person to do anything….yes anything as I forgot purse over there on Table. He was just keep going on for what not. Anyway I went back to Hall with my brother in low to check, but we didn’t found anything and came home with empty hand. Later when I called my Bhabhi she updated us that someone gave her Ananyaa’s Purse. So finally someone found it and I was Happy as it was her fav one and Gift from someone.

Later on we saw wedding movie from my brother-in-low Ronak’s wedding and that was so much fun. I was really waiting to watch it and oh my god, can’t believe everyone had enjoyed so much in wedding. And I was taking cold breath was not being part of that wedding, the one which I waited for long time. But was Happy to see all enjoying and having fun. We finished 2 CD’s. We talk about so many people and remember all of them that night. Will say each n every family member from Dada to Vraj, we missed all of them.

Day 3 july 9:- Morning and getting ready for Wedding and Rit’s started fighting with me for not having his belt for formal pant’s. Bharat mama tried hard to find one belt for him. Thank you so much for doing that. All day passed and we all were busy for greeting people and to newly wedded couple and for pic times as well. Wedding reception was in Evening and we all enjoyed lot in reception. I must say food for Lunch and in Dinner both were too good, very nice. So enjoyed that evening with People, Food, and Dance. Ananyaa was keeping everyone busy around playing hide n sick with her.

Day 4:- July, 10:- Left from Hotel to Bharatmama’s Home, after all guest who came for wedding left for Atlanta, GA, I was feeling sad to see them going. But surely it was so nice to see all of them. They had invited few friends and Family to meet up. Before that in afternoon went for shopping for Camera. Came back home buying something else and not the camera as I was confused which one to go for it. Again evening with good people, good food n Cold Drinks I was haapy to Dalu mama over there. He specially came to see us. So nice of him to do so…and too bad that we can’t make it to visit his Home….sorry…


Watched wedding movie part 3 & 4 from Ronak's wedding and again it was fun. well we were not part of wedding but upon watching movie we were like dancing when it was baaraat time. I guess everyone enjoyed in wedding but we enjoyed while watching movie. it was so much fun. Everyone was looking so beautiful. Was happy to see everyone happy over during wedding time. Hope Ronak & Shree both are enjoying their married life together. 

Day 5 & 6 :- we and Bharatmama n Mami left for Atlantic City, New Jersey, US. Went to beach and casino and Mall and Outlet Mall.. We had lot of fun, took so many pics too. Enjoyed Musical Water Fountain in Mall. In evening we went to Meghna, my Childhood Friend home. We stayed behind n my in-lows left as mami has to go for work next day. We all were up till late night just talking n talking n talking what else 2 friends can do.

Next day we all went for Zoo and then for Dolphin & Whale Watch. Meghna got good deal to go for Dolphin watch. With tickets, Pizza & Hot dogs were free to eat. Kids had fun time in zoo n at Dolphin watch to. It was hot Sunny Day, but we all enjoyed. Again we talk about our school days, we talk about people who were with us in those days, and we remember so many other people from back home too. It was fun filled day for all of us being together. Shivani & Ananyaa became friends liek their Mumma's. Ananyaa miss her when she use to paint at home. 

Day 7 :- Left Atlantic city in morning and reached back to Edison NJ. We went to see few family over here and then for litt bit shopping too. In evening we left for Jersey City to visit Hemali’s Place. Her mom prepared Chole & Parotha and that was so yummy. After dinner we went for Hoboken city of NewYork. We went to some place name Exchange Place and it was amazing. We saw New York from other side and it was Beautiful. View of NewYork city in Night was amazing. It was very late when we reach back to Edison, but will say it was worth driving to visit that place.

Day 8 & 9 :- Left for NewYork in afternoon. Got checked in at Hotel and relaxed for an Hour and then went for sightseeing. Spent evening at Times Square and I must say it’s Most happening place at Broadway of NewYork. It was amazing evening & Night that day at times Square of NewYork. Took so many pics, did so much fun and went for shopping too. Ananyaa was enjoying herself dancing and singing and playing around. Must say NEWYORK – City which never sleeps.


Next day went for Madame Tussauds Museum, and then took Ananyaa for Toy’s r Us. Went for Empire State building and then in evening went for Mary Poppins Musical hit of Broadway. Ananyaa n Daddy enjoyed Mary Poppins, and she even sings songs from the show. Need to download for her. Whole day was busy for sightseeing of NewYork. But we missed 2 Historic Place which is Statue of liberty & World Trade Centre site. Hope I will go for it next time. NewYork is Amazing, most of the time we have seen it in movie only, but I guess I witnessed Beauty of city in Night when I was there. 

Day 10 :- Time for us to pack bags and come back home. Which we were missing now. We left New York in morning and reached back to Edison NJ. There we waited to see my sister in lows parents as they were above to visit Bharatmama. When we were in India, we couldn’t meet them there, and now we are seeing each other over here in USA, will say world is so small. We had a good family time with them too. Shree’s sister Tejal and Dhwani are so nice to be. And tejal’s daughter is Sweetheart. Though it was too short,Ananyaa & Avishi really had a good time. Glad that we waited to see them. 

And finally we left from US with lots of memories to cherish forever. I must say my Brother in low Shivang was great to be around. He is master in fixing any electronics gadget and iPhone and iPad is like toy to him by now. I gave him name Shivang – The Great. J. And thanks to Mama & Mami for everything they did. Thanks mami for showing how to make soft thepla. And that Manchurian & Mexican Pizza was so yummy. And how can I forget that Mango Matho. We really enjoyed lot with all of you. 

I am still in hangover with those vacation days, we were in Edison NJ, Atlantic City & Jersey City & New York for 10 days and had beautiful bright sunny warm weather & had a nice family bonding time. it was quite an Eventful Trip and we are Happy Happy Happy Happy… 

With that Happy Note ..listen this song. Ek Doosre se Kerte hain Pyaar Hum…Ek Doosre ke liye Bekarar Hum… 

Love

Happy Women's Day...

On Women’s Day for my role Model in my Life…two amazing women’s, both mine…Mother and Mother-in-low… Note from me…
Happy Women's Day...

pic with her when I was in my teen 
My mother studied, did the housework, grew up with lots of expectation. Her mother passed away, after her marriage & she took on the mantle of supporting her brothers and sisters. Married when she was 26 to my father. It was a very happy marriage. Enough said. She wouldn’t like me to say more. My Father left her for his further Doctor studies to abroad when I was just 1.5 years old, just a baby, and then he never returns. After her in- low’s left to US she stayed behind to her Mother’s Place to take care of her younger brothers & sisters and also her   grand maa. My Father left her              with no home,      

mum with her grand daughter Ananyaa
no money and nowhere to go. And me to support. She picked her up and did whatever she can do, to give me best in my life & to make ends meet. I Grew up, I got Married and I Moved out. She did give her best to our Family with her Loving and Caring Nature without any expectation in return. She did maintain relation with each family member from my father side that they still ask for her.

Being a Single Mother, she gave me best in my Life, with baring peoples talk, and Gossips around about her personal life. I can imagine now that how hard it was for her to manage everything from my needs to all household needs. Today whatever I am or where ever I am is all because of her. She stands with me with all my bad & good times. No matter how much pain she is having in her Heart, she had never showed to anyone, not even me. She always has a smiling face and always ready to do anything for anyone.

me & Mum @ Home 
I am Married women and in my thirties now and I can Imagine my mom’s life behind when she was in her thirties. She might have had lots of desire from life, she might have had lust of her life, but where she has had to go, and what to do. I feel sorry for her. My father never looked back for her after he left her. She waited all her Life for him. My father died when he was 63. She still is surviving and helping me and people around. She’s 58. Cheerful, Busy, Runs herself her own.

Every time I see her, I am humbled. And grateful that I was born to a woman like her who might not be famous, or well to do, but has such indomitable strength of spirit that I can walk in her footsteps and booster my own. My mother is extraordinary because she is a woman of substance, faith, and loyalty. I am proud to say that I am my mother’s daughter and she is my role model…It say’s daughter always learns from Mother….


Bakulamum with both Son's Ritesh & Pranav
Another women whom I admire in my life is my Mother- in- low. She got married and was Happy with her life. Suddenly my Father- in- low passed away with Heart attack. She was left behind with 2 Son age 4.5 years & 1.5 years. She didn’t give up, to meet family needs, she got a job on compassionate grounds at the bank my father-in-low worked at. She stayed back with her parents and her brother’s who have supported her all her life. She raised both her children, facing hard times & good times of her life. She bought her
Panubahi,Rit's, Mum & Me
self a little home and lived there along with her children. Her Elder son got engaged to me. Me and she had very good times together. I still remember, when one day his son was raising voice on me for small little thing which I have not done and she was protecting me. She also told me that, I am not in relation with him yet, so I can think about to spend my life with his son. I was so amazed to hear that. Being his mom she
Mummy,Chitramami,Sandhyamami, me & Parulmami
pic from Diwali 
was supporting me. Her son got married to me after year of our engagement. We all lived happily for 3 month. She passed away with severe Heart attack, leaving us alone, and teaching so many lessons of Life. She gave me all her responsibilities and I hope I have done fair enough to fulfill it till now.

My mother-in-low is my role model tpp because she was amazingly strong, determined, and self-made. She has shown me to stand on my own feet and not be dependent on anyone for the success or failure in the life. She has taught me the importance of being women.

I truly admire both of you....both are special to our family in their own way...

Happy 100th International Women's Day to all Beautiful Women's of the World for doing small little things for their loved ones. Cheer's to Women-hood ...

With Love and More Love :-

I was in US only and we were driving back to Home. When I reached home, Mom gave new's that Gulab Mummy Passed Away....Motiba we love u...you have fight with ur cancer till your last breath.....


From February, 2009


We are deeply sad by her loss. I was remembering her when I have made it to see her in 2009 at Toccoa.  Also I have seen few of her pics on Deepa’s Blog from summer picnic, and I can see how terrible her health was due to her Cancer. At this moment she is in my Prayer. I hope her soul rest in peace, giving blessing to all of us.


I feel so bad that I could not make it for her funeral too, as I have to submit my passport to Indian embassy for my Dual Citizenship Sticker. If I won’t submit it on passed Monday then I can’t make it to my visit to India. 

I spoke to Vipulbhai & Bhabhi, and I wish, God give them strength to come over with Motiba Loss….My prayers are with them & with all of my Family too. Gulab Mummy was such a Lovely Person and has touched so many people life’s , when she was around. She will truly be missed. I will always cherish her Memory for my Lifetime.

Passed Last Weekend - was Hectic Weekend

Yes Passed Last Weekend - was Hectic Weekend for us…we plan to attend Mundan Ceremony & B’day for Kamran, at Northville, MI. USA. While we started our journey Ananyaa was all good, on the way she started iching with her nose and got Cold by the time we have reached there.  Rit’s Plan to go on Friday was that he can spend some time for shopping, which he couldn’t as I have to end up staying at Hotel....I was not even in good mood as I got news for Motiba that she is on her last stage...I spoke to Vipulbhai & say's if I wish to go there, that was the real time to see her...things didn't got workout and Ananyaa was sick too so couldn't make it to fly there.


Next Day went to Walmart & few other stores over there for shopping, evening was Mundan ceremony & B’day Party for Kamu….and it was Fun for Kids while playing….Cake was Yummy & food was Yummy too…..All guest enjoyed eating and taking to each other.

After tiring evening, we went back to hotel Room & got some problems over there & me & rit’s got Tensed….that I couldn't sleep for whole night….God please save me from that one mistake, which I have done knowingly, unknowingly…. I am really Tensed for that Today too…..
Godo Help me this time to come over with it….
