Thoda hai aur Thode ki hi Zaroorat Hai !!!

Thoda hai aur Thode ki hi Zaroorat Hai.....We have enough but always long for more (Kind of Thoda hai Bahut ki Zaroorat Hai), and in our pursuit of the worldly, materialistic pleasures, we always miss the small things in life, around us. 

Few months back, I was talking to my brother in law on his B'day and my views on that conversation are hunting me till today, so thought to make it way on my Blog. We were just in general talk, how we used to celebrate B'days  10-15 years back. We always use to enjoy simple pleasure of Life. Life was so simple and  the more I think on this, the more I realize the simplicity of life we had back then in 90s. People were not as sophisticated as today. Having a decent job, a house and a good Husband/ Wife was everyone’s ultimate dream. It was a time when getting a government job was considered as a big achievement. A time when having a TV at home was a luxury, but having less option on channels to watch. And then new era of Computers and Internet and mobile phones was introduced with less connectivity with everyday life. There was time to connect with friends and family, Life was little stressful and easy going. But desire was not less and it was always grown to achieve more.

Not that things are not good now. In fact, I would say things have changed for better and we live in a much better society now. Our generation is more ambitious, more confident, high flying with better opportunities, better lifestyles, more comfortable living. I will say, in a way, life has settled into a sort of a routine. There is always something to do, and there isn’t enough time. At the same time, there is always a feeling that not enough is being done. Every single person is running to get one and other thing or to achieve goal in Life and in that,somewhere we forgot to see Happiness in small things.

Life is indeed beautiful, and lets enjoy each moment of it... and let's be satisfy with whatever little we have :) 

With Lots of Love ♥♥♥

After Long Time - Some Random Writing

Haven't blogged it since so long time and was been away for a long now from this space…Reasons are many. Sometimes, just did not feel like putting anything on these webpages, sometimes lack of zeal, sometimes busy bee, sometimes responsibility holding me…but I think enough of excuses, will try to update this space like before. After one have kids, priorities in life does change. There is no ME TIME around me. Having 8 years old and 3 years toddler, makes me super busy every now and then. But no complaints, I enjoyed being with them. This year summer 2015 was way too good. I was having vacation for 3.5 months from work with kids summer break and we enjoyed every bit of it staying together and having fun. We enjoyed visiting different parks nearby almost all summer around. We played, played and played until we were out of energy. Visiting our community park every day was must. I really had good summer break this year. Well there is more to write, more to share, but I guess will update on that part later. Would like to note down some random rambling from my girls before it get vanished out of my mind.

~ My little one Aaryana, is super naughty and keeps us on toes, very active and keeps everyone active around her. When we really want her to do something and someone from us will hold her and she starts screaming Bachav, Bachav, Bachav...(Help, Help, Help) help me, leave me. pls pls pls. She screams in such a way that If anyone from outside listen to her screaming will really fell sorry for her, or might think that what the hell they are doing with poor child. Once we were in restaurant with so many friends with their family. She was running around and I was worried that she might bumped with anyone walking around in restaurant as it was very busy, Daddy hold her tight and tried to play with her and he pulled her up side down. and there you go she starts screaming loudly Bachav Bachav...Help Help...and I was hiding my face as everyone was looking at us.lols...such a embracing moment that was.

- She can't pronounced YELLOW. instead she will say Lallow and we all loved that. All she knows now is colors, all of them, but when it come to Yellow, she will say Lallow. :)

~We all love to have pachan goli(small balls made up with jeera powder and tamarind) and she loves that very much. few days back.

Aaryu :- enjoying her balls which daddy gave her to eat.

Me:- Watching TV and ask her, can I have some pls,

Aaryu :- (with open mouth and both hands empty showing it to me) Finish Mumma.

Me- How come its finish, you just got right now. Where r they ?

Aaryu ;- Showing her Tummy and says it ws very Yuummmyyy :)

loved her expression over here , I wish I could have recorded it., hard luck.

There is so much in mind and so much to note down, I wish I get time soon and can update this space.

Few Pic Collage back from Summer 2015. there is more, but for now, this is it.

Letter for Ananyaa on her 7th B'day

Today my sweet little girl, my first born turns seven which is very hard to digest for me. How time flies! How is it possible that it’s already 7 years since I became a mum?!? She is now big and mature girl. Mommy would like to write letter to her as she reads now.

 Dear Ananyaa,

Mommy and Daddy and Baa at home is so proud of you in all little things you do for all of us at home, Playing with Aaryana to cleaning her Mess with yours, helping mommy and Grandma. I feel so blessed when I see you playing with your Little sister, making her laugh. Mommy keeps shouting not to jump on bed, but you both don’t listen and still jump, jump and just jump making me crazy. And that giggle of your and Aaryana is so contagious. You and Aaryana were meant to be sisters- she reserves a special laugh that's only for you- the two of you love to roll around on your bed together just laughing, laughing, laughing...  I have no doubt that you will be the best of friends too!!  I know you love dancing and Singing. I love your craziness when you sings your favorite songs loudly while watching them. Mommy loves to take your picture and I must say you are my Posy Girl. You love to give different poss, while taking picture. You love your BFF Rachel the most, Your School talk starts from her and ends on her. I love your bonding with her and wish to see both you and Rachel grow together in Life. 

You are our Soul. Since you came into our world, you have had an effect on me and Daddy, which is impossible to put it in words. It was you that gave our family-tree roots. You changed me from a girl into a woman. You made me a mother, a gift so precious. My love is immortal for you Ananyaa. You make us laugh, you make us proud, you make us happy and you make us angry sometime too. You know, you have been blessed with everything you need in life to succeed and find happiness. This World is a Beautiful, Amazing and Challenging place to be. Live each day with scene of right gratitude and Life will honor you every way. I always want you to choose right path in life, and I know it’s hard to decide at times for right and wrong. I know you will even learn from your failure too. No matter what Mommy and Daddy will be at your side always and forever. Daddy is always your King and ou will be always princess for him. You share special bonding with Daddy. You will not listen to me, but always listen to him, which sometimes makes me go crazy :)

I love you which I tell you every day, no matter if I am shouting on you. As you are getting older I know I am more of a shouty mummy, and I promise you I will try to be this kind of mummy as little as possible, I know neither of us likes that mummy. I know your granny is always worry more than me for you, She sometime go crazy but you love her the most. Thank you for giving that 6 second hug to me and Daddy when we really needed, Thanks for letting me Kiss and cuddle you every time my big baby, Thanks for loving Aaryana and making her calm when she gets wild for IPad. Thanks for Loving your Baa. Thanks for being you Ananyaa. Always stay blessed and Happy.
