Few people...

சில நேரங்களில் சில மனிதர்கள் தான் நம்மை ஒரு நிமிடம் திரும்பி பார்க்க வைக்கிறார்கள். Be it a person who has lost around 20 kg after delivery in a span of 6 months or Be it a person who maintains a physical fitness every time I see them or Be it a person whose thoughts have grown exponentially though he was struggling hard to study in school days or Be it a person juggling between work and home and still not cribbing any time or Be it a person who is so level headed even after lot of accomplishments or Be it a person who even at the age of 70 can lead an independent life or Be it a person who having worked in a government bank for around 20-30 years and then completely taking a new turn and joining in IT company and enjoying the new work culture and traveling around the world. The last person who I said is very special to me - He is my dad. As my cousin said , the only person in the family who has REALLY changed in the past few years is my dad. I am very proud that he could take such a bold decision at this age while I am sometimes scared to even say what I think !

New home,LO crawling....

June was a happening month. We finally moved in to our new home after lots of delay. We did loads and loads of packing/unpacking and setting up. I have set up almost 60% of our home.Here are the few pictures :)

We are getting compliments for our picture wall :) I am so happy I could do it the way I wanted it. It’s a picture pile of 3 generations of our families :)We have few furniture/appliances to buy now. We will get them one by one ;-)

The best thing about our new home is that it has good cross air ventilation. It is so good that you don’t feel the heat at all in evenings and nights :-)

The only thing I always complain to Param (I know I complain a lot) is about the occupancy of flats in our complex being very less…Less than 10%...So I kinda of feel lonely, the Mr. is optimistic things will improve by end of this year J … I never cared about the occupancy rate or any such detail when I was in US,but now I am asking for better occupancy ;)…

And Eshvar is growing up. He can now sit without any support and he crawls all over the place. I am very happy to see his changes day by day…and I cannot believe in another

4 months he is goint to have his frist birthday cake….He poses well for photographs (Guess he got that gene from me ;-)) I am yet to see a teeth, let the tooth fairy visit late…

Last week was one of the memorable weekends here. We had my cousin and his wife at our home for virunthu :). The best part was after a game of poker, we all went to our apartment park and played swing and see-saw at late night (1 am) and had whole-hearted fun …These kind of days will remain in memory forever :)

Before I finish off, let me add that the microwave oven + grill is fantastic and I am getting grasp of grilling and baking in oven….Now I can start baking J which makes me the most happiest person… I even baked an eggless cake for my amma and some butter cookies :)…LG makes very good oven :)

Birthday time :-)

Every Year on this day, I get on full swing to make cake for You-know-Who :-) But this time,As we have not still moved to our new home, I did not get a chance to bake any goodies personally for him.

We got a chance to be at my tirunelveli this weekend. So We arranged for a cake and my SIL did the decoration part...We had a small party and had good fun. I leave you with few photos

Happy birthday again my dear husband...Wishing you loads and loads of health and happiness :-)

LO,wedding,Home and more.....

I cannot imagine its already 5 months since the little one has come and time is running so fast and the LO learns a thing a day and makes our life more interesting….

He smiles so cute…I don’t think stranger anxiety has hit him till now..Gives his பொக்கைவாய் smile to anybody and everybody…Sometimes he laughs so loudly for funny faces and pranks we do that we fear his stomach hurts…

You put him at one place..After 10 minutes He is exactly in opposite direction….

He loves to watch anything that moves-from a newspaper lying around whose pages flapping to curtains moving due to breeze ...

He grasps/catches anything that is nearby or we show to him.About a month back, he did not show interest to hold, but within 15 days, he now wants to hold anything

He still loves all bright colours :-)

5 things to go for 5^th month!!

Last month we attended wedding of my cousin..My LO was center of attraction and he and we thoroughly enjoyed with my Mother in law and Mother taking turns to take care of him while I had fun with my cousins…..

When it comes to move in to new house, Its already 3 months and we still haven’t moved to new house…One thing delays the other and We both are getting annoyed by the delay..But I know, sometimes the delay is for good….उप्पेर वाला is delaying for something else….I just will wait

In all these hurry I managed to paint my storage box..The storage box belonged to my great grandmother..She lived with us during my school years…And I was so happy I could get hold of that and paint to my desire ….

Fantastic Four

This is going to be a pleasant surprise for Param.

Time for little rewinds
Time for little remembrances
Time to see how we have grown fond of each other
Time to enjoy sweet little things in life though we both have been very busy with lot of things past few months
Time to pray to God to bless this relationship even more...
And all these in 4 years .....

4 cheers to our meet-anniversary !!!

Last month was.....

I logged into the blogger after a month. Where did the last month go? I don't know...It is hard to believe that a month has flown past. Here we are slowly settling down and I am doing great...Touch wood ;-)

We had 2 quick ceremonies within 10 days of arrival here. I am glad both the naming & housewarming ceremonies went well as planned. Eshvar's naming ceremony was more like an introduction of him to my friends & relatives here... And nobody gets his spelling right (Eshvar) - even my dad ;-)

Our house warming was a simple function as our apartment was not fully ready for occupation and my dad had to travel on a business trip just before the function. Wood work is still on and soon we will be painting interiors (in colors I like). ..A Aah I love Asian paints and the designs they showed me. I am hoping we can move in by end of April . I am tired of living out of suitcase.





And my little hero has started to roll over - on back to tummy in 2 second ;-) all when he is yet to hold his head steady. He gives the most beautiful smile to everybody :-) He was also enjoying all the attention he was getting at my in laws place at tirunelveli.






All in all an eventful & brisk month.....

I will miss her

I know this would come as a surprise to her, but I just wanted to tell the world about the beautiful friendship we started sharing few years back.

We worked together in my first job. During those days,our conversation would be Hi's and bye'. Then when she came to US for her MS,it was then our friendship started.It graduated from half an hour phone calls to non stop chit chatting.Our conversation would be from day to day activities to little sandais at home to things happening in India to our work to our dreams to our wishes to our complaints.It just doesn't fit any frames. When I was working earlier, we used to IM almost every day.When she visited me to wish me the best of everything during pregnancy, it was like a sister visiting my home and having the girl talk. The best thing I like until today is that we do not pass judgments on each other.I am more frank with her than with anybody else.

If I just think of her, the first thing that comes to my mind is the kalatta vetti talk we had at small cafe in SFO. Now as I start preparing for the travel,I feel the talks with her is what I will miss the most.I know with all advancements, though we are just a phone call apart....the fact is that I will miss her !! :(

I know now I have written more like a testimonial to our friendship rather about her. But Anyway this is the best place where I could express it ...
