Happy 18th Princess!!

 Dear Princess,

Welcome to adulthood! :)

Watching you grow has been the single most exciting journey of my life. The way you have evolved and thrived through every phase is nothing short of a movie—part thriller, part rom-com, and part fairy tale.

From your crazy early travel schedule—collecting 25 boarding passes, logging 4,000 kilometers on trains, and covering 1,000 kilometers on the road before you even turned four—to exploring the world with me again over these past two years, you’ve always been an adventurer. Look at the trail of school memories you've left behind: NHG, KKB, Inventure, and now Riverside Prague. Look at how your big dreams have evolved—from wanting to be an FBI detective, a fashion designer, an author, and a psychologist, to finding your calling in education. You went from dreaming about changing the world to taking steady, beautiful steps to actually make an impact.

Through all these years, I have grown to love you not just as my daughter, but as a person. It is an absolute joy to watch your kindness and compassion for others, your enthusiasm for finding happiness in simple things—a favorite song, art, a beautiful sunset (or the occasional sunrise, if you happen to catch one!)—and, of course, your quick wit and sense of humor (even when it’s directed at me!).

With every step and every change, we’ve created a lifetime of stories together. This past year has been exceptionally special—just the two of us making Prague our home and getting ready for your next big leap to college.

As I sit here tonight while you’re out with your friends, watching the house grow quiet, I get a gentle glimpse of what "empty nest" life will feel like & yeah it isnt as fun as I imagined. My heart, though, is filled with pride and joy for the young woman you have grown up to be. Go chase your dreams, make your mark, and build a life you love. I’ll be right here in your corner always, cheering you on every single step of the way.

Here is to making more memories, laughing till it stomach hurts and annoying each other some more

Cheers!!

Mumma

First Accident

You, my princess, are a creative soul, a classical dancer and a chatter box:)

the best in everything you do.

What you are not ..is an active sports person.

So when I got the news that you fell down and have hurt your hand, my first thought was of  surprise instead of worry.

How can a kid who doesn't run around unnecessarily, fall down and got hurt badly.

Apparently an innocuous game of hide and seek and running to hide resulted in a fall on concrete and caused the hand to be slightly bent.

I had no idea how bad it was because I was out of town.

So I came to know the xray results on phone and it was confirmed to be a break and bend of bone.

I came back and next morning we had to get admitted to hospital for a procedure to straighten the bone.

The previous night became a nightmare not because it was hurting but because of anticipation of pain next morning :)

Next morning in hospital also the anticipation of pain was more than pain itself.

After the general anesthesia and small procedure in OT, when you were resting in Post Op area and slowly coming back to senses you uttered the first words which were music to my ears 

"Mumma, I love you"

I was on seventh heaven and pleased that everything was fine.

You were brave enough to go to school the next day itself, with the intention of showing off the cast to your friends and have them write on it.

Bad - you were in a cast for 4.5 weeks and you missed your annual performance of Bharatnatyam 

Good - we had so much fun getting the cast autographed by friends, having mumma to bathe you everyday and help with clothing 

Best - We learnt that anticipation of pain is worse than pain itself.

Here is to Bring Brave and have fun in adversity 

Cheers!!!

my first and best farewell

 my first farewell was a huge surprise!!

first my friends gave me salt water to make it feel magical.(i did not know what was happening)

then they told me SURPRISE!! i was so sad leaving them so i started to cry....

My Passion : DANCE

My dance academy's 5th annual day of Bharatnatyam and kuchipudi was on 10th Feb, 2019.

I feel good that since 5 years, I am dedicated to my passion, the dance.

My learning journey of dance started in 2014, with Bharatnatyam. Although Kuchipudi, I started, only in 2018. I have also enrolled in Mohini Attam dance form since few months.

I got a memento for completing 5 years of training in Bharatnatyam and I am feeling great about it.

I am very grateful to my dance teacher for teaching me dance so patiently and sweetly.

Also, thanks to my mother who supports me in getting dressed up for every performance.

In the last year, I performed in public forums also, like Jagriti theater, forum mall and Ayyapa temple.

This trophy is an achievement for me and I am more dedicated to my dance now.

Original Joke by Prashasti Geet

I had made a  joke once. I would like to tell them to you. They might not be as funny as the other jokes are, but I am sure they are funny enough.

• DON'T POKE YOUR NOSES INTO OTHERS BUSINESSES: you shouldn't poke your noses into others businesses because if the business has a door and if you try your noses into others businesses then your nose will become flat. But if the business doesn't have a door then while you try to poke your noses into others business you will fall down.

I hope you enjoyed the joke.

The story of my SST teacher

my SST teacher is, how I feel, very unique. she repeats the same thing again and again and still scolds us for wasting the period.

Today she was scolding a boy for some reason for ten minutes repeating the same thing. And again at the end of the period she scolded us for wasting the period.

I think there are easier ways to scold the person like:

• give them a simple punishment that they will follow without arguing.
• write his/her parents a dairy note and ask him/her to bring the parents sign.

And we should also not give them a very bad punishment that they start crying.

I hope that in 6th grade we don't have the same SST teacher.(Even though it is not possible to have the same  teacher).

The DOSA SMILE

Mumma came back from office stressed and you created a stress buster.

A Dosa with a smile:)

God Bless you and dosa:)

When you smile at me world seems all right:)
