The First Game of Scrabble

I took out my old but very dear Scrabble and you were interested to play.
We played for an hour almost and your interest didnt falter even a bit in between..

But, the best part, YOU WON. The very first game you not only got the game correct you also won.
The words which you thought up and made on your own QUIL ( I let you skip an L)  WIN,MAT.
The word WIN left me speechless because there was absolutely no hint, no prompt and no help from me to put that up on the board.

Mumma got 72 points and you got 79 points.

This is also a first for me, Not sulking after loosing :)

Religious or Spiritual???

Mumma,

I want a barbie doll house.. Usme bhagwan ki bhi jagah honi chahiye....
                                                                                                       

Hmm.. we will find one or else will make one!!:)

The First PTM

Today for first time we attended your first formal school PTM.

It was full of surprises all along.

1. Prashasti has improved a lot (Big surprise since I always thought you are pretty consistent and doing ok in class generally.)

2. Initially she was slow and was not very interested. ( Oh.. I was speechless you were always so interested in finishing your homework and generally like to write and try reading.)

3. From past two weeks she has improved so much as if there was some magic. She is interested , does her work on time and is very active. ( I didn't notice any change whats so ever)

Teachers were generally full of appreciation and positive about your progress.

This was also the first time I realized that you are developing a personality of your own and a part of you is not known to me.

Hope I will enjoy this phase and will not sulk so much.

Mumma has been unfair

As they say that a mother has to teach good things to kids.
I am trying to do so by making an example.

Owning up when you make a mistake.

I have been making a mistake and been unfair to you.

Asking you to clean up the room alone when I know others contributed in making a mess there.
Scolding you for being uncouth when I know you are merely copying others and it is acceptable for them to be so.
Expecting you to behave yourself nicely when no one else is doing that.

I know this isn't fair and I promise that I will not do that again but at the same time I will also not step back in ensuring that you learn good things and avoid picking up bad habits.

Katrina Kaif Ka Mama

I have a book by Rashmi Bansal called " I have a dream". It is about some social enterprenuers.
The book is paper back and hence pages are yellowish. There are photographs of people about whom the book is.

You picked up that book, looked at one of the pictures and asked papa, do you know who he is?
Papa was half asleep and in no mood of a conversation and so he said, No, I dont know

You thought for sometime and said.

"Apko malom nahi ye Katrina Kaif ka Mama hai"

both of us rolled on the floor laughing..

and I found it so hilarious that I told everyone..
You hate me for telling this to everyone and probably will hate me for even putting it up here.

but, I will always laugh at this one..

Love
Your Mumma .....

Our Favorite Song these days

Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte

Tere bina kya wajood mera

Tujhse juda gar ho jaayenge

Toh khud se hi ho jaayenge judaa


Kyunki tum hi ho

Ab tum hi ho

Zindagi ab tum hi ho

Chain bhi, mera dard bhi

Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho



Tera mera rishta hai kaisa

Ik pal door gawara nahi

Tere liye har roz hai jeete

Tujh ko diya mera waqt sabhi

Koi lamha mera na ho tere bina

Har saans pe naam tera



Kyunki tum hi ho

Ab tum hi ho

Zindagi ab tum hi ho

Chain bhi, mera dard bhi

Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho



Tumhi ho... Tumhi ho...

Tere liye hi jiya main

Khud ko jo yun de diya hai

Teri wafa ne mujhko sambhala

Saare ghamon ko dil se nikala

Tere saath mera hai naseeb juda

Tujhe paake adhoora naa raha hmm..



Kyunki tum hi ho

Ab tum hi ho

Zindagi ab tum hi ho..

Chain bhi, mera dard bhi

Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho (x2)



This is rather slow and soft number which mostly kids wont like because it doesnt have dance beats.
Yet you like it very much and I love the clarity with which you say "WAJOOD"

Love you sonpari...

Happy Mothers Day

Dear Princess,

You  have given me a beautiful mothers day gift, though you are unaware of it, You have made me closer to my mom much more than before when she was alive.

You made me realise her pain, her kindness  her love and her worth.
You made me ask for her forgiveness, which I should have done long ago.

Having you in my life has chnaged my perspectives a lot and for better.

Thankyou Princess and Happy Mothers Day to Nani from both of us.

Love Always
Mumma.

The Imagination

Papa bought a nice automatic pencil box in which there is a compartment to keep the eraser.
To open this compartment one needs to press a small white button.
The button suddenly stopped working and Princess you were trying hard to open that eraser compartment.
After a while of struggling, you come up telling that eraser

" arey jaldi bahar aao, tum kya kapde change kar rahey ho kya?"

Princess, I am really impressed with your imagination and earnestly pray to God to keep this growing everyday.

A master story teller in making..

The Conversations..

Mumma and Princess have got some leisure time and we are just playing together, singing songs, dancing and all..
Suddenly, mumma is all lovey dovey and tell her princess

" Chottu tumne itne sweet baccha kaisey ban gaye?"

Princess : Apko pata nahi hai?? Main to pehle se hi sweety hoon.

and this accompanied by the famous look - why are you surprised look..


Love you princess, will be updating such conversations more often.
