Silent Conversations

It has been four days in a row that we have met, since yesterday every time I called up you didn't speak for few seconds. Both of us just trying to listen to each other without speaking.

While I just hate being away from you, I love these silent conversation which only you and me understand.

All in a day...

This time the journey to Delhi was an episode of MTV Bolti Band where M is for Mumma....

In the bus which takes us to aircraft.

Geet : Mumma chips khol do
Mumma : Abhi nahi, gir jayega
Geet do you think i am fool look : Thoda sa khol do, phir nahi girega.
Mumma:|

In the flight,

Geet : My name is.....

Mumma : My name is Aradhna

Geet (repeats): My name is...

Mumma : My name is Geet, when you say my name is you tell your name.

Geet with dont you know anything look : My Name is Sheila , Sheila ki Jawani..

Mumma : :|

Enjoying the amusement I tried diverting the conversation.

Mumma : Geet, papa se baat karni hai?

Geet : Kaun se waley papa se ?

Mumma :|

I was amused, awed and embarassed all in matter of 2 hours.

Growing up with you is fun Princess:)

Mumbai Monsoons Masti

Yesterday we had an extempore picnic to pandavgarh. We trecked for 2 kilometers till the bottom of the waterfall and enjoyed in water.

I was very happy to see that you actually walked the entire way and the also did some rock climbing when we reached near the waterfall. With your small hands you held the big stones, climbed up and went round about just like professional rock climber. You were getting tired in between but Aarush dada inspired you to go on. Once we reached near the waterfall you sat in a small pool of water which had a small waterfall in that. You floated around, threw stones in water and played water games.

On the way back we ate our lunch and you slept  on Manoj kaka's shoulder even before we could reach the end of the trek.

It is good to see that with Aarush dada you have started getting more active and strong.

This was the third in series of our Monsoon Picnics.

First was when we came down on the road to get wet and ate Pani Poori on credit tell the vendor we will give the money later. We jumped a lot in water pools and had soo much fun.

Second was when we went to Manshej Ghat, you looked so cute sitting under the waterfall wearing a raincoat.

So Princess, let us thank god for these silver linings in dark clouds.

While I am not around...

I am writing these posts so that we remember that we were always there for each other even though not always together.

I am working on your photos and trying to make a collage and video. That ways I everyday spend some time exclusively with you.

I am working hard in office and try to strengthen my career so that we don't have to go through this again,

and above all remembering you and missing you every single minute..

Love you a lot princess!

Confusions of a 2.5 yr old mother

I am trying to write and avoid to write this post since one and a half months.

I am on a long term project to Mumbai and I am confused if I did a right thing by accepting it or not. By the way, I had no option but to accept it.

I am confused whether you will be less unhappy to stay in Delhi and miss me or stay in mumbai and miss Papa.

I am confused whether you will like to have me by your side all the while or you will love to be daughter of someone who tried to be successful in her career by managing all parts of life.

I am confused whether the agression growing in you is a result of staying away from me or for staying without the company of kids.

I am confused whether it is a good idea to meet 2-3 times a week and spend some quality time together or try meeting you everyday, even if it means just to disturb your routine and sleep times.

This is a difficult time for us princess. I hope it will be over soon and in future when we will look back we will be able to say that it all happened for good.

May god be with us!

Weekend Update: Shades of growing up

After a long time we had a leisurely weekend to ourselves and I just loved to spend some good time  with you princess.

The party started from Friday evening itself when your papa decided to take us out for a movie.

On the way you did a nice act of kindness by giving last piece of your favorite biscuit to another kid at red light. It didnt take any effort for me to coax you into it, I asked you whether you will share and you kindly agreed without any second thoughts.

The movie wasnt very interesting, so we did our part of goofiness and sat in the another audi after the intermission of first movie. It was half shor in the city and half zokommon:)  We loved our mischief and laughed for a long time on this.

Saturday, towards evening you did something that actually inspired me to do something for you.

You were bored and wanted me to entertain you and I was sleepy so I gave you a difficult task.

" If you go and do clean up of all your toys I will take you to swings" and then i closed my eyes thinking that you will get dissuaded and will not disturb me.

You not only understood this whole sentence in english but also came to me after 15 minutes to tell me clean up is done. I got up to check and couldn't believe you actually did a nice clean up that too without any help, all toys in the respective boxes and in the toys drawer, the place was absolutely clean.

I really got inspired and immediately we went to swings.

On swings after half an hour another kid came in to ask for her turn and after little bit of resistance and negotiation you actually relented.

Sunday, was your fun day with Kavya at home, you were exuberant, I wish you two be buddies as your mothers are. After that we had the haircut during which you cried too much and after wards your were happy to be called cutie pie for the rest of the evening.

Love you princess for all the reasonableness, kindness you show at this young age.
