Gundu growing up

As I read articles about the changes toddlers will go through at the age my son is, I feel a bittersweet emotion. While I feel proud of all the skills my boy is mastering, I feel sad recognizing the fact that he’s growing up. Oh! It does seem so soon. 😦 He can now, not…

Gundu updates..

I was reading my journal entries from a year back and realized I was such a harried mom at that point of time. The beauty of it all is, that I hardly remember any of that agony now. Time is such a healer. During those days, I always used to wonder, how on earth people…

Making Memories

It is strange how every day looks the same when you look from afar. Doing the mundane jobs that every day is filled with. What you need to do is look close. Close, because there will be so many moments of joy and gratitude that you will miss out otherwise. I am blessed with a…

The Birthday Bash

We had the birthday celebration for Gundu last Sunday. We had organized a Pooja, which was followed by cake cutting and lunch. I had a great time planning this first birthday for my darling son. I know he won’t remember any of it, but then what are photographs for? What started off with a discussion…

Birthday Celebration – III (Trip Day 2)

At the stroke of midnight, P and his wife brought out a cake for me. It had a photograph of me and BG on it! It was beautiful! P had also put candles, which read ’29’. 😡 We a had great time, cutting, eating and applying it on each others face! 😀 As if all this…

Birthday Celebration – II (My gift and Trip Day 1)

After having arranged for the gift, I was at peace as there would be no last minute rush of what to get. However I knew that BG would have no inclination to get a gift or plan anything for the birthday, like his typical self. So for one, I planned the Mangalore trip and two,…

Birthday Celebration – I (Gifts!)

I look forward to birthdays. I love celebrating it. I enjoy both planning and receiving surprises. I also love the time I spend with my friends. The few close ones, who know me well and who know me for a really long time. I am just happy when they are around! Since our birthdays (BG’s…

Of plans and updates

When you are really, keenly waiting or hoping for something, that is when the said thing keeps eluding you. Leaving you feeling sad and disappointed. I have been waiting for a call since about a week now. Haven’t received it yet. 😦 *Fingers-crossed* Otherwise, I am all keen on the trip that we are going…

Towards a greener future!

Like I had mentioned in my year-end post, I had been on a lookout for workshops on gardening. Though I had read about a few, I couldn’t find any that would suit me and I was occupied on most weekends with a lot of other things. On New Year’s Eve we visited the event that…

Swinging with joy!

There was a Kannada movie, quite an old one called BeLLi MoDagaLu. It was a beautiful movie, the story-line, characters and everything. One thing I liked a lot in the movie was a swing, a wooden one. It was shown in a lot of scenes and there was a song which was shot on it too. The…

The year that was and the one ahead!

The year is drawing to a close soon. With just one more day left, it’s time to reflect upon how the year that went by was and making new resolutions for the upcoming year. I have blogged very little this year. An average of one post per month, that’s it! But I wrote a lot…
