A new beginning

Handy manny Back pack ready, mickey mouse lunch box with blue water bottle in tow, new uniform and new shoes , my 3 year old is all set to set his foot in a brand new school....

My child's first day at school will always be remembered by us. I was so nervous for him.

It was so nervy, butterflies-in-your-stomach kind of morning for us...I was so upset because he had grown up so fast. And he was so excited.

I put his clothes on and as I was putting his shoes on, he was talking about the things he is going to do in school,giggling and talking in his own language...

I knew the day was coming and he was going to school. Every child has to go eventually.

We finally got his first lunch packed and got his bag packed. then we were off to school.

It was the hardest to leave him with his teacher that first day.

The teacher keep reassuring me he was going to be okay not to worry.

But in my mind I felt she couldn't take care of his needs like I could.

I left him any way. He had no problem leaving me.

He ran right into his classroom and joined in building a tower with the other kids in the room.

I stayed back for a few minutes to peek in and see how he was doing. He was in his own world.

This was an exciting experience for him. You could see on his face how excited he was.

He was taking every thing in and the joy on his face was priceless.

I wouldn't have taken that moment from him for nothing.

I finally left feeling a little bit better but still sad because his need for me had lessened.

I went home and I just didn't know what to do with myself.

I was so used to an active 3 year old following me around so needless to say the 4 hours he was gone was like 10 hours.

When I finally went to get him my poor baby was crying and saying to his Miss that he wants to go home... I felt like my heart is melting... In the morning he was so ok but after few hours without momma and papa, he started missing us... When I waved at him he came running to me and gave me a big hug...Afetr all he is just 3 and how do I expect from him to stay away from me so long... But I have to do this, every mother has to....

His teacher said he was good and was playing around and he will do better as days will pass...

And I was sure of that... I thanked god for blessing me with such a wonderful child...

first summer

blazing sun against my skin

cooling breeze flowing in between,

wild flowers swinging in every direction

tall grass bending at sun in salutation,

group of chirpy girls mingling with bikers

and surroundings filled with sun kissed air,

I feel half asleep,my eye lids are heavy

dreaming of mountains that are snowy,

in the dampish lawn a cat lie

playing with catnip toy beneath a fading sky,

mournful spring leaves the beautiful stage

bright happy summer begins her play....

Girl's night in ....

We all lead hectic, busy lives and sometimes a girl just needs to unwind, relax and have a little fun--at home,, so we (me and my 3 friends) decided to have some serious summer fun at one of our friends place...

There's no need for any reason to celebrate other than the joys of friendship! so we took time to unwind with our best girlfriends... Actually my friend's hubby was going out of town so she had this awesome idea of a night of fun,friendship and laughter..

So at 8.39 on Wednesday me ,Deeps and Prit headed to Vrush's place...It was 102 degrees F outside...But we never felt the heat as we were high on friend fever...

After saying byes and couple of good nights we politely sent Deeps's hubby home..And made ourselves comfortable on chairs and couch for a girlie night..

Apart from our talks, we had two entertainment , one is Vrush's lovely cat "Kalu" and my kiddo "Shiv"..(found cat better as it doesn't speak and my son doesn't stop talking)

Everybody knows what women talk about when hubbys aren't around. so we also spilled out our innermost desires, our hopes, our dreams, our fears, and fantasies...after some fun moments,the topic of job security took over,someone mentioned cases like visa stamping,then about H1,then money v/s marital bliss ..We talked about each other's interesting work, gossiped about Hollywood bollywood celebrities , discussed our *** lives and had fun, fun, fun.

But we didn't forget our tummies and relished on Jack fruit ice cream (courtesy Vrush) and then heavenly cold coffee and then again started talking, and maybe the caffeine loosened our tongues, but we were just going on and on and on (till 6 am ).

After that Deeps declared that her eyes are not keeping up with her and need to shut so we all went for a little early morning sleep...between our husbands (like I care for u so much types) called up and checked on us...At 8.30 am we got up from our unfinished sleep and Vrush blessed us with hot tea and sabudana Khichadi like a perfect host...Our night in was almost getting over and we already started our planning for the next one..We got along so great that we decided to have this often...

And after promising to watch upcoming Harry potter flick together we parted our ways to meet up again soon....

"Dream"

"Dream"

Some time in life you feel so down,don't feel like doing anything...
Wonder what I must be doing,?I go to sleep...

So I went to sleep and had a strange dream.,
there were lots of people around me ,one said,''hi,I'm grumpy,
other said,'hello there,my name is sunshine.
someone said,"I'm care,one said,"me love,
and there were these guys named fun, big heart around me...

I thought what weird names,but they said- we are not strangers,you know us too very well...
Then I noticed Grumpy with a frown so I asked him,whats the matter? why so sad? Suddenly this guy called Sunshine came forward and he gave a warm hug to Grumpy and grumpy was no more lonely and shortly surrounded by Love, Fun, Big Heart and rest of them....

and their laughter broke my sleep and the dream..........
but you know what,I was no more feeling low,,,the reason?
you know it better,don't you?????

So friends,bring some sunshine n joy in your life and in those lives who sorround you....

"A call from morning"

A call from morning

One day I got up ,
to find the moon was locked up..

The sun was smiling,
dew drops twinkling...

Somewhere near, the train passed by,
wonder what emotions its carrying and why????

I was lost in a trance and a phone rang,
Hallo,the voice said-its a beautiful day
and I started it with a bang!!

(i was just standing at the door in my house which opens in a patio full of trees and green when above words occurred in my mind.)
