Happy 8th birthday to my Princess.. :-)



Dear Nikki,

Eight years ago on this day I walked into the labour room at 7 in the morning..You seemed to be in no hurry to come out.. So they had to induce labour.. It was afternoon and you still showed no signs of coming out..Even the nurses around me were getting impatient and one of them asked me "What is this? Your baby doesn't want to come out?".. Then at 3.30 pm my water broke and after 2 hours of labour you arrived at 5.30 pm.. You were born.. Not just you, a mother too was born that day.. and for me, it was love at first sight.. You were as long as my forearm.. It felt like I was holding a doll..and for the first couple of days I just spent my time staring at you in wonder and amazement.. so many thoughts racing through my mind.. Here is this baby.. All mine.. mine to love, care, nurture and take care of.. I made you from scratch and I am wholly responsible for you.. I was filled both with awe and fear.. Awe because I couldn't believe I had given birth to a baby and fear because I knew that I was wholly responsible for your well being..

So have you ever had a job where you had no experience, no training, you aren't allowed to quit and other people's lives are at stake? Well, welcome to motherhood! You came with no manual of instructions..but believe me whatever I have done for you till today it is purely out of love.. I may not have been the best mother but I did try my best.. we have our differences of opinion but at the end of the day I hope you realise that whatever I did I did it purely out of love for you.. And of all the roles I play in life there is nothing that gives me more joy than being your "Mama".. There are no quotes or poetry in the world that can express how much I love you.. You are the apple of my eyes and the light of my life.. You make me want to be a better person..

And there are times when I feel low and miss you.. that's when I remember how you never fail to say to me, "Mama you are the best 'Mama' in the world".. No other words of appreciation come close to your praises for me.. I love you my doll.. And I want you to know that I will always be here for you.. and today on your 8th birthday I wish you lots of love and happiness.. and remember no matter how old you grow up to be, for me you will always be my 'baby'.. I love you so much my Nikki.. Muah..
Love always ..
Mama..

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
