Snuggles

Having a baby is so many levels of discoveries daily, it never ceases to amaze. But somewhere in those big changes that keep happening every single day are small moments that just melt your heart. 

Little Lego turns 5 months old today. I thought I should write down some of those small moments before he turns older and in the new discoveries, I forget what made me so happy in those moments.

  • For a while, Lego believed all music originated from Mummy. Every time he heard something melodious, he would look at me. That's because I would sing a lot to him. But that look he would give me was precious. Even if someone sang something nice on TV, he would look towards me. For a few days there, I was the best singer on earth for someone!
  • When he was just a month old, he loved the light from the window. Every morning, he would lie on the bed beside me and stare out of the window, have conversations with the sun. That was all it took to entertain him back then!
  • He gleams when he is happy! Like literally. His smile extends the whole face and his eyes lit up!
  • When he drinks milk and he is satisfied, he stops and give you the biggest, most satisfactory smile ever. I wish I was that happy after every meal!
  • He loves screaming. He opens his mouth assuming a scream will emerge every time. But sometimes, it takes effort. And when the effort pays off, you have the cutest screams emerge from the little body.
  • The way he plays with his hands - he holds them up, observes them, keeps rubbing them and eventually puts them in his mouth.
  • He cuddles and snuggles in the nights, if you are beside him on the bed. The cutest snuggles. Puts his hand on you to rest it!

I could go on and on. But then that's what the blog is for. For now, happy 5th month, Lego! Here's looking forward to many more such small moments.

Cheers

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether.

The Truant Family!

The low hanging trees were always in demand. As Raji rushed for the nearest one, with her little brother in her tow, she cast a quick glance at the tree to survey the bounty. It was laden with fresh guavas, alright! Pumped, she put her foot on the lowest branch and pulled herself up. Raji had barely put her foot on the next branch, when she felt a tug on her skirt. Feeling a nudge of irritation, she peered down at her four year old brother. "What is it, Appu?" "Where's my guava?" he demanded. "Will you at least wait while I climb up?" She resumed her climb up carefully, so as not to tear her skirt. The trick was to choose the right branches.She had barely moved up one level, when she felt a tug again. She looked around for the nearest ripe guava and hurled it before Appu could speak.She heard his chuckles of delight as he dug into large juicy bites. That settled, she ensconced in a comfortable branch, and began her feast of the large, ripe guavas. S...

The Top 5 List!

Nothing. Nothing at all prepares you for office-life post college. No amount of counseling, talking to Seniors, reading self help book, listening to lectures from parents and elder siblings, Googling about "Life At Company X". Nothing I am not saying work is boring. Far from it. All I am implying is that, office is not like college and everyone realizes that the hard way, at some point in time. For some, it's Day One. For some, it's post the training period. For some, it's the first appraisal. For some, it's the day you resign.  But thankfully, there are a million things that make office, umm, let's say, bearable. So, presenting to you, my list of: TOP FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE OFFICE FUN! AT NUMBER 5 : Chai Breaks! Nope. I do not drink Chai, or Coffee, or Alcohol, or even aerated drinks. But when the others go out for Chai, I tag along diligently. I stand there in the sun and squint my eyes in the heat to watch my colleagues sip on deadly hot, hot chai ma...
