straight from the heart

Meaning strong.. she is just so strong headed. Jo soch liya wahi karna hai.. kitna bhi samjha lo. She is a spoiled brat in my life. You simply cannot win over her... Adira:- mumma meri dress change kar do.  Mom:- kya hua Aadu:- geeli ho gayi Mom:- Kya gir gaya? Aadu:- Aansu..  Because she was crying for something since long. Now u cannot decide whether to give in to her demands, whether to try to make her understand( make her cry more), whether to laugh and whether to cry.  She is impossible. This very nature of her is just opposite of Vaanya, jitni jaldi woh samajhti hai .. utna hi Aadu nahi samajhti hai. Same home, same set of parents, same upbringing.. but starkly opposite behaviour.  This is just one of the feathers in her cap. Others being asocial, not being happy while going to school, no interest in curriculum, no interest in fruits, only junk she likes., Being choosy about clothes she have to wear, not potty trained blah  blah blah blah... All these in m...

Right from lingerie to the lehenga, slippers to comb, rings to bangles, washroom to home .. parents and family everything is new for a bride .. Just like a bride, a new house is ornamented.. from the foundation till roof, facade til back, every inch is decorated and prepared .. for new residents in its heart... A slight touch of particular-ness if given to the piece of land. And it becomes.. an abode.. a dream, a luxury, necessity.. an indispensable part of our lives.. like a newly wed.. it becomes a dream come true..  Adding spirit to the materialistic things.. roti kapda aur makan.. God has given so much to feel thankful for. I just hope.. bhagwan ji yun hi aabad rakhein.

We never tested for covid, yet we know we are covid positive. We are a family of 9(one is expecting) so exactly 10. My brother in law had fever and after 4 days of various tests, high  grade fever, headaches. He was tested for Covid and it came out positive. Meanwhile other members of the family started showing symptoms of aches and fevers.. out of 10, 5 were positive. And left we were four. We were advised not to go for test as we also started developing symptoms. The youngest one is being in most vulnerable stage and hope he/she is most protected and comes out to be in best of health and happiness.  Covid is a overly dramatised virus, it stays in body for so long. It creates havoc. Immunity becomes hyperactive. Aches , head, body and back, torture us. 1 week is hell-ish. Fever , though it is mild, and lasts for a day or so, seems like eternity. And the spread. My God, what spread, spreads like wildfire. In 2 days it affected 9 of us. One after other. I hope only we are affec...

While I am writing this, my Vaanya is putting henna on my hands.. as tommorow is grah pravesh of our new home.   Today she has won 1st prize in medal making competition. And participated in rakhi competition as well . Her teacher said in the recent PTM that we are proud and blessed parents. Aise kids har parents aur teachers ke dream kids hote hain. Her words welled up our eyes... Really we are so proud and lucky to have her. She is our God's Gift. She is punctual, hardworking. She is going to turn 8 on 19th and she is so mature than her age.  She is so sensible.  7th August 2022.. the day went like a snap .. phew... It all started with rain at 6am. Then jegar at 8:30. Havan over at 10:30.. pakore ... Everybody.. they came . Blessed us... Liked our new home . . 

People may remember this day for independence of Pakistan and various other reasons.. For me this day is etched in my memory lanes for shifting of homes...   14th August 2015:- I shifted from Coimbatore to Faridabad, 2065 sector 8.. for forever.. taking just one step in the process ..   giving CCL till October and with my ICT Application forwarded from Coimbatore to Coimbatore Zone.  And hope of it being forwarded from zone to CCA and then to Delhi CCA and then ICT being happening in Delhi and me being transferred to Delhi Zone.  And all of the above happened.. and within the timeframe hoped by me..(fastest ICT Ever) miraculously.. By God's grace.. everything fell in place.. All the pieces joined together.. I am thankful to God for everything ... Giving me all that I have.. fulfilling all my dreams...and much more.   And this day today.. 13th August 2022.. 7 years later.. We are again ready to shift.. to our new abode.. 379.. Our new home... Again with...
