Summer Vacation Time

Krisha's summer vacation starts from today. Last day before 2 month long vacations.

She is going to her Nani house and is super excited. 

That reminds me of my childhood when every summer we went to chandigarh. That was sure fun time. Almost every wish was granted. be it ice cream, gol gappas (chocolates were not really that sought after), chat. My Nana was also foodie and every evening he will get something. eating samosa's with bread was evening ritual as was having chola bhatura's on a Sunday. 

She is definitely going to enjoy next 20 days as all her cousins are also in ambala.

A story

Yesterday night... Krisha makes a call to her Nani at around 11.00 Pm...

K: Nani... i want to listen to a story of princess...
Nani: ok...but where is your ma & papa..
K: ma -- sleeping (Acting), papa -- busy with his friend
Nani: ok...

after listening to the story....Krisha now tells her Nani..
K: your turn is finished... now its my turn...
Nani: which story shall u give me?
K: same as yours....

But in her story there were many characters.. like...ben10, Tiger, Lion, rabbbit....apart from the princess
and finally krisha sleeps off on phone....

Kids are so innocent... she enjoys listening to stories & than reciting them back...
Hope she continues with this habit...

Luv u my baby....:)

once in the train --- Krisha got busy in her games.... in almost every second she had a query to ask about how long will it take to reach... she was too excited....

Time: 2.30 PM -- we had to change our train to reach our destination

On the way there were chips shop & krisha just couldnot control herself...so madam starts crying for chips....and we are about to miss our train....

Nani: surprised
K: i cannot waste time...."aapko pata nahi ki mei yaha sirf ek din ke liye hi aaya hu...so mujhe bahut khelna hia...aap mujhe mat bulao...."
Nani: ok...(laughing)

Thorughtout the journey from Gurgaon to Ambala --- we had such small small incidents with krisha...
it was for the first time that i took her in a local train... never thought it would be so much fun...her conversations, her thoughts about the journey, her happiness, her small adjustments....
she enojoyed it thoroughly...so did I.

This was definately one of my best travel so far....
Wishing to hold few more like this....
All Thanks to Ajay....:)

A BIG DAY!!!!

Today was a big day for Krisha.... as she managed to go to school all by herself... all alone from our house to her class....though we both were little apprehensive about the same.... but our brave little dynamite managed it well.....here's our conversation

krisha: mummy i can go alone
Ma: babu no..u r small...:(
krisha: "NO", i can... i use to travel alone in lifts in Mumbai....
Ma: their u could reach the buttons
Krisha: i can jump & touch...i m "GOING".."bye"
Ma: ok lets try


so i accompany her in lift... she's sad that i m not trusting her....so on reaching ground floor:


Krisha: now u go back...i can manage from here
Ma: ok i shall only drop u till the building gate & watch u from there....
Krisha: "NO"....plz
Ma: ok


so from here madam goes further & walks the garden ...and the lawn sprinkler and gets little wet with water :) and finally reaches her class safely....


both me & Akb were standing far behind and watching her travel her road alone, happily and with full confidence....,
had a feeling of proud "MA" after seeing her reach her destination safely passing all the hurdles....(though small as of now)
but it made me sure that we must "trust" our kids....its we who are the first teachers of life for them....


good lesson learned from my little one....
Thank u Babu.....
