This evening like every evening, he looks into her eyes and gives it to her, "You again forgot to drink water".

This evening like every evening, she smiles sheepishly, takes the glass and gulps it down thinking, One of those million small things, that makes a life truly beautiful!

Lesson # 15439: Think twice, before taking your toddler to common laundry area.

So, i was going to our apartment complex's laundry room and my 2 yrs old tagged along.I didn't mind, even a 100 ft walk is quite entertaining with him. He is at the stage, where silliest things amuses him the most, specially jumping up-and-down on a gutter( Thankfully covered) which is on the way to laundry room. I was asking him questions about the surroundings and he was excitedly telling me whatever he was seeing.
And we reached. (we have common Laundry room with multiple W/D for all the residents. Once in a while, people forget their small clothes in washer/dryer.In that case, next user removes the clothes and keeps in common area.) I was busy transferring clothes from washer to a drier when i heard Shreyu shouting "CHADDI, CHADDI CHADDI..." and pointing to common area. To add to the embarrassment fun, there were some Indians inside, smiling silently, and who knew pretty well, what a "CHADDI" means :\

The Lady!!

Just two years ago....

....I was lying on a hospital bed and scribbling this on a tissue paper:

I woke up today to see,

Sun was glowing yellow,
and sky was bright blue.
Clouds were busy dancing
and there was a rainbow too !!

I saw the rose and it blushed,
A tall tree bowed to me.
Wind was charmingly breezy,
she showered petals on me!!

I asked a little squirrel,
but she giggled and ran away.
I was there thinking,
what is so special Today?

Seeing me standing clueless,
a little bird whispered to me,
You know what, its a Mother's day,
And you will be a Mom Today!!


:) I couldn't ask for a better gift than becoming a Mother on a Mother's day. THANK-YOU GOD, THANK-YOU Shreyas and THANK-YOU S~ for such a perfect timing :D. And since then..this day became special. Very-special!


To my dearest Mom and Mom-in-law, all fellow Moms and soon-to-be-moms : A very happy mother's day!!!

On a different note, My tw0-years-in-two-days old's current favorite activity is: to throw every visible thing in the TOILET and giggle! It reminds me, A friend's GTalk status once said, " If there were no schools, asylums would have been full with mothers." :|

Stay cool and don't miss any chance to laugh-out-loud!
