Cradle Cuddles to Kalle Bele🥰

-
You've grown up so fast, from those sweet moments of just twinkling your eyes in the cradle. Now, you're jumping in and out of the cot, giggling as you pounce on your Appa, and I can't help but smile, knowing you've inherited my genes of teasing him endlessly. 

Who would have thought that adding a little "kadale Bele" could bring so much 😍? Ever since, I've been finding ways to sneak it into everything I do, just so I can see that happiness light up your face when you say "kalle Bele , kalle Bele" with such excitement. It's priceless.

I love watching you enjoy every bite of food, especially when I make unde. The way you jump up and down, shouting "Amma, unde, unde, unde!" makes my heart soar. 

And when I make ghee, you want me to lift you up so you can smell the fresh ghee, just like I love taking in its rich aroma.The way you tell, "Amma, Thoppa, Thoppa" is !!!!!!!

 The way you laugh, the way you sometimes cry, needing me next to you, and how you sit on me like I'm your Jumbo Sawari-you just want me to say, "Bambade Bambam, Bambam," and make all those funny sounds. Then, I throw you up into the air and catch you back, and the sound of your laughter is simply priceless!!!!

Every little thing you do, from your babbles to your playful jumps, fills our life with a happiness we never knew was possible. You’ve added so much life to our world, and we treasure every single expression, every giggle, every hug. You are our joy, our everything🤗❤️

Sarees and Secrets

On lazy Saturday afternoons, we all would gather in the cozy corner- the master bedroom! Appa would recline on the bed, the ceiling fan whirling gently above, while Amma begin on her customary ritual of exploring the wardrobe's treasures. Each item she unearthed - from vibrant sarees to old, knitted sweaters and half-finished socks - held a story waiting to be told. Among the clutter, we discovered gifts of brass and random jewels, imported soaps (May be expired! 😁) each with its own tale to tell. As we delved into the memories, teasing exchanges with Appa and Amma luring them to share their love story once more. Our fingers would trace the pages of old photo albums, while Amma carefully unfolded her cherished wedding sarees from a well-worn suitcase. Lost in admiration for the vintage designs and faded colors, we lost ourselves in tales of their beautiful yesteryears😍 Then, there it lay - the saree that held a special place in our hearts. The very same saree Appa had lovingly gi

After completion of 9 months, the doctor advised to meet her once in two days. It was supposed to be one such appointment with her. I had made the class adjustment and even planned for lunch with my gals😬😋 There was a change of plan as the pain had triggered. the last 9 answer scripts were pending to be valued. He had valued those, reading the answers, in the hospital. The pain was gradually increasing. We sipped some hot ginger tea and awaited. Around 9 p.m., all my people were around, I walked in the corridor, looking at the light up cafés, coffee bars, roaring vehicles, and lounges talking to the lil 💙    By 10, they all went home. By 10:30 p.m., I started getting the real PAIN!!! It was then I realized its intensity. The nurse kept on monitoring the heartbeat every 1 hour. I kept on chanting Thakurji's name 😇  By 11 p.m., the pain became unbearable. I asked the nurse if she could bring the baby out. Now, she started monitoring the heartbeat every 20 minutes. The sound of th

Emotional Rollercoaster: Riding the Waves of Dysphoria and Euphoria

The moment I was guided to breastfeed my newborn for the first time, I was flooded with emotions. Watching my little one latch on with such determination, as if he'd been practicing, filled me with overwhelming happiness. Yet, amidst the joy, there was a tinge of uncertainty. I longed for some time to recover from the delivery trauma and heal from the pains like any other mom. However, as days passed, I adapted. What truly brought peace was connecting with loved ones, sharing experiences with fellow moms, and indulging in some light-hearted stand-up comedy. Those moments of laughter and camaraderie made the journey a bit more adorable and manageable. Ah, truly, the heartwarming conversations over golden lattes, homemade chaklis, and sweet manni (rice fudge), with my darling moon-faced little one, were like rays of sunshine (Sonshine?!) on a cloudy day, filling me with the strength to rise above any feelings of blue! Challenges:  • Almost drifting into sleep, but the newborn decides
