THAT MILLION DOLLAR SMILE :)

-

 You can’t get enough of your kid special when he is small and then 6 months old. 

It’s Kabir’s ANNPRASHAN day on 4th June 2021 and we are in the midst of the day’s preparation. And suddenly after a nap, the kid starts looking at me and giving me a million dollar smile.  The reaction by his mom was like “Kahaan se itna pyaar laaya hai tu “


We were like speechless and the way u smiled at us Kabir, you really wanted to say something through that smile.  May be someday we would understand what u had to say. 


Good luck buddy.  You are gonna be a great person. I believe in you my kiddo. 🤗

दाने दाने पे लिखा है, खाने वाले का नाम

आज सुबह मैं रामबाबू कैंटीन नाश्ता करने गया, जो कि सेक्टर-3 में स्थित है (गणेश मंदिर के बाजू में)। अपनी भूख को देखते हुए सिर्फ एक इडली और एक सादा दोसा मंगवाया। अपनी प्लेट लेके बैठ ही रहा था, कि कुछ बच्चे वहाँ आके बैठने लगे । सब अलग-अलग उम्र के थे । उनको लेकर उनका बड़ा भाई आया था । मैं भी उनके पास ही बैठ गया । चारों बच्चों ने पूरी मंगवायी और बड़े चाव से खाने  लगे । उनको देख मेरा चंचल मन मुझे अपने बचपन की सुनहरी यादों में ले गया । जब में उन बच्चों की उम्र का था, शायद ही कभी हम ऐसे बाहर जाकर खाया करते थे। जो भी मन करता था, मम्मी घर में ही उसे स्वादिष्ट बना देती और हम पेट भर और जी भर खा कर तृप्त हो जाते । बिरले ऐसे मौके होते, जब पापा कुछ बाज़ार से ले आते, जो हमें खाना होता था । लेकिन आज कल शायद बाहर जाकर खाना खा लेना, शायद एक आम बात हो चुकी है ।  खाते खाते पता नहीं कैसे भूख गायब सी हो गयी। जितना थाली में था, वो भी खत्म नहीं कर पाया। शायद उस बचपन की सैर ने और माँ के हाथ के उन पकवानों से मेरा मन और पेट दोनों भर चुका था । पर बच्चों को बाजू में देख एक हिचक हुई, कि कैसे मैं वो दोसे के ट...

The Lost Art of Waiting

-
     It’s that time of the year, for which we wait eagerly, every passing month for the whole year. Since childhood, the auspicious festival of Diwali and the vacations that compliment the festival, have had a memorable imprint in our lives. Then, it used to be chutti ( holidays ) from the school and now it is more of chutti only, but from Work ! The fervour starts with travel plan, months in advance, during the Ganesha Chaturthi festival ( that time of the year, which marks the arrival of festive season throughout India ).       So, we are back to our roots, with the loved ones, who wait for us eagerly, during the whole year, making preparations for the ‘Dhanteras’, ‘Laxmi Pooja’, ‘Govardhan Pooja’ and other local festive events. In the midst of all this ‘ho-halla’ ( festive chaos, the good one ), two cousins sneaked out in an Ola Electric Scooter to just roam around the city for an hour after dinner, the way they used to roam around in childhood. Adulthoo...

My Solo Trip with................ Kabir

-
          I am not sure if that's only with Kabir or with every kid out there, but they seem to be very much fascinated by trains. As Kabir's daadu (grandfather) is building a new home for his youngest bestie, we often travel to our native place to help him out and obviously, let Kabir enjoy the trains . But, this time it was a different experience altogether for all three of us. If you want to find out how, read along. You can even ignore the rest of it, if it seems boring !!           The journey was planned as usual with me visiting home, but things got spiced up when Kabir's mom suggested to take along Kabir with me. I believe most of you (fathers and mothers) may not be ok with this idea of taking a 3.5 year old on a 2 day trip without his mom. But, when it comes to Kabir, we try to take the unconventional path, specially if it helps in his growth and development. So, we all embarked upon the first of a kind experience in ...
