Happy New Year 2019

2018 was a year full of ups and downs: unexpected good news on the personal front ~May and some scary news on the professional front in August. I am not sure if I am glad the year is over but I am glad 2019 is here.

Happy New Year 2019 to all the folks who follow or read my blog or accidentally landed on this page. I hope 2019 brings you happiness, good health, prosperity, good friendships, a lot of warmth and love.

Theme Change and general rant

I have been using the same theme for so long now that I opted for a change - I did not want to lose my window settings and so I chose from the same theme category. I may change it again before long as it looks too pinkish for my taste but lets see.

If you have subscribed to my blog you may realize that I am back-posting stuff. I have been busy and tired and worn out but I really really wanted to get back to some of the things that used to and continue to matter to me - like my blog, my reading, my fitness etc etc in that order.

Kuku has gone back to school after his holidays and Bubu is fast asleep - I should be sleeping but I wanted to get at least a single guilty pleasure out of the way before he wakes up and so here I am :)   

I am yet to post the X-mas decoration pics which I always do - waiting as usual for the Arien. The moment he steps in to the house, I have a whole bunch of requests - get this, buy that, hold him, feed him - I meant him not him, etc etc and so the Arien now feels that the office is the only place he can get some peace :D

I hope to get back to reading soon but I doubt Bubu will let me get back to that. Lets see :)

Wordless Wednesday -- lil Bubu

Wordless Wednesday -- 10 Year completion bouquet

... Its a Boy!

We welcomed our second bundle of joy, a baby boy, on November 20th this year. All that I had forgotten or romanticized about newborns came back with full force! I kept yelling at the Arien "How could you not remind me about sleep-deprivation, horrid diet etc etc?" while the Arien ignored my complaints.

Some days are good;
Some days, I want to curl up and sleep and wake up on my own - not because a lil one is screaming; Some days, I want to cry.

I wish for additional energy, strength, patience to support both my bundles of joy and the Arien, of course :D 

Sports Day 2018 -- Wordless Wednesday

Lunch!

1st January was a holiday and you know how hard it is to get back to work after a holiday. So, somehow it felt like I was dragging my feet and taking my own sweet time to, well, to get to office. Then, out of the blue, our team decided to have lunch outside - whoever was in office, at least. It was a super good idea especially because nobody wanted to think about work or actually do any thing related to work today. I raised a token "I brought lunch" and then gladly decided to go out with the team. Diet plans are postponed for a bit :) We ate at Jalsa Gold.

Nice beginning to the New Year!

Happy New Year 2018

2017 was jam-packed. There were so many posts that I wanted to complete writing and then publish but I didn't do it. I wonder if I should go back and publish those first. I might still do that but for now, I am looking at 2018 and starting afresh.

Happy New Year to all my friends who still visit this blog of mine. I hope this year allows you to do all that you wanted and get all that you wished for. I hope this year is fun, filled with happiness, travel, family get-togethers, and love.  

Kuku - The Dancer

Kuku loves to dance. My cousin got married in December and Kuku decided to dance at their wedding reception as well. He can stay without food and water but cannot stay long without dancing - as I found out at my cousin's reception. We went to another cousin's daughter's birthday party and the moment they put on the music, he was all set to dance and move and groove. We were surprised at his new-found confidence for dancing in public. Also, he did not mind that both of us were not anywhere around him while he danced. When he saw us, he smiled, waved, and continued dancing. This is a new Kuku - I am glad and worried at the same time. I love dancing as well. Everyone has asked me to enroll him in dance classes but something tells me this is jes a fad - I am not sure (maybe I am hoping this is only a fad!) so, I want to let him enjoy this phase while it lasts before making it a chore (Classes, rehearsals, etc. etc.). I want to avoid bollywood numbers, dapanguthu, etc. so I am not really sure about the options. Do you have any ideas? Please write to me and I'll check on that. Thank you!
