A pleasant evening..

I rushed back home quickly after my carpool ride from office. Reached home around half an earlier than my usual time. I had some pending work, so quickly switched on the lappy, freshened up and started off, while my lil sweetie was fast asleep wid her thatha.
This was precisely why I rushed, coz I knew once she was up, I would have not a sec to attend to anything else but her :-)
Work I did for around 15 mins then Vedika was up. Did my usual ritual of having chai that was readily prepared and served to me by my sweet MIL.Then twas fruit-time for vedika. Each of the meals that I have to give her gets done faster for her as well as me when we are down in the basement in the company of "beeg car (read corpio), small car (read sift)" bike, etc :-)

After that, I changed, dressed up lil ved and we were off to the play area. She loves playing there with the sand so also in the swings, slides and the merry-go-rounds. Ahanya, Neeya, Ria are some of her fave friends!She keeps me on my toes literally when I'm wid her playing. She keeps running and dodging between the play-area, the gym, the club-house and around the swimming pool. Yea, she loves going into the gym for 1 thing..can you believe what? to check her
weight! Yea, you can be sure where she got it from :-)

Right in the middle of all this, I was suddenly stopped by Cylin, she's one of the mammas that I meet daily. Today we had a different talk. She told me she's inviting all the kiddos and the mammas home the coming friday evening over for coffee. And guess what the reason could be...she's starting a saloon at home!!
Also, she made it very clear to me that it will not be the crappy kinds like Anabelle Saloon that we have in the neighbouring lane..(Anabelle is actually a really good saloon that provides quite a decent service). She has had previous experince working in India as well as abroad in five star and seven star saloons. So, we could expect wonderful service, she assured!! Whoa!!

Meanwhile hubby got home early and I happily handed over lil Vedika to him while I could catch up on some more gossip with other ladies around. I met Julia and Reshma. We had been planning to call the ladies trainer for swimming for quite sometime now, but was getting postponed for some reason or the other. We quickly got together and put down the list of ladies interested in joining, called them over the intercom and confirmed their presence for the class the coming weekend. Hope to have a good splash soon

Separation Blues...

Zindagii do Pal Kii is just sooo mesmerising....

Lovable. Wonderful. Romantic. Soft . A bit nostalgic. Warm. Soothing.... That’s Zindagi do pal ki. This song from Kites is worth listening to. KK as ususal has done an awesome job!! The way he sings 'intezaar kab tak..hum karenge bhala...' is totally mesmerising. I can keep listening to it continuously throughout the day!!

Rajesh Roshan has given wonderful music. KK and lyricist Nasir Faraz too have their fair shares in the superbness of the song. So here go the lyrics :-

Zindagi do pal ki, zindagi do pal ki
Intezaar kab tak hum karenge bhala
Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge bhala
Zindagi do pal ki..

Dil mein tumhare chhupa di hai maine to apni ye jaan
Ab tum hi isko sambhalo hume apna hosh kahaan
Bekhudi do pal ki, zindagi do pal ki
Intezaar kab tak hum karenge bhala
Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge bhala

Ik chota sa vaada iss umar se zyada sachcha hai sanam
Har mod par saath iss liye rehte hain ab dono hum
Dosti do pal ki, zindagi do pal ki
Intezaar kab tak hum karenge bhala
Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge bhala
Zindagi do pal ki, zindagi..

Thapalai chaatam !

Here I am, back after a long hiatus....my lil doll kept me busy all these days..can u believe she'll be 2 the 21st of this Month? For her talking came sooner than walking! By now, she's quite clear wid the words she says and the way she communicates. She even speaks small sentences. Since hubby is from the palakkad side she is very quickly picking up the palakkad dialect. Sometimes, infact its me who learns some words from her these days :)

Last night, she suddenly called out to me: "Mummy ..Mummy..." and said, "thapayay taatam". At first I couldnt gather what she said. I asked her to repeat and she did. This cycle went on for atleast 4-5 times. When she realised that I'm not getting her..do u know what my sweetie did? She literally demonstrated to me :D .
It was only then that I realised what she meant...she showed me a froggy jump :) :)
She had actually meant to say " Thapalai Chaatam" which in palakkad dialect translates to "froggy jump" !!!
