Personal priorities have kept me away from blogging but I should be back soon in action.<br /><br />During this time my angel, Rida has become more beautiful, more naughty and has added load full of new activities to her existing list. I am capturing the moments and soon they should be on the blog.<br /><br />Mama Hen, thanks for stopping by and checking on me. Amy thanks for using the theme, I may not be able to participate in this color splash :( (though wanted to ) but will be soon back in business :) ...thanks<br /><br />For all others, don't lose the faith, I shall be back amongst you and catch up on all the lovely blogs posted by all .

I love color splash and as I mentioned earlier, the best part about color splash is it's end result! I was excited about the picture I was working on and boy! do I love it! I adore it!

So the choice of my CSS theme this week was easy, SCARF. Rida was around 6 months old when I took this picture from my blackberry.(The comparative clarity of my phone sometimes surprises me...maybe its because of the daylight! ) Nay! It's my baby's radiance! I know am getting carried away....:)Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171302005569894709noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395179245608364750.post-46859868982059124172010-06-05T05:46:00.000-07:002010-06-05T13:26:15.433-07:00We make "it" look so easy!!!<div align="center"></div><div align="center">I am feeling "crowned" and hence sentimental!

We love to make ourselves and our near ones, credit the fact that having children is the most beautiful thing in the whole wild world! Not a day goes when I don't remember the out of the world happiness of holding my bundle of joy for the first time on 27th Feb 2009 at 3:38 pm! The pain was gone as if it never existed!<br /><br /><br />Motherhood is a such a beautiful gift from our Lord that honors our love for our spouses, recognizes our patience and courage as well as enriches us with wisdom.<br /><br />This gift also brings with it the test -of -our -lives! The lessons that we impart to our children that will mould their future is the biggest challenge we (will) face. In this process we get even more closer to our mom and grandmom! I do now, after becoming a mum, truly and completey appreciate the qualities, the grace, the dignity, the courage and the selflessness in the nature of these two women in my life!<br /><br />Also all the friends that I have made before and over here have in their own beautiful ways made this whole on-going experience merry and truly entertaining. I know I'm not the only one who spend sleepless nights, take a siesta and thank God for it, who is on her toes running behind half pints during the day, who cleans the house only to clean it again after half an hour who's meals are often interved with smelly diapers or a sleepy pair of eyes! Yet, yet we make so many people believe it's a cake-walk! :-)</p><p>Our love and efforts will truly pay off when we we grow older and see that our little babies who use to walk holding our fingers firmly grow up to love us <em>unconditionally! </em></p><p><em>Sentiments continue...</em></p><p><em>But</em> for now mommys sit back and relax, its time to pamper yourselves and <em>smile to glory</em> by accepting these awards!! <a href="http://mommyspages.blogspot.com/">The mommy </a>and <a href="http://beingzaraandzidan.blogspot.com/">Neel</a> both great bloggers and even greater mothers think I'm trendy and versatile respectively!

He enjoys T-20 Cricket match just as much as he loves watching the Grand Prix. That's HIM in the picture routing for Michael Schumacher and the Ferrari Team at the US Grand Prix at Indianapolis. This picture dates back to 2005, the year I got engaged to him! It was also the year in which an Indian Driver Narain Karthikeyen made his debut in F1!

She is turning out to be a very expressive girl and quite specific in her needs. If I serve her cookies she will ask for "Chee" (cheese), if that's what she wants! The past one year has gone by in reading her expressions and learning her language. Every child is unique and as a mother the sooner you know about your sweethearts various behaviour/demand/needs/patterns, the better it is to raise them! Right?<br /> Happy Parenting! :)Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171302005569894709noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395179245608364750.post-58322091963846456842010-05-10T10:57:00.000-07:002010-05-10T11:25:17.380-07:00Hello World!<div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQjYSIGw_j-6wVSjnawZNJ61YqOQrgN3CSP12nOE3ebnOA_RCBhGiSOq4xqF1f2EbOZducb_vBYMum6ODp2KRm7jTqg7333L_M3Ke3ZquCLgJJonWAiXI0LvKoFiaKwekhHQQGOUaBizo/s1600/IMG_1797.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469702249526446994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 366px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQjYSIGw_j-6wVSjnawZNJ61YqOQrgN3CSP12nOE3ebnOA_RCBhGiSOq4xqF1f2EbOZducb_vBYMum6ODp2KRm7jTqg7333L_M3Ke3ZquCLgJJonWAiXI0LvKoFiaKwekhHQQGOUaBizo/s400/IMG_1797.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div>Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171302005569894709noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395179245608364750.post-14939043529257694132010-05-10T04:02:00.001-07:002010-05-10T12:38:33.962-07:00Caught in action!<div align="center">If there is a certain silence in the house, no yells and calls and whispers then be sure my naughty girl is upto some mischief.

Nah, she doesn't want it to talk to her, only two days older cousin in Dubai, but, to see the "creation" of Allah stored in that small gadget.... Her eyes scan my bedroom the minute she enters it.

Pass the award on to other bloggers and visit their blog to let them know!<br /><br /><strong>Things that make me Happy!(not in particular order)</strong><br />1. My Daughter RIDA. Her smiles, her giggles, her bunny teeth her presence and all the things in her room-pink shoes, pink dresses, her toys.... :) everything that's her's:)<br />2. My husbands smiling face when he return from work in the evening.<br />3. My house when its clean and tidy, especially my kitchen and bathroom.<br />4. Monsoon- the fragrance of the mud.<br />5. Surprise gifts.<br />6. I love to hear stories about my childhood- my dad has many to narrate. It truly makes me happy and proud to be dad's girl:)<br />7. My mom's pamperings and my sister's attention! I get it all refined everytime I visit them. Rida gets her share too:)<br />8. My in-laws, when they are happy. Their happiness brings happiness to me:)<br />9. Meeting my neices and nephews, listening to their innocent and sweet talks and getting so much love and respect back brings smiles miles and miles.<br />10. Travelling places. I never wish to spend weekends at homes and love it when my brother plans an outing.<br /><br />While making this blog that has Rida, my sweet sweet daughter all over it, I visited blogs of other mothers, passionate ones, loving ones and very friendly too. All their blogs make a good read and the stories around motherhood are just amazing! I am definitely trying to steal more time out so I can visit, comment, follow and make blogger friends.<br /><br /><strong>Here are my 5 blogs that bring me joy!</strong> (These will soon be updated to 10 once I get more time to my blogging. Currently my daugther and my hubby take most of the time :). Am not complaining !!!)<br />1. <a href="http://beingzaraandzidan.blogspot.com/">Being Zara and Zidan</a>,Mom Neels blog:) I know Zara and I know Zidan. I stayed with them for a month and watching them grow with every new blog is such a pleasure. Bhabhi is a passionate mother and yes we started blogging together! Those 28 days of staying together are the most memorable ones. We painted, we blogged, we travelled. If you have time then do visit and see for yourself! at <a href="http://weindubai.blogspot.com/">http://weindubai.blogspot.com/</a><br />2. <a href="http://mommyspages.blogspot.com/">Twenty Little Toes</a>, Mom Arhama's blog. I love the title "Twenty little toes" yes she is a mother of two cute cute naughty boys-Ryad and Nael, also my darling nephews! Can't wait to hear them call me aunt! Her blog is what got me started with mine! She is very inspirational and dynamic!<br />3. <a href="http://azmisajid@blogspot.com/">Hubby's blog</a> He writes his mind and is very spontaneous. I would love to say that he is a thoughtful writer but whats more cool about his blog is that it has informative and some very thought-provoking topics. The funny thing is that our discussion that follows after his write-up is usually lenghthier than his post! :)<br />4. <a href="http://ohthatswhy.com/">Oh! That's Why!</a> I always like the titles of her post-they are so captivating and unique. My sweetest sister Sadia (yes our whole family is into blogging! :) is currently teaching and running a school in a small town in India. Her narratives, her experience is worth reading!<br />5. <a href="http://sailorandcompany.blogspot.com/">Sailor&Co</a> This is one of the most happening blogs which I visited recently! I got linked to it through Arry's and participated in her Raw(e) Red carnival which was fun and it was sure nice to receive comments from fellow bloggers. It has some amazing pictures. One of the blogs which I started following ever since.Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171302005569894709noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395179245608364750.post-50700635750286793992010-05-02T10:37:00.000-07:002010-05-02T11:16:31.489-07:00Mummammmmmm, heavenly!It rained here in Pune!

The first ever baby step of my darling sweetheart, right in the centre of the living room! Going on her knees first and then slowly raising herself using her hand to balance out. She couldn't get enough of it after that and neither did we:) The pics are little blurred as she was moving a lot when trying to hold her feet firm to the gorund. I loved the way she balanced herself by raising her hand. She was very delighted as we all clapped and appreciated her effort. My little girl was very confident and self-sufficient (she just wouldn't allow anyone to help her:)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGOJ2YdHnzwdx6c7xqjOEO4i2i7m_9LuIyp4JAFCEUYD8y0aygXM1k-cwKuaT2oRwpfxJYUxijkNgcEvjpJ4HV5QugWE1asrMug63yZrbD0n_v037jnxZ09soOs8RBd-iaLsVDSt43u2Xp/s1600/fs.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466723701481386146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 365px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGOJ2YdHnzwdx6c7xqjOEO4i2i7m_9LuIyp4JAFCEUYD8y0aygXM1k-cwKuaT2oRwpfxJYUxijkNgcEvjpJ4HV5QugWE1asrMug63yZrbD0n_v037jnxZ09soOs8RBd-iaLsVDSt43u2Xp/s400/fs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhazJh2I_awhcdFgyYBKrYkf6Hds6QJ7pFrLiBruZ4cUdbOCjsIkbfEeyU3iH-yDTbd7WYvT3iAOhZkwCLk-q6T6VqQI1siVl3YBNg15DVdV2uP4H4G6EGieOVKDIQZDKXNPz1pzXtpQ_Qy/s1600/fs2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466723699929997522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 251px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhazJh2I_awhcdFgyYBKrYkf6Hds6QJ7pFrLiBruZ4cUdbOCjsIkbfEeyU3iH-yDTbd7WYvT3iAOhZkwCLk-q6T6VqQI1siVl3YBNg15DVdV2uP4H4G6EGieOVKDIQZDKXNPz1pzXtpQ_Qy/s400/fs2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Way to go Riduu!!!</div>Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171302005569894709noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395179245608364750.post-81853380357834279032010-04-29T12:09:00.000-07:002010-04-29T12:31:26.835-07:00Raw(e) RedMy baby's favorite <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Red</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">Shoes</span></strong>.

Please go back to sleep- I said this, more to myself than to her, but nah, once up is UP. I still felt a zombie, she kept waking up in the night as if to count the stars if they were the same in number or the moon wether he's still asleep...<br /><br />She usually sleeps till 8 atleast and I don't mind if she greets morning before dawn, but today, just today I wanted that extra time too.<br /><br />Let me see if daddy can help, although he slept late. I called out to him- no response. I called again and then I allowed Rida to go and sit on his tummy. He didn't stir(although he is a light sleeper). Fine! I got your point darling. And just to prove this point to him- a mother is a synonym of 'sacrifice' , I woke up in high spirits:P<br /><br />I removed her soiled diaper and stretched my arms to reach to a fresh one stacked inside my bedside table drawer. It was all fine until Rida decided to put me to a test and challenge my reflxes and flexibility...she grabbed my glasses which was next to my pillow and was moving fast towards the edge of the bed.I stretched my leg to make a boundry and protect her from falling, and held out my other hand to take my glasses from her before she understand that they cannot stretch beyond a point and will eventually break!<br /><br />Wow that was quick, I smiled in pride... only a little too soon. When I "gathered" myself, I experienced a slight pain on my left shoulder. A contraction of the first order!<br /><br />Since then the day's been ALL RIGHT!<br />:)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqN-J5BENAtau5-liAQszkP4ByCuMu53z5HxXWWBFBhvXj4mlT57ejt-2CDjG9lI6SCyspCHn21ZB5zw0RXnh7THmwemLKuoDNMtVc1LdldIKKEByz_VFCTrwNQJmSd2vt_t9-_o_V-fgv/s1600/670059_l.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465136444138076418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 244px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 244px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqN-J5BENAtau5-liAQszkP4ByCuMu53z5HxXWWBFBhvXj4mlT57ejt-2CDjG9lI6SCyspCHn21ZB5zw0RXnh7THmwemLKuoDNMtVc1LdldIKKEByz_VFCTrwNQJmSd2vt_t9-_o_V-fgv/s400/670059_l.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3rjtChg14PifIUUsk1UWE7X-oAoaHfu3sRSlmlCyKUHPVBsyO_ItLVyZpvQm3sj9pvVKseuptPAS96dIrFDvhNGz2hKL_zkKml9-j-zy5y1cAyUsLUn-CPGhCAR-sfty0Q8EzearNe_L/s1600/us_Amrutanjan_Yellow_cold_Pain_Balm_9gms_otc.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465136152159134978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 197px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 147px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3rjtChg14PifIUUsk1UWE7X-oAoaHfu3sRSlmlCyKUHPVBsyO_ItLVyZpvQm3sj9pvVKseuptPAS96dIrFDvhNGz2hKL_zkKml9-j-zy5y1cAyUsLUn-CPGhCAR-sfty0Q8EzearNe_L/s400/us_Amrutanjan_Yellow_cold_Pain_Balm_9gms_otc.jpg" border="0" /></a>Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171302005569894709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395179245608364750.post-8777940496953701072010-04-26T02:39:00.000-07:002010-04-26T04:48:53.808-07:00My Naughty Angel:)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPnna3wnL1dkT3TIH0kojioY2mCyf86Wn9fhrlUHYOiAbVy2VRIFTR29blUEdhlhwyr2ExWhou5ullGOC19CpTEzZhyLdqTon2PGcDDXjx98jHLWmJkaCCVLVaNdniVgabtFp8G0W4cu0R/s1600/b&w.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 347px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPnna3wnL1dkT3TIH0kojioY2mCyf86Wn9fhrlUHYOiAbVy2VRIFTR29blUEdhlhwyr2ExWhou5ullGOC19CpTEzZhyLdqTon2PGcDDXjx98jHLWmJkaCCVLVaNdniVgabtFp8G0W4cu0R/s400/b&w.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464399178021850610" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Beautiful and unique are the ways of children's behavior.

Yet, every event makes me smile and Thank God every day for sending this Angel into my life!<br /><br />Rida Says:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I understand the language of Thank You-</span> Ever since my girl started communicating, in those initial stages of infancy, graduating slowly to using words like "gee" to give I use the word 'thank you' when I want to take something from her that did not belong in her toy basket or, could be harmful to her. Ofcourse she just wouldn't hand it over to me without those mischievous smile or by pretending to give, stretching her hand out and quickly withdrawing to herself. But the fact is She knows! Say Thank you and I will give, else keep trying your luck. But you gotta wait!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I'll be the last to sleep!</span> - These days she just wouldn't sleep without holding a toy. Preferably Doraemon. But thats not all. She expects me to call out to everyone in her toyland to go to sleep. I literally have to say "doraemon go to sleep", "dora go to sleep", "moon go to sleep" Pappy go to sleep" and if I forget horsy, she will make the sound of the horse 'tda' tda' tda' (she picked this sound when I played 'horsy and friends' with her) and remind me! The cutest part is when she looks at me as if to say 'are you sure mom you've called out everyone and they have all gone to sleep'?!!! :)<br />Now 'sleeping time' has become the second best time after 'foody time'.<br />Let me not tell you here what happens when she refuses to sleep.... *sigh*<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mumma says I cannot trouble Daddy!</span> - Well, mumma actually never said this but is glad you know it. Mornings and weekends are the times when daddy runs a small show. Rida, brushing her teeth without turning the bathroom shelve upside down, getting oil massage done without any hesitation, playing with toys only not with crockery and crystals, changing clothes in one straight shot, and sleeping in no installments - does this all and makes her dad feel proud of himself! Please keep up the great work Hubby!<br />Of course as always there are times of refusal and absolute non-cooperation. But Help is always around the corner:)Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171302005569894709noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395179245608364750.post-80102834886989649272010-04-24T12:43:00.000-07:002010-04-26T12:05:56.880-07:00Meet Rida's friendsRida only plays with soft toys when mumma plays along with her, imitating them, making different sounds for different characters. Her favorite is "Pappy" the pink panther. Pappy is what Rida calls it . And her second favorite is the camel, she likes to play with it's ears and nose, ocassionally pull it's eyes too. Winnie the Pooh gets special attention only when he is alone:P <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGiEEK_hkPqNIo8IDT8xJHEOtbSBlpUXx13yJraOun5mHmuFQPS3VSObG0_icwaTcLd2ZAE4RWasKMHPlKCGe_3fBHOfXD4i-OWqcfHVaLbpvfLl2sH0GWlOZrBDw60x81kwqqrUjwg78D/s1600/rida+077.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463794484825806210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGiEEK_hkPqNIo8IDT8xJHEOtbSBlpUXx13yJraOun5mHmuFQPS3VSObG0_icwaTcLd2ZAE4RWasKMHPlKCGe_3fBHOfXD4i-OWqcfHVaLbpvfLl2sH0GWlOZrBDw60x81kwqqrUjwg78D/s400/rida+077.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><em>Hello! what's everyone waiting for?
