Happa... how one can be sooo energetic, happy without anything to care about. Forgets the advises and restrictions. Remembers only to do whatever they like and feel happy to do. Always roaming about with glittering eyes and ever smiling face. Yeah I am talking about Vaishu.. The smiling killer... She is becoming 3 on 25th August...



Now she has many friends to play at school and at home. She gets attached to everyone easily... Whenever she talks about her friends I remember my school and street friends whom I used to enjoy my childhood days... I feel that Vaishu is in the best part of the life time that will be cherished in our whole life. The rhymes she says sounds to be familiar for me and I also enjoy reciting the same along with her with the actions. She goes to the school always dressed up nicely like going to a party. The teachers at school says that she is one of the happiest kid in the school. She comes with the smiling face and says good morning to all the teachers at school. Morning, it is a 100 crore worth job to wake her up, dress up her, making her to eat breakfast and then sending her to school(My mom would have also done the same for me). Evening, I donno in which apartment she will be hanging around. Otherwise she goes out to park or temple. She threatens everybody at home. When her dad or grandpa returns back home she runs around them, hugs them and she feels immense pleasure on seeing them. Most of the time her dad says ABCD at Midnights to make her sleep. This is the colorful days of everybody's life. Vaishu is enjoying it and we are also looking back our preschool days....

That was an exotic one day trip to Bheemeshwari jungle lodges and resorts. We picked up everybody (13 persons) with breakfast and left Bangalore by 7.00am in a tempo traveller.



On the way we had a nice breakfast with idli,vada and uppma (uppma was great). Then we drove to the destination. That was a fantastic drive with one side flowing river cauvery and other side deep valley full of dense forests. We reached Bheemeshwari at 10.00 am.

We had a welcome lemon drink and saw the scenic view of the river. Trekking guide came and took us for trekking
The Gang at Bheemeshwari.

We had 3 kms of climbing on a hill and reached a top view point. Woow, that scenery from the top was real beauty. The river flowing in between the mountains filled with green forests. That will make us to forget all our city crush and crash.


Then we started from there and reached the surface. There awaited another nature beauty. River flowing through rocks with force and pressure (I have seen this kind of nature only in Tamil village movies).

All of a sudden 3 of us dipped our foot in to the river. That’s a really fascinating experience.


The guide helped us to reach the middle of the river and we sat on a rock. We played in that pure water for more than an hour.

The guide told us that our lunch is waiting in the resort. OOK let us also give something for our stomach. We walked through the river bed. The river mud, large trees, pebble stones, roots of the trees very much surprised to see those aged ones

We had a life giving lunch in the resort. Then we played and took some rest in hammock forgetting our targets and traffic.

At 3.45pm the guide came and took as for a coracle ride. I felt scared when he gave us the life jacket. But when he took us inside the middle of the river, it was a good experience to have a river below you with four sides of mountain.




After coracle ride, we had tea and snacks with talks about Kannada, Telugu, Hindi and Tamil Movies.


Filled with joy we left Bheemeshwari around 6.30 pm and reached again the CITY life by 9.30Pm.

Vaishu Don't touch that, vaishu Don't go there.... vaishu Be careful....VAISHU give that to me don't break it.... You can hear these in my house more frequently.... Happa what a busy girl she is?? Keeps us also active...Those little hands and legs does more work than us.She is not afraid of anything. She never cares about others. She does whatever she thinks and likes. She try things on her own. Very much technology oriented, plays only with mobile, DVD player, DVDs, PC, Remote etc... This small wonder takes money from her grandpa's pocket, sleeps in her grandma's saree, dances with her dad and plays with me.. She calls me to play ball... She loves to dance for shivaji songs with her dad.... Gud at listening music...I am the only person who restricts her in house and she threatens me saying something which is not understandable by this whole world...She says aaaa to call anybody, waves her hand to bid a bye, and gives her hand for shake hands. She loves going for shopping only in MALLS (with Air conditioned). If we ask her "where is vaishu?" she keeps her hands near her heart (symbolically saying that its me).
That is a pleasure to have little miracle in our house. Without her our house is just a house, with her its a mess. But a house with mess only becomes a home.Before one year there was no such joy and work in our life. But now we enjoy this wonder. OOOOh here comes her first birthday 25th August. Awaiting to see more mischievous wonders from her side.......

SCENARIO: I forwarded some snaps of a house given to aish and abi by amitabh. Some of my friends questioned, did they come and tell you that they are gonna give this paradise to aish and abhi. This was my answer I wanted to give them.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH… One fine morning, I heard somebody knocking my door. I felt irritated abt the persons who came inbetween a sweet dream I had. I opened the door and saw Amitabh and Jaya standing at my doorstep.
I invited them into my hall… Then I went and brushed my teeth(I don’t talk without brushing). I gave them Nescafe to drink. They told that it is their son’s marriage and they wanted me to be present and honor that function. It was nice to see happiness in their face. Every parent feel happy on their son or daughter’s marriage. They are also feeling happy.
OOOh no it was a working day for me. I told amitabhji always duty comes first for me, so please don’t mistake I will not be able to attend the marriage. Jayaji came to my kitchen, Amitabh was looking at my hall. Jayaji told that they are constructing a similar (like mine) house for aish and abi. And they are doing interiors for that. She also told that, don’t tell this to anybody b’cos it is a surprise gift.
Then I made poori for them, they had nice breakfast. They left with joyful heart and full stomach. While leaving Amitabh said that "he is looking for a house similar to mine, soon it will be done like my house".
Jayaji gave me a hug and kiss. I said a bye for them standing in front of my rented house which is in second floor.
Do you think Amitabh can make a house similar to mine???? NO WAY……..

OOh god will you give me one more minute so that I can do the following leisurely....
I need 1 more minute
To cook more deliciously
To eat leisurely
To dress up nicley
To walk to the bus stop slowly
To catch my office bus which passes by in front of me
To talk with my better half cooly
To talk with my friends and relatives over phone for another minute
To say a hi to you (GOD)
To arrange my house (which will be a mess in morning time)
To say a bye to my kid when i am leaving from house
To think about my future
To nourish my past
To listen fully to a music
To watch a movie at a stretch.
To sit and have coffee
To read a fresh and new magazine
To have a look at the new flower in my garden
To laugh with all
To cry alone
OOOh god will u give me another minute.....

Our latest companion. OOOOOh it is nice to have a picture capturer by our side always. Whenever we want to make a note of some happenings or some incidence or some happy moments, we definitely need it. This was one of my life long desire, that i should have a nice camera with current technology and menus. We have got one now. It is Canon powershot S3 IS model from US (brought by my brother in law (Athan)). I didnt spend enough time with it. But then too i liked the zoom, clarity and the ease of operating it. That is also looking like a professional camera, I liked its appearance.So miles to go long with our latest entry (Canon PowerShot)..........

This is the first long drive I had in my car. Exciting...... We(myself and balaji(mama)) were thinking for a week about our plans for this little longer weekend. So finally we decided to go to Koti linga temple in kolar. I dont have a proper idea abt the where abouts of this temple. But I read in a journal that it might take some 2 1/2 hours to reach there from bangalore. My parents also joined us. My mom got up early morning, she made lunch and breakfast. We had poori and kurma for breakfast, that was really breaking the fasting. I made my kid ready and arranged everything for her. She was also excited now. Balaji checked whether the car is in gud condition. we got into the car by 9.00 Am. The car went thru' the old madras road and we filled the tank and checked the air in a petrol bunk. When we came out of the city that was very beautiful on both sides of the road, lakes on one side and rose garden on other side. it was a single lane road. Balaji drove the car very carefully. My mom was seeing thru the windows and we were admiring the scenery. On the way we halted in shanthi sagar had nice coffee(it was cheap also). I thought we were very nearer to the temple. But after that we travelled for another hour. Finally after a great adventure we reached the temple by 11.50 am. The temple was full of lingas with a big linga in centre. And many gods like vishnu,brahma,annapurani,kanniga parameswari where also there for dharisanam. The temple was really nice, clean and different to see. Then we came out of the temple by 1.00 pm, we thought we can go to bangaru tirupathi which is nearer. So we asked a shopkeeper, automan the route to bangaru tirupathi. He said only 4 kms. But we took a wrong route and there we asked a farmer, who told that if you go further you will reach Andhra... ooooh. So we took a diversion there. nobody was there on the road side to ask for route also. rarely we see people. full of trees on either side of the road. With a guess we turned in a circle.. aaah we saw some persons and asked them abt the route, They guided us. Yesss we got it. The temple was simply superb. The different thing here is we could see god perumal only through the windows. That was also nice. It was a very old temple. Had good darisanam. When we came out of the temple, there was a lady who was making vada. One vada cost 50 paisa(cheaaaaaaap compared to bangalore). We got it, it was tasty. Now only we remembered our stomach(feeling hungry). Searched for a place for relaxation. aaaaah here it is... there was a small water tank with a tap nearby. so we parked the car there. Opened the lunch. Wowwwww.... puliyodarai, thayir sadam, chutney(prepared by Mom). Had a delicious lunch there.Its the time for us to return back home.Now we very well know the route also. So with full enthu balaji drove the car and landed in santhi sagar, had coffee. On the way we saw a nursery. The nursey had lot of varieties of plants. we bought 3 rose plants. Reached home by 5.30PM. It was a wonderful experience I have ever had in my life. The first long trip in our WAGONR......

Yesss... This may be the apt title for this. My kid. She is the one god has gifted me on August 25th. I love to be with her always. But I have to leave her at home with my mom. There is no creche in the office..... She is jus 3 months old and it seems that I had lived with her for years together. The way she looks at me, the way she smiles. It's really a gift. The first month, I had night without sleep. But I didnt realise that I have not slept that night when i saw her in the morning. She sleeps nicely at daytime as if she had night shift. Rarely she smiles looking at our face. They say that the child cant see in first month. But I felt that she can recognize me and calls me when she was hungry. The second month she opens her mouth nicely and laughs. She can see images now. She smiles at everybody.... very friendly... She loves taking bath. She enjoys hot water falling through her body. I donno to bathe her.. after taking bath i used to dress her up.She looks like a fairy. She knows that I am doing something interesting.... She loves to hear music. She has a toy also now to play... listen to the music played by the toy and also the movement of the toy. When the toy stops its music she will cry....again give key... SO days with her went like this. Here comes the third month. She is very naughty. She loves going out and seeing shops,lights... Doctor asked her shall we go for a dating... she laughed with all her mouth open. Doctor gave us the feedback active and healthy baby.. uppsssss we went to the doctor regarding that she has got cold. And we got no medicine. Now she sleeps from 7.00pm to 2.00Am. very early bird.... oooh sleepless nights... really hectic in office.... But i am having her picture in my desktop. That gives energy to me. Now it is december very cold I am wearing sweater and sleep with 2 bedsheets. But she doesnt want anything. She hates wearing sweaters and bedsheets she pulls it off. she also hates huggies. When we remove that huggies she smiles freeeeeeeeeeeely. She likes to eat biscuits. I am thinking to give advertisement for Good day biscuits. She lovvvvvvvvvvves Good day biscuit. She wants that biscuit as a whole. she watches mega serials... and she can recognize many characters in that. Seeing some characters she smiles and give a look as if she know them personally. MANY THINGS TO SHARE...... In the next journal.
