Welcome 2015!!!

Am so excited to start 2015, with lot of new ideas, resolutions, goals, don’t and dos, hopes…..I have loads to look forward to and everything is etched in my mind, which I soon plan to pen down and review it constantly which reminds me to move my a** from my comfort zone routine AND to take up challenges this year!!!!!
Yes, I have thought a lot during last month and in one sentence would like to describe my 2014 as “ Life cirled in a routine”; which I definitely plan to break it this year, now that samy is a year older.
DECEMBER ended well and fast, with last day with family and cousins, had gala time and good dinner. It was not a long partying night (as I wished); Harsha dropped us back home and went out partying….Yes, I can complain but choose not to….I reason it with myself that Sammy is young and he needs me by his side ……Harsha is one person I owe everything to, especially my self confidence, my happiness and whatever I had achieved is all because of him, so I shall take it easy now that I have my own precincts. At times, when I cant sleep I remember how much I loved my job and harsha was always so encouraging and inspiring to do more and was there with me always….My travels were made so easy cos of his support; which made me love the new cities and people and embrace them with the little time I was there….I picked interests in writing and investments; have proved to be a responsible daughter to my parents and a big sister..I owe a lot to my husband….. Just like the meticulous Piscean, I drown into the dreamland; just to get away from my well written routine (no regrets)!!!!
Its just 3 days into new year and my biggest agonize of Samrudh’s quirkiness and health ( assume it was his pending worm medicines) is washed off…My kiddo seem to be full of zip and doing fine, he is playing non-stop and talking non-stop; which is the biggest treat I can ask for..Its just the simplest things about him that makes me get back to existence and dream more….He demands and I Fret; but we hug tightly and cuddle each other like never before….We fight and I scream, he runs to me asking for the most cutest apology and its back to never ending kisses and cudles…so Beautiful !!!!I don’t miss to watch him sleep, Don’t miss asking him simplest and foolishest questions and just stare at him answering me so seriousy….Dont miss taking him out every evening and teachin him the smallest lessons of life, to love animals and treat women with respect, say Hello and smile, say No and Thank you, realizing how much in turn he is teaching me!!!!
Well, I shall start writing down my 2015 MUST –DO’s…Meanwhile A few for myself:
1.       Keep myself busy – ALL THE TIME…
2.       Read loads of books
3.       Write …Journal, my interests, Investments, learnings, new words…
4.       Learn Music ( long pending)
5.       Indulge in artistic stuff…do something at home…change that room looks!
6.       Exercise…Yes, I have a thin built, but focus on health and exercise, Yoga!


Just the basics….Wishing everyone a very happy and Prosporous new year!!!!

December 2014

I have been having pretty good month.....I have been active ( socially), with friends and dinner meets....I have been trying my hands on Instant cooking ( I mean decide at fag end and just chop and saute) ; keeping my son engaged in outings and games, fighting the challenges thrown by his mood changes and demands ( Yes, am prepared most of the time and I win!); Trading ( Loser most of the time); blog reading, planned get together with my parents and sis fly, making Christmas plans for Sammy boy, Shopping ( Big time with all those clothes waiting for labels to be removed); still checking online for sales( i fear); bank work, clearing policy bills, learning shapes and colours with lil one.......uff, Isnt this a big thing!!!!!

With H travelling most of the month, am just left with planning options so we dont miss him much....I missed the 'soul sante', which was so badly in my wish list ; sammy was unwell and dint wat to put him thro torture tagging him along. We skipped and played at home.

Making it up with 2 Lunch dates this week and I want Sam to try some different cuisines. Hopefully I can manage along with keeping up with my never ending wish to be out and try them all !!!!

2 Salwar suites for stitching pending but never dare to step out for that since its never turned out well...

I have done the biggest and most awaited thing all year..I chopped my hair by few inches and I feel so light!!!! Its not great but am loving the feeling....CHOP CHOP CHOP

Love
Shrutzzz

Am scared of BF/Lunch and Dinner time!!!

YES, its the toughest phase.....
Am just unable to find a solution to the ever increasing issues - FOOD issues with my son...
Only Chocolate and Ice cream seem to interest him.....Milk an Exception...
Rice is a Big NO NO
Vegetables and fruits - He seem to be losing interest....
Dosa and Idly - depends on his mood
Chappati - NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Now, i dont stop here and have tried many different recipes, which might interest him....
Bread toast with butter and Jam
Sweet Chapati ( My sisters son loved it)
Roti rolls....
Instant dosas, tailored to suit his taste buds...

NOTHING seem to interest him and he just runs away the moment he sees me with a plate.....
SOLTUION????? JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE
if he is hungry he will demand food....

Really?????

NoVeMbEr!!!!

This describes ME, My life , My current status!!!!
Well, Its November and 6 more weeks to conclude the lovely 2014!!!!

Its been mentally and physically exigent to manage the routine effortlessly, since Sammy boy doesn't behave the same and its real crazy to match his temperament and his demand for my time; makes my PLAN go upside down. His spirit is unmatchable and leads to asperity in my voice all day long, troubling me at times with the behavior.

Maybe its age3 act with all kids; but the mother who handles differ and few might be apropos at this act, but I fail at times to hold the fort right. It starts from the time he wakes up; demanding for milk and screaming without reason until its time for his school..I would be half parched and then comes by home related work. The routine cutting, dicing and cooking continues day in and day out, reading in between which seems like my only means of peace at that moment. The rest of day continues with more drama and fun, playing in the park in the evening which is a part of our routine now.

Loving the weather this month and today I took a walk to the bank while it drizzled, chucking my bike for a change. Weekend is almost here and my Plans are on to take my son to a bird santury this saturday.

Sammy turns 3......

22- Sep-2014
My lil one is 3 yr old! Like all mothers, I started my day with the nostalgia; The anticipation during 3rd trimester enjoying the big fat belly and all the eating ; Finally the pains, to the eagerness of what was awaiting ahead of us, the labor and then the lil Sammy in our lives....Holding my lil one was all it required for me to expunge what life had been before this? Really, I have no flow of it anymore….

In the past year, in the midst of my son learning to talk 2 different languages and struggling with one more, his pre-school learning’s and new tricks and games, unlimited energy to run , question things, explain us those imaginary and his stories, I have started to enjoy every bit of new-fangled phase and at the same time I have lost the ability to tolerate and stay calm, to an extent I get petrified when am I gonna just burst out or am just being Fatuous ? Maybe yes, Maybe No…Its that phase where am smiling at one moment and almost in tears next, throwing tantrums just like Sammy….

My major part of day / current phase of life is all about Sammy and his growing up….Its the tiny outings with my friends and H, family that I relish and fancy!


Well, the bday boy wore his new tee and shorts to school, his glee when he took those chocolates to share with his frens! His sweet innocent “Thank you”, when  someone wished him Happy bday was a treat for me personally….My parents visited us in the evening and then we were off to JWM for dinner which just made my day (our) fun to conclude…Food and Ambience was what alleviated me and what a perfect way to say cheers to the bday boy!!!!

20 September 2014

Celebrations.....

We all jammed up at Ulsoorpet this morning, reason being its "Paksha masa", a tradition followed by Brahmin community to take blessing of the 3 generation who are no more, by giving tarpana.....You perform a ceremony to bring them in today and take their blessings and enjoy a sumptuous meal post that which includes my Fav Uddina Vada ( home made, simply YUM!!!!!).

Its definetely a look-forward day since my lil one gets to play with his cousins and let me free, while I get to tee-e tee with the women folk and take a look at cooking and rest of stuff....

We also celebrated Sammy's bday, who turns 8. Something unplanned yet a lovely time with the family!!!!

Looking forward for next week.....
