Mi Vida Loca!

Hi friends,

Hope you all are well, happy and having a gaala time. Its not been very long since I wrote my last post and here I am writing another one. I should get a pat on my back for taking time for it :)

What made me write this post saying "Mi Vida Loca" is the life I am living these days, its full of fun, laughs, smiles , cheers and madness.. touchwood.

In spanish, "Mi Vida Loca" means "My crazy life"  :) :) and it holds true for me these days, Thanks to my 2 year old daughter who is such a bundle of energy, cuteness, innocence and love.

In my previous posts I had revealed that I was pregnant and I have so many posts in draft which says, "Its a girl", "She is here" etc but sadly didn't get time to write them.. sooo bad..

But today as I am sitting in my office looking at my lil one's photos and videos and thinking about how much happiness she has filled our lives with, has compelled me to pen it down.

Our daughter turned 2 this year and everyone around us were telling us about the saying Terrible Two's.. which refers to the terrible time two years old give to their parents by being mischievous and doing naughty stuff.. but hang on.. I don't think soo.

Since our lil one has turned two.. she's become even more sweeter.. well behaved and she says some things which I wasn't even saying when I was say 20 years old.

Every Morning I get her ready for nursery and when she knows its time to leave she goes to her dad, waves to me and says "Bye mumma, have a lovely day in the office".. the best thing I hear every morning

When I come back, she runs to me gives me a biiig hug and clings to me like a monkey and tells me how much she missed me. :)
One day I asked her,
Me : "Anaya did you sleep in the afternoon"
She replied:  "Nooo , coz Anaya saaad"
Me: "Why were you sad babba??"
She: "Because mumma went to office :(" and that moment my heart just met like butter on a pan. I felt so bad.. but I think it was one of those days and I made up for it.

My in laws visited us this summer and she mingled so well with them saying "Daaduu-Daadi I love you". She knew that they weren't keeping well so she'll say "Daadu, Daadi paraceetamool" after dinner :)
One day her Daadu fell from the chair since then everytime she sees him sitting on the chair she'll say "Be careful Daaadu, no sliding"

She's so full of energy that she will just jump up and down and say "Look at meeeee, I am jumping in the muddy pudddllllee"

She wakes up in te morning and says "Hi mumma, Hi pappa"
When papa leaves for office she'll say "Bye Pappa, I love you"

She'll have her food at night and then scurry across the room as if she's digesting it doing all sorts of different dances and performances.

At night, she'll take my hand and say "Lets go mumma, sleepy time" because she wants me to read her books.. She loves reading books and I am so thankful to god about it and I'll do anything to encourage her because in this digital age, its very easy not to read and just watch.

She got gifted a doctor set on her birthday, and now Dr Anaya Rana, checks everyone with her doctor kit, starting with the stethoscope, the mouth piece, thermometer etc and by the end the answer is "I think you are alright" Sooo sweet..


I can't stop telling you about the things she does to make my everyday so happy and full of fun.
And please stop giving this notion that there is a thing called Terrible Twos because there isn't. Its all about how you bring up your child.

That's all I want to say in my Funny feelings today.. my little one has made my life so crazy that I look forward to every single day with her..TOUCHWOOD..
Hope it continues forever and hope your lives are as crazy as mine.

Cheerios!!!

Lost and Found!

Hi Dear Friends,

I know its been a very long time since I have written a post. Not that I didn't have any funny feelings but got so busy doing the daily routine and mommy activities that did not think this was important anymore.

Until today when I just happened to read the blogs again and I felt so good. And I couldn't help imagining that its been 2 yeas since I have written my last blog and reading it was so much fun. Imagine how would I feel after 20 years. Hence this post is to the feeling of realisation and the person who made me realise it.

This blog-post is all about friendship. Its one of those relationship which gets overlooked sometimes, because we feel that other relationships are far more important that this.
I too felt the same. I always thought that friends are there to pass time, in school, in college at work. To hangout, party, go shopping etc. I had many friends at school, college, locality but eventually moved on and lost all contact with them. Never kept up-to-date with their lives, and just continued with my own. And now thanks to Facebook that we are friends again but the spark is gone. The spark to tell them any good news, spark to crib about a situation, spark to be partners in crime all the time.

But luckily one of those lost friendship has reignited again, and I cannot tell you how happy I feel about it. Its like all this time I was seeing myself getting older and then this friend appeared and I am young again. I am chatting, cribbing, fighting, scolding again just like the good old days.

We were at the same company for a brief period of time but in that brief time was long enough to be friends for life time. We used to spend time with each other, work together, study together, mostly eat together and most importantly have Chai together. and Chai as you know brings out your emotions better than liquor :P

Then life moved on, he had to travel overseas for onward studies and I decided to settle once and for all. I guess we both got so busy with our new lives that we forgot to miss each other. For me it was a change of country too, he also eventually got married and got settled. And we both lost contact with each other completely.

I did used to remember him sometimes but refrained to send him a catch-up email thinking its been too long an what will he think.
Then there was the dip, I don't know whether it was the post baby depression, stressful job, family duties or absence of  good friends. I started missing him more and more. Whenever I used to think of sharing something which I couldn’t  share with my partner, my parents, my siblings, I missed him even more. And I was sure that he must be going through the same.
But I always had this gut feeling  that one day we will connect again. I didn't know when, how but I always told to myself that it was a special friendship and it would definitely come back.

One such usual day, I put my young one to bed and realised a message pop up and to my biggest surprise, it was that friend. He messaged me back and told me how much he missed me and I had nothing else to say than me too, me too 😊

He going through a bad patch and just wanted to let it out. We both caught up with each other’s lives and felt so stupid not connecting so many years. And even though we were talking after 5 years precisely, we could talk like we just spoke yesterday. Nothing was changed and that’s the best part of friendship that true friends never change.
We talk regularly now morally support each other and have each other’s back.

That’s what I want to convey that friendship is the relationship that you are not born with, you choose to be in it and make it. Don’t just let it go. Treasure your friends and your friendships. Pick up that phone and call your friend ask him if he’s okay tell him about yourself. Don’t wait for the dip to happen or a bad patch to start before you contact them because then it becomes all the more difficult.

I personally feel so happy these days, my irritation levels, frustration levels have gone down and I feel all the more happier.

So this is it friends, I had lost and found a friend but I hope you guys don’t lose yours and if you did, better find them again.

With this funny feeling good bye
Cheerios!!!
