Its been a loooong time since my last post..over 2 years...:)
A lot has happened to me in the past 2 years.. i have go promoted from being wife to mum... :)
So I thought I would write on motherhood as my comeback post.Hoping that I can keep writing regularly..
I'm the mother of a 7 month old baby boy and i am loving every day , every moment of it..Its truly such an amazing feeling that comes when you reach home after the days work and see your baby , get all excited on seeing that your back home..I'm sure every mother would feel the same.
It sure is a tiring job , and i hear from all mothers that the worse is yet to come , but I'm truly loving it !!
Motherhood is teaching me so many things.. Its teaching me patience.. Its giving me a chance to be a child again... to sing the nursery rhymes.. to play peek -a- boo.. But most of all its taught me the meaning unconditional love ... !!

Choices & Decisions
"You are where you are and what you are today because of the choices and decisions that you have made in the past. You have either thought carefully and made your decisions based on good information and sound judgment, consistent with the highest values you know, or you have not.
Your choices and decisions of the past do not have to dictate your future. That was then and this is now.
You are in a constant state of growth and evolution. You made decisions when you were a child that you would never think of making as an adult. You made decisions last year, that you would not make this year, knowing what you now know. When you made those choices and decisions, you were a different person. Today, you are someone else.
Don't be held back by the mistakes you have made in the past. The person who made those mistakes was an earlier version of yourself. Today, you are a more mature and wiser person. You can make new choices based on the person you are today. You can make new decisions, based on your ever-growing storehouse of knowledge and experience.
Today, you can put your hands on the wheel of your own future and steer in whatever direction you want to go."
A friend of mine send me this as a forward...I liked it al lot. A bunch of sentences that make quite a lot of sense.
In life, If you want to be happy you have to move on..let go of old memories that hurt you and learn to forgive and forget.I dont say that I practise all this, but i would like to as life would be a much better and happier of we can let go..!well I'm oining to try my best!

The Namesake
What is in a name ? Ever wondered why our parents gave us our name ?I used to wonder as many people always found it difficult to say my name..
"The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri is the book that inspired me to think about the story behind each name. This book is a simple book about the "Ganguli" family.Ashok Ganguli moves to US ,which is the land of opportunities.He marries Ashima and they have two children, Gogol Ganguli (later Nikhil Ganguli) and Sonia Ganguli.
Now Gogol is a funny name ...well i thought so.Why would anyone name a person so?
Ashok Ganguli named his son after the author Nikolai Gogol.Ashok was reading the book "The overcoat" by this author when the train he was travelling met with an accident and if it was not for this book he was holding onto , he would have not been rescued and he would not have seen another day in his life...
The book revolves around Gogol..his life,his feeling for his parents when he was in school,college and as he grew up and how he came to admire and love his parents for all that they had done for him.He always thought the he was named so as his Dad's favourite author asGogol and one day when Ashok told the story of the night of the accident, Gogol was dumstruck. For Ashok, Gogol reminded him of everything that came after that dreadful night of the accident ..!!
It felt a lot like any ones true life story as everyone goes through the same phase in life..Phase when you feel your parents are the world , then when you are in your teens you find them nagging and not soo cool and then as you mature and grow older you understand and admire them more and more..for all that they have given you!
Our parents are the people who live for us and who would do anything to see their kids happy.I am so thankful for all the love and care and everything that my parents have given me..and for making me what I am today..Thank you Dad and Mum!

My first day in school!!!
Well.. i dont remember my first day in school... but i remember my first day in my new office .
The first day in my new office , i felt like a school kid who had joined in between the term..!All the friends groups would be formed and you would not be accepted anywhere...and the teachers would have covered a lot of portions and you would be struggling to get into the pace..thats the feeling I had on joining my new office...I was missing my friends and the old company and work...It toook me some time to ge adjusted to the new environment and make friends..and i still am doing that.
But I guess I have got used to this environment too...!!!Got used to just looking at the monitor and minding my own work and doing my own work. Finding company in the precence of my system and I guess this made me start blogging...
Well you cant turn around time and you will have to make the best out of the situations that life gives you..After all thats Life!!
And the biggest moral of my story :The grass is always greener on the other side!!!

For My Grandfather!!
My grandfather passed away on Jan 24th 2008 in the early hours of the morning at the age of 91. He was a very loving ,caring and cheerful person..
I had grew with my grandparents till I was almost six years.The only memories I have of those days are the times when i used to go around with my sitting on his cycle.I rememeber how i used to trouble my grandmother to carry me from my nursery school to home.Also of those days when there used to be paddy feild in front of our home and people used to come to cut and get the paddy into rice..
My grandfather loved sweets, chocolates and he always used to get us chocolates everytime he went out, even days before he passed away.
I cant imagine the house without seeing him on the chair in the front porch of our house.
But God takes away people he loves most fast.And I hope and pray that his soul is resting in peace.And I am so glad that he took the shirt I bought for him when he left this earth...

Memories....Last forever!
Ham rahe na rahe kal...Kal yad ayye yeh pal..!!(whether we are there or not tomorrow, we will remember these moments tomorrow)
These are the words from KK's album "Pal". Its a song that takes me back over the years...over all those memories...School, college, life...the people that I came across..people that are still part of my life and that are not..Each person is a part of the canvas for that moment of my life which we spend together.Sometimes I dream I can go back in time and change a lot of things in life.Go back to school and enjoy those classes and those moments with friends...go back to college ..enjoy!
I never understood in school or college why everyone says that school days are the best.I used to always envy my parents that they dont have to do any homework , dont have to worry about any exams etc.But now at this point in life I would give anything to go back in life to enjoy those days again.Wish I could build a time machine to go back and forth as I wanted.
Lots of wishes...but looking back at all the people who made me the person that I am today.. My parents, grandparents, uncles,aunts, friends, classmates, roommates....I am happy that I have so many memories to remember so many moments to treasure..Thank you all for all that.. and looking forward for all the memories to come..
