Aarav - Top 10

off late we are having too much fun with aarav( exclude tantrum times). he talks and talks and talks. omg is so interesting to see his kutty brain thinking so hard. love my boy.

here comes my favorite top ten moments in no particular order-

1. we bought a new big pressure cooker and mini idly plates. kitchen items being his favorite, he played and played and played with them till he went to bed. he even filled up the idly plates with batter on his own. i love the fact that he is so much into cooking. and the highlight of that night- he wanted to keep the pressure cooker in our bero.reason -"badhrama vekkanum" lol
2. he rolls out awesome chapatis that are almost 80percent perfect. i recorded the same to spread the message.super super hit the video is.
3. this one s kinda sad moment for me.and for him too. we sent him for day care till 31 jul 14 and since i had quit my job, i was supposed to pick him up from playschool by 12 noon from 1 aug 14 since we didnt pay for day care for august month. one newly joined playschool teacher misguided me askig me to pick him at 12.30pm on aug 1st. so when i went at 1230 to pick him up my lil guy seemed so restless and tired from crying. the moment he saw me he almost broke up saying, 'amma miss mammu thara maatengara'. poor guy. since we hadnt paid for day care and to teach me a lesson for not makig this late pick up a habit, they have forbidden gim from taking his lunch there, which has been his usual routine for more than an year. paavam he felt so bad and kept saying the same thing the whole day. this is for no fault of mine and his. atleast they could have given him little food and asked me not to repeat this practise once again. cha feeling bad for him.
4. he demanded my appa to get chocolates and biscuit for him. my appa told him that he didnt have any money. bang came the reply- use ur debit card. well said smart boy!
5. he LOVES Beetroot stir fry. the enthusiasm with which he picks out a beetroot whnever we go for veggie shopping is contagious i say. his facial expression on spotting and touching the beetroot will turn anyone into a beetroot lover. Or aleast me.
6. he hates sharing things with others. he wont touch or use others' things and he ll expect the same courtesy from them. so when people touch his things, he starts doubting them and goes the extra mile to keep his things safe. its so funny so see him take care of his belongings. he wont even miss a pencil or eraser. a trait which he has definitely not inherited from me.( divya dear, i can visualise u nodding in agreement)
7. one day he was speaking non stop and i could just gaze in amazement. this little boy of mine had grown up so much that he has got an opinion on every single thing that happens around him. i dont know why but suddenly i was drenched in 'feelings' and got so emotional. aarav darling-dont grow up so fast.. slow down baby:)
8. he can rightly say the capital of 16 Indian states and 5 neighbouring countries as on date. and the list keeps increasing. *feeling proud*
9. heights of frustration- he wantedly peed on a big bucket full of washed clothes ready to be dried.grrrr.
10. anand- aarav naama aeroplane la polaamadaa
aarav- vendaam appa. vizhundhudum.
ROFL
Love u little guy:)

The one without job :)

I ve quit my job. I am jobless now. And I am happy about it.

When I couldnt get through the Group Discussion round in my first round of my first campus interview, I was one heart broken girl. I wanted to get a job so badly. I got placed in a marketing job with a good pay packet but I quit the job on the same day of joining because I felt marketing was not my cup of tea. Then again I was frantically searching for a job and finally I found myself joining NSE. Life seemed perfect. 

Then marriage and pregnancy happened and I lost my job again. Again I was heart broken but this time I was pregnant.  Aarav darling was born and after a two year gap, I got a job again and this time I was more than happy.

I had to put Aarav in daycare and I was perfectly OK with it. I was away from home and him and Anand from 930 to 730 and I didnt feel bad at all. But something didnt feel right over the year. I dont want to go too much into the reasoning but I am content with my decision. Lets see what life has in store for me:)
