with love- to my shona momma

Shonnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaa Mommmaaaaaaaa... I want to see you.. play with you..please come down to Bangalore and we will have lots of fun.. I know you are leading an extremely busy life, you have turned hyperactive and Ajji, Putta momma and Momma are completely exhausted. They need energy drinks, and soya chunks, egg whites and iron tablets to become strong enough to take care of you. From where do you get so much of energy,shona??
I was waiting to see you do ' mummmm-mummmm' but not once you did that for me..so bad of you :(
But I am sure by the end of this year, you'll start talking..small words like Ajji, Taata, Daddy, Momma, Putta..and then you will start walking on your own..little wobbly baby steps :D
And then we will lots of games, okai?
Shona Muddu, you are the becht kooch in the oonivalch..and I yuv ya veyi veyi much.. Mwaaaaaaaaaah!

your friend cum philosopher cum soul mate

Story of an Acer

It started precisely on the 17th of April..going blank all of a sudden and coming back to the same state after closing for a while..oh hell! I am talking about my ex-lappy guys! It kept blinking and blinking..and even after my repeated attempts of pumping life into it...my lappy crashed!

So P suggested that we should go in for another laptop..oh, those Golden Verse, I tell you...I was like.. Wow!! R u for real?
After my research on eBay and Acer.in I zeroed on this beauty.. ACER 4760Z..Next day we went to Mantri Square.. and voila! we bought this beauty..

An Eventful Week..

Last one week had been hectic, yet eventful.. On 1st April, it was Ani's Munji.. and the program was a great success. Almost 120 guests had come to bless him..the food was great and everything went well..Thanks to support of all our relatives..and specially to Chandu Aunt and Pommy Aunt.

Thursday was the most awaited historical day in any office-goer's life, as it was a long weekend. Fri- Sat- Sun..pure bliss!
We had been to Mantri Square, India's biggest shopping mall till date.. with huge parking..and lots of shops to visit. Shopper's Stop, Lifestyle, Pantaloons..all under the same roof. However, toilets and food courts were disappointing.. but looking at the huge footfall on that day, it could be excused.

On Saturday, we had been to Garuda Mall.. I had every intent of buying myself a new valet.. but didn't find anything suitable to my requirement and taste.. I bought a simple pair of slip-on and that was all.

Sunday was a bit sad day, as it reminded me of the next day..the same routine, and boredom combined with stress of a normal day. However, we went to Sigma Mall.. and I bought myself a kurta and paijaama...we had been to Rajvansh, an authentic Rajasthani Thali restaurant. Even though the food was good.. I think the price not very reasonable.. even though they serve unlimited, our tummy has limited space.. infact very limited when food is loaded with ghee.. but it was a good experience..
So is this what I call an eventful weekend? Errr... nooo... but at least for 3 days I have done what I love..to go out and lots of window shopping.. mall hopping..
But this is not all that I intend to do.. next time whenever there is a long weekend.. I am gonna go out to some place..and travel to a nearby hillstation... that's for sure.

Shona Momma, Poo said that you are doing ' mummm mummm...' sho shweeeeeeeet shona! I wish I could see you doing that... I miss you too much raani!

Love You!

A letter to Shona-part2

Shona bhangaara, Putta mumma has sent snaps of you in two pony tails.. errr..just two tails..rather fountains...and you are looking cho very chweeeet Muddu! Just tell me, how do u manage to hold that expression in front of the camera? The sad part of growing up is that, we leave the innocence and curiosity behind.
We all become so conscious in front of the camera that we leave out the most important part..that is real 'US':(

Kandamali, keep giggling always...muwaaah...love you chinnu!

A letter to Shona

Hey Shona,
In no time, you'll be big enough to operate computer and learn to chat. Then we can regularly chat and keep in touch, right Shona? You know what Shona, we miss you lotz and Tata keeps on talking about you all the time. I watch your videos everyday. I hardly go the other room since you've left, and I think Mini Mousie is starting to feel lonely without you. Winnie the Pooh looks grim and the home looks colorless without you.

Shona, Putta Momma was telling that you were looking very cute in two pony tails last eve. I wish I could see you..I'm sure when you grow up, we will have a blast. I do not know, whether you will laugh at my silly jokes, but I will be able to connect to you at every age.

Gotta go, churn out a quick meal...c ya later Muddest Paapa... Ummmmah!

Your Best Friend- Peetu Mom

To my Shona Momma,

Shona Momma, it was great having you here..playing with you all the time and looking at your lovely ways of expression, giggles and frustration at times..I felt as though lots of positive energy was being pumped into the atmosphere when you were around, and now I suddenly feel empty in every way.
But I am eagerly waiting to see you again..now that you've sprouted your first little tooth, I am waiting to see your cutest grin... :D
I am waiting for the day when you'll be old enough to listen to the bedtime stories and ask umpteen questions..
love you shona..love you LLLOTTTS and LLLOTTTTS :x
