Kavya is going through this phase where she wants to do everything amma does..If amma wears a pink salwar, she needs a pink pant dress..If amma keeps Santhanam, she wants it too, if amma gets a new dress, she wants one too..The other day when amma went shopping leaving Kavya at home, amma came home with a blue new dress..Kavya started crying on seeing the new dress saying Kavyakku pudhu dress

For the past few months, Kavya has developed a liking to listening to stories and trying to use pieces of them in the everyday life..Once she listened to the story of how Ganesha got his elephant head..She saw the Bal Ganesh video and the next thing she does is this - She dances a few steps, calls it Rudra Thaandi (Rudra thandavam of Shiva when he gets angry with Ganesha for not letting him into

Hey, dunno if the blog missed me, but I sure have missed writing about a lot of things Kavya has been upto these days..Damn, I don't have that time anymore....With her going to school ,the long rides in the evenings, stories in the night and many other things keep me so occupied with the lil one...Maybe she is not a lil one anymore..Maybe she is..I really dont know..She keeps growing a bit every

Some lil everyday moments that make my day these days are- Seeing Kavya sit down on the stairs to put on her shoes and socks..She patiently waits for amma to finish this and then hurriedly starts off to school.- Dropping Kavya off at school, seeing her rush inside to hand over her lunch bag to her teacher and waiting for her turn to play in the swing..- Pointing out different things to Kavya and

Kavya has become amma's lil helper these days whenever she is in a mood !!!! She now wipes the kitchen counter if there is some spill on it, takes the broom and sweeps whenever she has made the place dirty, promptly returns each and everything to where it belongs once she is finished with doing watever with it !!!! Once amma says the word, Kavya clean up, lets go to bed, she immediately puts back

Kavya finished her first homework in her life a few days back and it was homework time for amma too after a gap of nearly 10 years..Must say it was a great combination..Kavya was supposed to join the dots making a wave and repeat that action for 10 times..Naturally she being just 2.5, amma needed to hold her hand..Kavya did it twice and then became bored and started crying..She wouldnt even look

This blog has been dormant for quite sometime now, thanks to the preschool hunting job that amma has been busy at !!! Amma must have called and looked at a dozen schools that by now she can turn into a preschool broker if need be !!!!! Interviews with parents, correspondents, principals, teachers..Its been a tough month..But we have found it..a good one according to us for Kavya..Its near home,

Kavya's new skill is saying Shame Shame Puppy Shame All the mataaas know ur name..When amma reads the morning paper, Kavya sits with her and sees the pictures in the paper, spotting elephant, tiger, giraffe and what not !!! Today morning she saw the ad for Crusoe and started saying Anna shame shame...Then she browsed through some vikatans and snegidhiye magazines, saying Shame Shame everytime she

Kavya is becoming more and more choosy these days..She wants all her things in a particular way all the time !!!FRUITS : She wants the apple, peeled without any browns or reds in it! She will eat bananas by biting the whole thing..If we slice it for her, she will make us stick the slices together before she bites it !!!!! Dates should be had as a whole even if it means loads of jollu falling to

Yesterday, amma and Kavya went to the terrace to get some fresh air...Kavya looked at the sky and said Nila Amma, chesent nila,aiiiii, superaa irukke nila, nila nila odiii vaaa..Appa joined them after sometime and Kavya says to her appa, Nila Appa,looks at the moon for sometime and says nila maruudhaani potukku (maybe she was referring to the dark spots in the moon!!!).And when it was time to

Today was Kavya's first day at school..She was getting bored at home, so we thought it would be a good idea to join her in a pre school closer to home.The nervous amma did not get a good sleep the previous night thinking of Kavya's first day at school..Kavya who is always up and playing by 8AM, woke up only at 830AM today. And she was very silent and not in mood..Anyways, that did not deter her

Kavya eats her cream biscuit and as always, her hands are full of cream from the biscuit..She comes to amma and says Amma Hand wasss panikalaam vaaaaaaIts a struggle putting Kavya to sleep these days..Everytime amma asks Kavya thoonga polaama, she says venaa venaa venaa venaaa venaa thoonga venaaaaaaaWhen she's happy she keeps singing loudly - the lyrics.. are all the objects in front of her eyes

MOTTAI BOSS !Yes, finally after postponing Kavya's mudi irakudhal forever due to amma's fears...finally it happened yesterday...and now the Big boss of our house becomes the Big Mottai Boss...She is all over the place all of a sudden and amma is currently in search of some tails that can be stuck on Kavya..Really, its as if some big burden is off her head..She has been jumping and running around

Ok, this is what she does now !!At 25 months : She says Amma kochiniyaa nee enna ???? At 26 months : She hugs amma and sings the Barney song like this I wuv you.. You wuv me.. we r a nanananananana ...won you say you wuv me tooooo !!!

Kavya was given two slices of peeled apple as her evening snack..She examined the apple slice for a minute and said apple oooovaaaa...Amma looked at it to see that there was this little bit of peel left on the apple..Kavya refused to eat that slice and kept saying oovaa apple oovaa aaple !!!Kavya saw her paati lying down on the floor and reading books..Kavya kept disturbing her, so she said Paati

The reactions of Kavya to amma's anger has amused even amma herself..20 months : Gives kisses to amma and hugs her21 months : Says Enachi amma, paapa paavam23 months : Sings Nee konapataal nanu konapaduven..baby iiiiii wuuuuvvv uuuuu.2 years : Cries, goes to anyone else except amma and says Amma kochuuuu Amma KochuuuWhat can she do next ???!!!!!

Until Kavya turned two, I never knew the meaning of Terrible twos..She was this sweet little darling who did not cry very often except at mealtime..For the past few weeks, she has become a completely different person..One moment she is all smiles singing some song and the next moment she screams and throws whatever she can lay her hands on..Sometimes she even jumps and falls down on purpose while

It was Kavya's second birthday last week and she enjoyed every moment of the day with all the attention..As soon as she woke up, we sang the Happy Birthday song and she was really happy and kept smiling throughout the rendition of the song..Then we took her to a temple where a kid who shared her birthday gave chocolates to her..Kavya got her first taste of chocolate then :-) In the evening, we

It was Kavya's first bike ride today ! Ever since we arrived here, thatha and paati have been asking Kavya to take a ride on the bike..But Kavya was scared to sit on the bike and so was amma :-) Finally amma and Kavya rode the bike together today sitting behing appa, who made sure that the bike went as slowly as possible !!!! Kavya enjoyed the ride and kept saying Bikele Polama all the way

Its been quite sometime since Amma wrote anything about me....She has become lazy eating, sleeping and just lazing around blaming it on the summer heat and power cuts..We are in a place that she calls as Chennai :-) I don't care what the place is called, but love it here..There are so many people around me to give me attention from the time I wake up till I sleep..Anyone whom I meet is either

Got it done at the same salon..Kavya was the opposite of what she was during her first hair cut...As the lady started spraying water on Kavya's hair, she started crying..But we said Squirt Squirt Squirt (Her fav lines from the book Splash Splash Splash)...Then she started saying Squit Squit Squit Spashhh Spashhh :-) After that amma showed her the mirror and

Everyday as appa comes home, Kavya tells him some random things even before appa can remove his shoes. For the past two weeks, appa and Kavya have been listening to Raavan songs after evening tea. Today, when appa came home, Kavya looked at appa and did not say any of the random stuff...She waited for appa to remove his shoes and said - Yets Co Bene De (Let's go Behene De) ...And yea, it was

Kavya has started talking nonstop these days..From the moment she wakes up till the time she dozes off for her nap/nighttime sleep, she talks and talks..Sometimes she even talks in her sleep !! Before I forget the things she talks at 23 months, its time to note down a few of those !!!Ukkitha - This means Carry Me !!!! Aenna Sape - Means Enna Shape.She keeps asking this question so many times

One day, Kavya was looking at a squirrel..The squirrel ran away after sometime..Kavya asked amma, Sqi yeng pochiii to which amma replied Odi Pochu...A few days back, Kavya started saying Odi pochii when squirrels run away and paranthu pochii for birds..Yesterday, she was watching her grandparents on Skype..Thatha went away from the webcam for a while..Kavya suddenly noticed it and said Thatha Odi

Yesterday, Kavya spilled curd on the floor..Amma became very angry and sat in a corner without looking at Kavya..Kavya waited for a while for amma to smile at her, when that did not happen, she came to amma, looked at her with her big sparkly eyes and said Enachi Ammaaa , Paavam Paapa..Now isn't that enough to melt away any anger in this world !!!

Kavya is into learning shapes and colors..When she sees a cluster of shapes in any of her toys, she immediately points them out to me and asks Enna Sape ?..Then I tell her the shape and she repeats it..Now she can identify Square,Diamond, Circle (Which she calls as Nila), Star and Triangle..Its the same case with colors..Whenever we go outside, she points to a car and asks En Culurs...Then I say

Kavya has learnt that when there is more than one, she needs to add a 's' at the end..So when she sees cars zooming past her, she says wuntoofeefoofeve cars (One Two Three Four Five cars)...She loves to say Apples, Fishes, Mushrooms,Foons (Spoons) etc etc..Yesterday, she woke up from sleep, pointed to the picture with flowers and said Poo..I said Yea, Poo..Then she said wuntoofeefoofeve Poos...It

Kavya's latest favourite is Let's go..She says a Lets go for many things now..In the morning, she says Yets ko Milk...When its lunch time, she says Yets ko Mammooo, when she finishes drinking water post lunch and wants to get down from her high chair, she says Sall we ko...Its very cute to hear it when she says it !!As soon as Kavya's appa comes back from office, Kavya starts swaying and singing

When I pointed to the bell in this picture and asked Kavya what it is, she replied Mitzeeeee (For Mixie)...How creative :-) well it does look like the mixie jar hung upside down, doesn't it ??!!!I really dunno why Kavya likes this picture..But everytime she sees it, she closes her eyes and runs away as if she is shy !!!!

Kavya used to have long hair which was tied up with a band by amma..When Kavya was happy doing the ah-so-cute things, she used to look very pretty with that hairstyle resembling lil Krishna...But when amma does something that Kavya doesn't like, the band in the hair will be pulled down, and hair will cover Kavya's entire face..and it will be time for unleashing the Anniyan in her :-) After being

She says Aa kokka Naa Kokka...I asked her again and she said the same thing and then I figured out that it was Adi Kokko Aana Kutti which I say everyday for the last spoon :-)When Kavya was testing how the strings to the blinds work, appa and amma were watching her silently..Kavya

Helo Helo..How you ?This is Kavya and I thought I will write down what I can do at 20 months so that I can read it later in my life and be proud of all this :-)I can drive my amma crazy enough to make her stand on her knees and say Please Kavya no more Please Please...When I torture my amma like this doing this and that, she becomes sad and I dont like to see her like that..So I give her my hugs

Life's been very busy..Rearranging things at home to keep everything out of Kavya's reach..My little girl decided that she wanted to touch and explore the things safely guarded by the vacuum cleaner..So the puja place, pantry, linen closets etc etc were raided by her for the past one week...Amma was not able to tolerate the torture of constantly reminding Kavya not to do this and that..So amma

Kavya is becoming naughtier by the day and cuter too..There are so many things that she does in a day that makes my day..Before I forget them as she replaces them with cuter things, I should make note of them !!!1. Out of the blue she comes running to me, slants her head, gives me a smile and says Amooloo..Sometimes this is even followed by a kiss !!!2. Whenever she kisses her appa, she runs to

Kavya's demands have increased a lot over the past few weeks....At the diaper table, when I start changing her diaper, she screams Paattu Paattu until I sing some song..And if she doesnt like what I am singing, she will shout even more loudly Paattu Paatuu..This will repeat until I sing the song that suits her mood at that time....No matter what I am doing, if she wants to play ringa ringa roses,

Yesterday we were reading Thumper's Summer Day...She was watching closely at the pictures in the book and suddenly shouted Niiiiyaaaaa Niiiiyaaaaa...I couldn't make out what she was saying...so I asked her and she repeated Niiiyaaa and pointed to the Sun..And then it made sense..She was saying Nila (for moon)...She was soo excited that she turned the pages of that book atleast 10 times, pointing

We have a K3G DVD at home...I dont even remember how it got here to begin with..But Kavya loves to look at the picture in the cover..When she was younger, around a year or so, she used to kiss Kajol..Dunno whom Kavya thot that was !!!! She will ask me to point to each one and name them..Yesterday Kavya was talking to herself and her toys and we were having some conversation..suddenly we heard

When Kavya was born, I wasnt expecting her to give me company whenever I eat...Now anytime I sit in the dining table, some things like emptied blocks container, ride on cars, cycle, even her cell phone become her step stool to give me company..Even when I am drinking coffee, she makes sure tat she is there watching me drink it from her step stool (watever she chooses that day) !!!! Sometimes she

Kavya would let her amma feed her doll, play with her doll, but the moment amma starts singing Harivarasanam to make the doll sleep, Kavya will throw the doll and lie down on amma's lap instead !!!When amma cries (well, just fake ones!!) Kavya hugs amma and says Amoooloooo :-) She has done this so many times since yesterday...and that's so enough to make amma smile !!

Ok, so it has been so many years since I landed here and the thought of making cookies had never crossed my mind...All of a sudden last week, I wanted to bake some cookies...Asked DH and he was excited abt the idea too....I dont like to work with eggs, so googled some eggless cookie recipes and got some..We decided to make the Basic Butter cookies for starters...We got the ingredients needed and

Kavya loves to touch the vegetables that amma uses for dinner..Yesterday, amma gave her a strand of cilantro..She was very excited to have it in her hand..She showed it to her appa and said Pooo ....After a while, amma sees her in front of the mirror trying to put something on her head..Closer look reveals that she is trying to put the cilantro on her head...!!!!! Maybe she thought it was some

Until Kavya was 8 months old, diaper changes were a breeze..I would just sing 'Diaper change Diaper change Kavya paapakku diaper change' again and again until the change is done..She never complained...She was so used to this song that we sang it in the doctor's office to make her lie down on the height scale !!!! Everything changed once she started walking..she just did not want to lie down for

Kavya is bored of film songs these days..I decided to try playing her some rhymes one day..Found this link for some Tamil Songs...Kavya was hooked to it from the very first song - Amma Inge Vaa Vaa..I liked the female voice in the songs and now everyday I play these songs for Kavya and she enjoys them...The only problem is that I find myself waking up at 2AM trying to remember the lyrics for

Kavya says Woooowwww whenever she sees a christmas tree anywhere....Inspired by her admiration for the christmas tree, we put up a small one in our house...When the tree wasnt lighted, Kavya touched it and said teee teee...Now we lit the tree and guess what Kavya did, yes she said Woowww many times, but refused to go anywhere near the tree...These days, whenever we want Kavya not to touch

Kavya has always been a Daddy's girl..Now I can see the preference very clearly...Everyday after dinner, amma carries Kavya for changing to night dress..On the way, appa will hide somewhere and pop out which makes Kavya scream in delight..This night, appa was out somewhere and amma carried Kavya after dinner..As soon as we reached the bedroom, Kavya said Appa...I wasnt sure of what I heard cos

Kavya loves reading books...Not by herself, she likes others to read for her..And atleast 5 books to be read at a time..This time, one of her favourite books is the one called Hurry Hurry where a rooster calls out to the animals in the farm to hurry for seeing a chick hatch ! She had listened to this book being read atleast a hundred times now..Everytime, she comes with this book in hand and says

Yesterday when we were having dinner, Kavya pulled up the laundry basket, overturned it and stood on it near the table..She wanted to have everything from our plate..Ok, so we gave her little pieces of the roti that we were having..She ate that and started to dance around..She was losing balance and so her appa said Kavya, thats's enough, Get Down Now...Kavya says Hiiiiii to her appa and kisses

Usually when I ask Kavya for a kiss, she gives a flying kiss....But she used to kiss her dolls whenever she sees them...Yesterday was the day..she gave me a kiss on the cheek and when I asked her for a second, she readily gave me one more...It feels great to get a kiss from her after such a loooooong wait !!!!Nowadays, Kavya tries to imitate us very often..The other day, I saw her carry an empty

I think Kavya will grow up to be a police woman..She constantly carries something in her hand,touches everything with it and gives a biiig talk...That something is mostly a spoon or a paper in the shape if a cone !!!! Its like the police with the lathi roaming around !!!! She guards her amma all the time..noone is allowed to come near her, not even appa..She wakes up from time to time in the

When we decided to watch WallE on Sunday afternoon, we were not expecting this..Everytime WallE said his name, Kavya would laugh so much ..Also, whenever the cockroach (or watever that was with WallE) runs, she would laugh...Have never seen her laugh for any animation films before..It was fun to watch her laugh which made the movie more enjoyable :-) At the end, she started saying Evvaa whenever

Kavya is growing up very fast...It seems just like yesterday that we got this 7 pound bundle of joy home..Now she is growing up, trying to talk and imitate us, giving us so many smiles and some frowns too....We are enjoying every moment we spend with her these days..Everyday she surprises us with something or the other :)Her favourite 'color' word is Boooooo (which is Blue !)..She plays with booo

Kavya's pidivaathams have increased so much over the past week..She is usually a doll when we take her to shopping, waving hi to every stranger , smiling at everyone and content with watching us fill the cart with the vegetables and fruits..Today she wanted to do more..she wanted to touch all the vegetables in the shop and not only that, she wanted to put them in her mouth too...When I took the

Took Kavya to the library for the first time.Ok, she has been there with her appa before..but this is the first time I am accompanying her and it was fun..she was very excited to see so many books in front of her..she began to take the books one by one from the shelf and turned the pages..When she spotted a cow, she shouted loudly Maaaaaaaaaaa....spotting a dog had the woowoooo shout :) There

The weather god showed us some mercy and the temperature climbed upto the 60's today..We decided to take Kavya to the nearby park..Glad that we did !!! From the moment she set foot in the park, Kavya was running for the entire 45 minutes that we were there..First she ran to every person sitting in the play area and said Hiii..Then she watched a baby closely showing all her 11.5 teeth and doin the

Kavya used to watch Caillou on TV..Today Kavya saw the show after a while..When Caillou's mommy called him by his name, Kavya repeated it..Since then, Kavya has been murmuring Cayoo Cayooo to herself..I once said Caillou thats me..She must have liked it..so now she says cayoo cayoo and looks at me..I am supposed to say Thats me in a babyish squeakyy voice..I am not complaining as long as she

Kavya is stepping up..Not only that she is carrying her newly found step everywhere she goes to get a better look at things that she couldn't see so far :) Yea, it all started one fine day when an accidentally overturned laundry basket landed in front of the laptop table..Kavya climbed on the laundry basket and had a good time with the laptop playing the Bang Bang Bang game ! Then today she

Kavya loves to dance...Be it to the melodious 'Oru Vetkam Varuthe' from Pasanga or 'Yen Peru Meenakumari' from Kandasamy..Just a dance will make her feel better anytime anyday...Oflate I have been noticing two types of tandavas that she does :)Ananda Kavya's Tandava - Done when she is happy...on an overturned laundry basket..She sings to herself as Tatatathaitatathai.....Looks super cute..At

This weekend we were invited by a Malaysian couple for dinner..They have a kid ,A, who is just abt the same age as Kavya....As we entered their house, Kavya said Hiii and as soon as we left her down she went missing to be found playing with the older kids :) As we got know the people in the party, one woman asked me if Kavya likes Murukku....I proceeded to explain how I have to mash rice in mixie

Kavya's latest passion is to run..She closes her eyes and runs very fast..I close my eyes too praying that she doesnt fall or hit on anything...Not only does she run, she makes her amma run too :-) She picks up the tiniest of things from the ground..say, a grain of rice or masoor dhal, a bit of paper etc...she holds it between her thumb and index finger and waits for amma to look at her..When

Everyday as Kavya's appa leaves to work, I carry her to the window and wave Bye Bye to her appa hoping that she will wave to him one day...Its has not happened until now, but I am still doing the same thing..Today asusual I carried her to the window..a few kids were standing in the footpath waiting for their school bus..Kavya became excited, said paapaa and pointed to the kids..Then she did it..

Why did God decide to give so much pain when the teeth comes out for the babies ? Poor things, they cant even tell that they are crying because of the teething pains...Kavya has been crying throughout the day :-( I am unable to guess why, but a closer look into her mouth has revealed the four canine teeth on its way..Maybe thats the reason she has been fussy and irritable throughout..The head

After we completed the Gymboree classes about a month back, Kavya never really had a chance to play with any kids..So when this two and a half year old boy came to our place to play with her, she was so excited..First few minutes she stood at a distance, watched the kid, showing off all her 12 teeth..then she came near him, pointed him to me and said Paapaaa, patted him on his back and said Jo Jo

These days, Kavya has started to ask for what she wants in some cases..She decides the book she wants to read...She identifies these books from her collection ! HEAD TO TOE ,WHO LIVES HERE and SIDE BY SIDE....Once she picks up the book, she will read out the title of the book aloud..I am a happy mommy when I see her do this :)At dinner, she watches baby einstein videos...She will decide which one

Two days back, Kavya woke up from her nap and wanted me to read a book for her..I read it once.She put the book on my lap again which means I shud read the book again..I told her, Kavya, we read this book only now..we will read it again after sometime..She looked up for a few seconds, looked at me and said Pleaaaseeeee..Wow, I was almost in tears..My lil girl is learning it all so fast..I thot

We were shopping for Kavya's shoes today..I was trying to find a shoe that will easily slide into Kavya's feet no matter how crooked she keeps her feet !!! And she was blabbering something..Then suddenly one old American lady comes to Kavya and says Hi...Kavya loves when someone says hi..Kavya says Hi and begins to sway from left to right..OL : Whats your Name ?Kavya : Sways from left to right..

I dunno who taught Kavya to pull a laundry basket to the door, overturn it , stand on it and open the door knob to go tataa ???How did she know the way to climb onto every piece of furniture at home..From where did she learn the steps she does for every song ? A slow motion dance for Manmohana and fast shaking of hands and bouncing up and down for Mambo Mamiya !How does she know to recognise a

Kavya now loves these songs1. O Divya O Divya from Maasilamani.. Dunno what she finds in this song..as soon as this song plays she sways fast and says 'ooooo' whenever O divya line comes in the song :-) Cant believe that Shaan has sung this song...His tamil is not as bad as Udit Narayan :)2. Excuse Me from Kandasamy She loves the poda podi thing in this song..Keeps saying po po when they say poda

After hearing from many people that its good to read for babies from an early age, I too wanted to do the same for Kavya..So once she turned 6 months, I went and bought some nice books with biig pictures in it..However she was too small to notice the colorful pictures and was busy picking up some dirt from the floor :-) Then I got her a touch-n-feel board book with baby animals in it..The book is

I watched the movie Achamundu Achamundu over the course of a week whenever Kavya would let me watch it !!! It took me one whole week to watch the 16 parts of the movie..:0)I loved the character that Sneha plays in the movie..She plays a woman who doesnt leave behind the Indian culture even after coming to the US. She wears bindi and the mangalsutra chain even when she wears jeans :-) Thats

A girl whom I met outside our building said that she thinks I am a successful person in life cos I worked at XYZ once upon a time ! Couldnt help but wonder if its absolutely necessary for a woman to work to be labelled as successful...Are stay at home moms any less ? I think they do much more work and have lots and lots of patience than the working bunch ;-)The number of vacant engineering seats

Kavya watches Baby Einstein while having her dinner these days. Her favourite one is the My First Signs video..She watches the babies do the signs and tries to do the same..She also says the word and does the sign..Yesterday, I was pointing to the bottle and saying 'Kavya, this is Paal (Milk in Tamil)'She says 'Baaaaa' and does the sign for Ball :-)Today when I put her in her chair for her dinner

Stranger anxiety in Kavya's dictionary means something different - It is to become very anxious to see strangers...Be it on the road, or the grocery shop, or in the park, Kavya loves to say Hi to strangers and play peek a boo as soon as the Hi is reciprocated ! I got to know my neighbour just because of Kavya waving Hi to her on the road one day..Strange, this person was living next door for

I went to my neighbour's house for Varalakshmi Pooja the other day...She said 'You look so fit , that noone will believe you have a baby who is 1 year old already !'...I shud have said Thank You..I just smiled...I should have said something back to her atleast about the way she had decorated the Amman...But it just din strike me...

Scene1 : Birthday party at a friend's place...Kavya is playing all by herself with some disposable cup running around the hall with two cups clutched tightly in her two little hands...She tries to climb a bed on the floor and oh nooo..she dips one of her cups into the lady's daal makhani...The lady tries to get the cup from Kavya, who refuses to let go of the cup...The cool me gets another

Whoever invented the vaccines for babies....I know its for their good, but its hard to see them cry and not be able to do nothing about it...Kavya got her first year shots yesterday.She was so happy waving to everyone at the doc's office and dancing around...Felt really bad to see her cry when they gave her the shots :-(

There are some movies that you must watch and some which you must not...And Revolutionary Road is a movie that I shouldn't have watched..For someone who cried over a Daniel Steele novel during her college days, who couldnt handle Scarlet's character in Gone with the Wind, this movie was too disturbing...Its the story about a couple who decide to move to Paris risking everything they have..But the

Just back from a Gymboree class for K...She enjoyed it a lot and earned the name 'happy baby' from almost everyone there at the class..Well, she loved the slides there and preferred to bond with other parents in the class than her own whom she sees everyday :-) Was pleasantly surprised to see her new avatar..Ofcourse she threw a tantrum when we made her climb things..all she wanted to do was run

I have always been a fan of ARR since I heard Roja...There used to be a time when me and my bro will listen to any song composed by him...I remember when the music of DilSe was released, we got the cassette (those days no cds!!) and played it on full volume in our house..ofcourse when amma and appa werent at home..God knows what the neighbours would have thought, but thankfully noone complained..

Temper takes you to trouble, pride keeps you there..Temper does take you to trouble.When we are angry, we do not know what we talk. Some people, like my dad are very good at controlling the temper..Just be silent, dont talk anything to anyone..Once that moment of uncontrollable anger passes, bad things wont be uttered. We all know its hard to take back the words spilled..and by the time our
