My learnings in past two years!!

I thank God for sending a beautiful angel to our life!! Just 2 years back, I never know what turn my life is too take..All I had heard was kids are lot of responsibility…Too that I agree..But that’s only a small part of it..

10^th April’2009, I had this angel..initially din’t know what to refer her as, so for first few days Jai & I were like-“the baby is sleeping”, ”baby was crying whole day”...:) Then with lot of discussions..& we even consulted the baby then (to see on which name she responds a bit and Deepesh acted judge for that), baby actually nodded her head on Riya....

Riya, and that’s from where my beautiful journey of next phase-“motherhood” started…with lots of learning and little teaching..In my case, Riya has taught me lot of things..Unconditional love, patience and not to laugh when she does something wrong and show a angry face(so that she comes to know she has done something wrong, or that’s what at least elders tell)J..One of the most important quality I am still trying to learn from her is forgiveness..Sometimes because of me if she has got hurt or after I have scolded her, all she wants is mammaJ…

Every day I have something new to look forward.. How do I put in words those moments when she first responded back, or said her first word (even if it was pa..Huh..I am jealous of that till date)…her first step, her first smile and list goes on…everyday when she makes me laugh with her silly talks which make a little sense…& irritation on her face, when I am unable to understand what she mean (its like, why don’t u understand, I am trying to make you understand for long enough now).. How important she makes me feel, when even if away for a minute, she comes searching for me, and hugs me like we saw each other after years…

About language, I think she has taught me a lot of words…For eg. Jai’s & my conversation’s nowadays are like are like- did u take “mum mum” to office!! Or lets go to have some “choco” in niteJ…All kids in my family are being referred to as “tutu” now….and all our outings are known to be “going to office”…We see “bhow bhow” on roads, and take Riya to show “quack quack” in parks…(Abody who need translations, please call up Riya to ask).. And every morning all of us do “chap chap”… & yeah Riya is peacemaker of the house, all loud conversations are interrupted by “aise baat mat karo, pyaar se baat karo”…

And to my surprise, she really knows when my days are going tough, and keeps smiling at me, till I don’t lighten up and smile back…In nights she searches for me to check, and in case I am not there, calls for me...

With so many learning's and changes all for better, and feeling of being loved always I am not surprised humming this song more often now..."Kabhi Kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai,ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye.... Tu abse pehle sitaron mein bas rahi thi kahin, tujhe zameen pe bulaya gaya hai mere liye"...
