Ahmedabad tour

I was away for a while. Actually Sonika had a three day training on "Fashion Styling" in Ahmedabad, a nearby state. So i thought it will be good opportunity to visit somewhere else with kids. Well the first shock was temp. which was very high coupled with high humidity.And with kids it was difficult to go outside. Sonika had to go in the mroning and come by 6.00pm. So my job was to take care of kids. And Aahana does not stay without her mother. So it was the job of nerves to keep her busy. well I used to show her TV for a while, then bath both the kids and then give her milk and try to make her sleep from 111 am to 1.00pm because at that time Sonika used to come. and then again give her milk at 3.00pm so that she sleeps upto 5.00.But really it is difficult to control kids.
About ahmedabad it is a city for trational clothes. so we purchased some clothes. Ananya needed bangles and sandles which i brought for her.here are some of the photos of our ahmedabad trip.And yes we went to Mcdonald's also which is a craze here. besides this joints of Barrista, cafe coffee day is here and Starbucks is also coming.

Latest update

I am a confirmed laziest person in the world. i don't try to post the blog regularly. But the problem does not lie with me entirely. Actually whatever I write I can do during office hours only since i dont have internet connection at home. Also it takes aeons to upload the photos. It was just one morning that my Aahana was sitting and i thought to make her tiger. well she liked herself when she saw her face.
I have brought a guitar from US which I never had chance to use here. Although i don't know even a A of guitar but sometimes just to make my wife and kids happy I try to show them my guitar. but ananya and Aahana are so fascinated with music that they just want to take it from my hands and use it. So they got two guitars as gifts and here u can see our "Guitar Family". So we are just enjoying being together, taking our guitars out and make some noise so that no one even tries to come near us to hear our music. Apart from that, life is normal. we are having a season of mangoes and u get a lot of varieties of mangoes. So we are eating a lot of mangoes also. And now the monsoon is going to start where it rains throughout day sometimes and the temperature dips a bit low. But this is the time when all type of diseases start spreading because of humidity.

So soorrry

I am really sorry for being so lazy in posting new thoughts. well the part of problem lies in my lazy attitude and the other half lies with our internet which was down for the last so many weeks. well after u have been in US and used computer 24x7x365 days, and then suddenly the internet is down think how boring and frustrating it becomes. On personal front Ananya and Aahana are enjoying their time and giving a hard time to us. because we both work and that too in the opposite directions of the city,we had no one at the house to take care of them. hence we keep them in creche from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm. and when we come you should see the smile on the face of Aahana. I think that is the loveliest smile in the world. And then she starts her usual crying and tantrums and doesnot want her mother to leave her even for a single second. And whne i start music then it is dance time. I am trying my best to upload videos of their dance but again the internet speed dampens my spirits.

Sorry for late update

First of all let me feel sorry for not updating my blog for a long long time. But I have a reason for that. i was busy in shifting to the new house (Yes I have constructed new house) and then I had taken two three days off from the office and here in India having internet connection at home is not that much popular. But I am thinking of taking it now since I feel handicapped without it many times. But I miss the internet speed of US.
To tell you what I did besides shifting which was offcourse a back breaking job. I went with my wife for seeing a movie. It was a typical Indian movie. Well about our movies, it is full of romance, drama and tragedy only. You dont have to use your brains while watching movie. While going to movie, we went to Pune University and there I took this picture of my wife with my new mobile (yes I have brought a new mobile Nokia 7630 and it is costly approx. $250). Since the university is so green and calm I thought of taking her picture. One more reason was that I have been biased in uploading pictures. i upload pics of my kids only and never of my wife so I thought of changing the trend and this is the start. But I am never satisfied with the pictures of my kids so i am uploading one more pic of Aahana. She looks really scarry ET style. i liked this picture. So will you all. And yes I will be uploading some pics of the dishes in India and also about the traffic (which is horrible here) in future.
About my kids, Ananya is having holidays so everyday her first question in the morning is "Mumy/papa will u take me to ur office". She is getting really bored and about Aahana (well she gets up early in the morning at 5.30am) I take her to nearby park for sometime. She is mostly interested in unscrewing things and give her anything she tries to open it first. And yes she has started calling me papa but sometimes if i am not listening to her then calls me muma. And she likes bike rides so much that in the morning she shows me where the key is and by sign language wants me to drive her on the road which sometimes i have to do.

One friend left

Well i am late in posting something new. Sorry for that. The latest news is that Ashok (Godbrother of Sonika) left to other state for job on saturday. To tell the truth, he was of immense help in every aspect. Even when I was not here he took care of my kids and Ashok, Asha have been with us for the last 8-9 years. Although you miss a person who has been so close to you but I think the worst affected is my daughter, Aahana. I left to US when she was 5 months old and after that it was Ashok only who used to take her care. And in the morning Ashok used to take him out and thenplay with him till 8.00 am and she will listen to the songs in his car. So now in the morning she wakes up and asks for "mamu" (Hindi word for the brother of one's mother). Sorry for not uploading the photos of his departure in the morning but in a day or two I will upload them.
Now about my timetable. I have to get up early in the morning (6-6.30 am) to play with Aahana since she neer allows her mother to work in the kitchen and upto 8.15 am I have to do that. Then go the office by 8.45 and come by 6.00 om and after that it is again Kids time. It is either teaching ananya or playing with aahana. Dinner by 9.30 and then during night whenever aahana wakes up, my job is to bring milk for her. So u never know whether u are asleep or awake. Anyway life is like that "Thodi khati, thodi mithi" means "Somewhat sour and somewhat sweet"

Ananya's Holidays

Yesterday I had to take a day off because of two reasons. one was that my head was spinning maybe because of excessive heat here and the other and most important reason was that Ananya's school was going to be closed for summer holidays. And it was Glendoman quiz time for her. So I went to see her performance and also to talk to her teacher about her performance. her teacher said that she is smart but she does not concentrate on studies (well her father also suffers from the concentration problem). I feel that she is smart but since I was not here there was no one to take care of her studies. Now Sonika is teaching her everyday for one hour and she is showing some progress. About Aahana or bubu, the literal meaning of her name is "First rays of Sun". well she is like that because she wakes up everyday by 5.30 and then u have to run after her and she never stays still. She has started recognising me and has started calling me "papa" and mostly when I am playing with Ananya (Shunnu) she comes to play. So one problem is solved.
I have not started some serious work till now. Mostly because I dont feel like working because of excessive heat and also it will take me sometime to adjust to surroundings.

Sick Time

Well with the increase in heat, children are affected by various types of illnesses. In my case, my younger one Aahana is affected by cough and a bit of dyssentry. She didnt sleep throughout night and because of that Sonika was not able to sleep also. About me, I came to office on bike and because of that my head was spinning throughout the day and today also. i feel that after living in Madison for a whole year under less temperature, i am not able to bear the high temperature. I have also constructed a new house and we will be shifting to the new house very soon. As soon as we shift, I will post the snaps of my new home here. Nothing more to pen, except that i feel sleepy throughout the day and my stomach has started inflating which I tried hard to maintain at madison. Let me see after how much time I will get fat again.
