Birthdays.. Vakul and Vallabh recently celebrated their 2nd birthday.It was party time for kids.It was a small celebration with my apartment friends and kids as invitees.Decorations were as usual, balloons, ribbons and lights.Cake, samosas, chips, juice, lollipops, mini jamuns were the delicacies. Generally, kids enjoy the fun and party.It has become a routine for them.They attend more parties, than I have in my 26 yrs.Birthday parties almost all round the year.In an apartment of 80 flats, there are nearly 30-35 kids.All friends with each other, despite dooos & kaaas.Kids are accustomed to taking gifts and return gifts. There were a group of boys discussing about birthday parties and gifts.There was a kid saying "I have this(gift) already".This struck a chord in my mind.I was a bit disturbed.The first question that arose in my mind was "are we raising responsible kids?" .I feel, our kids have abundance of anything and everything.We don't shun any of the...

Back To School Vacations are over and its now time to be back to school.Wow!!It is a very pleasant sight to watch Aakriti,Greeshmi,Bhavesh,Meghna go to school.Bhavesh wakes us up as early as 5.30am with his loud cry.We live together in the same apartment.They have joined nursery class.Neatly ironed new uniforms, new shoes. Isn't is really very exciting.The smell of new books,uniform,shoes & socks... I wanna get back to my school. Meeting old friends after a long break,discussing about their hols was delightful.1 or 2 days just passed chit-chatting.New entrants were like aliens/strangers,staring at them and negligent to even say a "HI".It took almost 3-4 months to accept the new comers. I was always a back-bencher.Only one reason to be early to school on the re-opening day was to a find a good place in the back seat.Unfortunately, I had to take up the 1st row in my 12th standard as I was late on the 1st day.Only then I realized why the 1st benchers were the 'all-ti...
Do you still have some childish nature left in you ? Find out for yourself.Here goes the checklist! Eager to catch a glimpse of the small-big airplane up above the world so high ? Jump when you get a chocolate or gems ? Ready to get drenched in a bucket of water and splash all around ? Happy to build sand-castles and get your hands dirty. Want to play on the slide/merry-go-round. Keep licking your fingers after eating a bar chocolate. Enjoy the doodling on your walls and spotting patterns out of it. Excited to watch a cat or a dog and run behind to catch them. Cartoons make you happy :-) Dismantle the building blocks happily in seconds. These are few things I cherish with my kids.I wish my kids remain the same(age) so as to keep my life afresh and active as a child myself.The innocence of childhood smells gr8.Perhaps one of my wishes is to grow young than old.Remaining young at heart is the key to a joyous life :)
