Goa

G for Goa 

Arjun's first flight

Pooja and himanshu's second flight together.....

Window seat for Arjun on the flight. The excitement is infectious and tiring, he sleeps like a baby (which he is ) during both the flights

The splash pool is so much fun and that is the swimming pool for him, the Olympic size pool at the jaypee club is useless.

All the fancy food pales in front of Puri and aaloo. I guess if given a choice he can have it for all three meals.

The beach is a wonderful place so long as the feet do not get wet. Collecting sea shells is  like collecting a treasure. Each shell personally picked up and washed and kept with mom for safe keeping. How long will the facination last is a question that time will answer. Arjun's Trust in suchi and bhavesh beyond parents and grand parents  is second  To none is an expression that can safely be used.   I hope the kid lives with it for the rest of his life

Should or could have been a sun and sand picture but this moment of lazing and yawning away to glory was the takeaway moment of the trip for me. 

Happy Birthdays are important.

Arjun's 4th birthday showed me that children look forward to their birthdays. And for the next one too. They look forward for the next one too. The cake is an integral part of the event, choosing the cake  is I guess one of the first important decisions taken with far reaching ramifications which will not end with the university that he decides to go to, if he does go to one. His unflinching resolve to be a helicopter pilot is broken only by the thought about the type of helicopters that he would like to fly. Though he has also expressed the desire to be spiderman, the red and blue one, definitely not the black one.  

The first one at the golf course followed by the one at home was the end of the choice making from our end, Mc.Donald's followed, which was followed by dominoes. The next venue is 364 days away. Pooja put it like this Arjun  has all that we did not, does that not make me happy ? Sure it does. Hope we can keep up with it. The excitement of receiving gifts followed with the well trained thank you and waiting for the next one to arrive. The excitement to reach home and open the gifts, when all I want to do is plonk on the bed but I do manage to close the day with reading the bedtime Peter pan story till shut eye happens.  Another day ends.

The Blog ! Why write a Blog ?

The Blog !

Why write a Blog ?

Dont know ?

probably just a way to share your thoughts with the rest of the world or maybe its just a personal diary out for public viewing. 

You may actually Google it and come up with an endless list of reasons to do so. 

All these years of using the internet and the emails and just trying to use Google search for random things just to check if the internet connection is working or not. I guess it was time to learn something new - I guess - do something new..  and yes i still am running behind on time as always and putting random  thoughts into words which someone else will bother to read is like saying why the hell am I typing all this stuff.

For me : the reason is Simple ! "Gorky M" ( he is the reason how I signed into Orkut and Facebook and joined gmail on its beta version and today its the only email id i use. ) said its an amazing  way to share thoughts and that whatever we know which can be of use to people out there searching for something directly or indirectly. 

considering that Gorky M is my window to the technological world and also the outside world to a large extent, the credit for my blogging goes to him.  

so here is to happy reading and learning and implementing. 

if you are still reading this - I know you will keep coming back for more.
