SHHShh...!!!Someone is sleeping...

Here are some adorable photographs that I took of you while you were enjoying a baby sleep... These are my lucky moments as a photographer... [:-D] Babies look like angels while they sleep, don't they? [:)] Any parent will agree and identify with my feelings... the strong urge to shower kisses and hugs to ones offspring, while he/ she sleeps - so lost and content - warm and secure - looking lovely, as if a fairy sleeping alongside, a smile invariably envelops the face expression, when one watches a baby sleeping. One day was especially my lucky day, for I caught both of you sleeping side by side... ...facing each other, making a connection as if in your slumber...[:-D] I quitely captured those moments to cherish...[:-)] to keep with me forever - to share with both of you later on - hoping that you would enjoy these moments as much as I did then. Here, this image belongs to you Darsh - when you were a couple of months old... or may be lesser... I do not really remember. Excuse my short memory dear. And this model picture in green suit, I precisely remember, was taken by me the day you turned two months old. I will confess something here... I did not find you cute at all when you were barely days old... you had hair all over your body including your face... You had a dark complexion and a bigger upper lip. I had no idea that you had the potential to look a cutie pie later on... [:-D] All the solo pictures above belong to you and none other. Who can believe that you looked really unattractive when you were born? You started looking cute to me when you started sitting by yourself (around four and a half months old I guess). And now over to you Vasu...Here I captured you yawning!!! I know you must be wondering about your baby pictures while sleeping. Well...I don't have them. [:-(] But you know what... you looked absolutlely gorgeous as an infant and a toddler. Unlike Darsh, you had balanced features, fair complexion and really attractive and spell-binding eyes and lips.(:-D)

TWO SIDES OF A COIN...

Have you ever felt like you cannot take it anymore... your patience runs out ...words in your mouth are no more warm and logically schemed... all you are left with is a sense of incompetence and frustration... Well thats precisely what I feel at times when I am around my two sons, who are old enough to run around but not old enough to be prudent and careful in their choices. Master of their independent moods and mind, they share an amazing chemistry and coordination. When one of them decides to be picked up by me, a sense of fiery competition prevails and I turn out to be the victim. They surround me from both sides, vying for my exclusive attention and putting me at loggerheads thus. It is both overwhelming and irritating to find them wailing at the loudest decibels their tender lungs can manage and outdoing each other to prevail in the war for occupation of my lap! It is particularly enchanting to watch the victorious looking down upon the lesser in his eyes and finding a peculiar joy in wondering what the other is doing now...[:D] Eventually, I end the tug of war by holding them both side by side (torturing myself thus to an extent) and give them a taste of equality and sense of togetherness. [:D] I must say I cherish these moments of agony, as they bring home a very important point... that we are a FAMILY.[:)]

One Christmas afternoon of your life...

Hi Vasu, This Christmas Bhanu planned an animated children's movie exclusively for you. Your second trip to the big screen again sponsored by your dear mausi.. the movie was "Happy Feet" - an animated movie having a lots of penguins depicting an emotional saga of love, heartbreak and daring. You seemingly did not like the movie much. You told us to drop you back home right after the intermission. You said,

"aap mujhe yahin chod do. Mujhe ghar jana hai. Aap movie dekh lo." [:P]

Now a tickling moment from the day... As we had to wait for the cinema hall doors to open at PVR Anupama-saket -3rd Floor (hall no. 4 I guess), we bought you fanta upon your clear-cut demand and ourselves started enjoying nachos. We got so busy with ourselves - chatting, observing the crowd and crunching the corn-made nachos relishingly - that we missed the moment when you moved away from us. As soon as we realised your absence from our side, we looked over and guess what we found you doing??? You were having a critical closer look at a revealing full-size poster of Bipasa Basu - esteemed very hot bollywood actress. [:D] After a content look, you turned about and realised that we were watching... Bashful and naughty you looked while you came back to us sipping your fanta. [:D]
