9th November was Shyam's Birthday. This time too,we were not together for his birthday.
In the 6 years of our married life,we have celebrated just 2 of his birthdays together. Being an Army officer has a few advantages and its own disadvantages too, especially when it comes to family life. Most of their serving years they tend to be away from family. Even occasions like these have to be foregone and the moments and the times spent together are always extra special since they are very few.
Happy Birthday to dear Shyam!

Its so easy to be taken for granted and sometimes its so easy to be fooled in a relationship,in general, with friends and family.
We tend to be true and honest with a person,share all that we have,financially as well as emotonally, but later when you learn that they dont reciprocate in the same mannner, it hurts. Probably they feel we are not close enough to them.
We consider a few people in life really close and expect to help them in case of emergency, but many times they reject it or dont even come to you because they have not accepted you the way you think you want to be. Trying really hard to include yourself in one's company sometimes can be in vain since the other person just doesn't think you are eligible or fit enough to be in their inner circle. They dont mind accepting help or advice from anyone else but you.
Why should one take the trouble asking if they need our support when we are just not required. Only with experience do we understand these things and only then we learn to be careful with any situation or person. Such experiences last a lifetime and the next time we offer help,we need to give it a second thought and maybe even a third.

Hes the best!!!!!
Holding his future in his fist
Sleeping innocently in his nest
Like the delicate morning mist
Trying to give his best
In every conquest
Always giving a new twist
To the work he does with interest
His mischief cannot be said in a gist
The little imp's got a huge list
Putting his family's patience to test
With his tiny feet climbs on his father's chest
With his naughhty smile captures every guest
Playing with him is hard to resist
with him around its always a fest
My darling Vibhu is different from the rest.
My Angel
Sometime in May last year.
Some uneasiness. A feeling of restlessness. Not feeling too well.
My hubby and I decided to meet the doctor.
A lot of apprehensions......some expectations.....anxiousness and nervous.
After we met up with the doctor, we learnt that we were going to become parents. The feeling was mixed when we heard this. Were we ready for such a huge reponsibility? Would we be able to manage another person? were we capable of it?
But at the same time it was a very joyous moment. We were going to bring life on to this earth....a miracle in itself. I cannot forget the expression on my husband's face..that of happiness and ofcourse, the sudden sense of responsibility. That day has been one of the many special moments in my life.
But the one special moment which stands out above the rest was in December when I carried my baby for the first time. My little angel...he was a bundle of joy. The little wonder who was in my arms that day was looking at me and others wih a twinkle in his eye, wondering where he was and who we were,I guess.
What a precious moment it was in my life. He is such a darling who has filled our lives with immense joy.
Love you my baby...my dear Tamaghna Vibhu. You have given us everything...completed my life in every way. Thanks sweetypie for all the happiness.

A few days ago,I was chatting with my best friend.He mentioned that he had slept for about 14 hours the previous night. And I casually compared him to Rip Van Winkle, the legendary character who was in deep slumber for 20years.
It was so nostalgic remembering the classics,the characters and the books that we read in our childhood. How can we forget the famous Sydney Carton and Madame Defarge from "The tale of Two cities", D'Artagnan from "The Three Muskateers", Long John Silver from "The Treasure Island", Adventures of TOm Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn,Robinson Crusoe,Silas Marner,Oliver Twist,most of Enid Blyton's and so many more.
Most of our childhood we spent reading them and exchanging books with our friends and neighbours.
These days children hardly read and hardly know about these books. Its just television and computer games and playstations. Even if they are reading its more of Harry Potter and other contemporary books rather than old classics. Its very important that we get the kids to read atleast the abridged versions of the children's literary classics.

True Iies
Sometimes when people tend to lie and you know they are lying and just cant do anything about it, its quite frustrating. A person whom I know quite well does this on a regular basis,trying to hide something and in the process lying.
I dont know whether to confront the person and ask about it,but maybe that person would completely deny it and I would feel all the more miserable since I wouldnt be able to substantiate my point.
Its like the saying "You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep". I really wonder why they cant understand that to some extent their lies are believable.... after a point that person totally loses credibility and even if they are speaking the truth,we tend to look at them with suspicion.
Trust and credibility is so important...very difficult to gain them back once its lost.
