She: Hello

He: OK, we will be watching 8 O'clock show!

She: What show?

He: Slumdog Millionaire sweety!

She: I so want to watch it, every one's raving about it but why did you get it for 8? I need to put Saumya to bed at 8!

He: OK, what time works?

She: Anytime after 9.(Thinking "are we really going to the movies?")

He: Alright, you are booked for 9:45 tonite. Yay, we are going to the movies after four years! Aren't you craving for theater popcorn?! (Thinking "are we really going to the movies")

She: Love you

He: Love you too!

Witness to history

Four year old jumped in the car yesterday after school, wearing a beads necklace given by the teacher, playing it with her fingers she said "you know mamma, it was an exciting day, I saw history being made today" Looking at my flabbergasted expression , she explained "You know Barack Obama, the one you showed me on your computer many times, I saw him becoming the President of my country America"

While I was still trying to figure out my response, she asked "What does being the President mean?"

"That means he is the care taker of the country and the leader who will hopefully work along with the rest of us to do good things for the nation and the world"

Silence for few minutes in the car and then "Will Barack Obama take good care of us?"

"We will see"

"Ya, we will,, otherwise we need to ask someone else to do that job"!!!!

So the other day my girl was in the school playground when one of the boys came up to her and said "You are wearing a boy's jacket (It had cars theme), you should be wearing something with princess on it" And she replied "I am princess who loves cars and I also love aeroplanes and trains"

Puzzle mania

The Proud Puzzle Girl, with her four favorite puzzles of 48 pieces each. All done in record time of 20 minutes or less. We wake up and rush to make puzzles, go to school, come back and make puzzles and then sleep with a promise to make them the next day!!

Good Bye to 2008

Year 2008 has been full of action for our family. We did an India trip in spring where Saumya bonded with her cousins and all the extended family. We got to saw a side of her that was never displayed before. In India, I got a chance to visit the pink city, Jaipur. Thanks to my husband who made another of my dreams come true.
In June, I started blogging and made so many lovely friends. Reading each and every blog has helped me widen my perspective. And every time a reader left a comment, I got motivated to write more. Thank you for being a part of my life and also for sharing your writings with me.
Right at the start of summers I got to buy the car of my dreams, My Beetle, and I am loving every moment I am getting to drive it. A big thanks to my love for making this happen.
Before summers could end we got our permanent residency papers approved.
In Fall, our daughter Saumya took a big step and started her formal education in school which follows Maria Montessori's Follow the Child theory.

Now when the year was just about to end, a very dear blogger friend of mine Mithe, has bestowed me with an award!! She is a thoughtful writer and I find her words very very soothing. Follow the link to her blog and you will be hooked.
This award holds a special place in my heart because she made it herself. A big thank you for the lovely honour!! This is a perfect end to a great year I had!
