Days of my life!!

Date: 21st April 2025 Dear Kapish, Today was the last day of your swimming camp in DSR and let's be honest - it wasn't wasy sailing for you  For many days, you were obviously scared of the water and refused to dive or jump in and even told the swimming sir to hold you and cried a bit when pushed  We tried to tell you that it was Ok to be scared, but give it a try because your swimming technique was actually pretty good, but the fear of entering the swimming pool would take over during the class and you were not able to focus on the technique  So we tried a different method to convince you to let go of fear - the hindi movie style! First we referred to the movie 3 Idiots where Aamir Khan tells his heart 'Aal is Well' and it sort of sends a message to your heart and brain that you are not really scared of water Second during an episode of Masterchef India we saw Abhijeet Sawant sing the title track of Lakshya to the finalists and we showed you the video of the song where ...

Date: 18th April 2025 Dear Kapish, Last year in July when you had shown an interest and started skatijg class, we felt it was like a trial to keep you busy and become more active. But you have absolutely surprised us by taking a lot of interest and learning to skate with precision and speed  However, what I had not mentioned at that point of time was that your pink skates were designed for a beginners perspective and had the rear wheels connected next to each other to improve balance Last week Munna sir told us that its time yo change it and align all wheels in a single line which would technically make it a 'rollerblades' or 'roller skates' Now the skates dont stand by themselves and we felt it will take you sometime to get used to this new configuration  But Voila.... once you wore the skates, you stood and confidentiality started skating around as if nothing had changed  And thus, today, 9 months after you started skating classes, you have successfully tr...

Date: 10th April 2025 Dear Kapish One major update for the month of April is that we have enrolled you for swimming class! You were always comfortable in the water, but swimming is a completely different ball game. With a coach who was very strict and entering a deep pool where your legs wouldn't touch the floor was never going to be easy.... but today almost 10 days into the batch, I must say that you have made good progress  What started with practice along the edges and then learning to move your legs holding a float board to literally swimming for a few feet without any help was very encouraging  So much so that a few parents and one grandmother who used to come along even told us (and you) that they were very impressed seeing you swim! However, you are still very very scared of entering in the pool and that is something we need to work on Jumping or diving is the next major step For now, we focus on the fact that once you are in the pool, you are able to hold ...

Date: 5th April Dear Kapish, I told you how March 2025 was quite a busy and memorable month for you Amd while I have captured a lot of what happened - I did miss on a few things One of them was that your third tooth fell off - and that too one of the top ones which clearly brough about a gap in your teeth when you smiled This happened just a few days before Ahana's 6th Birthday party and hence when you both posed for this picture - your single tooth stood out  Cheers Dadoo

Date: 4th April 2025 Dear Kapish, I dont exactly know from where you got the idea, but you had decided that today you want to host a Pizza Party at home! It was just us at home and we actually ended up ordering some pizza and garlic bread from Toscano, but it was you who had done a lot of preparations and even got some party hats and some games ready I am sure you will go on to host many parties in your life, but remember this date as it was your debut in doing so Cheers  Dadoo
