Days of my life!!

 Hi Kapus,   The blog today is about India getting her 15th President, Droupadi Murmu - our second lady President and the first ever President from tribal background Now, if you wonder why this piece of news is important, well there are several reason For starters, it's always good to know the name of the head of states of countries (especially one where you reside). In India, the Prime Minister commands all the power, but the President of India is still considered the Head of the State and has all the Armed forces reporting into her   However, the main reason the above news is impotant, is your Panaji Aaji - that's your Dadoo's Mumma's mumma.In case you need a reminder - this is picture of you with her when you just 9 months old     She stays with Chaya aaji in Thane, which is very close to Mumbai and she has this amazing ability to tell you all the President's of India in the correct chronological order. She has also actually written down the list in Kanadda -...

Hi Kapish,   Continuing on from my last post where we felt you had fallen sick and recovered fully - well we were proven terribly wrong!! The month of June 2022 had brought in some weird ever-changing weather to Bangalore and along with that came a host of viral infections. So, just when we thought you had recovered and we sent you back to school, you caught the bug and fell sick again   It was on a Thursday, a few weeks' back that you woke up coughing and we decided to keep you at home and started some home remedies. By Saturday, when the condition hadn't improved, we tele-consulted your pediatrician who got you started on some oral medicines  However, these oral medicines didn't seem to help as well - cause by Tuesday, you were running a very high fever accompanied by the constant coughing. On Wednesday - when we checked your fever - it was as high as 102.5F   This called for a visit to the clinic where Dr Poonam examined you and suggested we immediately get you st...

 Hi Kapish, The date today is 19th June, 2022 - It's Fathers' Day and while I did add a very nice picture of us on Instagram to tell the world that I am celebrating this special occasion, I wanted to write this blog to tell you the true feeling in my heart - one of regret!   You see, exactly one week back on Sunday, you suddenly took ill. Everything seemed fine, when suddenly you refused to eat breakfast and started to cry. No mater how much we tried to convince you to eat, you simply refused food and even went to sleep on an empty stomach in the afternoon. By evening, you had even refused to drink water and despite of giving you some medicine overnight, the next day you ran a fever in the range of 102F We took you to your pediatrician, Dr Poonam Kamble, in Cloud9 on Monday where due to the heavy rush, we had to wait for over an hour to consult her. She examined you, and to our comfort, ensured us that there was no heaviness in your chest and no blockage in your nose or throat...

 Hi Kapissh, Yesterday, the 1st of June 2022, was the day you officially started school Kinfolk Montessori in class MONT-1 was your destination, and as I write this, I am glad to tell you that you have successfully completed two days in school without any hiccups The prep for this day had begun almost a week back when we got that email from your school that you were going to be part of the first batch of kids who gets to start school. Mumma arranged for a beautiful-looking bag with your name inscribed on it, and we got busy finalizing your clothes to wear, snacks to carry, water bottle, and temporary name tag (for the first week). We even started to try and talk to you about what to expect, without knowing if you were able to make any sense of it The day finally arrived - we woke you up early and got you all ready to go. Your hair was neatly tied into two ponies and you even posed for a few pics before we left Both Mumma and I drove you to school, and as we approached their main ga...

 Hi Kapish, It's almost June 2022 - time for you to officially start your schooling program! We have taken your admission to Kinfolk Montessori school in Whitefield because we wanted to make sure that we try and provide you with the best possible education. At this stage, you probably have little idea of what is to come, but it was a very exciting time for Mumma, Ajji, and me Now, you need to know that at this point, Mumma is working as the Center head of a pre-school cum daycare called Little Big World and close to Mothers' Day, she decided to do a small activity in the center with mothers and wanted to take you along to see how you will adapt to the new surroundings for one day So, with a new bag and hair all tied up nicely, we took you along to the center and dropped you off at the entrance Just as I was about to say Goodbye, you said the word "Dadoo" and indicated me to join you as well in the center, but then since Mumma was next to you, you went along without ...

 Hi Kapish, Sometime last week, your Mumma shared the below pic with me on watsapp and wrote " My very first book with Dadoo " and the date on which this was taken was 23rd June 2019 You were barely 5 months old and it was normal for anyone at that age to get attracted to something new with a flash of colours, but to find that glitter in your eye as I read you the contents of that book was truly refreshing to see This book " The First 100 Words " was the very first book which we brought for you and we used to take turns to read it to you 3 to 4 times daily. You loved it so much that we instantly decided to invest in books for you and slowly and steadily your collection of books has already crossed 50+ A complete collection of Naisha stories, National Geographic books of Space, Animals, Oceans and Birds, Alphabets and phonics, and even a few books on Hindi and Kannada alphabets which called for a separate rack dedicated to Miraya's books Now, as you grow-up, yo...
