My
recent Delhi trip was nothing short of a
roller-coaster rider and the credit goes to my little one. As my husband
says “adventure and you can never be apart”. There are few things I wanted to
leave for you, Smera to read when you grow up, considering my memory is not
that worth mentioning. So here it goes, buckle up my love and read on what you
did.
§
Baggage belt is
meant to move baggage. Baggage does not include us humans, darling. Hence it’s
not meant for you to run on. This was your second attempt but your super-alert
mamma caught you!
§ To make up for the
lost opportunity, you made me and Grandma run through the entire terminal 1 at
Dubai and very conveniently lost your shoe.
§
I somehow managed
to retrieve the shoe but you preferred to walk without it. Am I am thankful on
that bit since I didn’t have to run again searching for the shoe, but
unfortunately the socks had to be discarded.
§
You slept like an
angel through the flight, like you always do and if you are not sleeping you do
make sure the fellow passengers are thoroughly entertained!
§
Your baby food
bottle broke in my bag soaked my voice recorder which had become a constant
companion for me to leave voice notes for my next big blog idea.
§
Grandpa patiently
took charge to clean up the mess and separating sticky lactose from high-tech
electronics. It’s currently under repair, but let’s pray that we can
fix it.
§
Next time you are
visiting Delhi ,
we will make sure that Rani di (aka our help) gets her annual vacation, since
your clothes give the impression that you’ve been busy doing her job.
§
Considering the
amount of beating and fighting you did with Grandpa and Uncle Sanju, wrestling
could be a good career option for you.
§
But if that’s not
good enough, you could try what Grandma thinks – athletics, given that you are
always on the run.
§
Aunty Veda taught
you new dance steps this trip, so you make sure you practice it well. And her
bangles are not meant to be worn on your ears they are meant for hands.
§
And an interesting
encounter with the God, more on that in the next post.
P.S. - Incase you've missed

Nice one. I used to have similar experience when my little monster was one year old. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope things have improved, at least that's what I am pinning my hopes on :)
DeleteHahaha... Smera's gonna wonder "Was I really like this?" when she gorws up and reads it :P
ReplyDeleteSuper alert mama... Great job! Smera will either be proud or she'll think you're exaggerating ;)
So whom did she gets this mischief in her genes from? Mom or dad? I think I know the answer ;)
I am not sure of what Smera would think when reads them but I am sure she will know that we love her a lot !!
DeleteAs far as the naughty genes are concerned I would like believe that I have very little input on that front :)
And that is precisely why I said maybe we already know the answer... ;)
Delete:)
DeleteHi
