Little one turns 5!

Its been a real loooong time and I am so happy to be writing again. These few past years... phew! what a journey... what great adventure... what an amazing reward. It all worked well at last and as my younger baby girl turns 5, I gets chills down my back looking forward to many more adventures with her. She is just like I had always dreamed of.. talkative, sweet, caring and intelligent. Its like all my desires and ambitions stuffed in a dreamy bubbly living doll, blessed with the sweetest of the smiles I had ever seen and the cherry on the cake is her eyes twinkles when she smiles. 

For me, I have been really busy post marriage... adjusting to a new sector of people I was unaware for this long. The warmth and affection I receive from my husband and his family is much much more than my real time expectations. I found a wonderfully understanding life partner who contributes to my personal growth whole heartedly. Having being brought up in northern India, although not fully unaware, I still had a slight resistance to traditional south Indian culture. My partner is brought up in Chennai and more than Love, it was understanding and respect at first sight. We could feel each other's dream and the very thought of pursing it as a team made me feel at home. With him, I found my home. 

My first born is a naughty lad who has got special powers... blessed child, his school calls him a prodigy kid. Well prodigy although is a blessing but with it comes huge huge responsibility on a parent shoulder. As a toddler he learnt some 15 languages and has a proficiency so fluent in English Reading that the little things which "usual kids" enjoy like playing on swings, visiting beach etc. was not "fascinating" enough for him. Now as a parent what do you do? I treat him like a little 2 year old and he doesn't like it. I possibly cant let him go to a library and read for the whole day and receive weird stares from other parents as if I am the torturous witch to make my 2 year old read. Anyways we have crossed those tough roads now and I no more care for his age or more importantly "what will people say?". He is a star in his school and he doesn't care much of the limelight. My daughter on the other hand who is very much 'normal' is in another school so there is no crash of interest.

Its a thing how two babies with same genetic material and similar surroundings can be so vastly different in personalities. Maybe its the gender or maybe play of stars but I do have a handful to deal with here. We are all growing up one step each day and the calmness I feel when the four arms trap me is like a sea breeze in a hot sunny day. Workwise yeah its going good so far. I have a few constraints around my movement - long distance of almost 20km work to home distance, but otherwise its all working well for me so far. Little kids work magic and my talkative daughter can make me smile and rejuvenate me in seconds. I am keeping my blog alive for her sake... for her to understand me better and understand the meaning of all the weird letters I keep writing for her every now and then. I am sure she will end up in my page pretty soon and understand that its ok to make mistakes, but life shouldn't stop. And for my kids to know that I am not perfect but still I am trying and I will be there for them, no matter what.
