4/6/2010... Wow!! What an exciting day for little Prithvi and the Mummy in me.... My baby rolled over...
I cant express how much happiness is there... Its so cute to just see him roll and then pull up his head, unable to control, put it down, try to move forward. Its real fun.
Well, how did it all begin. Chotu was trying to do it since the last one week but unsuccessfully. Everytime we used to help him do it. However, the miracle happened yesterday evening. Actually its not a miracle, just a milestone but through my eyes everything looks like a miracle. How he was, some months ago, in the womb, kicking and jumping and how he is today; connecting to people, smiling, showing anger, showing happiness, showing excitement, sadness etc. etc. Yes, coming back to where I stopped. It was evening, must be 5.30. I was going to take a bath and Mom told me to just wait for a minute as she was going somewhere else. By the time I reached the front room, chotu had already rolled over. I asked Mom if she left him like that to which she replied "NO" (Obviously, its not safe to keep a child in that position). We were so excited but sad that we could not witness it. After that began the show... He was rolling over, we were putting him back. This continued till we took him in our lap.
I called Maddy and told about the great news. He came and we all waited patiently for chotu to roll over. No success. After half an hour, he rolled on and then on there was no stopping. He even rolled over in this sleep. Gosh... Dad was too excited to watch him roll. He asked us to capture it in our mobile and send it. I have done it though wanted him to see it alive.
Today morning, on skype, managed to show him after nearly half an hour. Its such a great day. Amma went to Guruvayoor yesterday. Yesterday was really a special day. I was just wondering how many of these milestones have to come... O such a long wait for them...

Me a philosopher - Naa, nostalgia...
Priorities - You come to know about it when someone feels you are no longer a priority for them
Love - You understand it better when you know that it is so one sided that it is never love
Affection - You come to know this feeling when you are confronted with this to be the sole substitute of what you called love
Friendship - You realise its importance when you have nothing else to look to but should have been always in your eyes because it expects nothing in return
Times - Times are so precious, they are so uncertain. You never know which way they will turn but you know they are not going to return.
You wish the good times to last forever but if they last forever, you will never remember them as good times
Memories - The memories are faded but they are very strong. The one sentence, one expression, one smile and the one touch lives on in life.
Moment - You would want to repeat it but you should never because then it is not "THE MOMENT", it is just one of the moments...

First Love
If it cant be spoken of,
I spoke about it;
If its unheard of,
I heard it thousand times;
It it cant be seen,
I saw it with closed eyes;
If it cant be felt,
It hit me like a storm.
Why is this disparity,
As also this rarity,
That it happens to someone
At any time,
That it was always meant;
But never at the right time.
That its so silly,
Yet so close to heart;
Thats it forever
And ever and ever....
It was known,
But never understood.
When understood,
never felt.
When felt,
never desired.
I can bring the desire
But is it really worth ?
Can it be complemented
With an equal worth ?
It becomes dearer as you are away;
And far as you come near;
Cant say what you want to;
But say what he wants you to,
A person who waved the wind,
Is pushed by the breeze;
A person of tons,
Is reduced to one;
Not aware of consequences,
But at the heights of optimisim,
Wait for that special moment,
Yet pray it never comes,
As more than the pleasure of
confronting it;
Is perhaps the pain of waiting for it......

Past through future
Hi.. Today is a big day(for me)... It is indeed... Going through something I always wanted to... Writing... well don't how much it will interest everybody... but will definitely please me.....
First of all, the credit to this goes to my 3.5 month old. He is the one who made me realise
"You can read, you can see,
You can hear, you can feel,
can do all u please,
But can never replace experience".
My mother used this dialogue profligately "I am a mother.. You will come to know once you become one" Well actually, to be honest, I have come to know. I do not know how a small, eeny weeny thing has become such an important part of your life, you do not know the world existing outside him. Everything for u surrounds him without you becoming bored, disinterested or angry. You do become lethargic though! Still its worth it! The one smile he gives you makes all your lethargy disappear. The peace within when you see him sleeping peacefully gives you the confidence that "Yes, I can manage it". You are waiting for his landmarks patiently (Rolling over, laughing out loud, sitting etc. etc.). You are amazed at this little one, his innocence and how simple life is for him (Get food in, get food out.... ha ha ha)
Another thing which I have become to appreciate is my parents. Infact, not only mine but every parent on this planet. It takes too much to become one and not everyone can become one. As of now, I do not know about good or bad or example parents, coz I don't know which category I fall into. I am just talking about everyone who has become a parent, especially a mother.
You can have 'n' number of relationships in this world. However, the bond you share with the tiny life, you had with you for good 9 months is irreplaceable. Now, I can understand how my mom does everything for us even when we scream/shout at her for all the unneccesary and irrelevant things. I can even understand maddy's mom's love for him inspite of the faults I find in him and how difficult its for her to see someone else shouting at him. But it doesnt mean I have improved in any bit; however, I am trying. Everyday I get up thinking the same coz everytime I hurt my mom, I am the one who feels the pain. However, considering the incorrigible person that I am, its very difficult for me to say sorry. That is another thing I want to learn. Hopefully, once I start expressing my thoughts, it will become easier for me.
Now the truth (in form of a poem..." I m a self proclaimed poet ")
" I was in the sky with you within me,
You made me fly higher when u came,
You brought me on earth sooner,
And under the earth later,
I am slowing pushing my way on the top,
Will be glad to see the sun soon,
Slowly becoming the tree,
giving you shelter,
Oh! How I wish,
I replicate my tree"
This one is dedicated to all the mothers on this planet (with special mention to my Mom) and my Chhottu without whom it would not have been possible....
