You are a blessing, one that I was too afraid even to wish for. Somehow I could never imagine that the universe could grant me this- a daughter. In fact, I still can't believe it sometimes-my daughter, my heart. But I'm going to be brutally honest with you. I don't know how to raise you. … Continue reading Happy 1st, DolluDoll
4th Birthday Wish coming in late!
Dear Gautam, I'm sorry for not writing this before. All of our lives have changed since I was here last. 2024 was a good year for all of us. Your father and I were able to start our very own little Bistro called Loam. And you were very much part of the team! Your little … Continue reading 4th Birthday Wish coming in late!
The Third Birthday Wish
Alright Gautam, blame me for being tardy. However, here I am, trying to keep up with your pace. Trying to pen down and summarize the million tiny little feelings I feel each passing year, so that one day, some day, if ever you need to come back here, you can. I'm saying this because even … Continue reading The Third Birthday Wish
Sinking
I have been sinking for the last few days. It is not about work. Well it is not only about work. For the last few days, I have not felt like working, making cheese, waking up in the morning, exercising, feeding Gautam, bathing Gautam. Actually, I have not felt like doing anything. I just want … Continue reading Sinking
The Second Birthday Wish
Dear Gautam, I am a couple of days late in writing this, but when I write for you, I want to write from my heart. I don't want to rush it at all. The last few days, weeks and months have been overwhelming for our family, even you. Dadda is not around because he has … Continue reading The Second Birthday Wish
Hola again!
It has been a while, I know. For some unknown reason that only my subconscious knows best, I was under the mistaken impression that this blog was not important, or at least high on my priority list to tend to regularly. I completely lost sight of the reason I started off in the first place. … Continue reading Hola again!
The First Birthday wish
Dear Gautam, You turned 1 yesterday. Since you are now a toddler, I wanted to make this letter special for you, and so I have pondered and pondered over what I should write, but nothing is going to be special enough . No words can match the feeling I feel when I see you wake … Continue reading The First Birthday wish
The Balancing Act
You all know that sometime in January 2020, I had quit my career of law to do something on my own, something that did not involve practicing law. You also know that in March of 2020, I was pregnant, and now I am a mother to a beautiful almost-one year old boy. What you don't … Continue reading The Balancing Act
11 months
Dear Gautam, Only a month away from toddlerhood, you now weigh 9 kgs, and I do not know how many cms, but you're doing pretty well. You can walk now, even though we really have to coax you into taking those tiny little steps. You have also started climbing down beds and sofas, which means … Continue reading 11 months
10 months
Dear Gautam, 14 Sep, 2021 At 10 months, you weigh 8.790kgs and are at a height of 75cms. You have more than tripled your birth weight. Thank you for cooperating with me, nursing and eating so well. I would have been very worried otherwise. You have been standing up with support and cruising for the … Continue reading 10 months
