I made the blog pubulic a while ago...and although I knew I would have a very few visitors..something always prohibited me to publish a post!

Now that this is my personal diary again..maybe I would be a bit regular...I certainly hope so...

Had Gouri and Ashish over for lunch today. Was a host after a long time and cooked a nice enough after a long time. Pasta for starters, rajma, jeera aloo and white chicken for main course and celebrations chocolates for dessert.

Pretty washed out today but the feeling of restlessness doesnt leave me. feel so alone and tiny in the biiiiiiiiiiiiiig world. or very claustrophobic in this small house! cant decide between the two.

need to do something....i feel my life is just passing me by.

regarding my sweet angel, he is growing up day by day. he is one of the most cutest kids i have ever seen. everyday i feel blessed to have such a non-fussy child.

i really need to take him out more. otherwise he will also clam up in a shell like me.

regarding s and me, the distance seems to be growing. life has become quite monotonous. i feel sorry for the poor guy too. he works so hard. doesnt have a life outside his office and home. but then, maybe that is his problem!

i really wish i had someone to talk to...:(.....but then what would i talk about...have nothing to talk to...

i am devoid...

I'm back..

I'm back on the blogosphere...with a baby(or baba, to be more precise) in tow...

He is the cutest angel ever!! and I still can't believe he is almost 8 months old...!!!

Yours or mine?

I often wonder which genes my baby will inherit from me and which traits from my hubby. Here is a wishlist:
Mine
My eyes
My lips
My face structure
My hair
My temper
My stubbornness
My love of reading
My IQ
My love of food and cooking
My love for fine things in life
My financial judgement
My manners

His
His skin
His height
His nose
His complexion
His skin
His body structure
His even & patient nature
His gift of gab
His extrovert nature
His family values
His belief in God

Something I wouldn’t want the baby to inherit from either of us
Our moodiness
Our extreme cautiousness
Our inclination to always be politically correct

Discovery ke side effects - II

As the D-day is coming nearer, the frequency of my delivery dreams is also increasing. Dreamt another one last night, where my sister, me and my cousin are all pregnant and due on the same date. The doc gives us an injection and shows a thermometer type thingie wherein if the 25 mark is crossed, labour would begin. My sis's thermometer begins to climb steadily and soon crosses the 25 point mark and we proceed to encourage her to push...push...and push..

And then lo and behold....out of a skin coloured hot-water bottle...comes a feeding bottle!!!!! and then a plastic doll....which after scraping off the plastic becomes the baby!!!!!!! And it has its hair styled in impeccably cut long layers!!!!!!!!!!

Can anything get more weirder than this!

Discovery ke side effects

Two days ago I decided to chuck aside my laptop for a day and instead give some attention to another consumer durable item in my house 'TV'. And so I happen to watch 'Birth Story' on Discovery Channel in which I saw a LIVE NORMAL DELIVERY!! It would be an understatement to say that the show was 'eye-opening'! I was shocked, apprehensive, scared, relieved and moved to tears. The scene of the new born baby popping out into the world refused to go out of my mind...

To the effect, that last night I was convinced that my water had broken and I had gone into labour. A visit to the loo dispelled all such imaginative notions from my head and I managed to slip into la la land after much tossing and turning. But my mind refused to accept that my delivery date is still good 2 months away. I dreamt of how my water broke, how I rushed to the hospital, how a silly doc displayed diagrams and diagrams of the kind of episotomy he would prefer to do on me (EEKS). But thankfully, I woke up before he could butcher me up.

Reading and watching birth stories are unravelling my mind...rather than preparing me for the D-day

Things that make me go UMMMMMMM...

For a person who hardly had any cravings during her pregnancy...this list might seem pretty long :p

In my 1st trimester
1) Pepperoni Pizza: Infact any pizza was fine with me..
2) Apple Pie with icecream: Simply delicious
3) Bournvita Milk: Craved this for a couple of weeks...but simply hate the sight of it now
4) McDonalds Burger: Still love to have it.....I even dream about it
5) Fish: Used to have fish 2-3 times a week in the first trimester
6) Chinese: This was my strongest craving and has refused to abate even now
7) Arvi: How my husband abhors this craving of mine
8) Beer: One craving I didnt give into...
9) Cheese & Chutney S/W: I think this was more of a convenience

2nd trimester
1) Ragda Pattice: Loved to have this even if I had the worst case of acidity and heartburn later
2) Kulfi: Have demanded this a couple of times after midnight and sweet hubby managed to get it everytime
3) Parathas: My MIL was in demand for her parathas laden with ghee
4) Rajma Chawal: Cooked by my MIL
4) Rose Milk: Had a brief romance with rose milk when I was in my maayka
5) Aloo Chat: See 'Ragda Pattice'
6) Chocolates: Craved intensely for dark chocolates...so much that told my cousin to get some for me during his trip abroad...and he got me....worth $500!!!!!! My family is of the opinion that my baby will be born dark due to me bingeing on dark chocolates!!!

3rd trimester
1) Coffee: This craving has struck me out of the blue...and is quite strange as I abhorred coffee
2) Apple: See 'Coffee'
3) Prawns Gassi with Appam: Mahesh Lunch Home Zindabad!!!
4) Maggi: My latest crush!!

I'm sure that in the remaining 1.5 months the list is going to get longer....
