Glimpse of our morning here in Jammu

Everyone was busy in the wee hours of morning, grandmother busy in kitchen making yummy delights, grandfather busy with morning prayers and ohh yes I was busy clicking pictures...

It's very cold out here, we landed here and Vihaan was wrapped up in warm woollen clothes, he seemed to be little irritated though with so many clothes on, he is not used to all this...back home he keeps staring the ceiling, looking at the ceiling fans, as if asking me, why aren't they up and running?

Here are few glimpses :

Around here ...

Around here, I am capturing the beauty through my lens before the flowers wilt away, saving the last glimpse of the wonderful nature and keeping it safe in my memories, here in my blog, a beautiful reminder of our anniversary day!!

*******

Around here, I am thinking how time is flying by...how Vihaan has grown from a tiny sampling into a blooming flower...with his first birthday just around the corner..how quickly has he grown in a couple of months...how charming he has become...

*******

Around here, I am learning the art of cooking, and cooking with all my heart, pouring out my love for my family, serving the wonderful delights and cherishing the simple moments!!

*******

Around here, I am learning to keep calm, let go of certain things that are beyond our control, trying to stop being a control freak all the time, trying to let things be scattered on the floor, trying to let the room be messy for a while, trying to stop and sit down for a while, rest for a while if I don't feel like doing the chores at that very moment, trying not to be hard on myself for not being able to manage everything perfectly :)

*******

Around here, I am hoping to keep blogging everyday, sharing my thoughts about my life, about life in general, about things around while I am away, away to people that love us dearly, that are waiting to hold and love Vihaan!!

Around here, I am writing this post with the wind chime melody in the background, with the caressing breeze gently blowing my hair in the air,  with a very strange but soothing wave of comfort filling my heart!!

Around here....and just here...

I am thankful :)

I am thankful for the creativity inside me :)

Some Bum Charm ;)

Around here, we are learning new things everyday, 

Let's quickly get to the story behind this bum charm....there is a very sweet comely boy in our society "Arokya", I spotted him in his cool pants while he was hopping and running in his own world in the park couple of days back, he had very cute animal patches on his bum and his mother "Mala" told me that they have a complete set of these pants...I Absolutely fell in love with his pants.

 I wanted something like that for Vihaan as well, so I ripped some patches from Vihaan's old clothes that no longer fit him and stitched them on the pants...since we do not have a sewing machine at home, we had to do it with hands :( but we enjoyed.

  Vihaan was happy posing for pictures...it was kinda funny, I was after his bum with my lens...

Thanks to Mala and Arokya for the inspiration :)

A picture a day series.

we are travelling by the end of this month, Vihaan's 1st birthday will be celebrated in Akash's hometown where both grandparents will join us, every one is excited about the occasion.

As we are travelling ,I wanted a personalized travel bag for Vihaan  but couldn't buy one as I actually splurged at lot on his clothing :o   well then I thought of customizing one at home, we had a spare strolley, I stamp printed it and made some customized name tags as well...

Vihaan was happy being surrounded by the craft supplies and playing with color pencils.

Here are few captures

I am thankful :)

Because it runs my imagination wild, and I see so many different shapes casted by clouds in the sky!! We all have done it in our childhood, I still do it :)!!

By the way, in the picture below I see a cow & a bear...what do you??

I am thankful :)

I am thankful to God for giving me such good parents!!

Now that I am parents myself, I can understand that it is not a cakewalk, it requires a lot of patience, lots of love, understanding, and at times compromises as well...

I am thankful that my parents raised me the best way they could, gave me quality life, quality education, many good memories, and love in life!!

I love both of them :) from the core of my heart!!

I am thankful :)

I am so thankful for Cameras, without a camera how would I capture and save so many beautiful memories, such great stories, so much love...!!

I am Thankful :)

You are a beautiful thing my precious, you are my part, born out of my flesh and bones, my essence, you have the best of us, me & your father.  

I see you and I crumble like a freshly baked cookie,

I melt like butter in a pan, I dissolve like a drop of ink in the water jar, I diffuse like lemony scent in the air.

 I feel delighted, I feel elated, I tell myself "Such a beautiful thing we made out of love"...

I see you smile & I feel as if I seen a rainbow after a storm.I see you giggling & I feel as if hundred of wind chimes are dancing with the early morning breeze.

When you get hurt I feel a flutter in my heart.

You are pure joy in our life!!

I am thankful for being your mother.

PS: I have been creating these "Thankful" graphics with the help of Photofy, today I used TextCutie as well.

I am thankful :)

February is my fav month of the year, Valentine's day, Wedding Anniversary and because of 28 days you get Salary early as well ;)

Wedding Anniversary-4th year

Fourth year... and it feels as if I have been with you from ages, feels like I had to be with you only and no one else, feels inseparable...

Look how beautiful memories we made yesterday,  I see these pictures and I fall in love with you all over again... 

I had been planning for this photo shoot from quiet some time,I had been shopping online for our special outfits... taking time everyday... meticulously choosing our accessories, your bow tie, my white dress...the props..

 I had planned that we won't go out for a lunch, or dinner or just for a cup of coffee, we won't go out for shopping, we will stay at home and make some good memories over a cup of ordinary yet Sapid tea made by you ;), we will spend some exceptional time at home,  after all home is where my heart is, where you are , where my family is..


We spent close to some 2-3 hours in our photo shoot, tripod photography, it was like throwing a ball from one end and running to the other end to catch it...but we enjoyed, every shot, every click, every chase ;)

I love you my dear darling husband and I wish to be with you till the end of time, for I have planned many many more, crazy, wacky, funny, loving photo shoots with you for years to come...

Here's to our 4 years of togetherness as Husband & wife....cheers!!

PS:Photography credit goes to my husband Akash, and also to our tripod ;)for it wouldn't have been possible without you !!

Special Thanks to the "Wellness team" Akash's team at office for the scrumptious, heavenly, mouthwatering cake!!  It was a great surprise and we absolutely loved it :)!!
