Life of Annika

Had a long weekend this time. So did Annika. For three days in a row I woke up and played with her all day. I did not say "tata" and walk out of the door at 9. It was party time. Both her parents at home for so long. and both sets of grandparents, and cousin over too! Just in these three days she seems so much happier, is more responsive, more playful than she normally is. Sigh working mom guilt. Everyone goes through it. My mom did, my mother in law did. All of us turned out fine. But I still fear... what if i am hampering her development? is there something missing in her nourishment? I will never know I guess. She has no clue it is Sunday night and mom and dad go to work tomorrow. I guess thats why she is sitting here and cackling away and I am sulking in my head.   guilty if you work, guilty if you don't.

They say given infinite monkeys, infinite time and infinite typewriters, you can come up with the entire work of Shakespeare.. This is the work of one such monkey and one such typewriter (keyboard) R ede r -i-mx xc j7bh 5cnbs007A v “ 6v l ng \] \ ] u

This is Ajji..   Testing..

It's been a long time since I last wrote on this one.. I think li'l Karuna last wrote.. Not even me.. Unfortunately, I don't feel guilty of not writing on this.. Not sure how many read it anyway ... That's the way the story normally goes, doesn't it?? You start something with enthusiasm and gusto.. And it lasts roughly 7 months.. Then life kicks in.. Unless you are 7 months old yourself... Everything is new and beautiful.. Everything is worth holding in your hand.. Everything is just so exciting.. Everything is just so unique.. Everything is just so simple..

As I saw Chechi sit with Kavya and teach her English, I just learnt something very scary...   Some day I would have to teach Annika that     --  she is born in April, but on the 9th in 2008.    --  she lives at Brahma Avenue in  Kondhwa,    --  but her grandparents live in Sangeeta Apartments on Tadiwala Road..    and try to make it perfectly logical!!!

There she was...sleeping.. Slowly the thumb went into the mouth.. and the sucking motion started... Slowly the eyes opened, full of sleep and full of hunger.. She saw a familiar face and gave the biggest smile of recognition possible.. Then she realized the familiar face is not the familiar face which brings the food.. And gave the biggest, loudest cry possible.. .. .. Cameras don't quite do justice to some things.. They just remain in your memories for ever..
