  • Bran(d)ependent

    Its surprising how our dependence on things increase over a period of time! More often than not, we adults label this as lack of simplicity in our lives!

    I am working from home today and have a few gadgets around me, triggering how much I need all these brands for my day! Surrounded by brands, here is a quick reconciliation of some of the names I can see around myself…

    • Apple
    • Bose
    • HTC
    • Blackberry/RIM
    • Lenovo
    • Canon
    • Casio
    • Panasonic
    • Neelgagan
    • Hindustan UniLever
    • Sony
    • Roots
    • Whirlpool
    • IFB
    • Airtel
    • Samsung
    • Hot Wheels
    • Bombay Dyeing
    • Portico
    What I am really missing is a lot of stuff from flea markets that I have always wanted to buy! Someday for sure!

     

  • Can watch you for hours when you sleep!

    Its amazing how I feel when I watch you sleep… its like meditation! Peace!

  • Speak a few!

    Would it not be wonderful if you were speaking to us already?

    We have to figure out so many things by just looking at your face these days… and most of the times what you do is accompanied by air punches and air kicks! Cold or not, you do not like the blanket on you.. but we feel that you should… and at times we have force it on you as well because its so cold…

    And what’s with the burping? You get hungry and rushing for milk is understandable… and because you are too hungry, at times you gulp like crazy is also understandable… but with Papa and Mama both trying to get you to burp, you don’t help at times! not good… and we know it troubles you when you have a stomach full of milk and air!

    Please sweetie… let’s try and make it more milk and less air!

    And its interesting how different doctors have so many different views on infant care! 🙂 Dr. Arvind Garg and a few others in NCR do not recommend any massage to you right now, and the doctor in Panipat is in favor of a regular massage.. and so are your grandparents! I am not sure I guess! Logically there is no harm in giving you a massage, however it has to be a careful process to ensure we don’t hurt you anywhere!

    Hope you are liking it so far! Love you!

  • Another milestone in fatherhood

    In addition being able to make Veda sleep, stop her from crying, singing to her, and being able to change her nappies and diapers, I could give her a nice warm bath today!

    She did cry, but not as much as I had feared she would!

    All is Well! 🙂

  • The most loved…

    Someone told me that when an infant pees on someone, (s)he is going to be the most loved person by that kid!

    And what do you know!

    I was the first person to be peed on! Does not make me very comfortable, but I’d like to believe that I am going to be loved the most!

  • Fatherhood

    Its a phase that you enter as soon as your baby is born, however the feeling takes a while to sink in!

    • I love that baby in my room!
    • I have looked at her for hours without moving a bit, not really sure why!
    • I have been very concerned about jaundice situation, while knowing that its usual for new borns to go through!

    And so on and so forth! But do I call myself a father as yet? I don’t think so…

    I think this title cannot be bestowed upon someone just because a baby is born! I would have to earn it!

    Soon enough!  I hope!

  • My Binary Baby

  • Milestone…

    Recording the birth of my daughter… Too overwhelmed to write anything else right now…

  • Marriage is

    Marriage is = Wife carrying Meena Bazaar bags + Husband carrying Big Bazaar bags!

  • Nine and Zeroes

    Its been a long journey and a bond that has only strengthened over time. Radha completed 90,000 kms recently and is still going strong!

    With some minor denting/painting done last week, she is shining like new, and gives a lot of new hatchbacks a run for their money!

    Thank you FIAT for making such a brilliant car! Hope you keep doing the same for years to come!
