Ishi's Space...: Celebrating Love... :-)

Between 10 and 11 am everyday, the power goes off for a good hour or more. Its very irritating because mornings are when I get time to myself…time to read, blog, chat, surf, write mails etc while the clothes are in the washing machine and the woman who helps me is getting her work done, followed by the cook. By 12:30 everything’s been taken care off and I’m all set, showered and ready, to get Vedant from the bus stop.

With the power gone, I feel handicapped! But here I am anyway, scribbling this post in my diary with a pencil *cursing my handwriting*. There was a day last week when we had no power for 10 whole hours (6 hours at a stretch due to some local fault) and 4 hours of the usual load shedding! Life can get worse though because today’s paper talks about 12 hour power breakdown yesterday in other parts of town! Pheww!!

It’s been a while since I wrote my last post about my trip to Khajjiar. I’ve been busy since signing up for Shiamak's dance classes (for both Vedant and myself) and also with Vedant’s summer assignments. No, I didn’t do it all! Vedant had to do the worksheets and the coloring while Rajiv and I did the cutting and pasting. The concept for the pop up chart was a shared initiative! Hmmmm…all in all a fun way to spend time together (though yes we did crib a lot about burdening kids & us (!) with too much home work).

I kind of enjoy such projects once I get started that is :-)

In my room, there are two family photo collages. One is on the main door of my room which has a banner stating “5 Years Together” which btw should read as “5 Married Years Together” because Rajiv and I have been together for even longer. Well, this year tomorrow, it will be “7 Married Years Together” and “10 years Together”…Yes, 5th July is our anniversary :-)

And that is why the following paragraphs are for hubby dearest …

“I know I always maintained that we’d take each day, each month and each year as it comes. I’d always say “If I love my today with you, I’d keep wanting my tomorrows with you” and I keep repeating to one and all “Nothing’s Forever”!

But fact is you make me question my own belief, my thoughts. I do believe now that “Forever could be ours”, that even when my “todays” with you have been tough and difficult, I’ve kept wanting my “tomorrows” with you and now I even find myself saying, “Baby lets take each decade as it comes!”…

And I know I don’t say it often or maybe not at all but “Thank You baby” for being there for me (I know u don’t have a choice! But…) For helping me transform from being your GF, to your wife, to the mother of our child…For growing with me in the past 10 years…For the faith and love you have for my family (like I do for yours). I’d even say thanks for all the crazy fights and tough times we’ve had because they’ve made me a stronger person and you can shake your head in disagreement baba but a more mature person too! Thank you for indulging the child in me, for pampering every whim and fancy, for reading my blog(s) even when you get home dead tired and ready to crash! For Vedant and for sharing the thought of yet another baby! Thank you for the past 10 years and for the very optimistic sooo many years I envision ahead….

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEETHEART!!

And congrats for completing 4 years at work (see I knew our anniversary day would be lucky for us!)… time for a big celebration...our anniversary, your job and Vedant's Birthday...one big party!! :-) ...
