It has been a while since I logged in. But I promise I will visit here often onwards. Years has gone away like a coll breeze and lots of things happend in life and we added a new family member and he is now 4.2 year old. Life seems so busy with family and work life. Today was a busy day with work. I had to sit in the call for a long time. Appu was playing alone after taken back from his school. When he came home, I asked him if he needs food and he rejected food when given as he was not hungry. He usually have his snacks at school just before noon. So I went back to my meetings and I could hear him playing in the living room. After 3 pm he came to me with a peanut butter sandwitch which he made himself and I was surprised to see that. He dragged a chair to get the peanut butter from the top shelf and not sure how he understood the peanut butter jar was kept in the shelf. I bought that sometimes back. I was so surprised to see the sandwitch he made and filled my eyes with tears when he asked if I need some from his sandwitch. He is 4.2 year old. I told him with tears that I am not hungry, but wanted to make sure if the peanut butter is not expired. So I asked him to get the jar to check the expirey date. He rushed back to kitchen and I went to kitchen to check what he is doing since he was taking more time to come back with peanut butter jar. I saw him spreading peanut butter on bread and since it was thick, spoon was not working for him, he was using his hand. I could see peanut butter on his clothes. I asked him why are you making it again and he said "Its for you Amma". I hugged him and kissed on his smelly cheeks and cried. Yes kids are angels given to us from heaven. Just for a moment i hate my job and thought if I could spend more time with him. He likes to play with him, getting pamperd and he loved hugs and kisses. I told Kunji this and she was feeling sympathy for him. Love you both a lots- Amma- good night

Kunji, I couldn't write you for long time. We have relocated to another state. I defended my thesis last month and so I am free now. Going to graduate on May 9th. I promise that I will write everyday about your day. Today, we had you 5 year old appointment with your doctor and you are a very healthy girl. You are very tall. You have got some tooth decay. But we are not taking you to doctor as it is not bothering you. We have joined you again here in a piano class. You like piano class and you are waiting for Saturdays to come to go for the class. You are watching Ipad a lot. I have to control it. I was wondered today when you told me " 2-1=1; but 1-2=0; because we cannot take away two from one". I asked you that how did you learn it and you said from ipad game. You read now lots of words and small stories alone. And you write the spelling of some simple words such as up, pup, can, pan, one, two, three, if I say the words. Your last quarter assessment was good. You only have problem with rhymes. Teacher has very good opinion about your character. She wrote that you set an example to other students in the class. your chacha was so happy after the meeting with your teacher. You miss your best friend Sra...badly and you both do a lot of facetime calls and chat a lot. I prepared fish biriyani last week as it was Easter and you loved it very much.

Kunje I am not able to write about you frequently as I have to study a lot. Going to finish MS soon. Your best friend got a baby brother. you want a baby sister. I don't know why you always say "baby girl". I don't know what is the wrong if you get a baby brother. You are going to participate in onam celebration. So you are practicing dance every sunday with your friends. In first class I thought you will not be able to dance as it was classical. But you picked up so fast and now you dance well. We will join you in dance class after you turn 6. You are so tall and now itself you look like you are already six. You draw well. And we joined you in piano class. You teacher Mr.David is great. He spends more time with you. Today is August 3rd 2014 3.28 pm your best friend Sradha is here both of you are playing together. you like her company a lot. Right after you wake up, you ask me if Sradha can come our home. You wait for her if you get something to eat what she likes. Today we went to church and came back. And I gave you a fruit snacks as you have behaved well at church. I promised if you come to church everyday for 25 days, I will get you Rainbow dash pony and you have already shutterfly. You have summer vacation now and your school is going to reopen by this end of the month. You can read not so complex words and We go library every Thursday and I take books for you from there. The library has story time for your age on Thursdays before noon. We go there usually and enjoy the puppet show. Nothing more kunje. I will try to write once in a week. I am not sure about that till December that means my graduation. Love you Amma

Spring has started and I have pollen allergy. Your chacha, me and you are sick. I took you for Easter egg hunting but you couldn't participate as you were not old enough to join the group and the egg hunting for small children were over when we reached there. But you got some eggs from the information desk. You always want to do something. you do not like to sit idle. Chacha bought a new cycle for you. You have spring break for one week. Kunje sometimes I feel like to go back to my native and live there with you and chacha. Sometimes I see videos and pictures of my native its makes a lot of memories which we had spent there. Sometimes when we get old, if your chacha loves to stay there, we will go and settle there. I just gave you medicine for your cold. We prefer natural medicine without any side effects. Love you a lot kunje. You may not be understanding it now. But I believe when you become a mother of a child , you will understand how much we have loved you. You are always busy and sing a lot. You know frozen songs "let it go" and "do you want to build a snowman" . Its funny to watch you and your friend sing the song and pretend to act like Ana and Elsa. I have to study kunje bye for now...
