Intro Part II

Now that you have the background, it's time for some updates.
I had sent that mail to y'all a few years back when I had set foot into this enchanting world. 
That was a long time back. I AM A BIG BOY NOW. 


Before you start cooing "choo chweet" and stuff, let me point out, that I will be turning four next month. That's what mom told me. And four is BIG. I know. I just know.


Please also be aware that my grandad's describes me as the boy who claims to be the fastest, tallest, biggest and is always first (sometimes eleventeen and ninety ten also. Hey! Stop! If you think you will laugh like my MnD do, then stop it. Those are numbers.) That must have given you an idea of what kind of a rockstar I am.


To add to my credentials, I would like to share that I have successfully "graduated" from playschool and now am geared to enter the big bad world of kindergarten. Believe me, it's not so bad. I quite like LKG D. 


I would likey to take your leave now UnAs. My nimble fingers are hurting. Boy! This typing business is pretty tiring. You think i can hire meself a beautiful secretary for all these cumbersome jobs? Let me know if you know anybody. 


Don't forget, I will back again.


p.s. MnD stands for mom and dad, duh! mommy and daddy re!
UnAs Uncles and Aunties. Try and remember it. 

Intro time, guys :)

Hi dear Uncles and Auntieeeeeeeeeeeeeees,

i know majority of you wudnt want me to call you that, nevertheless...

I also know that you have been eagerly waiting for news from my mom... she promised she'd send you the updates... of who else but ME :) and that she never did...

by now u must b cursing her (she does deserve it for being so lazy)... but i hope u are still interested in titbits from my side of the world...

Enough is enough! I can't wait any longer... i'll do the introduction bit myself

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (again)

I am Skandan... that's what they've named me... on the 25th of June at Vizag (my paternal grandparents' house)...

They tell me i will also live in Vizag for some years to come.

the ceremony was much ado, full with pundits (tam bram style), friends and family members... the nameless little me was blessed with the usual pooja, havan and what-have-you.

I was also christened Venkat by my grandparents (It is actually my Dad's Uncle's name which i have inherited)

The evening was more fun with my dad's colleagues, friends and their children coming home to congratulate us. This was more my style coz i spotted sm members of the homo sapien species closer to my age. i even have identified a "few" who can be my future girlfriends, although mom says i am a too young for all that. i beg to differ.

Lots of excitement and fun... i guess... i was sleeping through the evening, to tell you the truth.

Mom and dad were beaming am sure.

they missed your presence... but i told them not to feel bad coz we will have our celebrations soon... right?

you all will come and meet me na?

love to all,

Skandan 

(p.s. this is only a formality... you can call me anything you like... hero, superhero, superstar, wonderboy, darling, cutie pie, etc etc)

Sabotage!

It is outrageous!
Am soooooooooooooo angry I can't tell you...
This mom of mine is so so so useless!


What was she thinking when she started this blog?
That you open an account and the blogs would just appear? Abracadabra huh?
That kind of stuff happens in my world not in yours... you adults.


I am disgusted by the inactivity and sheer laziness shown by my mom and have decided to takeover.
The BIGGEST injustice one can do to a blog is to abandon it and not post new stuff.
I am here to change that.


Be ready to be hear from me soon.


btw, I am Skandan.

Blessed am I

It wasn't the easiest ride,
bumpy and swirly,
a twisty and a twirly,
had to take it all
in my stride.


The wait was long, the path arduous
the days each came anew
and the toll imprinted on every sinew.
For what would come
I was curious.


My windfall,
Manna from heaven,
good fortune in my lap had fallen.
A happier day
I can't recall.


The bundle of joy
toppled my world;
such happiness had it unfurled.
Words I have none, 'cept
to have you, little one,
blessed am I.

Welcome all :)

Hi all,
I wonder why I didn't do this much earlier. It has taken almost three years for me to gather my strength, recall those moments and put pen to paper (in this case, finger to keyboard). I am sure every mother would have reams to write about and share when it comes to her "little one". I do too.


Firstly, allow me to present to you my not-even-three-feet, almost-three-year-old son.
An ardent fan of Superman, like the Big B, he can talk superman, walk superman, eat, sleep, dream and everything. With the swish of his hand and "whoosh" on his lips, he soars in the blue skies and lives a life that only kids can live. At times, I wonder if he has a Lois Lane in mind too ;) You never know, kids are pretty fast these days.
Currently, his favourite grub is pasta. He loves the outdoors 24x7. And the one thing that he would want is for his "appa" to leave everything and spend all his time with him, exclusively.
There's more to know about him and you will... by and by.

I wouldn't go all mushy and say he is the apple of my eye. But a fact I can't evade is that he is The only person who could turn my life upside down. Until his birth, life had been peaceful with its fair share of ups and downs. But the day he arrived and ever since, I have felt the way I have never felt ever before. How can one be happy and angry, joyful and worrying, crying and smiling (and so forth) all at the same time? Many would agree, one's child could do that to you.
So read on...
Don't forget to write in.

Toodles,

Josh/Jyo
