something to ponder over..

If you think you deserve better – find it.

If you can’t find it – you deserve no better.

Such true words,especially for me -in these times…

lovely weekend

had an amazing weekend that is very unfortunately drawing to a close right now 😦

went shopping with friends for my niece 😀 shopping and me do not necessarily go hand in hand.Infact i have always had my aunt and sisters do that for me 😀

But the shopping that i am talking about right now was BOOK shopping. And WHO better than me! someone who can stay in landmark ALL DAY and yet feel like there was SO LITTLE TIME!!!

an opportunity i can never,ever let go is to shop for books.i can just do that a million times over.

That too for my niece- a girl i will always cherish more than my own child , for the sheer reason that she is THAT particular sister’s(whom i love to bits) child and that i happen to feel like i had a part in her growing up in the past six years ..She was the first baby i held and kissed and cuddled..ever 🙂 being the last one in the family and the only child has its disadvantages..So it was when she was born midway during my 11th grade that i realised how wonderful it was to have a baby in the house ..The joy is simply inexplicable.

Remember seeing her the day she was born at the hospital-remember going there at the wee hours of the day even before school started but returning disappointed because we weren’t allowed inside ..

Remember returning back in the evening to see..To me then,she was MY sisters baby. Not an individual by her own right..

And then ,slowly she grew..into this lovely,lovely baby who’d smile EVERYTIME i’d come into the room..who’d move her pudgy legs and arms so quickly to show her excitement at my being there…

who’d look at my face intently as if she understood every word i was cooing in baby language…her eyes would speak what her mouth couldn’t at that point..

and then..she started crawling 🙂

she’d scramble for my feet and cling to them as if to say please ,please LIFT ME 🙂

And that is probably when i fell for her.

Hook,line and sinker.

I would love carrying her around always much to the chagrin of the rest of the family.Her mother would call me to make her laugh she was in a sour mood:)

The feeling that I could brighten up the moment of a child just by my presence and some antics was wonderful.I revelled in it 🙂

She left Chennai when she was around 10months old only to return a short while later 🙂

And our relationship became even more mutual.

The reason i say that is that as she grew she would respond to me and that was one of the happiest periods of my life because i was at the recieving end of such amazing unconditional love.

I was personally going through trouble at that time and she was my lifeline.

I would cry and she would just look at me with those huge eyes and say-“thoona” and hug me as if to say-don’t worry this too shall pass.

To my baby,my niece-the absolute darling of our family -love you,ammu 🙂

Miss you a lot 🙂 seekram inga vanthudu 🙂

PS:this post is probably not one of my better ones in terms of coherent writing but all i can say in return it is as heartfelt as the rest,if not more.Oh and to continue where i left off,at the start,the weekend involved lots of book buying for her and i am SO hyper about it 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

I am not being very coherent because its Sunday night and i have an annoying week stretching ahead of me..

Have a wonderful week people 🙂

back-with you fill up my senses :)

i am back after an abnormal hiatus 🙂

for anyone who missed me,thanks a lot -me back 🙂

will post more regularly henceforth …

—————————————————————

Until then,here’s a song that’s my current favourite-

You fill up my senses like a night in a forest,
Like the mountains in springtime,
Like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms.
Let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you
Come let me love you, come love me again.

Let me give my life to you,
Come let me love you, come love me again.

You fill up my senses like a night in a forest,
Like the mountains in springtime,
Like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
—————————————————————————–

My eyes fill up everytime i hear this..
