Lost in Reverie....

Hello everyone!! We’re back to namma bengaluru from New York and everyone’s been asking “how does it feel to be back??” It always feels good to be back home. Yes, Bangalore is what I like to call home now :) When I came here in 2004 (it’s been almost 7 yrs!) it took me some time to start liking this city.

I was afraid to even pick him or hold him fearing that anything might hurt my baby. I’m sure every mom feels the same for her child, but he seemed to be the cutest,prettiest,loveliest baby I had ever seen! Seems that he is growing with every blink of the eye - from lying calmly, to moving hands and legs, to smiling, to cooing, to holding hands, to grasping toys, to rolling, falling and now crawling… It's all just amazing! How someone so dependent on you starts learning things one by one and will finally be able to lead a life on his own..even then he w
