Pihu wears Prada

Well, actually not :-) It was just an attention grabber.

Yesterday, she wore a dress gifted to her by none other than Mudasir!! Which is as good as wearing Prada!! For those who came in late, Mudasir had dropped in from Dubai to meet the young lady (refer a very old blog named 'Mudasir meets Pihu' (Oct 2007). The dress was a wee bit longer/larger. I am pleased to inform readers that it was worth the wait!!!


Since she was quite thrilled with her new dress, and the matching pink sandles, we decided to celebrate by eating out at Pizzahut...



which meant waiting for the Pizzaas...


sipping on masala lemonade...


checking the status with mamma every 2 minutes....


munching on some snacks....thank mamma that she carries some goodies in the diaper bag


making new friends...who already had their fill!!!



jogging to distract the mind from the tummy!!



climbing all possible railings...


Finally!!! The Pizzas got delivered!!


And they were good!!!

A happy well-fed family outside Pizzahut!!

Happy Diwali!

Our living room looked all decked up!! Here is a stitched version of around 15 snaps put together :-)

Dressing up was a task in itself... matching the bindi with the dress

And the bangles...




The output was good. Even Mamma managed to look good (please do not compare the two of us)

Mamma did a lot of work preparing for the Puja...

After the Puja was over, we wished our neighbours. Candy was the first to have the privilege of meeting me! Guess the feeling was mutual.

The second day was also very interesting!! We visited a few more people, & had dadaji and gang from Thane for dinner!!

Me with myself

Me with the women-folk

Me with the men-folk

Overall a peaceful Diwali!!

When the going gets tough, the tough get going

That's what they taught my dad when he was doing his commando training in the army!

This seems to be a time like that. The sensex is going down 1000 points a day, companies are crumbling like a pack of cards...

What do you do in such a situation? Here is a 5 pronged approach to survive:

1. Take stock of the situation



2. Look at the problem straight in the eye, and make it wilt!


3. Do your research while your competitors are sleeping


4. Assess the damage


5. Be stoic, be positive, and get on with life!!

Nursery rhymes

After the thunderous applause received by the viewers for 'Johny Johny Yes Papa' , I am encouraged to upload another masterpiece (in fact its a mixture of 2 rhymes !!)

The first is a remix version of 'Jingle bells' which goes like 'Jingle bells jingle bells alllllaleeyyyy'

The second is a hindi remix of 'machli jal ki rani hain'. You need to really be quick in order to understand what happens to the fish once its taken out of water!! However, if you find it difficult to comprehend the same after repeated views, you can reach me...

Yellow shoes & Orange ball

That's all I need to be happy... Yellow shoes, orange ball, and a nice warm day at CCD. Lots of space, indulgent adults... what more can you ask for on a hot summery morning!

My new yellow shoes. I wear them everywhere

My orange ball, which matches my yellow shoes

Some fresh sandwich in my mouth &...

I am ready to go!!

Take that!
