Very busy two weeks - that is why no blogging!! small Baby Shower happened (Gode bharai) with a 'pooja'...got no gifts except a new salwaar kurta (shapeless), some rice and dal and a coconut in my lap! I guess, like me nobody wants to over-do anything (after so many complications) till the baby is born ...so I had not sent out any invites to friends...
AND... I also got a trailer of 'how to bring up your child without losing your patience' as my sister happily left her 2 year old daughter with me for 3 days!! so that is why no blogging!! 3 days with a child have left me panting for breath!! (some of you must be smiling and mumbling 'picture abhi baaki hai mere dost')...I am sure those of you with smiles on their faces are the ones with children (some time back, some of you had told me-'blog away-you won't get any time afterwards..'). And I had bragged how I will prove you all wrong by writing even after the baby is born...Well- I take my words back....hats off to all you parents...THIS IA A F*#$@ing FULL TIME JOB!!
But, will be back soon with a new chapter...till that time...something to ponder upon...
Do babies/ children want rich parents? I don't think babies really need rich parents...because I have seen children happiest when playing with an empty cardboard box or tearing a piece of newspaper....What riches are needed for these items?? I know, I know what some of you want to say....but I will not think about school admissions right now even if you pay me a million dollars!!
Mull on this pic posted by a friend on Facebook:
I hope these are not my baby's wishes - futile prayers - not happening (unless one of you is ready to pay me a million bucks to think about school admissions...then I'll be super-rich!!) (on second thoughts- make it a billion dollars - being preggie, I like big round figures!).
Well, the baby's prayers are not completely futile...(I have an idea) - These are my responses to the baby:
Dear Baby....You will make us 'rich' by being born to us (enriching our lives and all that)...We'll need 'super' powers to bring you up - does that suffice as 'super- rich'??
Dear Baby....We'll try to be 'Super' parents... and when you grow up- you can take care of the 'Rich' part!!
I like the second one more...what say people?
