Hi Guys I'm finally into blogging again....weekend being gorgeous, bright and sunny, was tempted enough to be outdoor.

Just an update for all those who wants to know as to how's Risha doing..she doing Great! She's brave like I always say and I'm not bragging at all and she took it all with a SMILE!

So back to what I was saying ...On Tuesday i.e March 11th my favorite uncle and aunt visited us. My last blog does mention of this place Stratford, yes they are the ones who belong to this place and we make it a point to visit them on most long weekends...makes us relax and away from daily routine....to top it all who wouldn't love to chit chat with such amazing couple who make you feel at home...Though the world is a mixture of good and bad but its a rare sight to see such wonderful people ( my uncle and aunt ). Someone with whom you can be yourself and don't have to put on a plastic smile. Finding people in your own relations is kinda difficult..having age gap of good 35 years yet they make me at ease instantly...the moment we meet them we immediately get connected....they are someone who has no hang ups in life....no formalities whatsoever...complete straightforward people....I think next to my best friend if I could discuss something it would be them....conversations could go on ....they are full of qualities...My hats off to them for being who they are and how they are! ...and where they are ...the place they belong to... beautifies them even more....lush green landscapes, Shakespearean gardens, heritage buildings, downtown and the eating joints with patio beautifully decorated with impatience flowers all these and many more make it even more enchanting....Gives me calmness of mind, evenness of temper, undisturbed state, coolness and composure....

Stratford is a city located on Avon River in Southwestern Ontario. Its small town image is indeed worth seeing. Swan is the symbol of the city. From what I've heard is that the city was named after Stratford of England, Shakespearean fame...Mainly retired people reside in this city...not that young couples don't live here....to add to it the quality of life is better compared to big cities....Considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Canada...a must see Gateway...Stratford has the magic to make it memorable....

On that note folks "Prepare to be enchanted"!

Blessed!

Didn't really hibernate but as an Aquarian sometimes do hide the considerable depths of one's character under a cloak frivolity. Jokes apart! today I really feel blessed for having "Sanaya" ( my little one) in my life. As Mark Twain quoted "A baby is inestimable blessing and bother". Truly ever since she was born she's always been quite and no trouble at all. If she cried at all then it was an indication that she wanted to be fed or diaper needs to be changed. Still remember when she was only seven days old we took her to African Lion Safari and she was not troubled at all...just diaper change, nurse her and she was good to go...Many of you might say that this is the time when babies sleeps most of the time so its nothing unusual ....but believe me like "every pregnancy is different, same way every babies are different". Even though her sleeping pattern changed after a month yet she wouldn't trouble me and I could leave her in the crib and do my work...I can only think of one night when she cried of stomach pain ( colic) and that's it....she began to enjoy the company of her elder sister and so was the elder one....We traveled to Stratford which is 120 kms from my place, takes exactly one and a half hours of travel time yet no signs of discomfort.....We spend hours in Malls and she's very comfortable....Even on the day of my elder daughter's surgery we left early and spent the whole day there and she was very co-operative, no cry absolutely and I had no choice anyways where I could keep her....to add to it when my husband was traveling back home...I was worried thinking "if she cries on highway" but heard she slept while traveling back and while coming back to the hospital next day.....couldn't have asked for more....As rightly quoted by an unknown author "When they placed you in my arm, you slipped into my heart" Truly Sanaya!

On that note I want to Thank God and Thanks mom for helping me in my most difficult times!
