Now we are back home in LA, its very cold these days esecially wid all the rain. am tryin hard to get ur weight back up n on tract before ur next scheduled visit to ur doc when u turn 2, next month. ur height is still above 95 %ile. u play wid ur cars n other toys, love to read books.all day u keep pointing at animals n i keep tellin u their names over n over, then come evening n ur papa gets back, then u ll point at a horse n go 'cow' or call a monkey 'chidiya'.. its so frustratin:)
i keep our home spotless n im hopin uve got these genes coz at this point u pick upa small thread off the floor ndump it in the bin or hand it over to ur papa or me. as its cold, u like to keep the shutter shut at all times, luv watchin curious george, sesame street n barney on tv n ofcourse songs were always ur fav but not all..uve got preferances ..u dnt like songs of tashan n few others, everytime they d play, ull insist on fwd'ing them fast. uve got an opinion on everything from clothes to colours n pages in books to when to go out of the house n the games to b played n sleep times.
next week v ll shift to a bigger apartment, v ll celebrate christmas n new yrs in tht place. ur papa is busy wid work n applying for UCLA n USC these days. there deadline in jan 2, not much time left.
tht reminds me got to go get the dinner ready.

ruhaan goin to be 2 yrs old!

our sweetypie is turning into a dashin stud. ur a very boyish boy darling. when v were at nana nani's in delhi, u loved to try out my tee's or shoes or drag nani's dupatta as ur tail, her lipstick n nailpolish intrigued u to the hilt. ud get so upset if it were taken away from u. nana used to give u a ride in the car everyday before he left for office n then again after he got back n ud b playin in the park wid nani n me, ull insist on bein taken out by him.
a special mention here of vimla, the house maid- she adored u. if i may say, more than her own kids. i so wished v cud ve brought her back here wid us:) one day u picked up on the word 'bhaiya'- u enjoyed it so much kept practisin usin it on nana, me even ur papa when v spoke to him on phone n in ur sleep.
nani used to take u out for walks 4 times a day! honey, u really were a handful but nani was really hands on. everytime ud throw a fit, believe me it was almost all the time, she ll stroll u around, offer u ur fav treats, take u out in lifts under an umbrella on hot sunny afternoons.she got u stickers n story books n planes n cars. lil did v know then, jus a month down the line...cars will become ur new best friends!
thenv went to bbay, i used to play lots of music for u to dance on..infact if some days i didnt, ud hand me over the remote. u liked gazin out in the sky at crows n pigeons.
in the evenings ur dada will come hom n he loved wrestlin wid u. it was wonderful to see u laugh like tht.
u ve got this mesmerising voice n giggle (ofcourse its boyish n im told its gone on me:) it fills up the room n makes everyone smile.
u loved playin wid buckets n mugs, a trend started in delhi whr u had ur own set n followed thru in mumbai. everything seemd ok, till one fine day, ur appetite dropped flatout.
u lost immense amount of weight n this was during mishoo's wedding.
i thought ur missing ur papa too much as it had been a month plus since v saw him. i used to show u his pictures on the comp, n ud give kissies to him on the screen.
ur dada used to get balloons for u to play wid. u know another person u loved to hang out wid, ramasis, the driver. u mvr hesitated to get in his lap.
Then papa reached n didnt leave sight of him n vice versa. then camethe wedding, the baraat started n everyone was frolickin bout n u were sitting on the horse wid mishoo, quietly observin the action, then as v reached our destination u got down n started ur dance wid ur sehra on n ur sherwani neatly in place..everyone jus gathered around u, cheerin u on n in utter amazement n pride...ur grandparents, great grandparents, both of us, n all other relatives..ve to see its video, which also does'nt quite do justice to the scene.
everyone was blown away by ur confidence n movement at 1 1/2 yrs!!
ur no ordinary kid, a belief tht was shared by ur papa n me, got reiterated.

ruhaan singh and more of his distinct acts

he does not like when i take off the shirt during my lunch visit to hime

he makes bombay papa takes off the kurta...

pinching cheeks of bombay mumma

bhool bhulaiya song and twisting fingers

how he likes everybody to be togeter. he holds finger and bring everybody in one room. when he sleeps, he wants me and ritchi to be in the same room.

he walks like a leader but makes use of you when he has to..

ruhaan singh and prayers

prayer in front of the tv, how he made everybody stand up and pray...any idol, religious tv serial triggers him to pray

ruhaan singh in market with mishoo and cheema - nov 5 th

fasination for toys, fight for pen at the sweet store, stepping on top of man hole, mishoo sweating in front of the toy shop, torment in the garment store (fish toy on the roof), buying a ball for keku which i ended up playing, keku's ride in rick..

ruhaan singh in india

Our little ruhaan went for his second trip to Inida on sept 14th. he went along with Ritchi and that meant I was alone here to spend another Diwali in USA without my loving family. This happened last year as well. This time my flight to india was on nov 2nd and so I was without ritchi and keki for litle over a month. This trip to india was most special because my bro Mishoo was getting married to lovely Neha. Time has really flown by.

I kept hearing about Ruhaan's deeds in india. He is very fond of pens right from the time when he was 4 months old. Ritchi kept sharing pictures from india and i noted keku holding pen in most of the pictures. kekuwas having a blast in india - be it interacting with the kids, playing in the park, relishing indian dishes, traveling indian roads and meeting different people...

I reached mumbai on nov 4th and ritchi, mishoo, keku and papa came to pick me up. I covered my face with my sweater and tried to see if keku recognizes my voice. am not sure if he did but when he saw my face he jumped to my lap and was happy. When we reached home if was 3 in the morning. keku remembered the "merry go round" game we use to play back in india. he still remembered it after 2 months of the gap. he did not waste a minute when we reached home and he made me run around and played. i was very hungry but keku did not let me sit for a second. i was astonished with his energy and enthusiam.

I learnt abou keku's new fasicnation. Bathing Mug, bucketand pens. He will grab all the pens in house, put them in the bucket along with the mug and drag it around the house. infact wehn keku came to bombay, he got to his act right a way. he dragged the bucket out of bathroom along with the mug and dragged it on top of papa-mumma's bed. papa entered the room and was astonished. Ritchi was telling that he had a confused expression and he was trying to figure why keku will do what he did - sitting in middle of the bed with bathroom bucket and mug filled with all the pens :)... i noted when ever keku gets a chance he will get into the bathroom and get his stuff.

keku is very friendly with the people. he say "hi" and "bye". but how can keku do something which is ordinary. he refers to 'bye' as 'tai'. this word he got on his own. he probably observed us saying "Tata" and "Bye"..he combined both:) .... so now when he see a good looking girl he says "hi" or else he say "tai"...he also got the word "bhaiya" ... he got this word in delhi where delhi-ma use to refer to servent by this word. So now whenever kekuji see any person with similar dress and looks, he referes to him as Bhaiya. A korean person was tagged as bhaiya by keku and he must have no idea what in the world he did to deserve this title :) ...

keku got this habbit of slapping others. when he is upset with somebody, he will call the person, extend his arms so he can be held up and when he is in close range with th person;s face he will stick a tight slap. next moment as if the job is done, he will push and try to get down. i was the only one who was spared from this ordeal, until one day when i did not oblige to hand him a bucket and mug he requested to me.

Ruhaan singh did so many unique things duing india trip and there are so many incidents...I will be putting these in seperate blogs

rooni turns 18 months

hi rooni still cant believe u ll b 18 months old in 2 days. sweetu u seem to b in such hurry to grow up. daddy n mommy dnt want u too.. reminiscising, u know when u were born ur nana,nani were wid us. u share ur bday wid nani. she was in the delivery room wid daddy n mommy jus as u entered this world screamin n kicking:) u had a frown on ur face n were so mad at us to bring u out of ur cosy lil hideout..infact u were so angry tht the frown made ur eyebrow turn white. ur papa was so concerned about the lil sunlight tht was fallin on ur face, even though it was 0716 am on a january! tht he kept doin this n tht to make sure ur fine. mommy at tht very instant was soo exhausted, u know u were one tough lil cookie to please n v ve an inklin this trait is nvr goin to lose its place in ur personality... u know then jus as soon as mommy held u her arms, it ran a shiver down her spine..it was like magic seein n holdin u..u are a part of daddy n me.ur our lil bundle. ur papa didnt let u out of his sight when they took ur for shots n ear test etc. he had lil beads of tear drops in his eyes as he held u. in those moments tht u two bonded, it felt like he s tellin u tht i ll take care of u, dnt worry bout a thing. u jus make mommy feed u well n then take lots of rest.
ur nani too had tears in her eyes as she held u, nana as soon as he entered the room, grabbed u n soon ur papa n nana started in inform ur dada, dadi of ur arrival. everyone was so ecstatic. it was as though the whole family felt so complete n in such bliss jus wid ur arrival.
couple of days back, we took u over to meet Diane Hernandez, the midwife who delivered u. she was so happy to see u so tall n handsome. comin monday, u ll b gettin ur 18 month shots.
since, last wk u n i ve started goin to mommy n me. its been a lot of fun.. ur such a attention grabber n keep tryin to earn praises thru ur 'dance', laugh. the only complaint tht v ve is, u dnt like to point at objects when v scan thru a book.
rite now, ur takin ur afternoon nap n mommy has the chance to sit by the comp. of late, u love to sit on youtube n watch the lion king, jungle book videos n dance along.
love u darling.

while the cat is away the mice ve fun

so its roughly been about a week since khikhi has been gone to mumbai n keki n i ve been managin here..its surprisingly been a beautiful week. keki sensed n missed khikhi initially quite a bit..ran towards the door at the remotest of sound, kept lookin towards the door...slowly he adapted. initially it was quite difficult as he was excessively cranky and clingy, so i used to take him out on long walks to the mall, library and park, tried to maintain a fixed schedule for meals, sleep and play. i can see its paid dividends as keku has fallen in a pattern. now vr able tofind more time to sit and play together, read books, listen to music, draw and dance together. keki is one fast learner. he imitates the brushin technique:) he has his own brush but wants to use the adult brush. he puts his blocks back in the cart and not jus leaves scattered around all over the room, infact he hunts them down from below the sofa or table n places them correctly. he knows how i wear my hairband n likes to do the same. this lil copycat even knows how i drape the stole around my neck n tries to imitate (snaps r proof:) really this is such wonderful time.
he knows when v get mad at him for being naughty n immediately comes for a hug..its such a wonderful feeling..u can feel urself jus melt away.
keki v'll always hug n make up..remember this even when ur a teenager..
v 3 r a team n together vr the strongest. luv u my lil cutie pie.

khikhi goes to india

so today khikhi has left for mumbai as bbay ma has been keepin ill. he ll b gone for long ..10 days!! keepin my fingers crossed, hoping these days arent as miserable as im expectin them to be for both keku s and my sake and more importantly hopin tht ma feels gud n fit wid her boys around n lots of activity. actually papa too must ve been thru utter misery wid all the travellin, office work, dadi's operation followed by mami's decline in health n hospitalisation.
earlier this week, khikhi and papa bought a huge piece of land in kharghar (on the outskirts of mumbai)..within 2 days of the deal bein finalised, the land rate doubled! it was such gud omen.. now thr is news of an airport bein built, which will further boost the value.. so not alls bad.
comin back to khikhi, ive been feelin sick in my stomack these past few days, espcially as his departure date grew closer. didnt imagine after a month of seperation just a few months ago, ll ve to endure another one, even if its for 10 days.
keku: he has been behavin really well of late. he jus loves music, jus a mere sound from tv, radio or even his toys, he jus likes to get up n start groovin:)
he s becomin quite independent as well...wants to eat on his own, open the lids of his bowl, open the slidin shutter, climb stairs, walk widout holdin hands.
yest, we went to applebee's...thr was this lil mexican girl sittin beside him n this lil flirt, held her hand, even as her parents and we both looked on!
same day, i took keku out for an eve walk n thr this cute girl was all dressed and being led by her mum to some party...n this lil devil starts to follow her all the way to the stairs leadin to the parking lot. i had to drag him back. he s such a crowd pleaser, whenever v take him out, he manages to get attention from people sitting nearby by smilin at them or playin peakaboo, they like to entertain keku too... while khikhi n i jus look on wid a big smile in our hearts:)
sometimes keku covers up wid face out of embarrasment, when others seem to smother him wid attention. he looks so cute doin tht.
khikhi, ve a wonderful trip n come back soon soon... luv u.

back from florida

hi. so v got back from florida. it cud ve been a whole lot more fun had our darling keku not fallen ill. it started wid a cold, the flight to orlando was so tough. khikhi n i took turns to walk the aisle n try to put him to sleep, all in vain. my baby, his ear hurt, had blocked nose, cud nt sleep, was'nt very comfy in the plane. needless, to say, none of us were!
so v got thr, khikhi did a remarkable job in selectin the resort condo. it was lovely. it had a soakin bathtub n khikhi managed to lure keki into it. i did do some prep work by makin keku play in the tub to get him acquainted in it.
so once in the tub, he enjoyed every bit of it n refused to b pulled out. he hated me for havin got him out the lovely warm water n into clothes. honey, im sorry but u were'nt keepin well.
so both father n son had some fab time playin in the tub n realised wht a water baby v ve in our hands:)
we went by a tampa beach.. it was beautiful...white soft sandy beach, outlined wid palm trees in the background, clear blue day and clear pristine water. By then, mishoo had joined us as well. v all played wid the frisby, went in the water splish spashin around, tried to make sand castles, fed a bit to the birds.
evening, we ate this most amazing roma pizza from an italian joint..it had feta cheese and olive oil drizzled on top..the base of it was made in front of us.
our trip overall was relaxin n every bit of it v needed. we sat out in the covered porch, enjoyed a meal or some evenin cup of coffee. our condo was overlookin the forest, so every day we heard these wonderful sound of chirpin birds gettin started wid their daily grind n busy in action.
trip back was much better than anticipated. had a halt in dallas...this coz we were late by 5 mins for checkin in our direct flight to LA and hence, the checkin in staff put in a dallas board flight. it turned out to b a blessin in disguise coz keku didnt put us thru hell this time. thr were kids everywhr n so when he did scream his lungs out like he usually likes to:) v were'nt gettin as many dirty looks from everywhr.
keku u ve the most wonderful n infectious laugh. u ve the perfect balance of being naughty n caring. both papa n i cant stop thankin God for givin us keku. ur so unique. u scream at the drop of a hat n giggle in ur sleep. sometimes u ve a voracious appetite and u eat up from our share as well at others when ur not eating well, it can keep me awake at nite.
now, khikhi has got busy wid his prep for GMAT..his exam date is 24 june. he has it in him. iknow he can get in a college he wants to. so my job is to give him a perfect condusive environment, make sure his tumy is full n keku is happy as well.
im learnin new recipes on foodnetwork.com. today ll go to the grocery store n pick out some ingredients n experiment. quite lookin fwd to tht.

all about keki

keki my lil doll. day in and out ur learning so much, growin up so fast. its so unimaginable that just a few months back you used to lie around and we were eagerly awaiting you to flip over from tummy to back and vice versa, then came the crawling..soon followed the walking...now u run! uve picked up on 'o shee'- oh shit!! so well. we should ve nvr taught u this, but u sound so cute. honey, we're so blessed to ve u in our lives. God, has been too kind and we can nvr thank him enough for it.
honey we love you and are very proud of you. each and every action of urs is so unique. ur so exuberant and naughty. you love to laugh and we love making you laugh. u also are very fond of crying and believe it or not, we do like to trouble you every once a while just to see your amazing responses and contorted features.
keki darling, ur one fast learner and really independent. u figured how to use the remote at quite an early stage, can shut and open doors, tv and other switches can be switched on n off. u keep an eye on everything and everyone in the house. always eager to learn. at the same time, ur also a very obedient kid. when ur stopped from doin something u want to do, u repeatedly take permission till you are vehemently stopped!
u love jumping from sofa, getting off and climbing back on bed, going out for walks, climbing stairs.
so u see, u keep busy andkeep us busy running behind u and protecting u, lest u get hurt from anything.

When you know its Keku - Part 2

  • My little keku does not like to be sqeezed in and get short of the space he needs. did you get it. i gues no. let me explain, his sweet mom told me that she feels claustrophobic very easily and I think keku has got similar traits from her. You try to hug him tight, hold him close or lie very close to him - he try to shove you away :) and starts crying immediately. This cute action can not be described in word. Have to record this sometime
  • Keku can cry any moment and laugh the next moment. Right fromt he day one he is very very expressive. Honestly I like made him misrable sometimes to get a glimpse of that face he makes while crying. Until 6 months, when he use to cry - he shuts his eyes tight and his forhead turn white...why I am telling you this... coz I want to make you ask this question so that I feel how unique of an experience it is to watch this little wonder then to try putting his deeds to words.
  • tell you more - i can't stop laughing when i remember then time keku use to scratch his arms on my face. I use to wonder why he doea it. And to make it more fuzzy he does not do this to Ritchu. As soon as I lie down next to him or hold him too close, his immediate action was to start rubbing his arms on my beard...oh 'beard' ...yes - and then i figured out he use to be itchy in hands and using my cheek as a sandopaper!! what an opportunist he is!! and this smart fella - not to guess why he does not do the same thing to ritchi..
  • he like when me and ritchu talks with each other and he is sitting cozily next to us. And then the moment we stop the sweet talk he will come to action and takes all the attention. At night when all lights are off, he likes to move around on our bed and throw his head around on our tummy..and then keep lying thier with a content face looking at us, kind of saying that - i feel so secure and cozy...both ritchi and I love this act
  • Keku has grown very fast and so many of his habbits and traits comes and go. Very unique, entertaining, amazing, cute, thrilling and sometime irritating..irritating -for example he likes to be in your hand sometime and does not like you to sit :) ..he wants you to hold him high and take him around..hehe ..
  • Keku started walking slowly and surely on 11th of december - the day his nana-nani came to his dada-dadi's place. We all were there and he was walking. its like - he was waiting for every important being to be present to grace us with his "walk of fame" :)
  • keku's dada played a major role in making keku walk so early. He use to come back tired from office everyday and make keku practice walking all over the place. he came up with the idea of tieing a leash and make him walk. Keku did oblige and started walkign when we were in bombay.
  • by the time we came back to US on 16th December, keku really started walking
  • Now is feb 25th and the state is: keku rarly crawls! ..he just walks and walks and walks.

When you know its Keku

I saw him coming to this world from head to toe. I saw him open his eyes and trying to see this new wrold. I saw him crying for the first time and trying to get the fist gust of air in his little lungs. I saw him moving his hands and leges announceing of his arrival. Never ever in my life I felt so emotional, nervous, happy and excited at the same time. This is when I knew, he's Keku. That was Jan 20th, 2007

He was towelled, wrapped and kept in the wooden temperature controlled basinet. I looked at him with tears in eyes only to realizing how blessed me and Ritchu are. I felt like a complete family. I looked at Ritchu who was sitting there tired and felt like hugging her. She took care of her and this keku for 9 months and made sure she delivers her best when it matters ..hehe.. Thats my sweetheart for you. She is the best wife and mother at the same time...

coming back to Keku..Yes..

Keku was lying after birth in basinet and I was concerned about the blind which was moving and letting sun take a peek at this wonder boy. I was concerned and didn;t let it happen.

Few weeks old, eyes tighty shuts when he cries, you touch his lips and he comes at you smiling..thats Keku

Until 5 months, when he use to cri, his forehead use to become white

He use to take yawn and make full arch.
