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.
