Rainbows & South pole- Phone Conversations today.

1st conversation
Ansh- Mumma, आज मैं Papa के office में ही रहूँगा. रात को भी घर नही आऊँगा .

A shocked Mumma-Why Beta?
Ansh-क्योंकि मैंने अपने पैर में बहुत सारी glue लगा ली है और मैं चिपक गया हूँ.
Mumma- Papa कहाँ हैं?
Ansh- वोह यहाँ नही हैं। यहाँ पर सिफ़्र Probir Uncle हैं .
(Mumma goes ahead & requests the uncle to sort out the issue)

2nd conversation
Ansh- Mumma, मुझे अभी balcony से Rainbow दिखा.
Mumma- मैं भी देखूँगी.
(Mumma disconnects & rushes out of office, outside the building gates but cannot see the rainbow)
Comes back & calls sonny boy.
Mumma- मुझे rainbow नही दिखा
Ansh- तब तोः आपको कल छुट्टी लेनी पड़ेगी और घर पर रहना पड़ेगा.
(Smart Boy!!!)

3rd conversation
Ansh- Mumma, क्या हम Puja vacations में South Pole जा सकते हैं?
Mumma- नही , वो बहुत दूर है. हम Bhutan से काम चला लेंगे.
Ansh- कितनि दूर है? क्या हम plane से जा सकते हैं?
Mumma- नही, वहां सिर्फ़ ships जा सकती हैं.
Ansh- मुझे जाना है, वहां Penguins देखेंगे
Mumma- जब आप बड़े होगे तब चलेंगे.
(Gotta start saving now)

Ansh funny.

Phone conversation with Ansh a while ago.

Ansh: वोह जो दादी हैं न, जो हमारे घर में 3rd floor पर रहती हैं, उन्होंने मुझे ज़बरदस्ती खाना खिलाया.

Mummy: आपने ख़ुद क्यों नही खाया?खाना नही खाओगे तोः बीमार पड़ जाओगे.

Ansh; बीमार तोः मैं अब हूँ. इतना खाना खिलाया की मेरा पेट दर्द हो गया।

Yay!

Yay!! We kissed & made up yesterday.

I sat him down & made sure he listened. I listened too. At the end of it all, I had a man laughing like a 5 year old at the predictability of it all. He exactly knows what my next move would be when I am in a re-conciliatory mood.........lol.

Ansh funny!

So, we were chatting up yesterday about "Panties". Nothing interesting. Just that there should be some way to take trial before u buy one that just rolls down your belly. Yes, I was getting frustrated & angry.All this while Ansh was playing on his own when suddenly he asks me

Mumma, Panties से तो बाल बहुत shiny हो जाते हैं न?

And I laughed for a whole hour

Karwachauth in pictures

Chand nikal aaya

With my 3 mother in laws. Right is Mil & the other 2 are Abhi's Chachis(aunts)

From the looks of it, it seems that he was fasting instead of me .
I was lucky that Karwachauth fell on the day following my birthday. On that lucky note, I had a good day. The fast was not so tough since this time around I decided to make life easier for myself & agreed to drink a glass of juice in the morning on MIL's insistence. I also drank a couple of glasses of water during the day.
Though in my husband's house there is no culture of "Sargi", the morning meal that women take before the sun rise on Karwachauth, but my MIL follows the Sargi culture with me knowing that it is part of the Punjabi culture. So she made Gobi ka Paratha for me at 4 in the morning. Isn't that sweet of her? I returned home early & we did the Puja in the evening & the Chand was super nice to come out really early at 7:15. MIL also bought me a Challni to see the chand from. This is again a custom which is not followed in hubby's house.
So it was a nice festive day for us. Though I am not superstitious & do not particularly believe that this fast would enhance the life of husbands & all, but I love the festivities & find it really romantic.

My conversation with hubby at lunch time:
Me: Hi, How r u?
Hubby: I am fine.
Me: Won't u ask me how am I?
Hubby: oh sure, so how r u?
Me: OK, feeling hungry.
Hubby: Then order a pizza. No one will know. I do not believe in these fasts.
Me: Hey, I am just asking for sympathy, not food. So give me some.
Hubby: Oh, OK. Aww...poor girl. It's so sweet of u to keep this fast for me. I am sorry that u cannot eat today. I feel so bad!! Happy?
Me: Thanks :). Come home before the chand, OK?
Hubby: OK. Bye.

Ansh Funny

Our yesterday's conversation:

Ansh:Mumma , Main abhi pasta khaonga

Me:Ok, Kal ka half packet pada hai. Abhi bana deti hoon.

Ansh: Nahi, mujhe doosra colour khana hai.

Me:Kyon?

Ansh: Main "crank toys" ke liye nahi khata. Mujhe aaj doosra colour khane ka mann hai.

Me:Acha.

Ansh: Aur kal main third colour khaaonga kyonki mere mann roj change hota hai. Aur main "crank toiys" ke liye nahi khata.

(Sunfeast pasta comes in different flavours signified by different coloured packaging)

I was bursting with laughter inside. It was so cute the way he made the point about "crank toys" twice in the conversation.

Here's a picture of Ansh trying to scare mommy with his crank toy (a false set of scary teeth) after he had the pasta.

Scary, isn't he???

Funny- papa & beta

Look, what the two were upto last night at bedtime!!

Ansh funny

Yes, it's again to do with movies.
Yesterday, being a Friday night , we have relaxed sleep times & let Ansh decide when he wants to go to bed. So usually, he ends up watching a Tom & Jerry or some other CD & goes off to sleep while watching it.
While deciding the CD to watch, he chanced upon a Hindi movie CD which had 4 movies including "Bombay to Bangkok". So as usual he pointed out to each movie & asked me tell him the name of the movie.

Ansh: Mumma, yeh konsi movie hai?
Me: "Bombay to Bangkok."
Ansh: (quietly thinking something)
Me: (trying to be helpful): Beta, remember Mumma kabhi kabhi Bangkok jaati hai. (we usually have some conference or the other in Thailand)
Ansh:(finally) Mumma, wahan par bahut saari hens hoti hain kya?
Me: Nahi toh. Kyon beta?

(It took a few minutes of thinking for me to realise what Ansh meant.You see-Bangkok-Bang "cock". So if cocks are there, there would be hens too !! Of course. Silly me.......lol.)

Movie Overdose !

Scene: Mommy & Ansh watching "Shin Chan" cartoon where Shin Chan & his father are sitting in a pool on a hot day.

Shin Chan's papa- Wah, Yeh to Jannat hai (This feels like heaven)
Shin Chan: Haan, Papa, yes to Jannat hai (Yes, Papa, this is heaven)
Shin Chan's Papa : Beta, aapko pata bhi hai ki Jannat kya hoti hai (Son, do you even know what Jannat(Heaven) is?)
Shin Chan: Haan, jahan bahut saari apsarayen hoti hain (Yes, where there are a lot of angels)

Ansh (laughing): Mumma, Shin Chan to jhooth bol raha hai. Usko pata hi nahi hai ki "Jannat" toh ek movie hai. (Shin Chan is lying, "Jannat" is a movie)

Ansh Funny!

Day: Sunday

Scene: Mommy & Ansh alone at home. Both painting a picture together.Mummy humming a Hindi movie song

Ansh: Mujhe pata hai app kiske liye gaa rahe ho (I know for whom you are singing)

Mummy: Kiske liye ( for whom?)

Ansh: Papa ke Liye (For papa)

Mummy:Kyon, mummy aapke liye nahi gaa sakti kya? (Why? Can't mummy sing for u)

Ansh: Nahi, aapki mere se shaadi thori na hui hai. (No, you are not married to me)

Mummy: Agar main "Chanda Mama Door ke" gaaon toh? (What if I sing the "moon" song?(a popular children's song))

Ansh: (confused) Haan, tab toh aap mere liye gaaoge. (Yes, then it would be for me)

Mummy relieved & starts humming children's numbers.

First Card Game

Yesterday, after my office, we went to visit Amit & Rashmi, just across the street.There Ansh got his first taste of a game of cards & wanted to play. He learnt about the Hearts, Diamonds, Spades & Clubs. So the game went like this- cards were divided into 2 heaps, Ansh would throw one card-say 2 of spades, & papa / mummy had to throw any card of spades on top of it.... & this continued till someone exhausted their cards & of course Ansh always was the winner.......lol. It was so cute!Though I must confess that towards the end of it we got a little bored coz Ansh would not let go & wanted to go on playing.

Aspirations

Our Conversation last night:

Ansh: Mumma main bade hookar cobbler ban sakta hoon?

Mumma: haan, kuch bhi ban sakte ho

Ansh: To kya main fireman, painter aur carpenter bhi ban sakta hoon.

Mumma: Haan aur doctor bhi ban sakte ho

Ansh: Nahin, agar main doctor ban gaya , to aap mere se darroge.Lekin main aapki tarah officer to ban sakta hoon

Mumma: Haan

Ansh: To phir main aapke BOSS bhi ban sakta hoon?

Mumma: Haan.

Ansh: Tab main aapko "Monika" bolonga.

Mumma: Yes baby. (& Ansh gets a big hug!!)

funny

Here's a small funny incident from today-
Today at 12.30 Ansh walks in MD' s office while I was having a conversation with MD & tells me " Mumma, mujhe school nahin jana". So I take him out of MD's office & ask him " Kyon Nahi jaana?". Ansh" Kyunki mere ungli mein chot lagi hai". So my son searches for the bruise & shows me a little old bruise on one of his fingers. Carolyn(the admin lady in office) was around, so I asked her for a band-aid which was missing in office as usual. So I applied some moisturiser on his finger. Caro gave him a candy stick, I gave him some sweets & other small little stuff from my purse & off he went to school happily.

Ansh funny

Yesterday Ansh saw my stretch marks and asked me "What do u have these mommy?". I told him "I have them coz u were in my tummy". Ansh: "Why did i have to come from your tummy, I cud have come from outside also,could'nt I?".

Today Navin & Mahima came over for dinner!
