Here I am ...

..on a Wednesday afternoon tending to a tag by noon, Dipali and boo. I am excited... for several reasons. For starters, its my first tag. I am glad to be making friends, forming a small little community of pals in similar situations, sharing everything from bad days to good ones, joys, concerns, ideas, 'no hope' situations, getting different perspectives. Its been a fun journey. For another, I like the idea of getting to know each one better by having all the good links in one particular post - their love, their family, their likings. I think its a great idea. So here I go with mine. I have a feeling that I wouldn't be able to dig out posts pertaining to each one of them, one, because, its not been very long since I started and two, because I mostly tend to write about the kids. Anyway, let me try!

Rules For The Tag

Post 5 links to 5 of your previously written posts. The posts have to relate to the 5key words given : family, friend, yourself, your love, anything you like. Tag 5 other friends to do this meme. Try to tag at least 2 new acquaintances (if not, your current blog buddies will do) so that you get to know them each a little bit better.

Family - Happy times and sad. Sometimes we feel silly or just plain mad. We have had our share of ups and downs and I wrote about them here and here. A picture of the extended family now is here. Family is just not complete without a tribute to mom and dad.

Friend - Well I have not written about any of mine. But for sure about one of Vansh's bum chum Arnav.

Yourself - Well haven't done too much of writing about myself but some snippets from the childhood I had and the values I value can be found here. I also did a post about the ups and downs of motherhood here.

Love - He he he! Bhartiya nari - unke baare mein publicly baat karne mein laaj aati hai ;) Little ways of showing appreciation are here and a post on how we are figuring out life after 2 kids is here. After all, going through life together with these ordinary everyday things, good and bad, the smiles and the frowns, isn't that what love is all about.
I would like to add these beautiful words from the anniversary card Ashwini gave me a few days back.

Someday, Many years from now,
We'll look back on this crazy time
in our life together
And wonder how we did it all ...
And then, those ordinary everyday moments
That we often take for granted
will shimmer like stars
as we recount them...
I'll sit close beside you,
take my hand in yours.
We'll look at each other and say:
"I'd do it all again...
And I wouldn't change a thing."

There's no one I'd rather go through life with than YOU.

Anything I like - Yay!! Finally! Food figures somewhere ..I am a hopeless foodie!! Pregnancy was just an excuse for cravings that go on and on during the normal course of life for me. Unfortunately, here in the US, that translates to cooking what you feel like eating yourself. But I did a complete post on Delhi street food and how I miss it here.

Also, one of my favorites are the kids' photo posts where, as the name suggests, the pics do the talking rather than the words. A few of my absolute favorites are this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. Sorry for posting so many, but I thought, since its just pictures, it would take may be 10 seconds to see each one :)

Well friends, enjoy!!

And I tag

Deepali - She doesn't write much, but she's my first blogging buddy ever. Thanks to her, I knew someone out there was reading about my everyday adventures. So Deeplai, here's reason for you to get back to the blog :) No excuses !!
