Our First House

Subject: We will miss you.

Dear House,

You were a good home. This is the biggest compliment one could pay to a house, and you earned it.

You were a dream house for sure, it was love at first sight. Once we saw you, passion won over reason and we knew you were the one. All our careful planning (financial and otherwise) went out of one of your many doors or one of your sunlit windows, we do not know which – we had to have you. I still cannot decide what is your best feature – the open kitchen which became the heart of our family or all the sunlight you let in or the basement which promises to be a sanctuary or the master bedroom which befits a commander (even though we have none and Diya threatens to take over the post) or the lush backyard which we tried to turn into a heaven bit-by-bit – we cherished every square foot.

Of course, we were young and naïve and did not know that a house’s destiny is to become a home. I hope we fared well in earning you that status.  Our pride and joy – Diya and Aadi (respectively) were born here;  Maple and Mishti joined us, so did the rest of our family and many friends. We decorated you with flowers (and occasional vegetables), never mind that we could never really furnish you completely, but we tried our best to keep you healthy and sound.

More than anything else, I hope you realize that we made our best memories here – visits from our families, our friends, the fun in the backyard, the parties, the barbeques  and more than anything else – the smell of coming “home” to you after we were gone for any length of time - that’s when we knew that you were the one and you earned it.

We wish you good luck for eternity – for the next …. what do houses have ? … owners/beneficiaries/families??? I hope they live up to you the way we tried to and I hope the next house we have lives up to us the way you did …. and becomes our next home. With a heavy heart I wish you adios, my friend my home.

They say that our motto in life should be to look forward and never look back.

 I wonder if I would wake up in the middle of night some day and not know where I am and walk 13 steps downstairs, take a left and a right and expect to open a refrigerator to fetch some milk … maybe it will be there, maybe it won’t.

With love:

A Walk in the Park

Ankur came back from her China trip and was dead tired. So, I decided to take Aadi (who slept for 10+ hours and had to burn off his energy) to the French park as soon as he got up.

I forgot what Diya was doing … a play date? Anyway, it was 3rd July and we all had the day off. Which also means dealing with two high energy kids all through the day! 

Aadi was thrilled to "hike" for the first time in French park. He started off walking slowly looking all around. He was mesmerized to see the sunlight trickling down through the tree canopy …. just for a bit and then made a dash for it! :)  

We had a great time playing in the "spider net" (cargo rope net)! At one time Aadi decided to climb a 20 ft vertical wall to use as an "illegal" shortcut to between to two pathways one of top of the other. Not cool! (… but kind of cool :) ) 

After a while I got tired playing in the cargo rope net. So, I sat down on a bench and started reading Joe Nesbo's "The Devil's Star" on my iPhone. After a few pages (locations?), when I looked up to check on Aadi, I found that he has managed to find some older girls to include him with them and spin him around on the tire swing! ( … there's always a way.) 

And of course, the coolest thing for Aadi at the end was to cool off with his favorite ice-cream - Sponge-bob! :)

July 4th Fireworks - Aadi Dancing!

Check out this video on YouTube:

Aadi's excited dancing is more spectacular than the fireworks! He was so excited he could hardly speak. I have to say these fireworks produced more bang for the buck we hoped for.
