I will attain nirvana the day I find answers to these questions...

Why am I judging my success or failure by somebody else’s success or failure?

Why do I like to wallow in self pity?

Why do I have to feel so deeply about everything?

Why cannot I just live in the moment?

Happiness is within me and I want to find it.

What is the meaning of life? Can I not find it by leading a simple life? Do I have to rough it out to find the meaning of life? Do I even have to find it?

The worst vice – Jealousy

Jealousy stems from not having self worth and self confidence.

Krish at 10 months

Krish is going to be 10 months tomorrow and can't believe that he has grown so fast. As it is I seem to have missed quite a lot of his milestones..Of course there are snaps and videos but somehow they don't say the story like words.

So, here we go - Lets finish the not so nice parts & move to the nice ones or better lets alternate:).
Dear Krish, you are a sweet baby and quite a charmer and this is not mummy talk, everybody who sees you and meets you says so. You have this very special characteristic of making everybody whom you are with feel very special and somehow they always end up feeling that you are that way only with them! I really don't know how you do it. Mummy and daddy are definitely not charmers. Wonder where you got that from..

The other side of the coin is that you are very clingy. Now, daddy is in NY during the week and it is just the two of us and you simply refuse to leave me out of your sight when you are awake. I am told that you are that way in school too.phew, I think we are done with the not so good part now:)

Returning to all nice things, you are smart and intelligent. You understand a lot of what we speak. I was surprised how when you were 8 months, one day sitting with you in the car after we came back home (remember it was a nice sunny day in the midst of winter), how I randomly said clap your hands and you did it!! That memory never fails to bring a smile to my face. You also understand kitchy & you very affectionately bestow it on everybody, though I have mostly noticed that you do it more with ladies. Well, i will forgive you, guys are hairy:). And whenever I say dada, you look towards the door, especially now, this being the first week without daddy. Your vocabulary includes in addition to all the noises 'dada', 'thatha', 'mama'.

Physically, you are small and never seem to put on all that chubby baby fat. But otherwise you seem to be doing good. You are crawling and now pull up and stand against everything!. You look sooo cute doing it:)

You love Miss. Margaret in your daycare and go jumping to her as soon as we go in the morning. A small part of me feels bad that you are so ready to get away from mama but but a big big part of me is very happy that you have adjusted so well. The only problem is because of all the noise you don't seem to be sleeping so well. sigh, we can't have everything. But I think you are making up for it at home. You mostly sleep throught the night & also take a evening nap as soon as we go home.

I still believe that you will grow up to be a quiet, intelligent, thinking boy.Baby , I am soo proud of you!

Lots of love, mama
