Diwali dhamaka


This year unexpectedly, Tanay and I came back to India just before Diwali from Germany. Originally the plan was to return in December, but due to some change in plans, we all came back in last week of October. Then, I decided to spend Diwali in Pune with my in-laws. It was also the first Diwali of my baby boy and I wanted it to be special. Tanay's dad, however had to return to Germany as he works there. But some things can't be held and I hope to celebrate Diwali with him and Tanay next year at least!

I bought Tanay a cute little kurta pyjama and he looked super duper hit in that attire. I clicked a few snaps of him. Actually, any color suits him as he is fair and charming. We did the lakshmi pooja traditionally and just lit some crackers (which did not make any noise). Tanay was happy to see the area lit around him and he was not afraid of the crackers at all. I was fearing that we would cry due to the loud noises, but nothing happened and he proved himself to be a tough guy already!

There were a few guests to see and meet him, especially the people who were my in-laws friends. They all were happy to see such a smiling and happy baby. Tanay loves being with people and he does not have stranger anxiety at all. He is very sociable and he smiles at everyone. Only one friend of mine managed to come and see Tanay in Pune. She is a free lancer and hence could take out time. I had invited other friends of mine too, but they were busy with their office and couldn't manage. Hope to see them sometime soon!

This Diwali was special in the sense that Tanay was with us. His smile, his development, his laughter lights up our every single day. For me actually, every day, right from his birth is a celebration in it's own way because he gave birth to a mother in me just as I gave birth to him. In years to come, I hope, he has much more fun during this festival of lights and I would like to see him light up many more lives as he grows up just as he had done it for us!

The dilemma

My mother-in-law left for Pune today after spending two and a half months with us in Germany. And suddenly the house seems empty without her...
