Dear Gautam, I'm sorry for not writing this before. All of our lives have changed since I was here last. 2024 was a good year for all of us. Your father and I were able to start our very own little Bistro called Loam. And you were very much part of the team! Your little … Continue reading 4th Birthday Wish coming in late!

Alright Gautam, blame me for being tardy. However, here I am, trying to keep up with your pace. Trying to pen down and summarize the million tiny little feelings I feel each passing year, so that one day, some day, if ever you need to come back here, you can. I'm saying this because even … Continue reading The Third Birthday Wish

Dear Gautam, I am a couple of days late in writing this, but when I write for you, I want to write from my heart. I don't want to rush it at all. The last few days, weeks and months have been overwhelming for our family, even you. Dadda is not around because he has … Continue reading The Second Birthday Wish

Dear Gautam, You turned 1 yesterday. Since you are now a toddler, I wanted to make this letter special for you, and so I have pondered and pondered over what I should write, but nothing is going to be special enough . No words can match the feeling I feel when I see you wake … Continue reading The First Birthday wish

Dear Gautam, Only a month away from toddlerhood, you now weigh 9 kgs, and I do not know how many cms, but you're doing pretty well. You can walk now, even though we really have to coax you into taking those tiny little steps. You have also started climbing down beds and sofas, which means … Continue reading 11 months

Dear Gautam, 14 Sep, 2021 At 10 months, you weigh 8.790kgs and are at a height of 75cms. You have more than tripled your birth weight. Thank you for cooperating with me, nursing and eating so well. I would have been very worried otherwise. You have been standing up with support and cruising for the … Continue reading 10 months

A part of me is always with you. You must know that. I spent 10 years with you- and though the number may seem small now, these 10 years were the most important 10 years of my life. I remember yearning to leave you and going back to the plains, where the highways were broad … Continue reading Dear Shimla,

My little boy is growing up so fast. Soon after the 7 month mark, he started standing up by himself with the support of furniture (and our legs) and today, he climbed up the staircase by himself. See! https://videopress.com/v/3LrM3bPr?preloadContent=metadata And here's another angle, just because I can't get enough: https://videopress.com/v/PPfThgTW?preloadContent=metadata Time and again I have … Continue reading First Flight-First Mamma

It's funny how time flies so slowly, and yet so fast during a lockdown. Gautam turned 6 months old on 14th May. It was a special day for us. He ate his first solid food, a banana! Rather a quarter of a teaspoon of it. He's been eating well since then. He's a good boy. … Continue reading 6 months

My baby turned 5 months old yesterday, and I realized i'm already late to begin recording his milestones. While Masoom and I have captured all important moments, we haven't compiled them in one place. Parents do all kinds of special things for their newborns- professional photoshoots, custom made clothes, monthly birthday celebrations. We haven't done … Continue reading Milestones
