To Someone...From Somebody

This blog entry is a love letter... yes I did write this, but never sent it to anyone!:D...

Hubby dear, when u read this u may be misled into thinking that it was written to u... but if u do think like that i dont mind!:) [Being on the safer side...you see]

Actually these words were written just on the spur of the moment when i wanted 2 write a love letter,I wanted to write all these things so the person I would eventually love would know how I so truly feel....This letter was written around 8-10 years back!

hmmm...yeah, there was a time when i wanted to just write anything..and this came up thus!!


STATUTORY WARNING: This letter is not meant for anyone in particular!Reading this letter is not hazardous to your heart. I give you every right to copy the content and sent it to the one you love...(I'll b glad to be the cupid!)




Dear Someone,



We dont choose how we fall in love, not where, not even the person....the cupid strings his bow, strikes his arrow and we fall in love.



The only certainity is this- when love finds us, it kindles a flame in our soul that softens the edges between us and changes the way we see each other and the world around us.

YES...love has kindled that flame in my soul and I know that you do feel the same too.Everyday expectantly I await your arrival,to guide me through the day and fill the day with memories for me to hold tight and sleep in the night.

Looking into your eyes transports me into another world where LOVE is the only language spoken. Feeling your touch makes me want to melt in your arms. Hearing your voice, it's a different feeling altogether. Loving you is more exciting than anything that has ever happened to me before.

Darling,when things are changing around us and the world seems to be moving at a much faster pace..Don't forget..I will be right there beside you,loving you and caring for you. I was made for you and for you I will always be there. Sometimes I want to hold your hands and take you to the farthest horizon,where a world awaits just for us...But sometimes I guess saying,"I love you" says it all and expresses everything!

Love you forever and always

yours,

Somebody

Pookat!!!!!!

Wondering what the title meant?!!!!


No, its not not some African term!


No, its not some expletives of some mundane culture!


And no...certainely no to whatever thing u may be thinking it is!!!


Well...lemme tell you how the word came into being!


Yes there is a story behind this one too...


On a bright beautiful morning when my sons and i were playing outside in the porch...Bittu, (the younger of the two) came running in full speed and shouting on top of his voice,"POOKAT, POOKAT!"


It took me some time to figure out what it meant and he kept pointing to a direction and kept repeating the word...then i saw what he was referring to....it was a Pussy Cat!

LOL....I had a good laugh!


I wanted to title this blog as the joy of motherhood...but decided the present one was a better one.


Kids have their own way explaining things through actions or words that they create! It always amused me as to how kids try to imitate the phonetic sounds made by people around them.


The greatest test of being a mother is trying 2 understand what the kid wants and to decipher their words... I have comipled a list of words my kids use daily. It was real fun trying to remember all these funny words. (Oh boy! the time it took me to decipher these simple words initially)

The NAUGHTY DUO

Ananya unveiled...(A 100 things about me)

Hmmm...was wondering how to describe myself to you.... so I figured out this is a good way for u to find out about me and for me to find about myself...let's c if I can list a 100 things about me...(Promise it will be only 100 :D)

1. Ananya is my pen name...(I was named something else by my parents.)



2. My original name meant Alone...which i rarely am. (BUT lemme tell u a secret...there is a major part of me that feels alone...and that is only because i want it like that!)



3. I am an Indian!



4. A proud malayalee....sorry dont refer to me as a mallu...i hate that



5. A malayalee not born in God's own country but in the oil rich fields of the Persian gulf



6. I am a hindu...and proud to be one! But i do visit churches for the peacefulness around and listen to people who talk about Islam and learn about their values.


7. I am married....married to a true blooded LEO...(OMG...there I can hear him ROAR)



8. I am my dad's princess...not that i get everything that i want but he loves me more than anything!

12. Despite identifying myself with the spider...I am scared of them...They r creepy...I share the traits but not a liking for them sorry...not my kind of a pet!



13. Those people who see me for the first time would either think that I am a serious young woman with a no messing with me name tag hung around my neck, or you will think that I am so warm and approaching.......but once I let you know the real me...you wont forget me for life...(isn't that a bit too modest declaration...well...cant help it! :))
