13th July – 19th July 2015 [Cricket Morning]

                              

Amar – Jeni joined us for Kari Chawar lunch on Last Sunday. After excellent Lunch, we sat down and gossiped. ‘Lets have a get together.’ Someone said, and in response instantly, Akshay/Amar created a group and announced, ‘Sunday Morning Cricket’. Soon every one showed interest. After considering few options, modern playground [synthetic grass, Mall terrace, Huge nets] was booked for morning. Few pictures of the morning.

Rare Sight, Akshay in Action

This week Kabir completed 40 days. This is considered as first mile stone as per tradition. So Dhwani & Kashyap along with kabir’s Nani and Badi Ma, paid visit to Dhagdu Seth Ganpati.

Rarer Sight, Chinky following Akshay

After taking blessing from “Ganpati”, doctor’s routine visit was fixed. According to her, his height has increased by 6 cm which is good. All other minor issues, like slight shiver, rough skin, little vomit etc were ignored by doctor and told parents to do so, according to her, when child starts losing weight, one should worry only then.

KhushiRam’s daily routine is taking shape. Whenever I pick him, he is sure to Yawn and in turn I do the same, giving him company. Be it in morning at 6.30 or late in evening at 7.30. After few yawns, today, he kept kick starting a Bajaj Two wheeler. When we were holding his right leg, he will continue kicking with his left leg.

Rishi Stretched Out

Bindiya calls him in her unique pronunciation, ‘Kabbiir’ and to everyone delight, he responds to her, looks and gives a loop sided smile. It appears soon he will be reacting to sounds. He has started staring us, maybe trying to recollect our shape. I am told that kids vision is blurred at this age.

Like all kids, his skin is sorting out all shades, and will settle down soon, his current range is ‘Gora to Kala’ full spectrum. Muskan takes offence if I call him ‘KalooRam’. But then it is upon him to settle for proper skin tone, if he also objects to ‘KalooRam’ he should settle for Chutki shade.  

Next week, Sapna Bajaj’s second son is getting married in very flashy, rich and glamorous style to Ramu mama’s in-law family. They are super duper rich and into film distribution. So some south Indian film stars are also expected. All events are held in J W Marriot, where all guests will be staying. We received invitations from the both sides. And only Avi will be going from our side, reasons are many to list here.

One more marriage invitation is from Baroda, Ashok Ahuja’s sisters daughter, Kamna. She used to be integral part of Chawla Cousin Gang, during her stay in India, now she has shifted to USA. However, for wedding they have selected Baroda, as the boy is from there. All chawla cousins will be going and Akshay – Muskan are joining them.
