Rishabh’s birthday is on 7th Oct. He will be turning 5. Looks like time has flown way just like that. It seems it was like few days back when he used to crawl and cry. Suddenly he seems to have grownup into a boy and asking for a bicycle as a gift.

Actually he has been asking for a bicycle since few months, and we promised him to get one on his birthday. The day had arrived and he was quite excited. We drove to Jhandewalan, (it has a cycle market) and searched through different options. We saw Hero cycles, BSA (Indian and CHinese), Avon and few others. He liked the one with plastic rim and tubeless tyres. However, the salesman told us that the one with iron rim and tyres with tube were better and rugged. So ultimately we bought a 14 inch BSA cycle with iron rims and tyres with tube.

Rishabh was upset since he was afraid that these tyres would need to be inflated regularly and that would become a problem. So, we bought an air pump for Rs.100 to make him happy.

I dont know how or why, but Manish came up with an idea of taking Maolik and Rishabh out on a small trip to hills of Mount Abu … without me ! Yes, I was furious but then he convinced me and I agreed. I also wanted to see if he can handle 2 kids all alone. Later on Mohit also joined the gang and now it was All Boys Trip.

They boarded Rajdhani at 8pm on 24th August to reach Abu Road early morning, from where they took a cab to Mount Abu.

These are few pics from their trip to Mount Abu. They really had a great time.

I am starting a blog today. Basically it is about my life, family and the things I like. I will be adding categories to provide some interesting views and reviews too.

Ok let me start with the birth of my elder son Maolik. After going through the pains and excitement I finally gave birth to a baby boy (we named him Maolik meaning unique/valuable/Precious/original) on 26th December 1999 at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital New Delhi in the night. The feeling of becoming a mother was overwhelming.
