Yukta is my niece. Difficult to believe, but she completed two years today! It seems like yesterday was the day she was born, but as I am writing this, those two years are floating by my eyes. I was working in Pune when she was born and luckily I was home when our bundle of joy arrived J She is the first member of her generation in my family, so she is pampered like anything! Since Didi-Jiju (My elder sister and BIL) have shifted to Bangalore and are staying with us for a while, me and J* are having a great time with Yukta and of course, with Didi-Jiju as well. We could not be there for her first birthday so we ensured that we didn’t miss anything on her second one.
We went to Aryasamaj temple first thing in the morning. We reached just on time for the completion of the havan. “Varshikotsav” was going on there so the place was buzzing with energy. There were girls invited from Varanasi who are appointed as the “Cultural Ambassadors” of India by the Indian Government and have travelled the world for creating awareness about our rich culture. They are trained in Classical Music, Bow and arrows and the like. They sang bhajans and different ragas.
After that we went for shopping for her presents and some decoration stuff for the party in the evening. We bought a colorful tricycle for her. In the evening a few kids from the colony were invited and she had a gala time with them during the cake cutting, photo sessions, dance and games.
Yukta is very smart for her age as she can understand a lot of things and speaks almost everything (not everything is clear though). She is very inquisitive and asks a lot of questions. She wants to know everything as in who is going where, what am I doing on laptop, what is there for dinner and why her favorite thing is not there, why is the comb kept there, and the list is endless. You got the point? She knows how to coax her Ma by being nice (for a while) and hugging her. She is full of life, always talking and when she is not talking she expects us to talk or play with her. She is an attention seeker and does weird stuff (Read – Forbidden Stuff) when we don’t pay attention to her. Her kiddish talks and queries, her smile just makes my day. No matter how horrible my day was, I always end up smiling when she is around!
The big girl will be joining play school from next week. I hope she enjoys it and the rest of her academics as well.
Happy Birthday again SweetheartJ
May you have a wonderful life ahead!
God Bless You!
Love,
Mausi
