Counting my Blessings

Ok !! Enough of the rona dhona … I’m myself Bored of my mood and all that comes with it, so what better way to distract myself than write about some of the happiest moments in my life !!! Here goes …

* When my brother was born. 10 years younger than me, he’s my first baby ( Don’t tell Him that !! ) .

* When I won a fabric painting contest at age 14 ( I did Not see that coming … )

* When my Grandfather said I dance like Madhuri Dixit ( Him paying a compliment was a biggie in itself πŸ˜‰ )

* Getting up late and watching TV with mom like lazy bums.

* When we found my brother after he was lost for more than 3 hours in the busiest part of Mumbai ( for Mumbaiyaas , that’s Shoppers Stop, Andheri ) in 97 .

* When my brother won an academic award in the whole of Gulf region.

* When I went roaming around in Khandala, it was raining and we were having bhajiyas.

* When I was the only one to get an increment one year into the job.

* The moment a few days after my engagement when I looked at my husband and felt ” He’s the one ” .

* The days of my marriage. I had a fun wedding, laughing dancing all the way.

* My hubby’s expression when I gave him our first anniversary gifts and his 2nd bday that we celebrated together.

* When my hubby gifted me an engraved jewellry box this anniversary with words that had me in tears ( I truly wasn’t expecting anything :)) )

* Walking around in the rain with my hubby sweetest, getting wet after watching Jab We Met. ( He’s such a sport I tell u lolzzz ) .

About Aditi Wardhan Singh

I'm a mom living in Virginia, enjoying chronicling my various escapes with the kids and around the kitchen. I believe being a mom involves a balance of holding on and letting go. And since being a mom is a 24/7 job, cooking though essential, needs to be as easy as can be. So peruse my blog for various experiences in parenting and experiments in cooking.

  3. Really, most of us keep ranting most of the times of the numerous troubles we have. Hence, it is rare to see someone recounting the good things in life.

    I am also inspired to do a similar thing today, and count the blessings for a change.

    As far as your brother being lost in Andheri, I have a similar account when one of my sisters got lost in Pondicherry's local markets. Two hours later we found her- bargaining in a shop !!!

  4. loved it:)…and yes i agree it would have been pretty therapeutic:)
