We are busy with our lives most of the time.,,,everyone is running to be at the same spot…… Money has become very important aspect and earning it, we are at times losing out on valuable relationships. I don’t have time for my Parents who are old and are looking forward to get some amount of love and attention they invested in me... my brother and sister are all lost in their hectic schedule and so are best of my friends.. As I type this out I just wonder whether I should shut down the computer and be with my daughter because I should practice before I preach………….. but then she is off to school... So I am free to preach u…Thinking of Celmira I can not believe it I have my own baby. OH NO!!! it was not a few days ago. It has been freaking 2 and half years now. Ok! It seems just like a few days ago. I can still feel her warmth, smell the baby smell and hear her baby snore…. So my baby is turning into a fine young princess….. As days changed into months and months into years, she went on to prove to be special in everyway……. I have seen her bring out the best in people…. Even the not so good ones. She has smile and love for everyone in the world... She doesn’t know the barriers of countries, caste, color, money, status, age, etc…. . For her everyone with a ‘HI’ is a friend. Anyone with anger or scoldingl is’NO shouting please…..’. So simple is life in her terms just like her language. To be happy, sad, and angry just happens naturally. No drama. Nope… I remember her saying bye to every small thing before leaving house for her school bus..Saying sorry to a crayon for dropping it down. ….. I hope that everybody connected to her will understand her innocence and make her smile always without hurting her … even when I am not around.!

celmi inspirations..

Hi..

Assad Here.. Writing about my favorite topic.. Celmira..

= = = =
Hi Celmi,

You are such a darling. And nowadays you sing Mamma darling also, so sweetly. Its just so sweet. And now I hear thunder keeps ringing in my ears. Love you betu.

Cutie baccha, you are true inspiration for me, inspiration for so many things in life.

1) inspiration to be happy - just jumping over a stone, or just counting floors in lift, and then clapping when we reach 5th floor, its just so easy to be happy. Why do we adults complicate our lifes with our thoughts so much, its so much simple to be happy. The easiest thing for me is to think of your sweet smiling face to be v.v. Happy.. Thanks Celmira.. You are the best.

2) inspiration to love so much - and so unconditionally, even when mom or me have been strict with you, you never hurt us, you love us so much, thanks baby. Love you.

3) manners - you just pick up the good things so fast, you always say thank you, sorry, its ok, welcome, please. You never miss it, you are perfect my baby. I am learning.

4) to be good - there is no malice, you are perfect baby..


Love you soooooooo much..

I have been spending all of my time between Facebook and my daughter Celmira... Without that creative time slot to think and plan a blog post…I shall write about celmira herself...Celmira is getting thinner...anyone looking at her says that ! And why not? she hates food these days..She is developing likes & dislikes. So much so, I suspect that if she had a Facebook account she would sue Mark Zuckerberg for NOT having a ‘Dislike’ button on his website.... Anyway, as part of her growing process…she has started loving choclates.... I am glad we live in an era when choclates can be bought anywhere, and stored in the house (in a refrigerator, of course)..Celmi is just two years and six months but keeping in with the family tradition we have decided to push her into hell when she least expects it... After all, why shouldn’t we revenge what was done to us? we decide to put her in a playchool..my initial list had five play schools. After speaking to a few parents, reading up the internet on playschools in Dubai…I finalized the TWO semifinalists..World Nursery and Happy kids nursery..Let me tell you that education being the money churner that it is, even the Principals are trained to ensure the right image is conveyed to the parents...When we finally decided on the school after 6 months of research I started hating the life I had been chasing so far..so fast..so useless. Don’t believe me? Try making a conversation with a Principal of a Playschool... Now, don’t you go around sleeping around for a child…just pretend that you already have one and call up a play school..!!! To cut the long story short, we were impressed with both playschools and decided to decide together....I told Assad,Celmi's future relies on this decision…please don’t take this lightly. What she become 25 years later depends on this…now tell me which school will you want her to go to...The sad part about being the parent is that you have to make all the decisions and then kids blame parents for everything ! so finally we decide on World nursery.. September 5, 2010 will be Celmi's first day in her play school... Yes, the girl whose birth her parents proudly announced, the girl who taught her parents how to shop when she was just two days old, the girl who was her mother's first walking partner, the girl who is her father’s princess, and the girl who has taught us so many things…will be starting school in few days... Wish her luck.

when will we go for long needed break..i want an anti-social break! i need to sit around with friends but not have to talk. i need to be around people, but not have to interact.

i hate being pushed into a corner. i hate having to accept the inevitable. when i feel pressured into doing something that i dont want... but i know that this something i have to do... i will do it.... but it creates no end of inner turmoil in me.

pulled and pushed in different directions, convincing myself that the direction im being pushed into is for the best, i feel like im losing my hold onto what i really want.

i am discovering how liberal i really am. scary. i dont know how to strike a balance anymore.

the only way to cope is to become indifferent. but the situation calls for extreme involvement. phases of trying to be involved and not letting it get to me..... oscillation between extremes. driving me insane

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

who is putting this pressure on me?

i feel the need to yell STOP. just pause in what im doing... flip a page, find a rift in reality and walk out of this situation.

ufff the dramatics.

You know ur getting older...

When...
1) Quite weekends at home mean potluck lunches with close friends...
2) Your concept of "late night" means you'v slept at 12pm..
3) 90% of the parties you attend are thrown by Friends for their spouses or mothers and warrant the need to buy a gift...
4) You can easily put most of your friends into categories.. "Housewives"
5) Shopping for weekend groceries is categorised as "spending time together"....
6) You start shopping for clothes that "hide it" rather than "flaunt it"....
7) "Child friendly" is the criteria for selection of restaurants
8) The key topics of telephone conversations is recipe discussions or cribbing about spouses hectic work
9) 75% of the photographs posted on facebook are about your kids and 95% of your status messages are about your family....
10) Your parents are more excited to see your kids than to see you....

have u ever had one of those days when u are in the most rotten mood in the world for no good reason and every little thing seems to piss u off even more..
its like one of those days where nothing seems to go right and the more u try to fix things there more things seem to go wrong...

Assad is very busy with his new projects, travelling everyday from Dubai to Abudhabi..infact itz been only 1 week the project has started and it will go on for more 9 months. we have hardly spend not more than few hours in this week...and we are just wondering how will we make up with this hectic schedule. Now how you define this issue of time is very important.. there is a difference between being in the same space with your partner and actually spending time . In this hectic schedule more and more of us are not making the time to nurture our relationships with one another. We tell ourselves and sometimes each other that we will spend time together once we get done with this project or when we reach a certain financial level or pretty soon, or (fill in the blank). Pretty soon we find we are just existing together and as more and more issues pile up in our relationship .. Now this doesn't have to be anything elaborate or even involve a lot of planning but it does have to be intentional\...Assad and I have recently discovered the new freedom that comes when he comes home..He makes it a point to spend atleast an hour with me and Celmira before sleeping... talk together, check in, and enjoy time together. I can't tell you the impact this has had on our relationship. We actually miss the times when there was so much time after his work hours..but for now this routine is working for us..Thanks Assad..I know you are so tired and sleepy after ahectic day but you do realize the importance of spending quality time as a family... We basically talk about what is happening in our lives, how Celmira is doing, what we need to accomplish for the week,... I learn so much from what Assad is learning in his time .. I also ask him to help me with issues in my life that I need to work on and he does the same with me... What are some of the ways you spend time together as a couple? Leave a comment on this post to collect some ideas to share with one another....
