The day arrived. annual day competitions were held in their balvihar class.Every year they celebrate this by organising sloka chanting competitions, fancy dress and bagvat gita channting. Actually i made my son ready for fancy dress competition. The topic given was national leaders. Suddenly my son suffered with high fever so he was not able to prepare any for it. So i informed sloka madam about it. But she told me to be present for the function even if my son doesnot take part in any program.

Some how i prepared my son for function by giving medicine but still he his health was not better. Evening i dressed him up with a nethaji dress. But he  felt very tired. But he managed to be with other children n just stood with them for some time and later i made him to take rest in near by house.

Finally they announced the name meaning explanation competition winners. My son was given first prize for explaining his name in detail. I felt so happy it was a surprise amidst of my sons bad health sloka mam told me to be present for this memorable evening. He competed with other big children boldly in very small age so he was given this prize they said. So proud of my son.Really my son was happy to see the cup.indeed was a very happy new year to all of us. So excited new year.
                                                                         

My first air travel with my baby

Hi i would like to share my experience about my first air travel with my baby....From Chennai to Singapore(it was my second travel to Sg).

My baby was at three months.As i am going alone to abroad with my baby we reached airport earlier to avoid tensions in the last moment. Also the day before travel I was not well.I was suffering with fever,vomiting.So I took some tablets to avoid postponing my travel. (Also very eager to see my Hubby after long time :wink:)

My parents and in-laws accompanied me to the airport. "Thank god, visitors were allowed this time! God saved me by this, so that i gave my baby to them!"and went to check in my travel.

I went for scanning my luggage(3 Suitcases).Hand baggage was with me.After scanning i went to check in counter for getting boarding pass, also informed about Basket for keeping baby. Also I came to know that i can put extra 10kgs in my luggage (though my Hubby told, he gave only safe Number of Kg's) so i planned to put my hand baggage also with that. So i took out all my valuables and things necessary for my baby and transferred to my small bag and locked the hand baggage and i again went to scan this bag.Then i put it in my luggage with other bags.

By this i am saved from Carrying both luggage and baby together.

I felt relaxed and i proceeded to other formalities. I stayed in parental room in the airport in order to nurse my baby.
( :whistlewow Chennai Airport has a good maintained Parental Room!!!) My baby felt more comfortable and i was tension less. I was also able to rest myself for sometime since i was not well. We did not realize our time passed here so nicely.

After tat i got boarding announcement so i rushed to the respective gate for boarding inside the plane.I was given a baby basket for my baby. After take off, i made my baby sleep in the basket. He slept peacefully in that.

We don't have much to write While in travel! Both of us slept :)nicely, in between i fed my baby two to three times.Thank God ! he did not scream or do any mischief.

In few hours of time, we reached our destination(Changi Airport).I was so excited that am going to see my hubby after a long time.He was waiting outside eagerly to see both of us :).Due to bad health, i thought that i could go home soon and take rest.

I completed all formalities in the airport and came to luggage collection.As i was holding my baby in my hand i could not lift luggage, the person near me helped to take my bags one by one. I got three bags which i first checked in and i didn't get the last bag so i was waiting for more than an hour to get that. The person who helped me was also waiting patiently for my luggage.As time up, i thanked him and said i will manage myself.

Then i requested airport authority and gave my baby to my hubby who was waiting outside. I told him to wait for sometime and returned back to my search.

As i was so tensed i couldn't even smile at my hubby and also had no time to tell Wat is happening.

My baby was seeing nicely all lights in the airport, up to some time he helped me by not crying, and slept at hand after some time until i give to my hubby.

After some time, i was informed that all bags of my flight arrived and my bag was missing.:shock: I was very much upset since i kept all my original documents,baby dresses and toys inside tat.As that was my hand baggage before i kept all these items in that. In the last moment i took only valuables and left remaining as such.I dont know Wat to do.

I was taken to "SATS LOST AND FOUND" section in the airport to give complaint about my bag. I don't have any hope tat i will get my bag back. Yet, i went to give complaint. There i was asked about all these things listed below.

a) colour and model of my bag
b) about locking particulars (locked or unlocked),model and colour
of lock.
c) all other things inside bag(any eatables,valuable items,dress,
documents etc.,)
d) rough estimation of the items inside the bag (such as date,place
and cost of purchase- separate estimation for rupees and dollars)
e) Address and contact number in India and Singapore.

I become mad, :confused2:already tired, clock at 10.30pm, my kid & hubby waiting outside, could not recall all my history.

After i gave all these particulars i was given a complaint number. I was asked to check with the airport next day by telling my complaint number.(The airport authorities were kind enough until i gave all information's about my bag).

It was ten thirty when all these procedures were over.I came out of the airport and explained all Wat happened to my hubby. He comforted me :cool2:and told tat we will definitely get our bag. As i was not aware of this before, i had no hope about it.Then we got inside a cab to reach our home. On the way, i talked to both parents about my safe arrival. I was not able to tell my:cry: worries to them.Becoz, even small worries make our parents feel a lot. So i didn't tell them about this. We reached home by 11.30pm.

Next day morning, as soon as we got up we rang "Lost and Found" phone number at Changi Airport and we came to know that our bag was found and it was sent to our home in person we will get it in another half an hour . I was so happy for having got our bag back. Also so thankful to the wonderful Service rendered by Changi Airport Authorities.


:idea:packing Things for my Trip helped me :-

by saving part of my time -(ie.if some else has packed i must call
them and find out Wat was inside my
bagfor giving complaint, and it would
grab more than half an hour)

Hope u enjoyed the post though it is very long :wave

Passport for my baby 2008

This is my personal post on a forum, i would like to share in my blog too. I wish to share my experience about getting passport for my baby.

Since my hubby at abroad, this process suits to many hence wish to share the story.  

Steps,

Get your Marriage certificate immediately after marriage.
Get your ration card detailed merged after marriage (make it same address)

Add your name in Hubby's passport and his name in your passport in yours. - This involves both of your passport will get changed, pls do in abroad itself well ahead before delivery travel -
If you decide to do in India it is very very tough and hard work after delivery, it can be avoided (with kid, yourself) traveling to Passport office many times

Plan your baby name well ahead. Give the baby name while delivery itself to Nurse / staff assistant Convey them that we need the BC (birth certificate) at the earliest, Talk to to them before delivery day, if there are expenses involved, please do so.

Please leave this assignment to another person (father,FatherinLaw,Brother's) so that they will (should) followup and get the BC while you go home after delivery, please press for many copies first time itself (2/3 copies)

 At a convenient day after delivery take Passport photo for your baby, make sure the photographer sits at home for some time, take the photograph until he satisfied, it must be taken without using Flash,Blue/White background, so that baby will not get disturbed (it is up to your interest), ask for multiple copies (say 15-20 Photographs, if you want give them instruction for Full scape photo also)

 If your hubby present in india No need to get affidavit other wise they should get in abroad (using Marriage certificate, you passport copies, Photographs some might ask) receive it in hand parallely.

 If you wish to apply in person, (save some money) If you wish to apply through travel agent (procedures are same, but expenses more) Book online appointment with passport office after submitting your details(using Internet) passport.nic.in, Get a PDF file printed, take multiple copies of it. -

Get ready with your address proofs,
 -Your Passport & its copies full pages
- Your Hubby Passport & its copies full pages
 - PP size photographs of yours, hubby's, baby's (many copies)
 - address / ID proof yours:
- Ration card copies & original (if can)
 - Voter ID copies & original (if can)
- Get Demand Draft delivered to your address (using Net banking of ICICI/HDFC/etc.)
 - Get your Passport Form filled all particulars, verify it after get printed from Website.
- If you decide to apply in Tatkal make sure you change Amount (it is for normal passport printed from website)
- Get thumb impression from baby.(on a convenient day)
 Plan your trip to passport office with all maximum details (if not required also please carry, Rules are changing frequently everywhere without notice, Dont trust Government Website)

 Important Note: With all these documents please get verified with a Passport Agent or With Passport Office by Another person, before you travel there, so that you can avoid lot of delays when you travel with Kid. With in week you will get your baby passport.

 We learnt this process by tough cost of time and exercise! Hope all of you enjoy, get useful of this info.
 Thanks to all for reading this, Anu.

This post is based on our personal experience we faced 2008.










Today fan

Swimming is first!!!!!!!

Mithran has started to Swim. Side by side he started to crawl and trying to do all at a time. So nice to watch him swim to take wat he wants. He started to make sounds if he want anything in his hand until he gets that he makes such sounds. Some time we give him wat he wants and mostly we diverting by showing other things to divert him from making sounds.

His attractions and attention towards various Things:-

First one is books and newspaper by seeing the outer cover he wants to grab it in his hands and pass it from one hand to other. Also he wants to squeeze and tear it and listen to its sound. He feels so happy and excited while doing this.

Second one is his toys. Especially Pooh and donald duck drums is his first favourite ones and also yellow musical doll He loves to listen to music coming from his toys.

Third one is Listening to songs. He likes to sit with his dad and listen to various music in our system. He wants his favourite screen saver to see as it moves along with the music.

Fourth one is Stools and chairs. There is a green colour stool in our home wen he sees that immediately he swims  and hold  it and try to stand. he wants to handle on his  own by pushing it and also he wants to carry it.

Fifth one is pooja mandap. He wants to swim near pooja mandap and ring door bells.

OF course he has started to explore various things around our home. We waiting to see More.

Two Skys and Reddu SUN!!!!

Sukarman has started to observe many things day by day. He is a good learner cum analyser.

We used to go for walk every day. Somedays we go in evenings and somedays in morning. Often both times we go. So we used to question him by asking things arround us. Such as Name of our residing block and where we going and so on.

Today we asked him Wat is the colour of the sky. AS it was morning he replied white colour and also joined it with sun. Later we forgot about it. Next day night wen we went outside.we were asking some questions as where is moon and stars. That time he suddenly naratted the colour of sky is black now and moon and stars there. Also two skies are there white colour and black colour. We were wondering about his memory and analysing skill. We later explained only one sky there during day it will be white in colour and in night black as sun disappear. Hope he will understand it sooner.

So nowadays he started to hum some different music narrating sun. That is "Reddu SUN","Reddu sun" Then he makes some tik tik sound and goes by opening both hands on opposite sides and walks joyfully around our home. Wen he is in super duper mood he does this and it is so cute to watch him enjoying nature in his own way.

Swim or Crawl? Wat is first?

Our Little master Mithran who is five months old turned upside down few weeks ago. Nowadays he is recognising all of us. Especially his elder brother. HE kicks his legs faster and laughs wen his elder brother comes near him.

Also wen Sukarman says "aguva" little one responds him with "akia" immediately. Really so cute to watch them talking like this. We need to be extra careful during this time as elder is too mischievious sometimes he grabs his hand or legs with force and run away before we could stop him doing so. But still Elder loves his brother more. He helps me in changing his diapers or dressing him by doing small things.

Nowadays little one started to turn in circles and tries to swim also sometimes he tries to neel down and crawl. We are eagerly waiting to see wat is going to be first.
