"May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strenght into your being.
May you walk through the world 
and
 know its beauty all the days of your life." 
Apache Blessing
 Mamma-Papa lves you Swetheart!





Today, my precious little baby girl turned 6 years old!
Happy Birthday Aarna.
Can you believe it? More than half way to the double-digits!
I'm sure that you all have been looking forward to Aarna's annual birthdya write up, and I did write one..but was shirking to put it on the site.
There have been a lot of people who are in a habbit of cutting,coppying and pasting whatever I post on the site.
All my sentiments soaked words are 
stolen away
,brushed here and there 
and
 reposted 
with alien names on some god forsaken sites...
Come on people Grow up..!
Respect other peoples work and use your own rustic brains to dress up your websites... 

The most wonderful thing in the world to me is Aarna's smiling face.
 I can't believe she will be 6 this September,
 time flies when you are having fun!
 I love Aarna because she is such an amazing kid!
 Her compassion is admirable! 
Her wit is incredible! 
She is caring, responsible, loving, 
and 
has the voice of an angel!
I love my daughter because she is a ray of sunshine.
 I love her smile when I wake up in the morning,
 I love her kisses.. 
She can light up my bluest days by just looking at me with a smile on her face and love in her heart. 
She gives the best hugs in the world , 
and when she says
 I love you Mom, 
there is no sweeter words in this world. 
I love you baby girl!!! 
Through the good and the bad I will always be there for you.
I love my little girl so much! 
She has a huge capacity of love, 
so cute, 
she will stroke faces,
 hold your face in her little hands,
 hug,
 so free with her cutie expressions of love and affection.
 I sit and watch her, 
and think, 
god, I am so lucky to have her.
 I hope I can teach her to be strong, 
and to have respect for herself, 
to always hold her head up 
and
 keep her shoulders back.
 To know, in her heart of hearts,
 that she is valued for exactly who she is... 
and 
sees her worth in herself, 
and
 can pick herself up from the ground,
 because she will fall, 
that is how life is. 
My baby girl, my hope for the future.
She oozes lovable. 
She helps me see whats important. 
She asks me to explain the world to her. 
She walks with confidence, beauty 
and 
6 year old style. 
She is headstrong and does NOT give up. 
She is as sweet as candy and more precious then anything I've ever known.
I love my daughter because of all of the precious ways she shows her love for others! 
she is constantly thinking of others feelings and always wants to help people and make them happy. 
God has blessed her Daddy and I in ways beyond our imagination.
She will always be our little Princess.....
She is so outgoing loves to sing, dance 
and 
just LOVES life ..
We know that God has big plans for her
 and 
we see how lucky we are 
everyday
 to be her mommy & daddy!
We love you Princess!!
She is the best big sister Angad could ask for! 
The world is a better and much much happier place with her here! Everyday
 is a joy with Aarna!
 I love her more than words can say...
.my heart is so full of admiration and love.
 My girl is a gift like no other! 
She is more than i could ever hope for in a daughter.
.God, I love my daughter more and more each day.
 Every year, 
every moment, 
all the while
 as 
She grows and change..

My sweet Aarna Supriya.
My tiny shadow and my daily sunshine.
Mamma Loves you My Bachha..will always do...muah !




It's christmas time yet again, and we have got our gift from Santa already ....
a gentle, sweet, beautiful daughter
who is always a pleasure to be with.

I love being a mommy to my sweet (and sometimes wild!) angel
Ahhhh. One of the many pleasures of childhood. My baby love fairytales and I must say...so do I.
What a beautiful girl we are blessed with. She is so kind, smart and funny! So full of creative energy.She is such a little thinker and has such love for our family. She is my cuddle bunny and snuggle-puppy and I am the luckiest mama in the world to have such a girl!

..these days she has an irrepressible need of doing things on her own.

She wants to be there when I am cleaning the fridge,when I water plants, when I do dusting, when I cook, when I write, when I check my emails on my vaio. And she wants to do everything I do, on her own. Maybe some of her experiences are difficult and she’s having a hard time trying to do complicated stuff but she’s enjoying every second of it. Life is better when is experienced first hand.....!

I’m amazed by her capacity to relate with unknown persons.When I take her out to the park or to a mall.. every one smiles and waves at her and wants to talk to her and she is so responsive, like she knows those people from the day she was born. She doesn’t reject anybody, unless the person is really annoying and/or boring. Kids don’t have social constraints when it comes to relationships, they’re just interacting naturally with everybody around. No need to exchange cards, phone numbers or to ask for a favor. Aarna is making friends like this is the easiest thing in the world. 
And I learned from her that this is the easiest thing in the world.

When she wants something, she really wants something. If she doesn’t get it, she cries. Instantly and with big tears. And you know what: she doesn’t fake it. When she is happy she can laugh for half an hour continuously. And she doesn’t fake it either. 
When she’s upset, she’s really upset. 
When she’s joyful, she’s really joyful. 
I don’t think I ever saw her faking something, even when she’s trying to pretend she’s upset, she’s so authentic about her pretending. 
There’s no need to fake sadness or joy, things are so much better when you give yourself permission to be authentic. 



 

 








Even at my age, you can still learn a few things. I realized that today as I was given a very important lesson that candidly, I wish I had learned years ago.

I was watching Aarna the other day. She is just 4 years old. A wonderful child... amazingly respectful, thoughtful, and good hearted. If a kid can be committed to remaining innocent, that is what she is. She always looks for the good in people and seems to ignore the bad. Everyone is her friend... at least that's how She approaches it. And her laughter is contagious. Vipul and I find ourselves laughing with her for no reason at all. She is truly a pleasure to be around...

Happy Birthday my lil' child...
Spread your goodness around..and make this world a better place...
Mamma Papa Loves you !
Muah ! 

A special little lady in my life has turned 4 years old .
I want to tell her lots of things.
How proud I am of her.
How special she is.
How she has blossomed into a beautiful and elegant little girl.

I want to explain to her that it's tough being 4.
That the others in the neighborhood can sometimes be cruel, that she needs to learn to "get along" and make friends and explore the wonderful world out there..

I want to tell her that it's OK to make mistakes.
That we learn from mistakes.
That mistakes can make us better people.
And if we live life afraid of being wrong, or making a mistake, that we never grow.

I want to tell her all about how in life,
there are
always choices,
and that it is
these choices
that define us,
that build our character,
that make us who we are.

I want to tell her how much she means to me, and how I love her.

And last but not the least.I want to tell her that..nomatter what..
I will always be there for her..
just two steps behind.
.to hold her..
to hug her..
and
to watch her make it BIG in life.
Happy Birthday

3.Mere bahoen mein aa (from the movie race..Its my favourite too baby)
4.Bakhuda..( oh! its your currant favourite these days..)
5.Billo rani ( from the movie goal )
6.Baatein hawa hai sari (from the movie chini kum..)







just can't believe you're 3. 
Where did the time go...!?

It seems as if were yesterday watching you make your grand entrance into this world (I picked u up the first and didn’t pass out), bringing you home for the first time (that nervous drive home took a lot longer than normal), and then staring at you in complete amazement wondering what adventures lay ahead and what kind of person you were going to be (watching you sleep was better than any TV show.)
Never would I have imagined the absolute joy of watching you grow, learn, walk, and talk. Most of all – the happiness and delight you bring to your mommy and I (your smile and laugh still make me melt...) I'm still in awe at how much that delicate baby I once held is gone, growing up fast, and getting a little more independent each day. Although, in my eyes, you’ll still be my little baby girl (even when you’re 30...) 









Aarna as a Four-year-old....
..... is delightful and sunny.
She is now eager to please 
and
 responds well to praise.
She has become very determined and strong-willed, often refusing to obey me and vipul.
She is Sometimes shy, sometimes fearless,She can change from moment to moment.
its a plesure to watch her use her newfound language skills.
She is better able to express her thoughts and needs.
She is a very alert child and picks up new words very fast.
We have to be very careful about what we utter,as its taken even beofre we say it..!She loves to use new words.

I see her engage in magical thinking.
She believes that just thinking about something can make it happen..beautiful,isnt it? 

Friends are becoming important to Aarna.
She has some very special friends that she look forward to seeing.
She even has a few Imaginary friends.I watch her talk and interact more with her friends then she did before. 

Aha!Such is the world of a four year old.
Amazing changes are ahead.
Over the year Aarna has become more self-aware and awareness of the world around her has also increased rapidly. 
The constant “why” questions have suddenly become “I think I know why”--and they are followed by
 extraordinary 
and 
sometimes humorous explanations 
of human and cosmic events. 

When  Aarna hears a story, the tears, sadness, and fear are real, despite assurances that it is just a story. The media, films, and television soetimes really disturbs her.
Images and sounds evoke real feelings, even if the story or events are pretend.
In her sweet world..The real and the imaginary overlap. 
She hates the Step mother and Step sisters in the story Cinderalla,Gaston in The beauty and the beast and also gets very upset to see Sharukh khan bleed in any of the movies.

I have also observed that Aarna at this stage is very eager to learn. 
Everything is new. Learning colors and numbers, the alphabet and reading, cutting and pasting--

Finally, Aarna's special interests have slowly become more evident. She loves to perform for the family long past bedtime with her newly developed intrest in acting.. 
Playing Rupa-Amit (our friends whom she loves to mimic)is one of her favourite passtimes..

She loves to enact her favourite adds from the television...and she does it really really well....

And is very very sure that she wants to marry her dad when she grows up...
She calls  herself "Bella,the beauty" 
and her dad "The beast"
 and 
loves to kiss him and turn him into a handsome prince everynite before she sleeps...
I just so love to watch this lil drama queen at her best in this act......

Hey! Aarna..
I
just want to
 hold you
 n 
hug you 
on your fourth birthday 
and 
tell you about
how much light and sparkle 
you freely dispense wherever you go,
how your 
sunny smile lights up 
any gathering.
Every single second of your life 
reflect
 your radiating positive, 
happy energy,
contagious happiness 
which 
infects all who come in contact with you.  

You are a great joy in our lives Aarna.
We love you 
and 
cherish you 
and 
treasure you
and wish that every one of your birthdays
will be the happiest yet.
We feel blessed to have you in our lives 
our lil magic hands..!.

Bless u my darling..!
muah !

1ST DECEMBER 2007

Kangaroo kids,viman nagar

Pune

It’s our daughter’s first day of

preschool.

I’m excited and nervous, as if I were

the one beginning an education.

And in a way, I am.

For, even more than the first time we

let someone else hold her, even more

than the first time we let someone

else watch her, her first day of school
is the true beginning of our sending

her out into the world and away from
us.
Nothing says Buddhism like

raising a child.

To cherish what has already changed

as you look upon it.

To hold most tightly what you must

most let go.

....Its the first day of my daughter’s

natural born life!

I hope she adjusts well and embraces

the challenges and opportunities as

they are presented to her during the

rest of her life.

This is a great personal milestone

and I’m quite happy to share the

occasion with all our loved ones..

I wish her Best wishes and continued

success.

Walk on Baby....go conquer the

world !










Aarna's First Brush Strokes..

My Baby Van Gough...

My Picture perfect baby.

My Baby n Me

Sometimes naughty sometimes nice..

Hi world, my name is Aarna Supriya Bhatt.

I was born on the 1st September 2005.

I am new to this profile thing, so please bear

with me.As you may have gathered there is

not much I can tell you about my life so far,

except that for the first few months all I have

done is eat, sleep & poo ... oh, and

occassionally cried when I felt I needed

some attention.


Anyways, the last few months have been too

eventful, check out my milestones..!!! and

you would know

My mom would now take over and share

with u her experince of having me around.

She thinks i am a cutie pie of the highest

order. She adores me and has even writtten

a song on me. Thanks to Jaishree didi its

even recorded and uploaded for u to

listen.check it out..its called "meri aarna"

Thanks for visiting my web page. You are

welcome to browse through the rest of the

page as long as you don't disturb my nap.

*zzz* 





A minute before, you were pregnant –

and then suddenly you hold in your arms,

an infant who breathes, cries, squirms,

watches.

She is Cute and cuddly, Full of charm,

Custom made

to fit your arms….

It’s a Kodak moment

My Aana~Banna has turned two and seems

to grow every time I turn around. All days

spend with her are like magic, and I want to

slow them down to hold on forever.

I know that once upon a time I had a life

without her but I can't quite remember it.

Time flies…it’s as though the memory of my

old life happened to somebody else with my

face.

Today she is my constant companion and

my greatest joy.

On the day that you first hold your new baby,

you truly become vulnerable because this

new life means so much more to you than

your own life ever could.

I thought that the choked up feeling I got

when I first saw her would fade, but it hasn't.

My first moments with Aarna will I guess stay

with me forever, however quickly she

changes and grows. It amazes me that every

time I look at her I still feel tears of joy and

love at the back of my eyes.

Just the way I felt when I first saw her.

I'm constantly in awe of the things she does-

Smiling and laughing , making faces

and uttering out big sentences.

The delight in her eyes when she figures

out

something new is fascinating. Her current

favorite is to touch everything she has been

told to stay away from.

She dislikes the sound of the word NO and

pretends it to be a greek word which is way

out of her lil vocabulary list.

Her favorite toy is doodle slate Vinny Massi

got for her from USA.

She so loves it that I'm just afraid she'll want

to take it to kindergarten with her.

Over all motherhood is everything I could

ever have imagined…The joy of smelling the

sweet scent of her powder, the frustrations

of her not listning to you, the fun to watch

her smile, the "on the spot made" Lullabys

and her sweet laughter.

It’s all packed in one.

I have learned not only a lot about who

Aarna is, but a lot about who I am with her

presence. One minute she can bring me to

tears while watching her silently sleep while

the next holds endless laughter!

Every day it's something new. She's so

much
fun to watch as she explores the world. I can

see through her eyes and absolutely

everything is cool.

As of me things matter less that were once

all encompassing and those things that were

inconsequential are now of utmost

importance. I've gone from "never at home"

and "shopping hopping" to selecting a life

insurance, believing spinach is my plates

best friend & choosing the right nappy rash

cream (I know for sure now that it’s DESITIN).

My world has changed and changed

forever. More than that, I've changed, and I

like whom Aarna has made me.

Thank you, BHAGWANJI for my

Aana~Banna. Please be with her always!

Papa I Love You

Papa I lve you
For all that you do.
I'll kss you and hug you
'Cause you lve me, too.  
you feed me and need me
U teach me to play. 
so smile coz i lve you
on every single Day!

Hello, folks!

How have you been doing? Long time no

updates on my site yah? Mommy dearest

has been busy and Papa has been taking

few pictures nowadays.

Here's a quick update on what has been

happening these few weeks - basically, life is
very much the usual routine!!! HeHe!!!

- I still look cute,and attract a lot of attention

and fish compliments.

- And I just so Love dogs.Bow-wow is how i

address them.My dad takes me out

everyday so that i can meet my

neighbourhood cannies buddy !!

- Still refusing to talk in full sentences,

although I do say quite a few words as and

when I like it. :p

-Have Officially become my parents Trainer

as they are forever running after me .I am

sure I will make them shed a few kilo's!!

-When Momi tries to put clips in my hair, I

wave her off. : ) I am a big girl now and so

want to put it myself.

- Concept of money has set in on me. I now

fish out ruppee notes instead of credit cards

from papa's wallet. I am a smart girl cos I will

always fish out the biggest value note, such

as 500 or 1000. I will hold the note in 2

hands, admire the print and laugh in delight

before running around with the note. Usually

I would run to the door cos I want to go out a

and buy things mah. :) Yah, I am very money-

faced one.
