Chak De India

Saw Chak de India which inspired me to write a blog with a topic apart from my usual stuff of blogs these days related to my experiences with my baby.

Excellent script and wonderful lessons to be penned...for reference.


  • A person managing the team needs to be very clear of his vision. It will give him confidence in himself. Since ultimately it is confidence rather than arrogance needed to align people for a common cause or goal. As in starting how Shah rukh tried to align the team for team spirit.
  • To make a team excel it is imperative for the team to think together about a goal than about the individual concerns. Individually definitely there has to be a drive to improve but every body wins if a team wins and hence interest of a team are above the individual needs. That’s how Shah rukh tried to put up a feeling to play together to win a world cup.
  • Knowing and accepting the strengths and weaknesses of a team and working on them to convert or utilize weakness as strengths. It was quite evident in the whole film.
  • Faith in every person. If a person is not able to deliver the requisite results for a particular project. Instead of criticizing or demoralizing the best way to help him/her is to show confidence because ultimately intentions can always be easily judged. More so, failure or success have to be accepted than to get frustrated n then putting up blames etc.
  • People with positive and negative attitude are important since negative attitude helps to learn more cause of the challenge involved and increase the understanding and with correct strategy they are good weapons in the arsenal to be used. As in Chakde…Bindiya Naik..
  • In any situation, to win a war it is important to know n understand the enemy very clearly their moves and hence aligning ourselves according to that.The matches of world cup in chak de..were perfect in understanding this.
  • It is not always attacks which helps ,you need to know to defend yourself correctly. As in Chake de, second match of the world cup.
  • Every situation seemingly impossible too deserves a chance.

Chak de, is all about sportsman ship of correct attitude, needed in every aspect of life.

A naughty boy in making....

Time is fleeing soo fast n this naughty boy of mine is showing his full glimpses to catch up variety of things.His enthusiasm level is touching new heights n each day is becoming a new day filled with newer tacts,sweetness,naughtiness n understandings.

So Arsh now a seven month old baby..has learnt to sit on his own.His toddler talk has come to its full potential n he actually talks to us in his marvellous language with full eye contact...hey hey,yaya ya,grr gu ganu gama,ahe ahe ,aaa.His expressions to see something exciting rather colourful is always hey hey hey.....in his loudest pitch.And yes the most sweetest quality of being a jumping jack.Whenever Arsh is in joyful mood he will sit n stand continously...did 45 situps at one go once.I tried and oops couldn't complete even 5 in a row.Since children are bestowed with the super flexible n healthy body..they create marvels.Guess,we too were likewise flexible but may be lost it little(to pacify myself)in usual drums of life n rituals..

Ya this naughty boy is a visual treat to watch when playing..how he will check each n every nook corner of a toy...and will beat it in a characteristic Arsh style.Will leave one toy heading towards another n will complete a round with all the toys in half hour.So poor Ma'ma has to apply
recycling startegy..will show him one toy n then hide it....and after some time will give the same toy...which defintely makes her on job 24 hour.Not to forget Arsh's special inclination to all black remote controls,black pipes( swerage pipes too..yucks),Water bottles,cream boxes and what not.After getting up,he soo energetically prepares to do next line of things....as if every minute is valuable n he should not waste even a single second.And poor me..always keep saying u r just seven months old baby....

I do think parenthood is making me quite innovative n creative too.I get surprised by myself when i try different startegies to pacify him,different games to make Arsh play with the same set of toys.And above all when i narrate insensible stories for which i need to improve n the wonderful nursery rhymes.The lullabies n nursery rhymes which he hears so attentively n gets pacified immediately ending up smiling...making me feel that atleast somebody likes my voice.I know lot are of opinion that he smiles...as it is a kind of request to me to please stop the torture.No matter..i will keep the good work going.. which is helping me to learn n explore newer things each day.

But now, got to be more vigilant as his enthusiasm has started becoming riskier too.He hits himself instantly with lot of things since doesnot know what will hurt him.When he gets hurt ..Ma'ma feels soo bad though she keeps telling herself "You did ur best to take care but certain things are inevitable.His falls will only make him learn."But yeh dil starts repenting.God now i understand why mothers are soo sensitive.

Lastly, the sweetest n the meanest part that I keep telling everybody specially Arsh's Dad ek din sambhaloo arsh ko and then see....to get all the likely advantages...hehe.

The Charmer....




Yup writing after a gap of nearly two months...and on the day when my Arsh has turned five months old.He seems to be getting his senses ..and recognizes and explores all things around.


Wonder how all children follow almost the same pattern of growing up and then become different kinda of individual curtesy the upbringing and the circumstances.

By the end of third month,Arsh had started all his infant talks to his fullest making his Ma-Pa,and others rejoicing the moments.His talks were full of gaya,agu,abu,aaye,gu,grrrr,brrrr,anga.He started tearing papers,and the first time he responded to a book was when i was reading a book and he was watching me.So i showed and he started doing grrr seeing the black letters as if he understands everything.This was the first and last time when he saw a book with patience.Now he loves books , difference being he instantly grabs and tries his best to chop the papers into tiny bits.....the trademark Arsh's style.

And in the third month itself he had started trying to turn.....but used to fail most of the time.It was clearly at the onset of fourth month that Arsh succeeded in his attempts to turn here and there.It started ,as once i was changing his diaper and just turned back to pick something and saw Arsh at some distance .........he had turned and was smiling.And this attempt followed with desperation to turn at eye's wink whenever we lie him down.He started turning but used to cry when didn't know how to come back.But guess this is struggle to realize things.Children keep on trying and trying and succeed one day, followed with newer tasks to be explored and to be learned.
Fourth month was full of Arsh's infant talks to more degree and his newer interest to pull hair not his but others ,chain etc etc.Children grab whatsoever comes in their hand...since they don't trust anybody and hence feel that they can best take care of themselves.So he grabs hair for his protection and makes us scream to say "Arsh don't do this beta,NO..No"and he will keep on smiling and concentrating on whatsoever he is upto,being so oblivious to the happenings.The biggest victim of his hair pulling scenario is his PAPA...curtesy his beard.So both father and son can be seen in a wrestling session when Arsh grabs hair and kamal tries to save himself.

And now Arsh when has become five months old.....his infant talks have improved.Now he kind of talks long and smiles and laughs loud.Has started crawling without lifting his butts.I guess crawling with that frog posture needs energy and Arsh is small for that.So he crawls using his back and does all Ramdev Asan's as his Grandpa says.So flexible that he can put his feet's toe in his mouth and he enjoys his toe a lot.......as if some jam is tucked on it.
But most amazing thing.. is that i when i tell him my woes, and act to be sad or strict..his facial expressions are just amazing.He behaves as if he understands everything and is a responsible individual.
Yes not to forget ......everything is not soo good,good.He will not let me sleep if i'm very tired,and will sleep only when its time for me to get up.Will cry at his own wish without caring ...what i'm upto...and yes will get uneasy mostly when i'm watching my favourite serial...Oof.
But i think this uneasiness are just miniscule to the happiness he gives.Makes us happy and smiling with his contagious and the cutest smile.He is an absolute darling who sleeps by 10.00 in night so i can surf net and read.And the tiny,tiny things that makes me feel that motherhood is the best thing to happen.

Arsh is a big boy now....


Today Arsh got 2 months old...and the month was pretty exciting and now he really looks a big boy ....atleast to me.I was being trained by my Ma'ma to take care of him,increase my patience level and enjoy his newest things daily.
He has started realizing the things around him,and his being potty trained perfectly........he alarms us most of the time.So it is upto us to respond at the right time.Has started watching the paintings,the flowers, leaves, people faces very keenly.His schedule seems to be settled now...atleast in night he sleeps quietly and keeps playing and roaming around in the bed with his eyes closed and his hand in the mouth.So cute...and we keep watching him..so he doesn't fall or hurt himself.His eyes show glimpses of naughtiness and innocence......I think he gonna make us run a lot after him.So m thinking i will put him in swimming classes so his energy gets utilized for our rescue.
And yes the best part....he seems to realize that I'm his Mom..and his eyes keeps following me whereever I go..aah such a special feeling beyond words.

My baby

So writing virtually after one month after my baby's arrival.Yup everything has been damn busy..me recovering and the baby adjusting to the new world.Oh now i wonder how come people manage so many kids......God my baby..i mean Arsh sleeps all day and gets up in night when everybody plans to get to their respective beds.Now, everybody at their toes trying their level best to calm him down...and then getting proud of their tricks that see he knows me well..thats why responds.
But yes he is an absolute pleasure that whosoever comes home...his/her first task is to wash hands and play with him.And he got so many names at such a tender age noni singh,dakanu,babuji, monko,ginni ...and the list goes on and on.His innocence,smile,and cuteness makes me feel that wow......the almighty gives us such a tender, raw thing and slowly with utmost patience and persevarance we need to shape it into a responsible,confident individual who is ready to take on the world.
On his development front, Arsh has started smiling a lot and crying with this pecular anga anga style.I don't understand what is this anga??? and when we talk to him in a childish language he responds as if he understands everything.And makes funny faces,and gives really weird smiles.But what is more funnier is how we talk to him.......everybody is dispalying their best childish behaviour and addressing each other the way Arsh will talk.He defintely has changed our world....for good.

New Beginning

Currently, enjoying my maternity leave.The pampering of famili and friends,trying to reschedule my life again since after a week i will have a major responsibility to take care of.Right now,its all planning and planning to take care and adjust my life style with the little bundle of joy.Making my mind clear of lot of aspects.I'm realizing that their are few traits which I like my child to be bestowed of :
  • Like I want my child to be a good human being.Humble and respectful to others regardless of age,gender.occupation.In due course of time....I realized the importance of this trait.
  • Not to loose his/her innocence during childhood.
  • Most importantly,should be sensitive enough to take care of others feelings.Earlier,i used to think that my sensitivity is my biggest problem,and thats why i have been hurt so many times.but one thing i have realized in due course of time..that my sensitivity is one of my strengths.I can relate to people easily,i can always try to put myself in their shoes and act.Think twicely before hurting others .But with this should learn to not to let it be weakness for others to take advantage of.People behave in ceratin ways because they r not sensitive enough to understand those issues.This thing I will try to inculcate ............

Rest I will let him/her be herself and enjoy life to maximum.But will surely try to be the parent as my parents have been to me.....supportive,disciplinarian during my childhood,friendly when we grew up and they always showered their unconditional love.

But abhi God daily i have some problem.Kabhi backache,kabhi legs mein pain,and itchy PUPP allergy and scream when i see myself in mirror...itna weight kaisee reduce hoga.And baby's constant knocks..........bahar aaja then i will tell u.
