Saanvi's Birthday



Saanvi is eight years old today. Time is flying fast and our daughter has grown from baby in our arms to a sweet, tall, intelligent, adorable eight year old. Both of us are very proud of her, she also means the world to her naughty little brother Ishaan.


Saanvi's friends were invited to celebrate her birthday in the evening. As usual she had decided earlier not to accept any gifts.

Fire in the mountain .. run .. run .. run


Boys having fun.


Girls showing off the tattoos.


Eight candles for the eight years.

Traditional Aarti

After the cake cutting starts the cake smearing.

Smile please!. Everyone enjoyed the birthday party, had snacks, danced to the music, played games and went home happily.

In the morning Saanvi went to school in a colour dress indicating she is a b'day girl.

As usual Ishaan is behind akka.

OK pappa is also growing old with increasing tummy size and number of white hairs. I celebrated my birthday a week before with my family by taking them out for lunch.

With lots of hair he is looking cute, we have not cut his hair so that he has enough for a mushroom cut.

Naughty Ishaan.

Ganapati Bappa - Morya






Ganapati Mantap is decorated and ready for arrival of lord Ganesh. Mantap was ordered and transported from Sangli. After assembling Ishaan wanted to sit in it. I made another temporary one for him which he broke in 2 minutes.


We brought Ganapati bappa home in Mohan Mama's new Volkswagon Vento. Everyone was loud this time with Ganapati Bappa -- Morya, Ek don teen chaar - Ganapati cha jai jai kar. etc. Even Ishaan joined in with full energy. Girls complained that Vicky dada was saying mourya instead of morya you cannot escape from these girls.

Pooja and Archana were ready with Aarti to welcome Ganesh.

Ready for Pooja.
