Celebration of Life with
 "Vijaya Wangmayee"....

It is not with exaggeration that I say this...

It took more than 48 hours for me to share the key strokes from my heart, and share the most memorable day of my life, of course, for my family. No sooner the celebrations ended on 14 June 2012, my heart started beating fast.., asking me to hit the keys on my Laptop, and record each and every moment happened on that day... 

All the last one year, while me and my wife were busy watching the little one doing something new every day, feeling happy - whenever she smile..., worried - when ever she cry..., surprised- to see her develop emotions  like anger, disgust, fear, happiness, trying to make her feel happy with warm hug,....

  14 June 2012 happened to be day with the lunar calendar (Panchangam) showing "Bahula Dasami - Jyestham" ...

Like every other parent, we too waited for the special day to come, and planned it as much as we can. 

Being lucky to have many good friends around (special thanks to Uday, without whom it would not have been possible)..  and taking all the suggestions from them, we planned the party at Indian Mirchi @ Docklands. Also having a long weekend before week in the name of Queen's Birthday, we had ample time for shopping. Visited the Party shop at QV market, and ordered Helium balloons and bought other decoration items. While all the way, it looked simple, the day turned out to be the most busiest one. 

Here is how it started:

Planning, re-planning, and expecting to be at the venue early, we ended up reaching at 4:30 pm in the evening. 

In no time all friends residing at nearby homes joined us to help decorating the venue.  

Thanks to families of Maddy, Ravi Kiran and Sudheer Vamsi to be with us at the crunch time and making it very grand. 

With kids worried at balloon blasts every now and then, with discussions on placing the posters, balloons, the whole 1.5 hours of the day brought the rythm that is needed for the party to start. The venue would have been a bizarre if they would not have come. Thanks to each of them.

With such beautiful decoration in place, without the guests and their wishes in place, it would not have been grand or at least to call it so. 

Having all the friends around and as they showered the wishes for the little one, we have cut the cake and let her taste the sweetest moment of her life. 

Thanks to all my near and dear who made it and been with us all the way. 

To make this blog readable and short enough, I would prefer to hold my breath typing all the names and my association with them. Here is the the glimpse of it which makes me very proud... 

All credit to my wife, Sunitha, who took lots and lots of care in getting the e-invitation prepared and sending it to all invitees, and double checking with me if I have rang them personally... 

As our little one turned"1" and made us feel "1", would try our best to carry all your wishes for making her "1" in every moment of her life  !!!

With lots and lots of love,,,, signing off for now...
