A special day

Like all men, he thinks his mother is the best cook in the world.
Like all most men he also thinks his mother is the most beautiful woman on this planet.

He loves bikes and cars and can identify a lot of cars as soon as he sees them.

He loves Call of duty and is really good at it.He also likes to play Chess.

He plays Football. He also paints pictures.

He loves to read and has read all the Harry Potter books, all the Roald Dahls, most of the Cornelia Funkes. He loves Paul Jennings too.

He also likes doing Science experiments and he finds Math fun.

He clicks the most amazing photographs. I am almost always, delighted with his pictures. See for yourself--I have put together a small selection of pictures that he has clicked. (His favourite subject in people, is me :-) )




He teases his sister mercilessly and also fights with her but will fly like a lion to her defence if anyone dares mess with her. He is fiercely protective of her and 'watches out' for her.


He brings me so much joy when he is around. He explains eagerly to me about 'cool stuff' and about 'guy stuff' that he thinks I haven't understood. He treats me like a buddy, a pal and even teases me. He can carry me too--he lifts me right off the ground and I squeal and tell him to put me down. :-)

Today is a very special day because he is a very very special person--and birthdays are only as special as the people who have them. He turns 12 today.

Happy Birthday Atul!

  33. the lil chess wiz is a big boy now.

    As children grow older, some parents grow younger and become their friends. You are one of them. Atul should be very proud.

  42. Dear all,

    Thank you so very much--from the bottom of my heart for the warm and sincere wishes which you have all expressed. The greatest thing according to me that a parent can hope for is good wishes for their children.

    I really appreciate each and every one who left a comment wishing him.

    I would have replied individually--but it would all have been a repetitive (but sincere) thank you :)



    Nandy, I too loved the background score. It is from a TV series :) I heard it on BBC and downloaded it. Vinoo--i have forgotten that letter! Amazing that you still have it.
    Poppins--every word in my book is true. It is 100% non-fiction--all those incidents I describe they did happen.(I wasn't kidding at all)

    Cheers
    preeti
