I am extremely greateful to GOD for everything that is happening in my life.
I had gone to kutch on 13-Dec-10 and came back on 16-dec-2010.

I had fantastic trip to Kutch Bhuj where I had gone for a religious function for my mama. But I got time to visit white rann of kutch, india bridge, black mountain (kala pahad) for the first time in my life.

I had that wonderful experiece of first meeting my dad's side of cousins and then my mom's side of cousins. I enjoy people.

I had a beautiful journey where i met a couple who became so friendly that they paid for my transportation to home.

Had a wonderful experience of doing shopping of list of things that I wanted to buy in just span of less than 1 hour.

Enjoyed meeting lots pepole from bhuj as well as suthari. It felt good to get recognised. This started with the hirachandbhai at station who has come to pick me up for hotel.

Thank you GOD for this wonderful experience.

My Spectacular Birthday

Dear Friends,

 

Last Saturday was my bday (20 Nov). This year I had chosen to have a spectacular bday.
My birthday this year was double bithday as my birthdate using western calender and Indian calender fall on the same day. (This is a rare combination).

My bday celebration actually started one week back as my middle sister Falguni n her son had come to us and my youngest sister alpa decided to join the family along with her husband.

It was made more joyous by presence of my cousin bharti and my very very special niece Shardhha. Ofcourse my dad is always there. Alpa made special cake for me (this was made after lots of years as i used to prefer other sweets for birthday but i missed cakes as my sisters no longer celebrate their birthday or 31 dec here at my home now when we used to make cake.) This was very special for me,.

 

On the day of my bday, a day before got a very warm email greeting cards from bhartididi in USA and couple of friends, the fun started 5 minutes before 12 am at night where one of my nephews from nimach called me up while his brother sent me my first sms message. Before that couple of friends had wished me orkut, facebook and on email. Then my sister Alpa and her family called me. In the morning I got up early as i wanted to meditate at the time of my birth which is 6.19 am, and just when my meditation was about to get over, my very close friend sulbha called me up at 6.30am to start the amazing day.

 

I was amazing to get lots of calls, smss, wall posts n orkut scraps on my special day.

 

One of my bhabhi called and sang me happy birthday.,... Thanks swatibhabhi.

 

Last but not at all the least, i got the one and only card from one of my very special friend Sunita and the cutest and best gift and one and only gift I got from her daughter Swati. This is a very special gift not only because it is THE ONLY gift i got but also because it was a very small cute teddy bear which she had won as a price and wanted to gift it as a present to me. WOW this was amazing gift from a six year old. I was so much moved. Still I am promised one gift from her elder sister who was not able to make a gift for me and was so unhappy that i felt touched. Infact today she called me told me she will get the gift tomorrow so Shruti, I am awaiting your gift eagarly and i know I will love it the most like your sisters. Sunita and family love you all for just being yourself.  and thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

 

Finally the last birthday call I got was from London from my one of very special close friend Rashmi....

 

 

It was a very wonderful day. Thank GOD for giving me such a spectacular day where lots of my family and friends wished me, greeted me, made me feel special.

 

I am really grateful to all people who love me for what I am. Thank you.

Last Few days for which i am eternally grateful

Dear GOD, I had created this blog with intention of using it as a daily gratitude book but I was not able to follow it through.....

Last few days after Diwali were very hectic as my two awesome sisters and a cutest nephew had come to my home for few days ... My sister Falguni along with her son MAulik was there for about 6 days and my youngest sister Alpa was there just one night and one day....

It was time for sisters and family bonding.... We had some much of fun.

• We went to Ranibaug (Zoo in mumbai) and had so much fun and best thing was when we were returning. I asked MAulik who is 3.5 yrs old to say which animal did he liked the most and his answer was Penguin ...... LOL.......... as Penguin is available only in the form of dustbin at the zoo....... (I mean dustbin are of penguin's shape).... Though he enjoyed looking at monkey, crocodile, hippo, rhino. He also enjoyed playing in the park.... This was after so many years I had visited mumbai Zoo.
• We visited Gateway of India and had gone for a ferry ride which was also fun due to high tide too. Gateway at night is a wonderful site to treasure.... Had lots of fun.
• We also visited my mama'a place in versova. I went and just worshiped sea that I love. Versova beach is a few steps away from my uncle's home.
• Prepared some specials dishes favourites of Falguni. It is exciting to cook for people. I miss this. I love cooking but currently with only me n my dad at home, there is not much to try new things. So I enjoy when people are around and then its worth the effort it requires to cook special dishes.  Though its really boring sometimes when u had to prepare lots of rotis etc as now with only 2 people the practice is gone.... :) But I always enjoy preparing special dishes..
• Its always fun watching kids grow (esp younger ones like Maulik and Krupali and lots of other my nieces and nephews and my friends kids).
• and fastest was the time that went when these people were around... 

Heres my heartfelt thanks to universe for these wonderful moments in my life.

My Gratitude Book

Dear Friends,
There were times in life when I was so much a cribber.... (There are still very few times when i crib sometimes, hope this will end soon). I used to crib a lot.
Now I have realised the power of gratitude. One of my guru Dr. Sneh Desai explained "What Is Prayer?" Generally we ask GOD for what we want. So what is difference between me and a beggar. A beggar asks from me/everyone and I ask from GOD. He explained how to pray by a story.

He told us a story of a group of Sadhus and their guru. These sadhus always use to go to village to get something to eat and when they come back they show it to their guru and guru will tell them to pray and thank GOD for their food and then eat. One day sadhus came back empty handed and went to inform their guru about the same. Guru told them to pray. Sadhus were surprised they told why to pray when they didn't have anything to eat. Guru told them that they should thank GOD because GOD knows whats best for them and he gives them and today they were better off without any food and fasting was the best thing for them for that day and so GOD has given them fasting.

This was an eye opener for me.

Now before end of the day I thank GOD for at least 5 things during the day for which I am grateful. Also I was told to write list of things that I want to make it happen in present tense. Begining each sentence with "I am so grateful for ...." or similar words.

In this blog I want to do this on regular basis. I am thankful to GOD for this blogging facility which be my Gratitude Book. I am thankful for each and every event that has happened in my life as these events have made me reach this point today. I am also really very very greateful for all the people  who were, are and will be part of my life as each and eveyone is special. I am also really thankful for each and every things that were and are and will be there in my life. I am thankful for everything(Vastu,Vayakti and Paristhiti)

Thank you GOD.
