Nani and we had arranged for Mataji ki chowki... to request Mataji to shower her blessing in abundance, on you!!! It was on the 2nd Feb... held at Nanis house , Bhayander.. You were dressed soooooooo beautifully. No one could resist luking at you for hours and Oh my God the compliments that you were getting from all!

Doddamma and I had dressed you in a cute little holter necked chaniya choli (that was gifted by Ruchita aunty) and loaded you with most of your jewelleries.

THere was this "toli" that had come home for the bhajan..... (all punjabi style). It was so nice.. with hand played music and dance.

Dada & Dadi had also paid their visit on this special day just for you.

We really enjoyed that with Grishm Bhai entertaining you all day long!

As the day was coming to an end the weather was getting more chilly. We had to change your clothes to something more warm and that would cover your body better.

Daddy's little Angel

Cuddly Cuddly Oct evenings with Daddy dear. This was the only thing left for Daddy to do, that was to be with you :-)

1st Month Memories

Daddy would never like to keep you down. Look how he use to take you in the balcony for some sunlight. Nani was also with us, waiting for Nanu to join too.

We had to prepare a passport for you. So we were doing a small photosession of u... ;-D
And guess what!!! you were smiling at the camera. You were only 15 days old then. We also had to take ur finger print, was fun doing tat.

You looked so different everytime I saw you. I love this pic of yours (though you look very dark) you were lying down in such a cute pose.

The Namesake

Now we had to register your name. It was so difficult to select a name for you. We had smsed everybody to suggest a good name. The alphabet that was given to us by an astrologer was "VE" and we thought we will go with Vedika.... But few found the name outdated. Then Nanu told that we can also think of some name with "Ä" and then we started all over again for names starting with A. One afternoon I was watching TV and suddenly I just asked Daddy and Nani how is the name Anushka and bot of them liked it very much. With no futher thoughts Daddy went to registration office and registered your name as Anushka Bharath Jeppu :-)

Thats how you got your name. The same year there was movie with a new actress and her name was also Anushka :) you became famous amongst friends.

I specially made a Name card to send accross to everybody.

Hey, your nail.... tat is

You had such long & artistic set of nails when you were born, I couldn't resisit taking pictures of them too. People call it funny but I still have this to show you...

With Nana Nani

Nani came back to Sharjah again, after you were born. Followed by Nanu. Both were with you for atleast 1 month.

It was such a support.

We got a nice massage person for you (Mumtaj, from Sharjah) , and got you massaged initially under Nani's supervision.
