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 But few found the name outdated.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.

2 Happy faces with their bundle of joy...

Do we have to say the words.............?

Anybody can feel how happy we were after having you in our arms.

There's a secret!

Daddy never enjoyed being with any child. He always ran away from kids. But when he had you in his arms he was in the cloud 9. He was very emotional to see you... his own blood n flesh in this tiny little pouch.

So this is how a day changed our lives totally...........

Welcome to our lives sweetheart!

We came back home the next day... morning.

My little angel

It was 21st of September 2008…..
5:04 in the Sunday evening,
you were born in Central Private Hospital, Sharjah.
















You were delivered before Dr. Minu Mathur (My gynacalogist) could reach the hospital.
Your weight: 3.2 kgs.
Your height: 53 cms.

Crying couldn't be sooooooooooo pleasant!!!!!! isnt it?

A Face to our blessings

Whole day was so weird, restless as if someone is trying to say something…. But what? who?.... I could not understand. I had a very bad stomach ache. I had an ice-cream to get distracted... hehehehe... daddy always used to stock it for me. But things were getting worst.

Your Dad was busy with Nanu & Nani's visa formalities... He was worried when heard abt my health and fortunately he skipped his office & came back home instead, only to find me trembling with severe pain.

It was just your dad n me wit u inside me. Im sure daddy must have felt sooo helpless but still he was sooo calm & cheered me all the while. I started to scream as the pain got uncontrollable. Co-incidently Nanu & Nani called the same time & heard me scream..... they asked your daddy to take me to the hospital immediately.

We had to rush to the hospital in ambulance…..

Our Dream was getting a face now…….

In an emergency...............There it was our love!!! Our pari!!!

A sweet little angel!!!!!!!! :)

Baike Ceremony on 08/08/08

Nani made so0000000 many nice nice dishes for u!!! ranging from mouth watering
kori roti to chicken sukka, to surmai fry, egg masala to sooo many other side dishes.

My Journey with Anushka

Your Dad and I waited for so many months for your arrival.
Each day was full of anxiety.
In the initial months we wondered if you would be a girl or a boy. We kept trying to feel you, talk to you, sing for you.... bla...bla...bla...

We called you with so many names, wonder if you remeber any??!!
