Little things that warm my heart

I'm at my office desk, checking emails and getting work done .. and I realize it's time to check on Archu. (Her daycare has this Webcam facility that is viewable online) and it just makes my day .. everyday ...

I mean its so cute to see tots play, there are no rules in their game - each lil one is busy in his or her own world, be it reading a book, or playing at a lego center etc etc. They all line up when its time for outdoor activity - swing, slide etc, you should see the glow in their eyes, so eager and excited, its so wonderful to see them.

And when its food time, or gym time, they line up in pairs or singles, and go to the cafe/gym. Sweet little nothings, but makes me feel so warm. Love you kids, love you Archu !

Situations we wish never happened in the first place, certain periods of time that seemed to pass very slow, like eternity but that will also pass. But there is always a reminder lingering in the mind, i think it is subconcious, and is there to stay in you for as long as you live.

Discovering the 'Roots'

I remember being fascinated by a TV commercial for a website called Ancestry.com. It was a new concept, in 2005 perhaps. I love how in the US, they trace the roots with the Social Security Number and form the family tree. Hailing from India, a country that has existed and birthed generations much earlier that the US; I often wish that our ancestors had some sort of tracking mechanism. I'm glad that the PAN number concept has sprung up in recent times, but nevertheless. How many of us can pin point where we came from? I would love to know though. Many of us have moved cities. Many of us have parents that made the move earlier on in their careers. I know Indians in the US who were born here because their great grand parents moved here in 1950s. I am curious to know more about my Ancestory. We don't have any tracking mechanism such as Social Security numbers, but it would be nice if I knew the profession the men folk were ...
