(Killing) Two birds with one stone!

This blog is like Esquire's 'Funny* joke from a beautiful woman' where * implies that not everyone would find this joke funny. The only difference is that its a true incident and also is about beautiful women (blondes actually). For a change, the joke is not on blondes. Quite the opposite. Its on a dark haired, dark, short guy with a dark mustache. And did I say he is a brainy MBA from a top ranked school. Lets call him Homer to protect the identity. BTW, all main characters of Saransh are taking a break-sleeping actually. So, I am breaking the first (and only) rule established in the previous blog of not being family related. But rules are meant to be broken.

Anyways, coming back to our funny incident, this happened at a business lunch. We were 10-12 people sitting around a big table eating Thai food. Among them was Janice, a tall beautiful blonde in her late 40s who was our office manager and Catherine who was not-so-tall, beautiful blonde around the same age who was our corporate lawyer. In an attempt to have a good lunch time conversation, Homer asked Catherine why she did not have a website about her law firm on the Internet. As Catherine was about to reply, someone at the table blurted out teasing Homer "But what were you looking for on the Internet? You thought she would have her pictures?"
I was thinking to myself how could anyone have the temerity to say something so cheap. Homer probably thought the same too. And with a dying urge to say something witty replied, "Why would I look up Catherine's picture on the Internet? If I wanted to, I would look up for Janice's."
Taa daa...

First Blog Ever!

I was looking at some old pictures and could not believe how different Anoushka looked and behaved (as a baby ofcourse!) and then it occured to me that I need to pen down all the funny incidents before they get washed out of my memory.
And what better way could there be other than blogging!!

Anyways, so here I am hoping to capture all the beautiful moments I spend with my GORGEOUS daughters!
Here is an intro to the main characters that you will see--
Anshu- 'THE DAD' who is always preoccupied in his complex world of transistors and flip flops. He gives periodic interupts like, " I love you!" and "You are so beautiful" while most of the meaningful conversations are carried out between the other characters of the play.
Anoushka- 'The STAR' is perpetually the center of attraction and around her the entire world (or the house) revolves. Wonderful toddler imagination coupled with her ingenious wit and queen's elegance provides most of the content for this blog.
Sania- ' The ADORABLE' cute little baby who does not really have much say in the wordly matters but sure does has unusual temper and has the everyone wrapped around her little fingers (which btw are inside her mittens!)

Renu-'The MUMMA' is me ofcourse! Whose multi tasking, juggling, time sharing, time slicing, frequency hoping and Code division multiple access multiplexing techniques fail flat on the face managing every day. The last one on her long prioritized list is 'resource starved' leaving dark circles and unkempt hair!
Anyways, so here we are!
Nice meeting you and a big Hi! and Welcome to my blog!
