Life is meant to be cherished, embraced and enjoyed!
Who demonstrates the philosophy better than a baby?
Who can resist the wobbly bundle of joy that makes all the household dance?
In fact you are happy that you are dancing to the small bundles tunes. Who
cries and cries but coos and smiles the moment his needs are satisfied?
Wondering whets wrong with me? My friend Sapana is having a baby and this is
a virtual baby shower that we at Blogging Marathon group have organised for
her.
Enjoy the party and feast on the delicious Dhania Puri and
Spicy Potato Bhaji that I have made for the party from Sapana's space!! They were a part of my daughters tiffin .
