Baby of the Week

Dina Shah

``Mere Ghar Aayi Ek Nanhi Pari
Chandni Ke Hasin Rath Pe Savar''
Yes that's my little daughter Aayushi Shah, lovingly called Sweetie, who came into our life on September 1, 1997. Her little feet, with payals, on it fills our home with sweet music when she runs here and there, keeping me on my toes. She is an active and healthy child who can speak words like Mamma, bye-bye. She loves to go out and says 'bye-bye' to her dad when he goes for work. When he comes back she shows her excitement by waving her hands and running to him, to be patted & fondled. She plays with toys and anything which she can lay her little hands on. Her favourite pastime is to put her doll to sleep. When we read the newspaper she too, wants one and pretends to read it.

Her favourite song is ``Phoolo Ka Taro Ka Sab Kehna Hai, Ek Hazaro Mein Meri Behna Hai''

Her brother sings it to her to bring the smile back on her face, especially if she is crying after a tumble from steps.

For her little age she already enjoys the title of ``The most well-behaved infant of foreign tour" from S.O.T.C. (Trip to Singapore, Bangkok Rataya at 8 months). She is a member of the Tiny Tot Club of Indian Express.

Her chubby face and gurgling laughter has filled our home and hearts with happiness. She is the apple of our eyes. May God bless my baby with good health, happiness and success forever.
