It’s been raining nonstop since 24 hours now and while in Europe, I know that would be nothing to be happy about. In this desert state, of India, it’s time for joy.

The sun is on a holiday – which may sound strange to the westerners but is reason enough to party in this part of the world!

Look What The MONSOON Brought In!!!
A Baby!!!
Yes, a cuddly, beautiful, much awaited addition to our family. One of my favorite cousin been blessed with a baby boy yesterday. While babies, are always a reason for cheer. This one is extra special because we’ve been waiting for him for years now. Welcome little one, to our family. You must know you’re the luckiest baby in the world. You have the most special, caring and crazy parents. We’re sure with your dimpled smiles and willful crying you will fill their lives with new hope, love and happiness. God Bless you!
As my name suggests I am a "dreamer" , an idealist at heart and dangerously sentimental. I am also a mom of two, a part time business woman, a book - lover, a stand in decorator for my restaurants ,a movie buff, a social worker by training and a "change-maker". I love traveling, reading and having conversations! not necessarily in that order. This blog is about the conversations! So if you have a moment to spare. Pull out that bean bag, help yourself to a cuppa of your choice and lets chat!

Thanks madhu! Partying in the rain is so refreshing and bound to take 20 yrs off you instantly! Don’t you think???
An uncle of mine was in the service of the Indian airforce. Just before retiring he was posted in Bikaner. He always complained of lack of enough water on phone
.
This post reminded me of those days. This is really reaally good news for all the people over there. Bdw, where are u living?
I live in Ajmer somesh, that’s very close to Jaipur and pushkar! If you’re familiar with them. This time Bikaner has had great rains:)
Yeah, I am! I may have been bad at history, I surely know Jaipur, the famous Pushkar lake, Udaypur marble palace and all those places synonymous with the great name of Ranapratap etc..
Most of my relatives have visited Rajasthan and I have seen those places in photos. I hope to visit those places some day myself.
When I do, I am gonna drop in at ur restaurant for sure 
sure! will look forward to that

Thanks! kathryn. The rain’s still coming, and now everyone here is watching it with baited breath now. there is a very thin line here between a blessing and a curse, if the downpour continues for much longer it may cause havoc. Keeping our fingers crossed! The baby’s all blessing though
and making us all very happy 
Wow. These are wonderful images that brings joy! Beautiful!
Thank you
It’s raining heavily in my hometown, since the moment I arrived here.
