Happy Birthday Ridhima Didi

28th March is certainly my Ridhima didi's day. She turned 2 today in Jinja- Uganda; where she lives with my Renu bua and Rakesh mama. My papa just called to wish my didi but she was sleeping; not my bua and mama who had to wake up early today to attend those birthday greeting calls from India. My bua was in the kitchen busy cooking "Daal ki Pakodi"-(cutlets made from pulses to mark celebrations or a festival in every Garhwali household). They plan to go to temple in the town later this afternoon while birthday party is in the evening at Hotel Jinja Nile Resorts on the banks of Nile- an exotic location by any stretch of imagination. Pity that I can't attend. Oh yes! I forgot to tell you that my cutie didi will wear a yellow coloured gown that my bua had bought from Dehradun in India last July- now that's called planning for the future!

My Ridhima didi holds a very special place in our household- being the eldest of our generation. So we too will have our own celebrations here in India- My dada and dadee will celebrate it in Dehradun while we will in Gurgaon.

Do watch out for this space in the coming days for the pictures from the birthday party by the Nile.
