My First Time ....

The word 'My first time ' flashed upon lots of pleasant and unforgettable memories starting from my childhood.It reminded me of my first day in school , my first friend , first attempt to ride a bicyle , first participation in competition , first time maths quiz competiion on stage in grade 9 , first won first prize in a rangoli competition with my friend Revathi in grade 8 ...we drew mirror image of Tajmahal in yamuna with sunset effect. My consolation prizes in a Tamil Speech Competition and Olympic games themed drawing competiton. 


My first day in Kindergarden was the most wonderful day in my life , the day when i met my close and best friend , Anis Fathima .We studied together in the same section , same school till 10 th . When , my parents thought of changing me to another school for 11th , i felt totally void but to my surprise she too told her parents and got admission in the new school ...back again same class and same section .She is my first ever friend...this is our 28 th year of friendship . 


Then , i would love to share my first cooking experience in Grade 7 , i remember to had broken a dosa ladle of my grandmother's while flipping of Wheat Dosa with my newly married aunt,who doesn't know cooking at that time . We both were left alone in the house and was asked to make dinner.


 My first meet with my hubby on feb 6,2005 in my house . We were allowed to talk with each other separately but to our surprise , the room entrance was guarded by my aunt and grandmother...we both burst into laughter....


 The most happiest and blessed moment happened during my seventh month of pregnancy for my daughter , the first kick of her in my womb..first touch of her legs in my tummy....we were so excited and overwhelmed with tears to see and feel the movement of my daughter.For my second pregnancy , we were expecting a son , to have a lovely prince brother for our princess ......the first look of my son just seconds of his birth with the umblical chord still intact.....doctors said 'Mr.Nagarajan and Mrs.Shama..it's a baby boy '......most memorable seconds of our life. 

And my first time happiness continues ...as first kiss and hugs from my kids , first murmered words.....first day calling me 'Amma' , first gift from my hubby a diamond pendant,my first interview ..........continues......
