The Coco Chaos!!!!!

Being a mom is truly fantastic most of the time. But some days its makes me want to tear my hair out..and I love my tresses. So what is causing me all this distress? Baby love Coco of course! The little darling has been screaming the house down for the last few nights!!! Every single night, might I add!!! And even though night Ayah, also called Ayah 2 is on call on night, Coco crying wakes me up nevertheless. She sleeps in my room you see, since mummy insists the baby stay close to me, for the bonding of course. I don't mind it really, the darling smells divine and looks like an angel. But when she starts crying and Ayah 2 can't get her to pipe down, it gets me really frazzled!!

I haven't been sleeping very well, which isn't the perfect look for the Diwali season! So darling Dax was most distressed to see the hint of dark circles under my eyes, so being the total sweetheart that he is, he bought me these gorgeous shoes from Chanel!!! I love Dax....he really gets me and knows what makes me tick!!! I am such a lucky girl!!! Especially now that mummy has taken it upon herself to train the ayahs before I go back home to Dax and mummyji and pappaji. Oh didn't I mention I've been staying with my parents since my delivery, Coco is my first baby and I did the traditional thing by having her in my parents house. And it was the best decision I took!!! Nothing compares to being pampered by mummy and pappa. They have treated me like a princess throughout my pregnancy and continue to do so even today! And they just love Coco. But I must go back to my house, to Dax- who misses me so much. Even though I see him every single day, I miss living with my baby!

More later, for now I want to wear my new shoes and sing to my Coco!

Hips (and hipmoms) don't lie

Ronny started school this year and even though he is the most adorable little boy in the whole wide world, I love the extra time that it gives me. I might not be the most experienced mom, but I think that the first three years are the toughest on the mom. Imagine, staying away from my Breezer, supervising potty training and shedding all that baby weight is not exactly glam-sham. But it is over and all my friends tell me how Ronny is going to be a heart-breaker when he grows up. What more can a mom ask for?

So, what am I doing with all that extra time? Oh, loads and loads of stuff. Trips to London for shopping... a girl needs to have the latest couture (and this girl needs her fix of Galliano and Stella McCartney!), meeting up with my gal pals for tulli sessions, more couple-time with Rishi, more time for taash parties and taking up the home re-decoration project again. It has been less than a year since the last round of redecorations and everything is so embarassingly last season. I hate being a shabby mom.

Most moms will tell you that, it is tough to let go of your child. Reality Check: It is not. At least not for me, especially when the letting go means that I plan my world tour with Rishi.

Oh, Rishi is my husband, friend and soul-mate in every sense of the word. When I met him four and a half years back, it was love at first sight. With some help from Tequila, we fell in love with each other's gorgeous good looks. We knew we would together produce a real looker, and so we have Ronny.

I have lived in Delhi all my life and moved from W to L Block after my shaadi. Both sets of parents live in the neighbourhood and are available for baby sitting when I need.

Life is good.

Mommy No. 1!

Okay, so how come no one has thought of making a movie with this title?! Being a mommy is the most difficult job of all, don't you believe anyone who says it is all easy-peasy! Somedays even the stress of managing Ayaji and the Nanny and Mummyji gets to me... and my two precious babies are the ones who make my day by.. you know, just being!

So, who am I?!

I am Rags aka Ragini Seth. I live in New Delhi with my hubby- Nick- and my beautiful babies- Champ (he is a little over two years old) and Apple (she is a little over two months old). And oh, we also share our living space and lives with Nick's parents- Papaji and Mummyji and they are the most awesome (if sometimes tiresome!) in-laws a girl can ask for! I love summers at the Riviera, fall in NYC and winters in saddi Dilli! I am a slave to Lagerfeld and I simply have to, have to own anything and everything created by Marc Jacobs! And oh, I can easily kill for an occasional indulgence of aloo tikki!

Over to my chuddi-buddy and BFF- Tara!

Take it away, babe!

Love AND Labels....Why does a girl have to choose?

A girl can have both you know, just like my 2 BFFs and I do. We do have everything, you know, everything worth having in any case. We have the looks, the pedigree, the good marriages and now what every girl dreams of- beautiful babies!!!

This blog was concieved over a delicious and decadent late afternoon lunch at Wasabi, I floated the idea of having a blog.While figeting with her 3.5 carat Tiffany's princess cut solitaire Tara, laid down some ground rules, since she is the mummy with the mostest- experience- darlings. Her precious baby Ronny is a little over 3 and a total charmer. He is going to be heartbreaker, that one!!!! I am secretly (or maybe not so scretly now:)) hoping to arrange the wedding of my baby Coco with Ronny, just as mine and Dax's was arranged to perfection! So the ground rules are:

• No real names
• No pictures
• No intimate details (We are PG rated, darlings!)
• Blog as regularly as we can

So who am I? Hi world, I am Anya Mehta. I am 24 yrs old. I live in Mumbai...South Mumbai to be precise. I am the wife of a lovely man, Dax, for the last 3 yrs. The most wonderful years of my lovely life! And we had our beautiful daughter- Coco- a little over a month ago, on the 21st of September. I love Paris in spring. NYC in the fall and Mumbai in the rains! Chanel makes my heart sing and Dior makes my heart swell with joy! But no one and nothing makes me as happy as my Dax and my baby girl Coco!

Enough about me..now over to Rags...my part BFF and part relative...
