Moving towards my sixth month of residence in USA, and now having lived in both big city and small town America, I can safely say that Moscow, Idaho, is a wonderful community to live in. I confess I am still homesick often enough, yet I also know that I will cry buckets when it will be time for me to leave everyone here and return to Delhi. Friends make your existence wherever you go, and I have made some truly special ones in Moscow. Happy birthday, Stella. Yes, you did turn four today!

Birthday Wishes to lil Stella, she is so sweet..........and pics are lovely.....so u had another party today......sahi hai.......khub khao :D
and we will cry buckets too, with no one to direct our indian feasts! your friendship has made moscow a little brighter for us too, s. thanks for coming tonight, for sharing a bit of our lives.
also, if we had known you would be publishing pictures we might have brushed stella's hair or washed the self-inflicted "snake tattoo" off her arm. she's a little more charming cleaned up, but, hey, she's four now and her new mantra has become "you're not the boss of me." if you want her, s, she's yours. :)
Yoohooo! Birthday wishes for Stella! She is adorable!
I remember yelling, "I turned 18!" and subsequently "I can apply for a driving license!"
Not that I use it though. :-/
birthday wishes for stella :)
Happy Birthday, Stella!
@Brittney
Stella looks charming in those pictures. And, Sayan is directing indian feasts? You must be kidding!
@Rohit
Stella is four years old! She is supposed to yell "I turned four". You are in your late teens, for heaven's sake!
@ Subhadip Da
Yeah...but I think you didn't notice that the reason for that was my driving license. :-/
@subbu sir
its ok, he can act like a 4 yr old few times :D
Belated Happy Birthday to Stella!
She is very sweet. Hope u enjoyed yourself at the party. What did u have?
Belated Happy Birthday to Stella!! Hope this 5th year of her existence turns out to be the first in a series of wonderful years full of love, life and laughter (why do I feel that this reads like an Archies card!)
The pics were too nice. She looks really, really cute in the bottom left picture, what with that expressin of hers. :)
And Sayandi, you sure do make lasting friendships wherever you go. *bows*
how very sweet..such an adorable little age and so without any coyness...you give a big goft they love you...
Happy birthday Stella...you are really a sweet darling
@ D
Aaj mere ghar mein party hain. Aur aap invited ho.
@ Brittney
You are so incredibly sweet. I AM going to keep Stella with me for sometime at least. You know as and when I get my own country, everyone will have to wear red. And given Stella's love for red, she is the most ideal candidate.
@ Rohit
That's ok. I yell with joy at each of my birthdays. It makes complete sense to me every single time.
@ Mayuri
Thank you.
@ Subhadip
What makes me incompetent as the navigator of Indian feasts? Do tell! Grrrrrrrr....you have never even had anything made by me...how can you judge!
@ D and Subhadip
No one yells at Rohit on my blog.
@ Butterfly
Yes, Stella is very sweet.
I had strawberry cake and strawberry icecream. Homemade and to die for.
@ Swetank
That's a sweet message. I am sure Brittney (who has been following this post) is reading this and smiling.
And incidentally, that's my favorite Stella picture as well. :)
And I accept your bow in all humility. :D
@ Kanu
True. Wish we could all retain that simplicity and frankness.
D and Dada
SayanDi ka reply padha, bey? *breaks into deafening evil laughter*
ohhh that is so cute!
"Navigator of Indian feasts" - you see the problem here?
I would rather have an executive chef supervise any feast and have a navigator find the way for me when I go on a hiking expedition.
belated wishes for little cutie stella
oh she's so cute!!! :-D
Belated happy birthday to Stella!
Turning 4 is special and having such a cool party to celebrate is just awesome!!
@ brittney - stella looks perfect just like that!! a comb would just stump her style!! and a snake tattoo!! :-D well we know now whom sayantani can approach finally when she wants hers!!
@ sayantani - what directing do u do at these feasts??????? sounds intriguing!! :-) who's cooking and what??? are there lots of kadhais bubbling with hot oil and jalebis or handis overflowing with fragrant biriyanis?? do u have a dais to stand on and what happens after you wave your baton?? do let us know!!
Really cute kid! Belated wishes to her. :-)
And there's fuchsia in the pictures.
@ Rohit
Are you still laughing your evil laughter?
@ Komal
:)
@ Subhadip
Hmm...now I am enlightened.
@ Burf
Thanks.
@ Keka
Oh, nothing half as dramatic as that. We just get together and cook Indian food...that's all.
And you bet, I AM going to turn to Stella when the time comes for the tattoo.
@ Richa
Yes, Stella is a doll.
And lots of fuchsia in this post as you noticed. :)
you are all so sweet to wish my daughter so many happy birthdays! fuchsia is the color of one of stella's bedroom walls. the other 3 are turquoise, chosen by stella and inspired by a trip with her father to mexico.
@subhadip:
in fact sayantani's skill in the kitchen has become something of a burden around my household. my husband, spoiled by one particularly succulent indian meal, has raised his standards. now he thinks that everything i cook should be equally as tasty. honestly, he keeps saying "can we ask sayantani over for dinner again tonight?" apparently my hot dogs and potato chips just don't compare. :)
@ Brit
:D
Can you please tell Andy that currently I love him the mostest?
@ SayanDi
Humein to kabhi nahi khilaya tha bey! x(
Anyway, I'm still proud of you. :D
Happy birthday to Stella even though I think this post is old now!!! So hows life treating you?
srry i m late but like to wish stell ..:)
Wishing u loads of happiness in life Stell and she looks so cute with her golden hair :)
