Gia is now 3 and a growing Girl

This is much delayed what must have been published on 7th Jan is being written and published now.. No excuses..Sorry Beta!!

Where do I start "Gia Mera Beautiful" or "Tum hi ho Meri ashuqie tum hi ho meri Zandagi" I have never loved a song more than now when i hear you sing this song. I can really see the girl in you grow up every day!! Your love for all things girlie the sandals, the Bindi, the saree and the whole playing i am your mumma. Each day is blessing with you!! I love you so much and love to hear you say that you love me!!

I am growing with you honey and see you change. I hope i am able to keep pace with the changes you bring in. I honestly will try but will need all your support and love to understand you better with every passing year. I realise as you are growing impatient and learning many things. I am getting older, slower in learning and more irritable then before. I hope you forgive me for all the times i have lost my temper and as you say "Please dont scold me Dad" I want to say sorry for all those instances. My impatience and loss of temper is only when i am unable to communicate with you in a manner you understand what is important for you and help you do the right thing. I guess this battle will continue all our lifes and we just have to learn to deal with each other in the most loving manner possible. Today it is for eating your lunch on time, getting dressed on time, not sucking your thumb, washing your hands, some trivial things. Which i know time will heal but worries me everytime is when I see you fall sick. Its those times that i see you lying in the bed with Fever, i feel helpless. It is that helplessness that triggers some of the Anger. But honey please trust my love. I love you so much. Your smiling face is the biggest treasure I have found in my life. Love you tons!! Love you forever!! Papa

Volkswagen Vento Buying Experience

I am not only disgruntled but feel cheated, by the way, Volkswagen dealership (Elite motors) have conducted themselves during the Purchase process. I had inquired, test driven the Vento Comfortline Preferred edition 2013 model with Elite. I had agreed on the sales price and even signed the sales contract with them. Lucky for me before i was making the payment to them I thought of checking the details once again. On my re-check your dealer was cheating with 2014 pricing while giving 2013 car. They were miss leading with the choice of colors available and facts about the car. Today I feel that there is no audit or check by Volkswagen on their sales process and allow cheats like them in the market. I have enough reason to believe that Volkswagen is colluding with the dealers in trying to clear its old inventory at the cost of innocent buyers. I intend to take this to the court if I do not get proper clarification. From Volkswagen all I hear is a pathetic Sorry. I wonder if it was Germany or US will these dealers or can these authorized dealership get away just like that.

The worst part is that there is very little that we as customers can do. The sorry seems such a throw away word with people/companies in India
