For no rhyme or reason!

The weakening sun is stronger
Than the strongest moon........
The narrowing river is wider
Than the widening stream.....
The wilting flower smells sweeter
Than all the thorns in bloom........
& dying hope is livelier
Than the living dream.

What's up in June 2010?!

Just had a holiday to the Foothills of Himalayas...
My grandmom's place...
A little village, all greenery... & even has a river to boot...
Went off with little A, all by myself...
Am very very proud of myself..
mightly pleased too.

back to home,
& daily life.............

Okay here's a tough answer..
Me: Name three fruits!
Little A: Mango Shake, Milk Shake, Aam...

Aam is Hindi for Mango!

Sometimes life just sucks!

There, feels good to have said that.
Very very very good.
Damn good. Can't express.
So what got me feeling so blue?
It's summer, high summer, & I want a holiday.
I don't want to work 24 by 7.
I'm not a worker bee... could I be clearer if I wished?
But who cares?
& then because you do everything, folks think you are one big piece of entertainment.
See, she want's a holiday.. he he.. Doesn't my sense of humour rock?
I swear today I'll travel, & alone..
& I'll take no one with me.
& this may take years to come true, oh but it will!
Noting it down, just so I can so!ay one day I told you so!

April 2010!

Random things about April 2010 & me!

* I feel the heat is drying me from within..
* Staying at home is more work than you would immagine..
* I'm reading "May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss?"
* Little A just won't recover from her stomach infection, as my mami put it, this heat is the party season for the bacteria- janta (bacteria-folks)!
* Not knowing how to drive can sure dry up your drifting out of home tendencies!
* An personal outing got cancelled, because of my city being likely target for terrorist bombing.. & all I wanted to do was spend some hard earned money, the hard work is huzband's, the money mine!
* I got my first pair of sunglasses, & realized, that eye infection can be the eye opening cause for new style statements.. whatever!
* I love the word whatever, makes vaugeness cool & chic!

Diggy nose... aap kahan karte hain? (Where do you do it?)!

Little A has developed an obsession with her nose..
as we say in our household:
"No diggy nose, hira nehin milne wala hain"!
(You aren't going to find a diamond!).

Realizing that this new passion of 3 yr A, is not going to vanish,
I made a blanket rule for her:
"Diggy nose only in the bathroom"!

While shopping at the market place, little A observes a man with an itchy nose & remarks:
"Barelog bahar karte hain, chote log andar karte hain"
(Elders do it outside, litl ones do it inside).
Not quite getting her I ask: "Kya?" (What?").
She points at earlier mentioned man & says:
"Diggy Nose"

I qauickly walk off with her!

Onions, are you the Mom in Law?!

This is one quote coming from my helping hand at home:
"Didi, pyaz sabki saas hoti hain, sabko rulati hain"

"This onion is the universal mom-in law, makes everyone cry!"

A lot of water under the bridge! From working mom to SAHM!

Last when I was posting here march 4th 2010,
the husband was away on customer visits,
& me was handling baby, home & office!
The water works if I please to call it..

Now I'm staying at home, have quit due to various reasons,
the husband is working from home, due to a bone injury..
the daughter has started formal school..
& life goes on.
The fire works if I please to call it..

& I can never thank my lucky stars enough that I read a few blogs before this transition..

Those posts written by women I'll never know,
made this transition smooth & even a happy one!

My personal ovation to all those who dare to live life beautifully no matter what!
