THE POEM CALLED LIFE

We still haven't got ourselves a decent place to call 'our' home...because I believe that M's house is 'his' home ...My house is 'my' home ...and Our House is 'our' home...and while a house in the middle of Chennai is quite unimaginable to get hold ..we have been in the look out for a decent apartment...in vain sighhhhhh! Definition of Decent ( Things we cannot compromise on) : 1. Rent within our budget - why are budgets and rates inverse always! 2. A seemingly spacious layout - Get in some sunlight builders and chuck the dingy corridors. 3. Vasthu Compliant - gotya there didn't I :) 4.  No Water Shortage - that's a necessity na. 5. Not on the highest floor and GF or first is best or second is there's a third....The summers of chennai last a year and  if we are outta power its a pain to get grocery and water up...I don't wanna exercise those thin ( I hear thunder) thighs of mine and neither M's f(l)at tummy :D 6. Parki...

M and I were to fly to Delhi on the 2nd of January 2010...But the flight got cancelled because of the fog in Delhi and my trip to delhi stands cancelled..... Am Happy we didn't fly because My Achu didn't want me to go. Though he was excited he was to get a train set when I get back...yeah call it the bait to make up for my absence My Amma who is just recovering from a leg injury consented 100% with energy levels of barely 15% to look after Achu jus because she didn't want her daughter to miss going on a official trip... I love you Amma...:) My Achu singing the welcome song for Granparents day at school and so I have a few days extra to get his costume ready My teeth which needs attention as early as possible....and the monster is getting all hungry yet again...baaahhhhh  My group of friends are organising an event and I am involved in it ..this means I can give in some more time into it My BIL is getting married early next month...one more week added to my I-can-sh...

Any suggestins on how to combat the chill are welcomed from the experienced lot. January second week - This week will begin with Grandparents Day at Achu's school. Achu is singing a song :). Then comes the Mom's event which am looking forward to attend. And will see me doing a lot of shopping personally and with M's family for my BIL is getting married early February. I love shopping and this is going to be fun.Might be some inviting work if its not over when we are in Delhi. January third week - Beautification of our flat, Packing stuff, informing the school that Achu will not be coming for a week, Last minute stitching amidst Pongal celebrations which majorly includes watching TV January fourth week - Sending off MIL, FIL and BIL , getting tensed jus for the heck of it :b, Calling up all my friends and informing I w...

Well it was sunday and it was special since I found my self inclined towards making some puris for breakfast. This event doesn't really happen unless saturday has treated me well... After all the effort and time I had rolled out around 14 - 15 puris for 3 adults and 1 child.... I fried the puris which were multidimensional....Don't know when I will master the art of getting a circular puri/chappathi ...I never tried to master it anyway...who cares...It should fit the pan/tawa..It should cook...It should taste good....that's a necessity...nothingelse is  :) And when I was half done ....a shape jus popped out of one of the puris I placed in the boiling oil that made my girlish mush shriek out....A Heart... A Heart...wow...A Heart... Well there wasn't a soul around....M and achu were fast asleep.....so I picked up my camera phone and clicked the moment....technology I bow down to u...for this moment could not have been cherished if it wasn't for u....:) I ha...

Its almost 2 yrs since we shifted to our apartment and we still haven't furnished it fully. Until a few months back the reason was achu my son. I was a bit scared of putting in stuff that would hurt my active kiddo. Though M thought I was being too careful and overprotective. Now achu has grown and we thought of moving on from living out of a suitcase. M and I shopped for a wardrobe which might be delivered at any point of time (for the past 20 days and the shop's representative has a 'not reachable' status). We received a 'Regret for delay' SMS yesterday. Atleast ...some hope! Yesterday we went to some local furniture shops in search of a shoe rack but landed up buying a dressing table Neat one for the price.When it reached a littke confusin in handling and 'bang' the mirror panel just broke. Sheeeshhhh! Now are we destined to live a unfurnished life or what?????? PS. Will take it as a challenge to furnish our home before the end of this month.....
