A comment brought me back to the blog.. been quite sometime.. haven't managed to get time to write with the current scheme of things.
June 28th : Akshara's first ever homework! I was excited... but yeah it soon died down. It was quite amusing how she could cook up stories to avoid doing the work and had all the question in the world to ask right then! Getting the 2 page homework done once a week can be quite a task. Kudos to parents who get their kids to do the homework every day!!
June 23rd : I was reading a book and she popped an innocent but heartbreaking(for me of course) question.. "Amma.. do you have a tail.. like a buffallo tail.. are you hiding it in you pant?" What kind of question is that and I have no idea what prompted her to ask that!! I so want to peep in to her mind and know her thought process :)
June 15th : I made the creamy , melt in mouth mango cheese cake and it was near perfect. Never mind the calories. The very next day I make a basic(est) dal of Andhra cuisine and it turns out to be a disaster. All I had to do was put the lentils for boiling to get a typical consistency of the boiled mass. I failed.. miserably.
The day I will be sure of my cooking, I will be in heaven (quite literally)!
June 7th : Akki's first day at school, new school, bigger one, while she was ignorant of the life changing event, I was a bundle of nerves. The school routine is more to discipline our lives! Uniforms, socks, shoes, snack box, school bus, homeworks.. its just too overwhelming and too strict a routine 11 years after college!
Waking the lil one up from deep sleep at 6:45 AM seems like the greatest sin I ever committed. Her non stop wails to get ready and get going only add to the guilt. We(all 3 of us!) have never ever before waited for a weekend this badly.
May 29th : Cousins's wedding in peak summer at the hottest place (Kakinada). It was fun, sangeet dancing, mehendi, sarees, jewellery, best part.. the compliment (Groom is your elder brother, right?? haha he is 4 years younger to me yayyy :) ) Was at mom's place for 2 weeks getting pampered silly. Hated to come back .. but yeah had to. I now treasure the days I was at home so much more and so badly need a time machine to live those days back (may be along with akki :) ). Psst ... Secret fantasy : I want to have N in my class in college and have a love marriage :) You get the drift.. :)
So long.. till the next peaceful 10 minute me time!
