Recently i was reading an article on 20 things to
do before you are thirty out of those one was -Keep a journal because “You WILL forget more of your precious memories that you’ll
remember, - Quora user "
What this user said is so true, the prime reason i
started blogging was because me wanted to write down all small… big memories of
my day to day life so that one day when i will be an old cranky granny i could read my blog and remember
the gone times all over again.
Its been months that i have updated my
blog (the usual sad sorry) but nevertheless better late than never!!
PS: Hubby and BIL were able to ‘plan’
and execute Goa trip well
Finally..the eagerly anticipated …… …… much awaited trip to my sister and
sister-in-law (SIL) was executed by hubby and me. We met our nieces after very loooongish time,
who btw have changed soo soo much. This trip was special all the more because
we met our nephew for the very first time!!!
It was short and sweet trip with me
and hubby taking whopish 16days of leave of absence from our respective offices.
This trip was special for one more
reason -I had been warned, samjaofyed , advised, requested and god knows what
that I should NOT fight with my elder sis. Well it took a great deal of
determination that I subdued my will to NOT fight with her. Which btw is a
miracle in 30yrs of my existence with her as we can manage to fight while having
most polite of conversations. Ma has always been baffled that on what things we
could fight.
Sample this ::::
A
very long time ago (indeed) when my sis use to be a little girl and I was a
little more little than her, me and she use to fight about anything and
everything. So when ma got us a pair of “identical” trousers, she heard us
fighting ….bewildered she asked me what the matter was as trousers were identical.
Errrr..i said they were “almost identical” as one had a bird imprinted on the
pocket (didu’s) while the other had a
horse that looked more like a donkey was given to me. And the explanation given
to me by my sis (which still has ma in splits) was that because ma thinks I am
a donkey she has given it to me!!!!!
So you can imagine my mom’s worry (along
with my papa, BIL and hubby) of what would happen when me and sis meet after
such along time .But as I said with great determination and super support from
jijoo and hubby I did manage to be with my sis for a week without a single
fight!!
There is one more reason I tend to
avoid fight with her these days which is the fact that she has an
undue…..unfair advantage over me – SHE HAS MY LADDU. She is as possessive about
her mother as I use to be (am) possessive about my sister. So I am assured that
my sister is in safe hands with my laddu with her.
Talking about laddu …she is all
grownup…in-que teenager…and what not!! She is no longer my chotu baby and likes
to be addressed as a kid. While I was there my sis asked me to help laddu have
a bath….during which she asked me a Question “Masi why do you love me so much?” I laughed off her question
saying that because she is MY laddu . But then can I help not loving her !!
i just cannot!! She is and will always
be my bachuu….my bebu….So while I was there for some days she tolerated my
coo-cooing over her but one day when things got over her threshold she was like
masi can you please not do that I am not a baby anymore and you are all over me
…and trust me she was extremely irritated!! So with a hell lot of restraint I
tried my best not to overdo.
This was also the first time I spent
this amount of time with my jijoo and what a blast I had!!!!!! . We had this
daily “coffey with jijoo” routine where he use to give us pearls of his wisdom.
Basically I had anger management sessions with him and hubby use to have
sessions on how to irritate your wife (more).
BTW hubby has had too much of gyan
from jijoo going by the course that he is behaving. He is no longer my sweet
hubby L
So when one week was done and it was time
for our next stoppage a.k.a SIL. I met kishu after a very very long time. And
my-oh-my !!! what a 180 degree change…..she is no longer the tomboy that she
use to be but now a very girly-girly gal. But one thing that has not changed
about her is her energy. Moment she is in house you would know. I use to call
her kishimishi and for some reason she started calling me that and so has ansh.
As my sis-in-law says that I should forget about hearing “Mami” from both of them.
But then who minds (:
I can never forget how upset she was when it
was time for us to pack her bags...even though we are to meet again in June K
This trip was also the very first time
kishu and Laddu spoke to each other over facetime and managed to behave “goofy”
(in their own words) ..Because both are so different I would just love to see
them together and i really hope one day
I do get to see that.
Now coming on to Anshi the great!!!
Well he is such a “Mickey Mouse” (in
hubby’s words) . He is on the stage where is grapping words and learning to
talk in sentences. Me and hubby use to teach him quite a few sentences, much to
the dismay of SIL (No parent would want to hear Atta maji satakli , “Ullu“ from
their 2 year toddler .
Coming on to mickey mouse, ansh must
be his “biggest” fan trust me when I say that.
SIL has to store all episodes of the cartoon on all TV sets in her house
as ansh only watches those. When we were thinking of buying gift for ansh ……..dont
know how many shops me and hubby visited and everyone said the same thing “Sir aajkal kaun bachaa mickey mouse ke cartoon dekhta hai “
The biggest worry SIL has while she
travels to india that if during the super long flight to India if ansh “demands”
to see his “Mikka” what will she do. As a result sof this she has decided to
store all mikka cartoons in her ipad to pacify anshi.
He and Kishu have this particular time
in night when they are in “high spirits” (quite literally) so much so that it was easier for me to digest
all my food as the result of all hahahah hehehehe that use to happen post
dinner…..
To be continued.....
