Resuscitation !!

I had forgotten about this blog (Duh !! How could I?? ) ! Suddenly remembered and felt it needed to be given a thorough dusting and start blogging . It is not exactly very difficult to make a post , if only i could tear myself away from LITERATI.,  that game is seriously gonna be the death of me...:).

Wanted to start blogging from the 15th of August, the kids had a break till yesterday...gave me more time to play lit and no time to dig  this blog from the vast, bottomless pit, the web space !!

Well, it should be at least one post a week, if not a day ! Now that i have given up writing about the unreal music reality shows, hopefully, my time will be fruitfully spent writing in my other blogs.

Cheers !!

Flying food !!!!

I never know when my kids will support me--

I cannot stand  the fan  whirring away at high speed, esp . when it is monsoon time or winter [which  is what occurs on the east coast of India between the months of Oct-Feb !], ok, I cannot stand  any season  except summer.  It is a constant source of  irritation to me , N and Andy need the fan to be whirring  away at full speed through out the year!

One morning,  Doof, my 7 yr old son,  was eating his breakfast [ upuma  ] when N joined him at the table and promptly switched on the  fan. I made a big face as usual and said, please,thoda tho speed kam karo.

Doof promptly looks at N and says--

Appa,  Please switch off the fan, otherwise my food will fly away……..!!!

Call girl !!!

Everything I hear, see, want to put it up on the blog, just sit in front of the computer and the fingers  automatically  move towards the games icon, control hi nahi hota –Aarrgghh!!!

My  two  yr-four  month  old niece Jaanu is a real brat and an absolute sweet-heart! She stayed with us for  more than a month this May-June along with Naanu, her brother. My bro-in-law dropped  them off and went back . It was funny because we just did not know how to handle her , the first time she was away from her parents[scared  she would be scarred psychologically and blah, luckily she still remembers and talks to us regularly !! ] , naanu had stayed with us before, he was not a problem! The best way to keep her happy and  make our selves tolerable to her was by feeding her junk food, which she adores. Madam would wake up in the morning and walk straight to the kitchen and point  to the box containing Besan ladoo. It  used to be a tantrum throwing-battle of wits, physical power and bribery to get her teeth brushed before the besan ladoo binge !!! Once the ladoos were over, it was cakes, biscuits, water melons and mangoes, anything other than Khaana .

She calls us up regularly, insists on talking to me [Haha,terribly flattered!!]. N ,my hubby says the only admirer of mine,who calls me up everyday [ pssst—don’t ask about the others!! ]. I sing songs ,nursery rhymes to her on the phone to make her sleep,  eat,  keep her entertained when  she bugs my sis too much. Generally, we jabber about her school, cakes, ice-creams  chips  etc..!!

During one of her regular phone calls, suddenly andy , my  12 yr old daughter says , Amma  Jaanu is a  call-girl !!

I was like..Whaaaaaaaaaattttt?? What did u say??

She repeats it and  I asked,  Do you the meaning of the word?? 

No is the reply. I explained what it meant and she  gives a horrified sigh and says you know I did not mean it that way.

Promptly, called up my sis to tell her and we had a good laugh, when  Andy interrupts me to ask..

Amma,  Don’t you think Jaanu is too young at 2 to be a call girl…….

AND SO IT BEGINS...

I should have been named Procrastination [came  into this world 15 days late!], soon my parents should have added lazy too and my school records should have read P.Lazy kalyani, just got stuck with Kalyani. Now, you know why the blog also took off so late...

Been planning to blog for past one year or so [with encouragement and  constant nagging from my sis, she is under the delusion that i am capable of writing well!!] went through a few of them on the net, extremely funny and well written, was amazed that folks actually worked hard at bringing out a good copy! My inherent laziness kicked in [  its much more easier to play games at the computer than write!], plus the thought about what to write sent me back to playing Literati  [its easier, i told you].

Writers block, heard about it, never experienced it [how could i??am not a writer!!]. Since i decided to pen a few thoughts, realised what those prolific writers must be undergoing before they come up with a book. Thoughts swirling around your head, can't put a word down, is'nt  there a process where your thoughts get automatically transferred on to the computer or a paper, editing is easier to do!!

Plan to write  whatever comes to my mind, my pet peeves, my whines and my kids, not necessarily in that order........here we go....
