So much marble?!!!!

Exams are done with !! And now I feel lost :(

Stress levels were high...No! it had nothing to do with studies...but it had everything to do with food, kids and their silly antics.
Don't know what it is that exams make out of them....seems like there is a hollow pit in their non-existent tummy. Normal days, they are full even before the food is placed in front of them., but come exams and they are hungry! All the time.

They start studying, and they want a break !!! They want something to eat, and whatever is offered, is not what they want..hrrmppfff. I know i'm ranting...but knowing that i've cooked and cooked , makes me growl..but of course, it doesn't show on them. Kids...Such sweethearts, I accept.

Sanity levels were dipping. The lil one was trying hard to write out a revision paper given by the school. It was a photocopied version, so ,but naturally very low on quality ( what do you expect if, 100's of copies have to be made !!), so some of the lines were faded and some were not visible at all..My young one, was trying hard to write, hard because, he can't sit in one place for lengths...and I mean 10 minutes max..!! so while he was furiously finishing off some illegible words, I turned around and asked him, why his letters were looking so sad :(.

He turned back to the sheet, peered into the paper and said ' Letters, why are you sad?"
I'm still waiting in silence, the giggle suppressed.

After a few seconds, he turnes back and says " They are sad, because they have no lines!!

"I say , " Oh! oh...thats bad, we need to cheer them up, lets give them some straight dark lines.."

He very smartly said.." its ok, they don't mind, let them be!!"
And here I am wondering if exams turn them into jesters...but one things for sure, there's never a dull moment when kids are around!!
Holidays have started, and its a long long one...Am taking off to Delhi, visiting my sister, and trying to show the kids all the handiwork the historical characters, dished out , just so that the generations to follow, have a way of spending their much loved vacations...Taj!! here I come!!

Cricked neck! and hoarse throat!!...

Have heard of so many one liners in my life…I’ve forgotten how to make long sentences…one would think…nah!!! Not me…Chatter box, restless clown that I am, gave a walkover to my throat and my neck.

Yes, feeling miserable was a small word for me…
Each time, I turned to do my umpteen chores, the neck groaned and refused….and when it was time for the vocal chords to do their bit, they died down on me too…How could I screech and moan, and groan…I was sounding more like some kind of a sore throat buffalo…aaawww

But bright spots do happen…
I get a wonderful call from a great person…and sure did lift my spirits. Thanks Ziah. You sure made me smile.

After a few days of not having my own system to log onto… ( hard disk crash, can be mean to us…) I finally found my way through to the blogs I always have to read…to find a lovely post by PS…yes, it has shaken her up, so I’d really wish that she gets to the bottom of it, so she can continue to write freely and post more such lovely posts.

My morning starts and I know it does have to be good…why not…I see TA highlighted and she gives me such great laughs, and shares most of my idiosyncracies, that I step out feeling as normal as ever…
Isn’t this world a great place, …yes it is…

And when my dear animator friend “Hells Angel” (did I tell you, one of the movies he worked on , just won the OSCAR), decides to spare his injured back and ingest my nagging… only to remind me that nice friends do exist, I look forward to more sunshine days.


Yes…its as good as I can think of it as…and the umpteen radio stations do…
They finally churned out a great peppy number for me and ensured I never stopped smiling….
Here goes..





And now before my whole world comes tumbling around like in a roller coaster called exams,I’d like to wish all you great friends out here…and tell everyone “HOW SPECIAL EACH ONE IS”
