Kiddie talks - 29

Like any other day - mean the holiday season - we were scrambled over the bed and were having our bed time talks - as usual poor aathu was glued to his laptop while we were watching television and making fun of him. There comes song sequences at 11pm usually on Sun Music. Me and aathu would be pondering over those songs - usually Illayaraja's hits - would tell P about the hero , heroine and our movie watching experiences - each our own. If it was Rajinis and you can just swear that aathu would go on his favourite ramblings of his first day first show and would mouth the dialogues with exact flair. :)Our bedtime got extended by more than 3 hours since april.

The same routine happened yesterday too . Suddenly P got up and came near me and extended his hand shaking mine saying - Happy new day. I was thrown back and got it wrong first time - somehow we always associate anything to do with Happy and day to the Birthdays and was sincerely trying to recollect the day and was thinking - Illaye yaaroda birthday vum illayennnu..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When he wished me the second time - I got it write . He didn't stop with that and did the same thing to aathu and promptly went to the daily sheet calender and meticulously tore the date sheet. Then only i saw the time and it was 12 am.

And it was really a nice feeling and the good feel continued in the morning too. What a way to start the day!!!!!!!

Happenings

Lets say this year started on a bhakthi note. We have been to temples and doing homams , poojas and what not. Apart from the regular venduthals , we are trying to regularise our so-called-bhakthi-dosage too. In this 8 years of marriage, only recently we had this ganapathi homam at home calling only handful of people. Not that we dont like people around, but i just get jittery at the thought of calling his relatives home. The so-called pathu (procedures - dos and donts during the sacred functions) in serving and doing poojas gives me nightmares. With abundance help from his chithi we successfully crossed the first step. All i did was the basic work and basic samayal whereas she came and took over the sambar and rasam segment. Serving of food portion was unceremoniously handed over to her in order to observe the proceedings. Finally all went well. And to say about the vaathiyaar, he was exactly like the father character(jeeva) in Nanban. Only the cough was missing and also like the character in vaali where he would say to Vivek about his illness. Literally we can count the ribs and bones. Out of affection for aathu, he came and did this homam inspite of his non-commitment policy thesedays.....(aanaaalum comment adikkama irukka mudiyala). During one of the coffee break , P was asking his appa - Ennappa strategic time-out ah!!!!!!!!!!! too much cricket i say!!!!!!

P is having his whale of time with the ongoing holidays which started way earlier. Playing cricket and no classes (his amma had taken mercy and didnt put him behind the bars in the name of summer classes). This is how I used to enjoy during my hols. We would just go home for the food and sleep and nothing else. Would be always either in road or friends place. Though we played varieties of games these kids know nothing but cricket. Boys are always boys!!!!!! They dont realise how much fun they are missing......

Last but not the least......P came on TV last friday. I mean he was part of the choir group which sang on the New years days function in Centenary hall shown live on Jaya Tv. Thought we were given the pass we were unable to go inside due to heavy crowd. So we had to rush back home to catch a glimpse on TV. Though he was suffering from stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea the previous night and the morning, he went ahead with determination. And lo what did the kids get - packed veggie biryani on the d-day and biscuits, juices the previous day - rehearsal.
