Feels great to not have a neck that will fall off any minute! Back to work after having called in Sick for 1.5 days and feeling good. With me is T, my younger twin, who\u2019s said things like \u201cIt\u2019s okay Amma, it\u2019 not meant to be easy always\u201d or \u201cIt happens sometimes Amma\u201d or \u201cWhy are you talking about this – what is the connection with this and what we are discussing\u201d and \u201cSsssup Mom\u201d when I call to check after the boys are back home. Why do they grow up so fast? Where did the years fly by? Can I go back in time for a day to cradle him in my arms yet again, or bite those gabbu cheeks for one last time, or have him fall asleep on me? He is the resident Pragmatic Soul, the in-your-face logical kid who\u2019ll hug you when you request for it but do it in a jiffy to go back to what he loves doing most \u2013 playing, watching TV or reading. A thorough extrovert, once he decided to tell the Security Guard who was riding up in the lift with us \u201cBhaiyaa, aapke daanth ache nahin hai. Mumma kehti hai ki roz do baar brush karna chahiye. Aapke daanth dekhiye \u2013 peele hain\u201d \u2013 as I wished Mother Earth would open up.
\nThe saree is a gift. For a change it is not cotton and I absolutely love the vibrant colours. This is my mahaaa versatile blouse that I’d be lost without! Love that it has orange, red and green and can be worn with just so many sarees.
\nWhen I was purchasing the neck piece from the Tibetan Aunty (again!), I was all chatting up with this other lady, who was new in the store. Grinning like an ass, I showed her this, (an only piece) and she happily put it in her basket. My heart sank cos I\u2019d fallen in love with it when I set my eyes on it. I whispered to Aunty that I\u2019d taken it first. She smiled, her wise \u201cI\u2019ll take care of it\u201d smile and very politely told the other customer that I\u2019d chosen it. Wearing it for the first time. One of my many loots from her. The silver earrings are from Fab. The chain that goes up the ears is detachable, but I love wearing it.
