Nauk-Jauk

I have been thinking for a while to list down all the wacky/Funny/Crazy incidents/tussles between us (Hubby and me) and started listing down... and here I am with the most awaited post

?Bundle of Questions?
I agree I ask a lot of questions but expect simple answers, mostly - "Yes" or "No"
My hubby never answers my questions with a Simple "Y/N" it has to be something vague like beating behind the bush or sometimes completely deviates the topic but can NEVER say either "YES" or "No"

Upon that he quotes me "You are a Bundle of Questions" " If you stand for politics your symbol should be nothing other than a question Mark "?""
********

<The Gothilla Guy>

You are watching something in the TV and ask -
Hey what do you think will happen now? Will he die or will be alive? -> I don’t know (Gotilla)
Hey I think she will fall now rite?? ->  <Gothilla>
I think Mom is not keeping well na, I felt so-> <Gothilla>
I think My dad may be sad na, coz he did not speak to me properly -> <Gothilla>
You are reading Newspaper and ask - I guess this move will be a Big Hit -> <Gothilla>

Oh God !!!!!!!! I also don’t know so many things, but how difficult it is to say something else other than <Gothilla>. First of all hubby speaks less n me more, and I will be looking forward for situations/avenues where I can strike a conversation with him and all I hear in answer is this word that I have started to HATE- <Gothilla> Grrrrrrrrr

*********
OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder)

I really suspect my hubby is a victim of OCD, Some of his actions that proves the same are-

Locks the Main door with the keys himself and after locking, pushes the door once, twice,
thrice, four times, five times just to check n make sure if it is closed or not… Then again asks me "Chinni y don’t u check too??" Arrrrrrrrrrrr

When we are done having dinner and are about to leave to our home(downstairs) to sleep asks me "Have you switched OFF the gas knob" No matter I reply "Yes or No" he has to go and check the knob several times and again turn back and say 1, 2 , 3, 4
Finally looks @ my angry face and gives me a GRIN *Grrrrr*

*Alarm Alarm*Keeps the alarm in the Mobile phone and checks it several times before actually sleeping to check if he has kept the alarm or not.. At time it is sooooo irritating…

**Lock Lock**When we are about to fall asleep there pops up his OCD problem - "Have I locked the front door? Have I locked the Back door??" No answer from me… Where is that light coming from?? Oh no Sleeep dear n lemme sleep, The story after this is very simple, He sleeps effortlessly, deep, undisturbed sleep like a "Kumbh Karan" where as I will be tossing and turning around with infinite thoughts in my mind and any minor noise/light wakes me up like this… :P

***********
Cleanliness- Sorry not in my Dictionary,  Car Wash- Did u say something?? Oh I cant hear you :p

          Extremely caring no doubts about it, very helpful and all but one thing which he is bad at and that which needs a hard push from my side is to clean his CAR… OMG the kool RED color Punto (My choice of Car and the color as claimed by hubby) looks almost brown most of the time.. :'(

           Agreed that it cannot be wiped/cleaned daily but why not on weekends??? I am really fed up of asking him to do so, finally came up with a strategy.

My Game plan-  After all the cleaning/washing/cooking I already will be tired and without telling him I start cleaning the car and when he sees me he feels concerned and joins me (It is actually fun coz we fight) he keeps saying u back off and take rest and I keep saying its ok lemme do, I do better than u :) ha ha
*****

Obsessed not with me but his Denims - (who on earth discovered it)


My strong recomendation for his Office Dress code -  Business formals + Tie +Formal Shoes..

Not that I would like to see him in business attire (actually he looks very good) but coz I am so fed up of seeing him in Denims/Jeans.
Hubby's Ideal office dress code would have been a Pair of Jeans (torn also accepted) OR shorts + T Shirt + Chappal (Hawai chappal is his fav)

Most irritating part - 
Daily to Office - Pair of jeans + his checked (mostly Blue) slim fit full sleeve shirt half folded (tapori style)  
@ Home - Same pair continued  
Going out on weekends- Same pair of jeans,  
Gone out for some errands like vegetable/grocery shopping- SAME pair of jeans  
Sometimes in continues on BED tooo if not told/scolded..

He doesnt even bother to put that jeans to wash unless it stinks or unless asked and it may be range from 2 to 3 months or even more for that matter
**********  
Extremezzzz Unlimited 
Like any Unit has its 'MIN Value', 'NORM Value' and 'MAX Value', my hubby can never have Norm behavior his would either be MIN or MAX in all the matters.

Either No Gifts OR Surprises @ all or a sudden shock/surprise/expensive gift
Either not talking @ all OR being Nonstop chatter and talkitive
Either too loving/Caring (oh by the way this is not being romantic coz this word is not in his dictionary) OR just not bothered types..
Either too enthusiastic OR too Boring
Either too Foodie OR no interest in Food @ all
Either too punctual OR tooo Lazy

Why cant he be normal, neither MIN nor MAX just the Norm...????????? 
******* 
His curiosity n my short term memory loss :(

I am a person who b4 watching the movie doesn’t want to know the story @ all n hubby is a complete opposite..

OMG it’s a punishment to watch some movie which I have watched b4 and he hasn’t and doesn’t know the story, Not that I don’t enjoy but coz of his frequent QUESTIONS on what will happen next?? Will he die? Will he not die? Etc etc… firstly I would not want to tell him and destroy the suspense, secondly and the worst part is I forget the Climax of most of the movies, I would remember the scenes but just cannot recollect the climax of the movies… Poor hubby will keep asking, I will either say No or say Cant recollect ha ha wat a fun ;)
**********************

 Games (Card Game/Game in Mobile) 

 Ok here it goes, If I know a game be it a the card game Rummy or a Bubble breaker on Mobile I would be in full josh to teach him on the other hand he wants to learn the game by himself in his own pace… Why cant he listen to me and learn form me??? I would love to teach him but he is not ready to :'( OK agreed he will want to learn by himself, my hands will be itching to teach him seeing him struggle but he completely refuses to take the tips, clues form me, Poor me :'(  
*******  
Forgot my B'day??

You like someone from your school time but never told her, you met her again in Engineering, 2 years in between (11th and 12th) you have missed her and claim that you have remembered her each day and you have forget her B'day…..
Is this acceptable??
His answer-  A person loves her so much, remembers her each day and missed her and he forgets to remember one day which is her B'day and that’s it all gone?? What's it in a date when he remembered her all the time?? Sounds Filmy isn't it??? But this is what my hubby had told me in engineering when we met again after a gap of 2 years and had forgotten my B'day…
Actually I was completely Impressed and flattered by his dialogue.. Now when I think back I feel- How can you forget my B'day????

**********
Torture with Dates???

Hammm this is one of my Game plan to torture him... ;)
My only question would be - "Do you remember whats special today??"

Hubby gets all tensed and gives work to his brains, racks his mind to find out whats the importance of that date. Is it B'days- No, Marriage Anniv- No, Love Anniv- No, DOJ the company of one of us- No, Date that I had travelled to UK- No, Date I returned to India- No…..

Series of such incidents keep flashing in his mind and for one time in life I will keep him busy thinking about us and believe me it gives me immense pleasure to tease n tortur him... 
You call me "Krrur singh" or saddis, I dont mind I just love it.. :)
Troubling n teasing him and finally blackmailing him emotionally saying "How come you forgot this very special day" ??
Hubby is not any less coz he has his own  Counter Plan- As soon as I ask him the importance of the day, he immedietely says, You first tell me whats the improtance of tommorrow, I know it but you tell me…, even b4 I deny that there is no relevance, he says"Oh chinni, how come you forgot this? It is so Special to us" Grrrrrrrrrrr

**************

This is not THE END, I am sure I shall keep visiting this blog @ regular intervals to update ;)

Roadies 8 - Shortcut To Hell

It came to me as a rude shock when I was watching Roadies 8 the other day with Hubby, we like the show as there are some really adventurous tasks
Let me mention the tasks that was performed by the participants which will substantiate with why I used the term "Rude Shock"

The participants are taken to Brazil and the task goes like this-
Need to come up with as many words as possible in the given English alphabets, The twist is that the Alphabets are hidden in the body of 2 women and a men who has chili sauce spread on their bodies, the Participants, girl to girl and boy to boy need to lick the chili sauce on their bodies to figure out the hidden alphabets….

I couldn’t believe that they can hold such tasks… Yeeeeeeeeeks

One more unbelievable task was to strip Naked in front of a hall packed with audience on stage.. Thank god the task was only for Guys… ;) It was not even a Immunity task but would gain 1 Lakh into Roadies account. 2 Participants (Mohith and Suchit) did agree to strip naked and went on stage and did it, Thank goodness they did not show their treasure to us and it was blackened.. ;)

Discussion- The censor board can postpone the timings of the shows like "Big Boss" and "Raakhi sawaanth show" coz they use abusive language, completely agreed
But what abt this Roadies show where they show guys stripping and Licking??? Doesn’t these shows be banned or at least the time slots changed?? What would a parent answer a kid if questioned??

Edited to add- Was discussing  with a friend that Suraj was voted out etc.. and she told me that "I remeber his auditions, it seems he is a very poor guy, poor guy etc ect.." I was little moved to hear this and with curiosoty I googled roadies 8 and suraj and found that he had faked his identity adn that he was a Bartender and was earning pretty well- Here is the link - http://www.itsfreemusic.com/truth-of-suraj-aka-nagesh-from-mtv-roadies-8/

No doubt the so Called in between quotes "Reality Shows" are heavily scripted

One of those days…… where nothing goes right!!

Not sure what stuck me that morning, In full zoom had bath in the morning, changed clothes n felt that my body was kinda rigid and needs some exercise, hence decided to do some toe touches as my hubby went up to get our packed lunch boxes and morning tea..

1….2 and there came the deadly 3 and here comes the low back pain………Aaaaaaaaaah I felt like someone is holding my low back and pulling it, my immediate reaction was to look around to see who did that to me.. (Especially after listening to Bhoot stories @ office the thing was still in my mind)

I couldn’t walk to the next room, tired I slept off on the bed, Hubby was scared to see me suffer and told me not to go to office…. Me like a big fool said "Its ok its not much may be just a muscle catch" took rest for 5 mins and got ready and asked him to drop me to the Office bus…

Once in office the pain became unbearable and I decided to return back home in a cab… It took me 10 phone calls to all possible cab companies, finally one of them agreed to drop me… I went directly to the Ayurvedic massage centre and got a nice Kerala style massage thinking that everything will be alright..Hubby came soon to pick me up and we went home, Mom n dad called up and asked me to go to a doc (orthopedic), Hubby also insisted a lot and finally I agreed to go..

2 hrs of waiting 1 X-ray, lots of tension, scared that it might be a "Slip disc" finally met the doc and he says "No fracture but it is a "Acute Lumbosacral strain" and that you need bed rest, no climbing stairs and 10 physiotherapy sessions" . There was definitely a temporary relief that it was not serious but on the other hand I had to be on complete rest for 3 days and therapies :'( Hubby's first reaction was "Thanks god"!! He immediately ordered me not to go to office for 3 days and take complete bed rest. Innumerable questions pop up in my mind-  Oh 3 days leave to office, I think it may be LOP
3 days complete bed rest, Cant climb stairs??? How will I manage everything etc… Got my first therapy done and left home…

Day 1 @ Home (Wednesday)
Poor darling hubby WFH and stayed with me and took very nice care of me, did not allow me to even walk or do anything,.. Hubby even changed the position of TV so that I can view it while sleeping on the bed from the room chooooo sweet na :). Staying @ home whole day and not allowed to do any work is so boring @ the same time its nice coz u r treated like a Queen, I was getting little bored too coz hubby couldn’t spend much time as he was working from home :)
I slept well, ate well and rested the whole day.

Day 2 @ Mom's house(Thursday)
After discussing with hubby on the situational following points emerged and we chose to go to Mom's house-
  • We did not wanted to give unnecessary work/tensions to MIL as she also could not also climb stairs
  • I would also become restless and lonely @ home
  • I wanted to see Mom n Dad mostly Dad
  • They couldn't visit my house as it was not 45 days since my granny passed away :(
  • So after thinking all this we decided to go to Mom's house
Thursday morn enroute to hubby's office he dropped me @ Mom's house after having a nice breakfast. This was the First time after marriage I stayed @ Mom's house and took complete rest, Just ate and did nothing… :) Felt nice it is such a relief too.. Chatted wit parents, ate, watched TV read my novel, browsed for sometime and ultimately towards the night missed hubby a lot… I wonder how my mom used to take a 2 month vacation to Mysore without dad… One day and I was missing hubby.. Really should appreciate Mom coz she did it for kids sake and little herself too :)

Day 3 (Friday)- Akshaya Thrithiya

Got up lazily, had tea @ the balcony, read paper, breakfast was ready ate, watched TV wow felt royal :)
Got facial done @ home as a beautician was asked to com home itself and relaxed myself for the rest of the day, Was little excited to see hubby in the evening and lil sad that all the luxuries of sitting and eating will be over as I would be returning back home..we left @ around 7:00 went to a jewellery shop to buy gold as it was akshaya thrithiya and then to my therapy and then back to home… Felt nice and tired too :(

Day 4 (Saturday)
Back to home, back to reality, cleaning, washing, cooking, preparing for the week to come, the day went off like this, Although I restrained to work I couldn’t resist and the day went as usual. Hubby really helped me in all the chores..

Day 5 (Sunday)
Looked Like I was back in track coz I prepared poori for breakfast, pulkas and Kichdi for lunch, washed clothes got tired and slept off. Took an appointment in Lakme for a hair cut and ended up pampering myself with a Hair spa too :), at around 8:00 realized that the week of pampering myself was over and I had to return to the crude, harsh world of reality :'(

Sweet Dreamzz

I love to dream and wish that the good ones should come true!!
There have been times when I dream with my eyes open, mostly about our future, before marriage it was to get married and settled and now about realising the life after marriage!!

Hubby and me mostly share our dreamz and talk about it.. A happy dream makes your day and a sad one spoils it by spoiling your mood.....

It was Long since hubby and me had actually discussed or rather dreamt anything sweet
Today morning @ around 5:30 AM we both were awakened by the sound of the motor I guess and hubby darling who generally is a Kumbh Karan (who sleeps no matter an elephant makes sound in front of you) opened his eyes and started telling me this with a smile on his lips... :)

Hubby- "You know what I dreamt about our Baby and it was a Baby Girl :)"
Me - Aaaaaaaaawww cho sweet :)
Hubby (with a sweet smile)- "She very much resembled me and you know she had bad cold .... I kept on continuosly staring @ her, was scared that she will fall off from bed and we had secured her with pillows around and a net above her..... I was the one who was taking care of her"
Me (filled with J) - "Oh is it wat about me??? Was I not there??? Oh I know you needed me to deliver a baby but then you dont need me right.....
Hubby -"No darling you were very much there but you were not taking care of our baby as much as I did" :'( :'(
Me- "So mean of you"....

My Realisation- Oh God I am so possessive about my hubby and even now I cant take it when he favours his nephew over me how would I take it when he favours our baby over me...????????

I keep telling him that he has to get me 2 chocs if he gets one for our baby and similarly in toys too... :) nice bargain isn't it???

Oh lately the topic of me getting preggy is a hot discussion and every random person I talk to or meet has to mention this!!

Some of the conversations/situations  that I have faced

Cousin- Wishes me and says hey you are 29 already when are you having a Baby?
Me- Stop that I am not 29, I have just completed 27 and now 28..
Cousin- Watever its too Late
P.S*- This cousin and her sis both had a baby on their first Anniv

Mom- Why are you guys not trying yet, try before its too late..
Me- Mom why are you being so pushy???
Mom- Actually my sisters (my pedamma's) keep asking me this and even my Mom was enquring "Any News Yet??"

Friend- Hey you are 28 already when will you have baby?
I am all furious coz we had just got married then and that too woth great difficulty(Is there a rule that I cannot conceive after 28???Grrrrrrrrr)
Me- Yeah we have just got married let us think.......

Some randon colleagues stare @ my tummy as if I am preggy... Oh god co-incidently I have put on a lot of weight after marriage and more in the tummy region... Its embarassing.....

Neighbour when we had been to her Son's B'day- "Are you expecting"
Me(Furious) - Nope I just had my periods today (Havent I told you that I was having periods when you came home to invite me??? Are you deaf?? Y are you embarassing me??)

Elder SIL's Co-sister who is close to MIL already had asked this to her- "What no news?? Why dont you talk to them??"
My MIL- She was enquiring about you, and I told her I do not want to ask them, its their wish.. Thanks MIL..
The same lady had come home and can you imagine what she did???
She held my hand and started touching my tummy in circular motion and asked, any news yet???
to which I replied- "No I have gained a lot of weight lately thats y it is showing..."
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
My earnest request to my Tummy

"Tummy Tummy Please go inside ; Dont come outside until a baby comes inside"

The only person till now who said "Y do you force her so much, let her enjoy at least 1 year of her marriage and think about it after a year, Leave her alone!!" Thanks R Atta (my Mom's SIL)

Oh My dad is also a part in this entire situation... He sweetly says I need my grandchild so that I can play with... I had given dad a surprise gift of Amar chitra Katha Mahabharath series and in return he calls up and says "What is this?? I need grand children to whom I can read this, First gimme that" :)
To which I reply - "Dad you first read it and understand more so you can teach your grandchildren"  witty

On a serious Note hubby loves kids a looooot, wherever you go he will be looking,playing with kids. In one of my nephew's B'day party my hubby was busy playing with kids kids n kids, the entire Mom's side family noticed that my hubby loves kids and were showing it to me n told "See he loves kids so much, this is an indication to you" It was so much in the party that day that I had to feed him food coz he had one or the other kid on his lap playing... :)
I just Love to watch him with kids coz he becomes a kiddu himself... :) Dad is no less and loves kids a lot... As kids he has taken very good care of me n Bro and is very eager to play with his grandchildren.
I too am fond of kids, especially when I see my friends n their kids, but get scared!! Will I be able to manage it?? Who would take care of me? Mom?MIL? I dont want to be unhappy, full of tensions, feel uncomfortable during the most important days of my life with a baby next to me @ the same tiome I also do not want to ask favours and be a burden... Whenever I think about having a baby these thoughts crowd in my mind and I give up saying... Lets see what happens.....

I am still furious!!!

I should acknowledge that I have the following disease-

  • I cant keep quite while having food be it with hubby or friends… I eat quietly only when I am angry :)
  • I have " A heart as big as a Ocean" types coz I make everyone in the group involved in the discussions/talks to make them feel one amongst us.. Be it in Office or with friends..I feel bad for people who hesitate and hence I talk to them to make feel good.
  • I ask a lot of questions to people to clarify things…
(Dont blame me instead Blame my 2nd Std Class teacher, Miss Sherly who incultivated the habit to ask questions and also to Imagine things) 

My hubby keeps teasing me saying
"You are a Bundle of Questions and Only Questions"
 "If you stand for elections your symbol should be one Big question Mark"

Both the diseases coupled up and gave rise to this situation….Here it goes..

3 of us (Gal friends - L, G and Me) have lunch in Office with another friend R, Since we 3 speak Kannada there are times where either L or G starts off in Kannada and R keeps mum, I sometimes feel bad for R and make sure he understand what we are talking and make sure we speak some common topics where he can pitch in too..

On that particular day L and G were talking in Kannada and after sometime everyone were Quite….. My disease started showing up and instead of keeping quite I asked R- "why are you silent talk something, these days u are pretty silent" (As if I just couldn't shut my big mouth) there started our conversation -

R- The Weather is too Hot these days in Blore…
Me- Yeah true it is gone worse..
R- Its nothing like before you know, it has worsened, Now there is no charm to stay here in Blore anymore..(He was already cribbing for so many things)
L- Yes it is worsened but till date people prefer to stay here coz it is not like Chennai or Delhi you know.
R- Oh no people are moving out these days a lot from here, Many of whom I know wanna leave Blore and go because of this reason only..
Me- Oh Cmmon yes the weather is bad but it is still not like in Delhi you know…extremes…
R- Nah When I was here it was so good, not at all these days, no one wants to stay in Blore these days…
Me- When you were here is when?
R- 3 to 4 years Back you know, from then I am here only..
L- Then why are you here? You could have not come…
R- Oh I did not come here myself, that stupid company of Mine sent me here..It was not my desire to be here..

***By Now L, G(who was a silent observer) and Me became little furious and out tone increased a little

Me- The choice was still yours to come, you could have gone back if not interested.
L- If so then even now you go why are you here? (Very furiously)
R- BTW there is nothing other than IT in Balore and that is the SOLE reason why me or anyone are here in Blore…

***Helloooooooooo Mr R now you started off and you face the consequences………
L, G and me @ the same time started off not sure who spoke what and when.. But the conversation turned discussion now appeared like a fight

L- Come out and see what all you have rather than just sticking on to Indranagar, come to North Blore I will show you.
Me- Blore is not all about your Pubs, Restaurants, Movie halls and Shopping Complexes..

(Yes I agree there have been times when I have also felt that there is nothing here in Blore but that is out of a shear frustration of the routine IT life we live, but here it had become a matter of prestige and love to our Land)

Me/L/G- What do you want tell me??? Have you seen temples around
R- Ok temples, we also have temples there, Temples are there everywhere…what else do you have here?????
Me- What else do you want? Do you need a waterfront? Sorry we don’t have here? Tell me what else you want and I will let you know whether we have it here or not
R- Oh no you tell me what you have here, we have so many things there that we don’t have here.

***L was talking about some old temples which are famous etc.. My Blood started boiling and I could not recollect anything around Taak came the Answer

Me- Have you seen the Palace? (God why is that I couldn’t remember any further famous monuments, buildings etc in Blore)
R- Oh No I haven't seen it…. But this is all there in our place also

***@ this point in time I even forgot where does this fellow hail from, all I knew was is that he is a son of IAS officer and he can pay any amount of money to get his GMAT score of 700 and above…Believe me this is not my imagination R himself said that he wants to pay money to get a 700 + score one day earlier to this incident…
Me- See you have more money in IT that is the reason you are here and everyone needs money
R- Oh don’t talk about Money, We and our people whom I know(I am sure he meant his relatives) have so much Money that you cannot even think about and it is not here with People….

*****************Enuffffffffffff This is toooooooo much!!! This stuck me like a arrow and it was too personal a comment to make… this attack was very much egoistic and showed how much he valued money!!!

L started defending saying " Don’t say that here also people have……….BLANK……" .I could not here anything and all I could think was IAS officer's son who wanted to but his GMAT Score is now talking about MONEY!! This is expected out of him… why is that I did not realize earlier,… Even after G telling me so many times abt how proudish he is about money I always ignored her saying Nope dear he is not proudish even after having so much money n status and here I see hm today in a very different shade…. Oh God I judged someone so wrongly…

G- Lets stop this conversations, people are looking @ us..
G later told me that she wanted to say "Dhikhadiyaana tera aukaad" Oh if only she would have said it!! It suits the him..
Me- You talked about Money and you have really hurt our sentiments here, never expected this from you
R- It is you who talked about MONEY not Me
Me- I just said there is money is IT and never referred Money alone…It was you who pointed out MONEY

***B4 this I wanted to argue more but @ this stage I felt we should stop speaking….. I stopped this conversation..
We all felt very uncomfortable and stopped this discussion/Argument and left the place only feeling more furious and more hatred towards R….

Oh believe me I have had many such arguments with friends in Ex company but never it had turned so sour… This particular one hurt me more as the matter of money was risen and my perspective/judgment about a person proved to be so very false… I guess dats Y ppl say "Never judge anyone by Face"

Childhood!


Summer holz and all u can see around is kids playing, playing n playing….If only we had summer holz in IT industry..:'( sob sob:'(

Hubbys nephews- Chintoo and Mintoo have come home n its fun to be with kids, I try to make sure I cook something special or sometihing that they like, try to spend some time with them, talk to them and whenever time permits play with them too

Card Game - Pictureka!
There are 2 types of cards:
Picture cards - Pictures drawn on them
Mission cards- Topics on them such as a Sporty thing or a Noisy thing
Eg of mission cards are- "A wild Animal" , "A sharp object", "Weather related thing", "A tool" etc…
The picture cards needs to be identified for the appropriate mission card picked… I was the judge who picks up the mission card and the kids find out the suitable match in the picture cards and shout "Pictureka" , I judge who did shout first and if it matches with the mission card or not… It is so much fun to play this,sometimes hubby joins too and adds more fun quotent to it…. Funniest part is the in a hurry to be first identify wrong pictures to the mission cards n bare a penalty…

Apart from this we play the classic UNO, cheating and putting a DRAW 4 card to the probable winner n make him loose ;)
  
Basic Helicopter(I really coudnt think of a better name)
The other day the kids in the street were playing n laughing , on watching them carefully it was such a simple thing in their hands, a small pipe say around 10 cms long which had a 2 winged plastic colorful head, it looks like this rocket… All you have to do is roll it across your palms and make the thing fly and swivel in the air….It was such a delight to watch 5 to 6 kids play it together,,, the colorful rockets swirled n rolled n fell…. It was really a treat to my eyes :)
 I joined the troop and played tooo… Believe me it was so much fun… :)

Thinking abt  it how many games have I played as a kid??? Lemme try to list it

Guyish Games- Goli, Buguri,  Lagori, Chinni Daandh, Kho-Kho, Hide and seek, kallu Mannu, Chor Police, Raam chand, Joot aata, Fire in the mountain, Chaar Pathar.........

Girlie games - Kunte bille (3 types, Traditional 6 house, 4 squares and aeroplane), Elastic game, 4 stones,Kitchen play set...........

Indoor games- Snake and Ladder, Ludo, chess, chinese chekkers, pictionary,Business, Brainvita,Check 4,

The list continues..........

How many of the above mentioned games do these days kids know, leave abt playing it???? All they know is Mobile games, Vidoe games, Games in Computer/Laptop/Watching Cartoons end of the story.....

No amount of discussions had with Hubby,SIL-MIL, Mom and Frineds the situation will remain the same unless until you make a difference.

Like a squirrels contribution me and hubby encourage C n M to go out and play rather than sticking on to the virtual world!!!, we accompany them to play infact hubby recently bought a cricket set and BIL brought carrom.Hubby and me are very clear that our kid in the future should not stick on to the virtual world and should see and play like how we did... I just hope we shall be able to achieve it!!

Ah Ah Childhood!!!!!! This is something that we can never get it back!!

I remember a poem in Hindi which goes something like this:
"Aaaja Bachpan ek baar phir, de de apni nirmal shaanthi, Vyaakul Vyatha mithane vaalii, who apni apni prakrut vishranti."

I used to love this poem without knowing the in depth meaning of it but today after knowing the exact meaning and feeling that the poetess had I love the poem and her thoughts behind it..... .. Those were the golden days of my or praobably anyones life….
May be just for a day or few hrs I experienced my chilhood back!! And it made my day :) (I am feeling all Nostalgic while I am writing this)
