And we are off!

To Kerala tomorrow.
Free from cooking and cleaning.
Total relaxation.
Many willing hands to play with Mowgli, carry him around, listen to all his requests and treat him like a king. As for poor me, I'll read and eat and sleep and laze around and Turn a deaf ear to the advices!!! Mowgli is just recovering from a severe bout of diarrhoea and has become half his size! So am sure to be hearing a lot of views on why he is so thin, why he has not yet started walking, why does he have only four teeth and not more. Oh, the list is endless. But for once I have decided not to let anything bother me. Taking a leaf out of my sister’s book; Smile politely at everyone, listen and nod sagely at each piece of advice that you get and then proceed to do what you want!
One of our close friends is getting married tomorrow in Kannur. Its 12 hours from here. The BH can’t make it as it’s the quarter end and he’s almost dead with the pressure. So it’s just Mowgli and me with our friends. I am hoping that mowgli will behave. Fully prepared with new toys, food and the like. The BH got me a nice Assam silk from one of his tours. I will be wearing that. Its a cream sari with blue and black hand embroidery done. Mowgli is wearing a traditional kurta-pajama that he got on his birthday. We both hope to rock!!!!
From there another 6 hours train journey to the BH’s home town. We’ll be there for a week and then on to my place to celebrate X’mas. I think the biggest advantage of marrying somebody from a different religion is that you get to celebrate all your festivals with your parents J it’s a win-win situation for the husband and the wife and the grand parents. (Now why don’t they think of all these advantages instead of over reacting!!!!)
Mowgli is much better now as compared to the last two weeks. He’s eating better and looking much much better. It was horrible to see him lose so much weight within 2-3 days and the poor guy crying with the tummy pains and feeling so tired after each bout of loose motion. The doctors have said that it will take time to recover. Once he is better we have to again visit the doctor as they want to discuss Mowgli’s growth progress!!! He is totally underweight and under height L 8.5 kgs for a one year old and 70 cm! Pathetic,na?
We have made an album of Mowgli's life, from the time he was born till he shaved his head, as a X'mas present for his grand parents. All four grandparents are going to be completely fida over it!
So Happy X’mas and I’ll be back with a huge surprise for all of you!
