Bambi tales

When I become big and have my own phone, you should save my number as "Jhansi ki Rani"...

***********************************
Mowgli is studying for his Computer Exam - "the edit bar consists of 'tool box','colour box' and ummm.."
"Lunch box? Chacha?" Bambi prompts helpfully!

**************************************
Rushing to grab a book before running to the bathroom.. Just because everybody else in the famiy does that!"

*************************************
Humming "njanum njanumentaalum.." she decides to substitute it with "njanum njanum ente husbandum.." and proceeds to sing that version aloud...

To remember

that it was the BH who held the fort when things got crazy at work..
who picked and dropped kids for their classes..
who managed dinner when I was too busy and worn out to even think about it..
who serviced the car and ran around for all the insurance papers..
who filled the forms and submitted the documents for an upcoming trip...
along with managing his job...
who serves as the role model for Mowgli and Bambi.. That when things get hectic you dont lie down and complain.. instead you roll up your sleeves and get work done..
who stood by me always and for ever!

Thank you is inadequate.... Still, I say to you... Thank you for everything

Travelling with the BH

A good art of travel is the company you keep. A beautiful place can become a forgettable trip if you don’t gel with your companions. 

For me, almost all my travels have been with the BH either alone or in a  group. Increasingly as I go for trips without him, I realize that I prefer to travel with the BH. All said and done the familiarity we share is something nothing else can replace. Knowing that you want the same things. We both are fine with basic places to stay preferring to spend on food and sight-seeing. We both don't mind walking for ages and have done that whenever we travel sans kids. With the BH around, you can rest assured that we’ll explore the local cuisine. The last time we were in Goa, we walked into a home that had a “Lunch Ready’ Board. There were three or four tables and the food was served on their veranda. Simple homemade tasty food and our first kombucha!  There is always the surety of knowing that if one suggests an offbeat idea the other will definitely second it. 

Recently when I was in Goa on an office trip, it just brought this thought home - we are the best travel partners for each other!!!
