Weekend snapshot

Talk about starting the weekend on a scary note... Exams were to be conducted for the SMP that I attend on weekends, and an hour into the session the link went down... And how in the world did that happen... Well, it seems the Air conditioner was not working, and they called the technician in to fix it... Our man goes ahead and tries to fix something that is not required and there's a complete blackout at the center... And i'm like... Oh man, there goes my exam..
Well, i'm hoping that the Microeconomics examination was not conducted, because the QAM session went without one...
Nevertheless, lo and behold, Congress won a majority in the Great Indian Elections 2009... ow the hell did that happen? Well, the answers are pretty simple... 1. Things can't get any worse from what they are now... 2. The Middle class voted this time... 3. There were only a few leaders that people can look up to... 4. To a certain extent again, the way the Petroleum and Truck Driver strikes were handled by the Government...

Back to our li'l man, who is just happy with himself... It happens again and agin, but he has this telepahtic ability of knowing when I have arrived, and he comes jumping down the stairs.. And this time in addition, to the enthusiastic exclamation of my name, I was warmly invited when he said, "aaiye, aayie, baithiye baithiye"... lol...
When you know you have an exam to write, and you have your son jumping around you... It calls for crisis management... lol... So what do I do, I take my son out to the Petrol Pump close to Suman Vihar, and we mutually decide on which ice cream flavors to eat... (well, when I say mutual decision... He decides the flavors and I agree to pay :):):P).. So after a nice and short trip... we settle down in front of the TV to watch the latest episode of "Dance India Dance"... And I really enjoyed the dance by Prince and Salman on "Chal mere bhai"... After Mehaan went to sleep, I managed to catch up on some sections of the QAM module so that I can atleast clear the examination...

Sunday, the day both Minzie and Mehaan were travelling back to Pune... I tried to spend as much time with him as possible... I know that it's sometimes crazy to compromise on certain things which impact you in the long run for immediate gratificaiotn... but spending time with him was more important than anything else... I know he'll miss me once he goes back, and i'll miss him too... In fact i feel very alone... difficult to explain...

But he ensured that he left his imprints on everything before he left, whether it was sitting naked on the bed and eating ice-cream with a wooden spoon, or trying to fill water in cooler and making a pool of water on the floor... lol... he does everything in style.... Well, now it's back to the daily grind... I'm waiting to take leave for a few days, so i can set up a couple of things at Pune... Let's see how it goes...
