Short Vacation

Well, I'm back from a short 4 day vacation in Pune, and it's been a good one... It was good to see Mehaan after such a long time... especially since he has been talking and doing a whole lot of stuff... The first thing that he mentioned when I walked in was to point out where I need to take off my shows... And then he proceeded to tell me everything that he was doing...

The trip to mom and dad's place was pretty eventful too... He was thrilled to go there after such a long time, and of course my parents were too... It was good to see him talk around the house... Try and show them how he's learning to swim, with his bottom up and him pretending to be in water... Chasing away dogs, as usual, in his own style by holding a stick which is invariably longer than him... Dancing in front of them and expecting a big round of applause when he stops... It was good fun... he also managed to enjoy fresh mangoes from the backyard... and a good time in the neighbouring garden, enjoying the slides and the swings... Mom had a good time cooking up all the delicacies for him, with him approving each and everyone of the dishes post a round of tasting...

The funniest part was watching him swim... His instructor seems to be a vey cool guy, and our man seems to be pretty popular there... The only problem was that our man was more focused on me than swimming that day... So when the time came for a jump from the high platform... He went into the water screaming "Dadaaaaaaaaa"... and landed on his bottom... Very unusual for he always lands pretty straight into the water... No problems tho', we had a pretty wet evening, with us going to a mall and buying one of his favorite "Giant Tennis Balls', which has become the favorite of all the kids in the society...

And talking about him talk... He is really picking up the words and their meanings... It seems when Minzie goes to buy mutton at our regular shop, he goes, " Mutton hai... Taaza hai... Achcha banega"... And in addition, the day when I was lying beside him just before he wakes up... he opened his eyes, saw me lying there watching him, said ," Eyesh Kloshe Karo"... and went back to sleep wrapping his arm around me... lol... funny guy...

Managed to buy a decent DVD player too, for Rs. 3000/-... which was alright, for the MRP was about Rs. 4500... So most of the things are falling into place quickly, which is good news... I also got the IT return from the department after 2 bloody long years... And now I can repay the money that I borrowed from Bro... This should leave me with only the Educational loan next december and probably I can start renovating the house too... So now it's abck to Nagpur in the daily rigmarole and let's see how things move...
