Those were the days of:

Pedicures, Manicures and Hot-oil head massages...

Impulse shopping at the Expo/ Mela -straight from office with mates..

Brousing for hours at the lending library ..

falling asleep on a book..

Buffet brunch on Sundays, Kitchen Bandh, Laundry off days...

Cardio Kickboxing every morning from 6 to 6.45 and a hot cuppa with jog-mates (some verrry good looking guys n gals..) at the 'udupi hotel'

Strolling with Sanj on Hussainsagar and Popcorn/ Icecream at Imax..

Learning tie 'n' dye (i was just halfway through bandhni) ...

And here i am today - I got a near shock when i saw a reminder from my exercize team that i was due to join back and a mailer from my crafts class!!

Fact is, I dont miss any of this!! Still, I'm resolving to take up something, 'coz later, i dont want to be resentful of loosing out on \";everything\"; 'coz of Kich.

Y'all take care.. Vani replied. Forget about the beauty parlour, its been ages since I had a long walk with Shyam or had a tea in the terrace with him which we used to do very often before Rishi. This one needs attention all the time!!!!

Even at night, after Rishi sleeps and we have some time in private, I keep looking at Rishi and thinking that he will wake up and Shyam has given up on me :)

But as Archana said his smile and coos compensates for everything!

Vani Archana replied. Life changes a LOT after baby na?
No time for grooming at all..
Been 2+ months that I waxed, or did anything that comes under \";beaty-parlour\"; activity ! Forget that, applying daily moisturizer has become weekly and oil in hair? maybe once a month?? !!


You are right, Paddoo.. we need to take some time to ourselves also.
I just wished my hubby was \";capable\"; of taking care of Radha alone for 2-3 hours! He will help me in all the ways (including changing nappies/diapers) I have to be around...
With office on weekdays and Radha on weekends I do not have ANY time left at all. I am surviving ONLY because of my mother who takes care of Radha on weekdays and also manages my home to quite extent with help of my maids.

Only the sparkle in Radha's eyes compensate for all the things I am missing...
Love,
Archana
