Dear Friends

Hope all are doing great! I reached Chennai on Friday and four days were hectic in unpacking and arranging the house. I have just stuffed everything, yet to arrange and sort out properly. Since when Rishi came to chennai he had been crying a lot and now he is clinging to me and not going to anyone at all! At least with my mom, he manages but he is not going to my MIL at all. Today I have left him at my mom's place and have come to office. I donno how long I can do the same. I have arranged for a lady to take care of him and she will come from the 1st of september. Lets see.

Loved to read Kichu and Sid's updates... yeah they are 19 months old and very hard to believe. Even Rishi has outgrown so many clothes... they still fit him in width, but he has grown tall. Should take him to his ped here for the MMR (18 months and still not given!)

I will write more later. Yesterday it was very tough, he did not even let me go to the bathroom. He stood near the door and cried all the while!! Please suggest something. He is refusing to go to my inlaws and when he is very cranky, doesn't go to shyam too!

Take care all and kisses to the chotus

Love

So so so nice to see all your posts again. Yahan meri haalat kaafi kharab thi aur aaj ki kucch better huya hain. Was having cough, cold fever etc for amlost a month but woh sab theek tha, lekin achanak asthma attack aa gaya kaafi jhor se. No medicines were helping so I had after 2 weeks of terrible torture, my doc had to put me on steroids, heavy antibiotics and a nebulizer which I am carrying to work (imagine, its like a breast pump!). So that has worn me out and I was depressed and all that and was fed up with life...hence the silence..
Aaj sab ka ek saath post dekhkar raha nahi gaya..yu know na how I get into my writing moods :).
Vani-that was awful to hear about your appa, how is he now? I cant even imagine how you must be manahing everything na..we are always torn between motherhood and parents..Rishi in-laws ke paas nahi aa raha hain..jahan se pyaar milega wahi to jayega na..he must be feeling insecure after the move..is beech mein how are yu managing work..waise I know how it feels because I too with all these problems where I could barely drive was going to work..dont know why we desi woman take so much pressure..yeh gore logon ko to koi farak hi nahi parta..saans nahi liya jaa raha tha and I was working..mann mein yahi tha that I should save all my vacation for Rishu and Puneet..anyways..like Paddu said you always wanted R to come after you na..but again I kknow what you mean..not in such a way where he is crying and unhappy...he will settle down soon, I promise..
Paddu-tera ka chal raha hain..great to know that Kichu is talking so much..record his singing yaar..it will be fun to listen to it later..you will cherish it..waise hum khud hi nahi karte hain to hum kya tumhe gyan de rahe hain bolo? How how does it feel to be SAHM? A big change na..time lagega but you will get used to it and find peace in it..yahan kaam karke bhi to hum hamesha bhagte hi rehta hain..seriously I have become cranky and old I think..probably need some therapy or some spiritual enlightment to open me up!!!!!
Komal-Kaunse day care mein daala Megs ko? You said a big one..she is so friendly..woh jaldi hi sab ko apa bana legi I know. Tumne house warming ka pics hi nahi bheja abhi tak..is baar to maine Rakhi, Janamasthami kucch bhi nahi kiya..very bad I was..lekin kya kare between my health and Puneet's erratic office hrs I was losing myself..Puneet weekdays par bhi 9PM par and kabhi kabhi 12.30 and ek din 2.30am par wapas aaya..and weekends also he worked all of July and Aug...hum to pagal hi ho gaye..I told him ko hamara divorce ho jayega..aur nahi hota hamse..we fight a lot..stupid fights you know..doesnt eat on time, always stressed, no romance left and so on...

Chalo then, meri ram kahani to khatam hone se rahi..I will post new pics soon..album in progress..Loadsa love Reena komal replied. Hi Vani,
Was just going through your other posts...my my so much has happened....how is your dad doing now?
And I think gradually rishi will adjust ..once you have the lady at home .....he will feel more comfy...they like to be in their own environment i think.

Hi Paddoo...how are you dear...it's been so long ...i wish we were just a phone call away and i could just talk to you guys...
nice to read kich's updates and his rk obsession and i can't believe he sings songs :) so cute...

Life has been busy this side too...vani you won't believe i still haven't set up the home...(it's still the same way it was after the first week of excitement)...so take your time and arrange things araam se.
My mil is leaving on 10th of sep and megha has joined a new day care since yesterday. We were a little worried whether she would adjust after 2 months of being at home...but she seemed fine and impressed all her teachers too..except that she didn't eat much and didn't sleep at all. But i guess it was a totally new environment (this place is almost like a school , has 6 classrooms...kids of different ages) I couldn't find a nice family day care near our new home so sent her to this place..it's super expensive and they are so strict about timings ,food,etc,etc....anyway we'll get used to it.

I haven't seen any latest pics of the kiddos...i'll post some of megha too.

Take care guys,
love to kich and rishi.

A big hi to all the others..I'll write a separate post soon.

love
komal

paddoo replied. Dearest,

And all this while you were cribbing that Rishi doesnt come to you and is sooo... in love with your amma, sister and shyam.. Now see the real story?

Paavam. Must have ben traumatized being separated and being with your MIL (he's been around you mom more na?)

Neyways.. Enjoy your break from Hyd.. Remember how we used to long to leave that city behind and we've done it!!

Warm hugs to Rishi.

Love
Paddoo
