Well, I've been battling with this nasty little piece of common cold for almost two weeks now...first with Kabir who got it so bad and now me...who got it sooo bad!
And on top of this , I don't feel like doing anything at all...like I used to before having a baby...the ONLY downside of having a baby (at least for people like me who don't trust in the collective powers of ayahs and grandmothers!) is that you can never laze around and be decadent as you used to pre-baby.
And then there is the added intrigue- which doesn't make your mental state any better- murmurs and rumours around selling this house and buying another one...my life or rather our lives seem to have taken a course beyond our control.
I wonder are all parents like Anuj's? No I know they aren't. Mine aren't. Neither are so many more I know. And it's not just a question of appearances. Most parents do talk to their children AND listen to them when they are making important decisions of their lives. Like selling part of their house for peanuts and then expecting three families to stay in the space for one. Not sharing their 'financial secrets' lest the wicked sons and their even more wicked wives (now that Swati is gone- wife) do away with all their 'hard earned money'. That the 'hard earned money' is a legacy of their own parents, kind of escapes their notice.
Well, just like our wedding which was a complete antithesis of what we wanted from a marriage ceremony, I guess we'll just have to make the best of this hash. I hope we do a good job.
