PTA!

9.30 am on Saturday

Scene: C rushing (read that cursingly getting ready!) to get to work. Who likes working on weekends! We need to make it to the Parents teachers meeting before he makes a dash to the office.

Me in my unbathed best soaked in my just-out-of-bed look. I have never loved Deodorants more… The only way I could make my presence bearable at the school I guess. Both of us in a frantic rush to make it to make it in time (well 15 mins late!)

Reactions at School

Well-dressed parents and hep-looking moms and here I am at my nasty best! I did get some ‘well, I understand’ kinda looks. Its time to meet R’s class teacher now…

A whole bunch of activity books are piled up in front of us to see what our Coochie-poo has been doing. They are full of happy butterflies, bright crescent moons, colorful post boxes, and happy fish.

Teacher begins, clearing her throat; R is very enthusiastic and inquisitive child. He excels at number work and his terribly honest. A smile erupts on my lips; I say silent prayer, Thanks God he hasn’t taken after me for both! Errr.. I mean I was bad at Math, and hence had to be selectively honest in sharing my Unit test scores at home. J

Headmistress joins us, he floods us with questions, and he now wants to know, “How fish swim?” We are getting a live fish to explain to him the parts – the fin and the gills!

C’s face brightens for the first time in the day! Proud parents we walk out of the school. PTAs were traumatic events for me as a child. Hopefully this is the way PTAs would be for me as a parent!

Note – Thanks Amma and Appa for all your patience and the difficult PTAs I must have put you through!

Getting Nostalgic with Bed n Breakfast!

If you were mine, everytime,
you could be the one to make me feel right
day or night, feel you close in my arms.
If you were mine, yes it's true
there would never be a day without your smile,
take your time,
baby I would feel so real if you were mine.

Hold me closer into your arms,
never let me down girl.
Feel the magic in the air, it's here.
Love is written on my
face, everytime you're near me,
just be here and it's alright.

Every night and everyday,
need your love here to stay,
not just today but everyday on my way.
You gotta keep it in your mind,
that life would be so fine,
oh baby, if you would be mine.

If you were mine ...

Since I know you times have changed,
always light around me,
'cause you make my dreams come true so true.
Years before I felt so sad,
now the hope is rising.
With your love, I'm gonna fly so high.

Feel the magic in the air, be aware
that if you share my dreams
it seems love is everywhere.
You gotta keep it in your mind
that love will make me shine,
oh baby, if you would be mine.

If you were mine ...

A very familiar yet forgotten fragrance triggered this post!

Stranger than fiction?

Yes.... I am on vacation for a whole month beginning tomorrow which would mean -

1.) I would no longer be expected to rush to work and ensure I have swiped my card by 10.30 am (Fellow TIS-ians would know what I mean!)

2.) No frantic email checking

3.) Temporary amnesia - I am trying hard to forget everything about the project I was on.

4.) Lotssa time with my coochie poo... I adore the smile on this face when he seems me back home while he returns from school

5.)Return to Meditation - Yes I have been really bad at keeping up with this

6.) Back to gym days

7.) Experiments with Truth - I mean C's capability to ingest anything I cook

8.) Sweet nothings with chithi

9.) Catch up with friends

10.) Last but not the least, visit my sis!
