Rain musings

So here we were S , Sanja and myself playing around in the evening. S asks: Sanja can I also go to school. Sanja: Ok. S : Onodha school ku varatha (can i come to your school). Sanja : No, you go to boys school . V : But Sanja, in your school both boys and girls study together. S: So I can come right. Sanja: No no no, You go to another school or class, don't come to my class. S and V wonder -- Does this attitude start this early in age. S aunt works in a government school that has seperate campus for Boys and girls. Sanja knows that the great aunt works in the girls school. I think ,her assumption from conversation above is that girls go to girls school and boys go to boys school. 

Things are looking up in Sanja household -- here is what we have been doing for the past few weeks / months  Clay modelling - While Amma and Sanja friends sit and patiently make clay stars , butterflies and tree - Sanja is busy crushing them and making all of them into balls.  Walling painting-  To make the Sanja doodles les visible on the wall, the bigge kids (S and myself) set about doing Warli paintings on the said wall. The parents of the bigger kids have sworn that they will never leave the house in the hands of these kids for a long time.( They have been to US for 6 months),  Fabric painting; Got hold of one of Sanja's frock and painted a girafee on it. Planning on doing more of this .  House cleaning - Loads of trash and dust thrown away.  Got ourselves a new auto washing machine.  A convention oven-  The big gal is dreaming about making loads and loads of cookies , cakes.  Myself finding more time to play with Sanja since all work gets done pretty fast with 2 ppl aro

So today was the day Mr K came into our family. Mr .K is  Sanja cousin from her father's side. K is my SIL son. He was with us for the first five months and so is almost like a bro to Sanja. Today he finishes his 1 year of existence filled with many mischief . Since we celebrate the first Tamil birthday in a grand way, today we have only the closest family memeber getting together for celebration. Sanja is all set to wish her lil bro Happy Birthday. She was a bit miffed that he couldn't speak on the phone with her when she wished him in the morning. Looking forward to seeing the little bundle this evening. God Bless You  dear K . Many more happy returns of the day

Yippy ,  first milestone for the BLOG.

It breaks your heart/ makes u proud  and is amazing to see that a 2 yr -old kid understands the situation and adapts easily to changes unlike the grown-ups. Sanja paternal grand parents are back and so her daily trips to her maternal gp place are done with for now. We took a day off to take care of all of them (Sanja, K patti , V thata). Today when we left for office, all Sanja wanted was  to come to my office.This is basically because she was sick for past few days and we are at Her Majesty's serivce all the time.Later on she accepted the fact that now on she will be with her K Patti and will be going occassionally to G patti's place. Same thing happened when they left for US of A. She would eagerly await her daily DURO trip to Radha nagar( where G patti and R thatta lives). While she has adjusted , her mother (read Me) thinks it will take her some days to get used to having the elders back at home after 6 months of running the home all by herself and as per her wishes and wh
