So finally summer has arrived and that too with a big bang. AC’s are out, Jacuzzi is refilled with fresh water and some chemicals added to maintain the ph. M finished his release successfully, this kept him working till the early hours of Saturday. Today their team is celebrating by going out for drinks followed by a movie. Needless to add I am super jealous.
Saturday we spent most of the day cleaning, cooking, eating and relaxing in the Jacuzzi. Boo boo loves it there and threw a tantrum to come out. In the evening we went to the nearby Balaji temple. Its always nice to see so many fellow Indians, for a moment I forgot this temple is not located in India. Women wearing tradition Indian dresses, little girls wearing pattu langa (there are the moments which make me wish for a girl) and Indian jewellery, visiting parents, pulihora and payasam and prasadam makes me totally emotional. Booboo loves it when I apply vibhuti and kumkum on his forehead and demands me to apply it in front of every idol there. And then every time M makes a sashtaang namaskaram in front of the god booboo copies him immediately and says govinda govinda. He doesn’t like the tirtham and tries to spit it out the moment I put a drop in his mouth. Somehow he will not eat payasam if I make it at home but in the temple he ate a small bowl. Came home finished dinner and put booboo to sleep. I crashed on the couch while M was clearing the table and loading the dishwasher.
Sunday morning was spent making breakfast, cleaning the second floor, 1st floor and basement. Lunch was rajma chawal, which is booboo’s favorite. He slept immediately after lunch and we wasted no time getting into the Jacuzzi. This was followed by lunch and booboo woke up as I was clearing the table, just in time. We started watching “Race” and at some point I drifted to sleep and M managed booboo. This is what I do not like about afternoon naps, they do not feel enough yet you loose a few hours out the precious Sunday afternoon, which can be utilized to finish some chores. Made the evening tea and we all went out for a walk. This is when the summer heat hit us good and strong. Came back home at half past nine. There was a huge list of chores to finish and we had so little time. I started feeding booboo and M disposed the garbage, we ate dinner, I cleaned dishes while he started ironing his clothes. By the time I managed ironing the formal wear it was 1:00 in the night and we decided to call it a day.
Ps., did I mention about the cold and body pains. Happy Monday everybody.
