Home Sweet Home - Phase 2

*Maa ke haath ka khaana

*Walking in the lawn (which I terribly miss here)

*Sharing stories with a cousin who came to meet especially from Mumbai

*Being inseparable from her for 48 hours!

*Playing ball with the kids at home

*Coloring with crayons and laughing like crazy

*Reading stories to my niece

*Copying the nephew who has just started forming full sentences

*Meeting two new born nieces for the first time (why are we all growing up so fast!)

*Not being able to talk with the Boy on phone because of lack of time!

*In between all the chaos, convincing people to contribute for this.

*Going to local dhabas/tea stalls

*Shopping!

*Not touching the laptop for so many days

*Rescheduling the stay to attend a close relative's destination engagement!!

*Making a creative newspaper for the boy and girl and being applauded for the effort (wish I could show you pictures; it was superb!)

*Singing songs at the engagement and becoming really, really famous!

*Attending practice sessions for the engagement party

*Visiting Agra for the same

*Seeing the Taj Mahal for the first time

*Making mommy pose for several pictures

*Sleeping with headphones on because the parents snore so much!!

*Rushed packing, tiring journeys, sore muscles... aahh... the side effects of having too much fun!

*Leaving for the 'international' airport just two hours before the flight and still have more than an hour to spare at the airport... belonging to a small city can be extremely convenient

*Reaching an international airport before time coming out in maximum 10 minutes... living in a small country is such a luxury!

Although this world is extremely different from the one I went to, it's peaceful and full of love. Hope to get back into routine soon. I'll leave you with a few pictures and much love...

The super-fun coloring session!

My nephew is hiding somewhere between his cars and pillows that he cannot live without!
