Back, but no bang!

Now this must be the longest I have been away from reading and writing on Blogosphere. I feel horrible to say the least.

I mean, a lazy trip back home is no excuse not to jot down the million thoughts that go on in your mind. Really, everything amazing you do and see starts a series of thoughts in your mind that you want to pen down here. What is it with us bloggers, huh?

Like when I went to Lucknow this time - we visited this beautiful, beautiful park that I had surprisingly missed in the last two years. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the park was unmistakably clean, and the greenery was to-die-for. I have seen a lotttt of parks in my life, but I think this is my favorite now. All I wanted to do after visiting it was write a review on my blog! It is called Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Park and is located in Gomti Nagar. After you are done with eating Tunde Kebab and shopping for Chikan Kurtas in my city of Nawabs, do check this little piece of paradise whenever you visit.

My least favorite thing about traveling is flying. Every time something or the other happens that leaves a bad memory in my head. This time was no different. While taking a flight from Delhi to Bahrain, I encountered this rude gentleman at the check-in counter. When I told him I cannot lift my suitcase and that he should call someone to help, he gave me a wicked smirk saying that there was no one around. I told him I will try to lift but I am not sure if I will succeed. Even though he saw me struggling, he didn't have the decency to get up and help. I guess Air India deserves all the flak it gets. Their staff needs to learn from a lot of other airlines that I have taken in the past and have never once faced a similar issue.

Anyhoo, you see, you learn, you grow; that is what my 3-year old nephew is doing these days. He's a boy with an attitude problem who wouldn't smile even if you tried your best. So these days, my mom - his grand-mother, has been tickling him a lot to give him his daily dose of laughter. Now I don't know if it is the right thing to do, but it sure is spreading a lot of joy in my house.

And to spread the joy across borders, my brother is getting his family here in Bahrain. I've been dying to see my niece and nephew in my house and this is really getting me extremely excited. I think when these kids are around three, they are the cutest. My niece is now nine, and she has been showing signs of entering teenage! But whatever it is, they are my most favorite people in the world right now and I cannot wait to see them.

Guess this space will have to wait a little longer to see me in full form! Goodness, what English!!!!!
