What kind...

1) what kind of a mother allows her son to get a henna tattoo & does not get one for herself because she knows those ladies add hair dye to the henna!! It's not safe!!
That mother would be me.

2) what kind of a man refills a bottle of liquid hand wash with hair conditioner simply because no one is using it & the bottle is lying around in the bathroom.
That man is my husband.

Lalach buri bala

Lalach buri bala means that greed is a bad habit to have.
We went today morning to the Padini warehouse sale.
We assumed very wrongly that there would not be too much of a crowd.
As we entered the industrial estate where the factory is located; we saw numerous cars parked and people walking towards the same place...again we thought that there must be some other event.
On reaching the warehouse we saw people in a line; there were drink and snack stalls! People were enjoying their drinks & snacks while chit chatting with their friends.
The line turned out to be almost 2 Km long!!!
We decided to get out of there and head to the familiar environs of a mall... What else could we do with 2 bachhas in tow!!

Have you....?

Have you ever been at a gathering & when the host introduces you to someone.....they sort of 'check you out' as though to say 'oh!!! So this is neelum' !!
It makes me VERY uncomfortable!!!

The statue is located outside the Taiping museum. Handsome ain't he?

Conversations

Some conversations reveal so much about the person; they may be few words, but they just open up a whole new pathway or tunnel ... Showing you another aspect or facet to that persons personality and at times these mere words reflect a layer of that person's soul........
I wish we could have such conversations more often

Thank God for languages to help us express our feelings & experiences.

What kind of world would it be if we din't have words??
Scary thought for me... Coz I love to read & can't imagine a world without words - written & spoken.

That reminds me of the annual book sale that's going to be here shortly; they say it's going to be the largest book sale in the whole world!
Looking forward to this sale; again I need a strategy for this year to pick my authors or genre before heading there.

On another note....I am singing 'its only words & words are all I have ... To take your heart away...'

A relaxed Saturday morning

Well hardly.... With baby getting up at 5:30 am; and then he was super excited to see us all near him and that 'inspired' him to play n play he did for the next 3 odd hours!!!! Goshhhhhh we're ready to scream n shout out for help.
Where is super nanny when you need her??
Now the baby sleeps peacefully while we scramble around to get on with daily chores &@@&$)$&

And we are spring cleaning .... Again

Every holiday day starts with us all cleaning whatever we can lay our hands on... Baby is kept busy with lots of toys.
Today we did the toy room (again); the baby's cabinet, and the study table...
All's not finished; as there are tiny things that need a place.
My plan for our home now is to follow this statement 'your home should be a reflection of who you are'; and 'your home should rise up to greet you when you step inside'.
Still a long long way to get there; but I'm going to take baby steps at this and really trim down and organize things like they used to be when I was much more energetic n enthusiastic....gwaad I'm sounding old!!

Happy weekend n stay safe!
