New resolutions!! Step 1 - Recklessness

Ohoh the best part of october was that one evenin - when all were dead tired & slept off by 7pm, me & my kiddy saw Horton's hears a who & he simply loved it!! hence the cake for his bday!!

Ok here comes November – cold weather’s been predicted – really cold!! & voila there are 4days holidays comin along, courtesy eid!! I’ve been nicked named Jet Airways – cause of my 5 trips to India so far. So, there I am –sitting and planning a trip to Egypt for the past full month, when I finally convince myself that its not goin to work out.

With 12.12.2012 loomin on the horizon, I have decided to live a little recklessly by travellin to new places.

I was bookin 2 tickets for my colleagues to Dubai on this low fare flight to dubai & to Bahrain for another – next thing I kno – am ringin up my hubby & tellin him that I have booked tickets & v are flyin to dubai from Nov 27th till Dec2nd.

After a month of planning, maps, hotel brochures scattered around me, We finally board the flight havin forgotten to print out the ticket & my hair frizzin about like I’ve just been electrocuted!!

Dubai – awesome climate!! the hotel apartment everythin – my kiddy’s awesome sleepin pattern - 8pm – 8am thro out the 5 days we were there!!

After breakfast, we would set out by 11am, visit the different places & b back by 7pm and then Dubai One channel, Swiss choco liq & me used to party!! Ofcourse my hubby was there too!!

We visted all the places on our itenary - the dubai mall - the aquariums, the atlantis -the aquarium there.

I found this lady's outfit hilarious - micro shorts with a shawl !!

Touchin the dolphins was really something else!! Basically the 1st creature I volunteeringly touched.


PS: the tube worms pix is from my mobile!!

Back & fourth once again!!

Jet airwayed again back to cochin to pick my baby, mom and to celebrate MIL's 60th bday.

After carefully choosin the flight carrier, they still didnt have individual TVs on this flight and NO baileys once again!!
But since it was wit my hubby, I got Baileys at the duty free in cochin.

Landed amidst heavy & continuous downpour at cochin & promptly left for tvm, reachin there about 6hrs later at night & was reunited with my baby after almost 2 months. But couldnt meet up with Anju who waited for extra 2 hrs for me to show up.

Went to the dentist within 2 days for extraction of 2 wisdom teeth , but the trainee doc says " U need extraction on the left & root canal on the right & follows it by a mind numbingly horrible injection into my mouth-my baby still imitates my scream!! Only for the doc to say that it requires only fillin & careful brushin - I now wish he had either extracted or done the root canal.
Along with the irregular antibiotics, my faithful & quickly emptyin bailey's kept the pain down - after which mom says its dangerous to mix the 2!!so, I stopped the anti-biotics!!

Went to cochin & did the dutiful daughter in law stuff there, all the while keepin my baby at about 10 yards distance from his 4yr cousin brother who couldnt avoid gettin hit from my kid!!

Wrenched my weddin ring off my swollen(from pregnancy) finger after almost 2yrs & now its too big to fit in!!

To Baileys with Love - part 1

Introduction of my Induction :
tHe first I had - was from my dad's stock of johnny walker scotch - dry - my cousin & I coughed a lot & then went on to create our very first chat id - chat2scotch@Y
tHe 2nd was when Anju either decided v were mature enough or when she gave up on that idea ever becomin a reality!! sHe took kavitha & myself to her terace & gave us 20-80% - 7up, vodka, much to my protest!! But come to think of it - to get down, v had to climb down the very narrow metal ring ladder & below were the 2 german sheperds(copper & pepper) kennels after havin my 1st serious taste of liq..!!

aNyhoo, years later when she told me of Bailey's Irish crème, I was sceptical bcause of its coffee flavour. But fell in love with from the very first sip.

bOught my very first drink - Bailey's from dubai airport in jan'07 on my way to India to attend my sister's weddin!! tHere - due to lack of privacy, no room & kidies company, I had to refrain. But after the weddin, when I finally went to get it, it was gone - vanished & I'd had just 2 sips so far - it had accidently gone wit my driver who then mistook it for a cream. Rushed to ngl & was so grateful to get it bac, that I didn’t mind the ants crawlin all around it !! Took two more sips, then gifted it to kavitha - I kno - how generous of me!! It was actually her gift in the 1st place!!
Turns out - I was expectin my baby by then - so God helped me in his twisted ways!!
along with that baileys, I had gotten anju a sherry - which I couldn’t give her & what happened to it? My dad & uncle drank it all sayin at each sip that it tasted bad!!

& thats how my luck goes with these stuffs!! sO close, yet always far!!!!
