Easter Bunny greetins!!

  

OOoohh Oouch OctOber!!

Oct brings back a lot of memory of Oct'2007!! of how my due date kept oscillatin from 15th to 17th to 19th Oct & in my mind, my dates went from 01/10/07, 10/10/07 & then as nothin happened with any of those dates, my fears of it finally happenin on 22/10/07 - I really really dont like the no 22!!

With all the family down to welcome my kiddy - my grans, in laws & my sis, along with my parents and hubby, it was obvious my kiddy wanted to make an entrance - so he dilly dallied & messed with all my dates!!

Finally, my father-in-law sat down on the 8th day of the stay(2weeks stay) & took the malu calendar & then they started haggling over the stars & finally all settled on a good date - 25th oct!!

So, naturally they were all shocked when I decided to check into the hospital on 24th mornin!!

Oh, I forgot to mention - durin this month of oct, my house is an open-mad house as there's this Onam function for Keralite Engineers Forum, for which my mom choreographs about a 5-6 dance performances for kids!!

So, along with my relatives, these 1000 odd people were awaitin my baby's entrance & prayin it would b either before or after 26th oct - even they had a date!!

26 - 1/2 hrs later, on 25th evenin, he arrives amidst my breathin mask, epidural, minus my specs(am sure my lens would've popped out) & in front of 5 students, 3 docs & 4 nurses! With all of them present, I was the one who suggested that they use the vaccum pump!!

& what followed was a mind numbilngly shockin 41 days of horror, with the exception of the baby!!

Well- thats wat oct reminds me of!
This oct however started on the same note - my home being an open - mad house. One day, on the way to pick up my mom from out, this guy hit our rear wheel while v were turnin - the axle promptly broke, swervin the car from the left to right like a pendulum - only we were on the highway. We hit a half lorry twice or thrice & then swerved at 180 degrees to the safe side of the road!! We had hit the lorry at its fuel tank, but luckily nothin happened... anyway - car got damaged, but all were safe & v got it sorted out over the night.

The next big thing was my kiddy's 2nd bday party - this time at Pizza hut - needless to say - he loved the cake, although he did try escapin unnoticed to the playground below!!V had 3 cakes that day - a weddin annversry cake & a bday cake for my brother who was hospitalised on his bday on 13th Oct.

thus starts the reign of the TERRIBLE TWOs !!

& All fall down!!

Recession - in simpler terms!!

That Stoopid Inner Voice!!

I was blissfully on my way to being 'Laziness personified' (if thats a real sentence) in my company, as there wasnt any boss around, except for the big guy who couldnt understand my job profile(designer) & with my desk safely tucked away into a corner, I was in a world of my own!!

& I took complete advantage of that - used to read online, watch movies(@home) till after 4am, then go to office & sleep it off.

A li'l voice in the back of my head reared its really really stoopid head & just got louder & demandin!!

& now, Voila - am in a new company!! same field wit li'l difference!! Went for the interview on sept 24th '08, joined on feb'09, recession havin interfered!!

wit many thanx to a colleague who I particulary didnt like when he was in my previous company(he actually helped me inspite of knowin that he bugs me & still does)!! cause now, am obliged to him. I recently threw up in his car(into a bag), so the obligations gone up a notch!!

I somehow always manage to stand out wherever I go!! 3/4th of the people here are malus & am the only one who doesnt talk malayalam!! My only orkut ebuddy works here coincidentally & he's actin like we never met before!!

I still question the wisdom of makin that jump & that stoopid voice is pipin up again slowly askin me

"What exactly is my purpose in this world?? What do I hope to achieve in my time?"
