Our third and hopefully last "nine month" plan :)

"Nothing important happens in life when one gets too comfortable" - is a quote that we came across recently and realized that it is the case with us. It is not a bad thing necessarily, but it is definitely the case. Life is quite comfortable and it is going to bring many good things in the future. However, there is one aspect of it that has been nagging both of us for quite sometime now. So we both did some soul-searching last month and decided to go for "it".

Due Date: May 31, 2008

First trimester plan (in progress)
  • Prepare ourselves and the kids for the BIG news.
  • Prepare the house for the BIG event.
  • PUT THE HOUSE UP FOR SALE :)
  • Take a deep breath and wait......

Second trimester
  • Research about/apply for schools
  • If house is sold, dispose of extra stuff and move into a temp apt.
  • (Hopefully) finish up the USC interview???
  • Take a deep breath and wait......

Third trimester (ONLY IF HOUSE IS SOLD)
  • Inform the school about the transfer
  • Take a deep breath
  • Complete final preparations
  • Take a deep breath
  • Shop a lot
  • Take a deep breath
  • Ship stuff
  • Take a deep breath
  • Buy a one-way ticket to HYD and get on the plane.

So, that's the plan.

All kidding aside, we are currently working on putting the house up for sale, hopefully by the third week of October and ONLY if that gets materialized we'll move ahead with the rest of the plan.

Ofcourse, (crossing fingers) we'll still be a family of 4.

The Book of Secrets

Tharini had tagged me to write about a material object which holds lots of memories and here it goes.... My husband had gifted me this CD on our 2 nd anniversary and right the next day we'd moved into an 8 th floor apartment with a sweeping view. There we used to listen to this CD almost every evening, sitting in the balcony. Anytime I pop in this CD, it magically transports me to that place. I can see the apartment floating in front of my eyes, the layout, the view, the roses we had in the balcony, the conversations we used to have.... everything. I remember even the distinct smell of our stinky dishwasher ;) Anyway, it's one of my favorite CDs to this day. I particularly like the second song : 'The Mummers' dance'.

Reminiscing

Reading a post about toddlers' home-brewed language prompted me to do a post on blueM&M's vocabulary during his second year of life: "ma" = spoon or pen "na-na" = nighty-night, sleepy "thakathak" = computer Maybe it's because the keyboard makes that kind of a noise. "ayyayyo" = broken "aa khachak" = piercing with a fork "Goggulgo Goggulgo Goggulgo ..." = I want that The frequency of the word indicated how desperately he wanted the thing. To this day we haven't been able to figure out how he made up that word. It certainly has nothing to do with any language that I know of. . . . Unfortunately (or not) pinkM&M's language had developed very fast, so we don't have many funny memories, except for the one where she'd say 'M pussing me' for 'M pushing me'. But I could definitely do a post on her expressions.

Touching base

R2I has taken a shape of it's own and it's driving us now and not the other way around. We have the final date set in stone : May 14 th it is. It twists my stomach to even imagine what it's going to feel like, to just say Good bye to the land that's been home for 13 years. Anyway, not the time to get emotional. The shipping date is about 2 weeks away, so we're scrambling and running around, buying stuff. So many to do lists and so little time...... Will try to post again soon.
