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.

Happy Diwali

I've been following sister BK Shivani's pravachan for sometime now. A friend of mine had recommended them to me when I was struggling with some situations. I can connect to many of the topics she speaks about. One such topic that keeps recurring is this - ' Accept others as they are ' Obviously this is easier said than done, and not something that can happen overnight. But on sincerely practicing, it truly can bring one peace because you do away with expectations and hence disappointments - which are the key to discontentment in life. So, this Diwali let's give everyone on our list this one gift - I ACCEPT YOU AS YOU ARE.

My take on 'Taare zameeen par'

I finally watched the movie yesterday and was quite moved by it. It's very encouraging that not only more and more socially responsible movies are being made in India, but also that the audience is welcoming them. The boy's performance was superb, can't say the same about Aamir . To me the let down in the movie was that the situation was played down quite a bit, in a way too filmy. Also, at the end, the parents only seemed to care that the kid was finally 'normal', without understanding the kid's nature, his agony or even how the kid got those 'progress' reports. That was a bit too commercial for me. But that's just my opinion. Hope these kinds of movies have some positive impact on the society.

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.
