Welcome to A's country house..

-
We drove to Snow Mountains on the weekend and we were passing some beautiful country houses with huge farm and farm animals. I asked A whether he would get a country house for me?  He said Yes, two houses on the hills.. One for him and one for me next to each other. How sweet I thought. Then came the twist in his story.. He went on explaining how his house will look like..

He will have dogs in his house obviously, first he said 10 dogs.. I had to admit I’m very very very scared of dogs. He then changed his mind to have one dog for me(still sweet!!).. Dog house would be closer to the entrance gate but dog can walk around anywhere within the fence and inside his house..



Once we cross dog house, there will be snakes (that’s right!!) in these three bottles.. Hearing this, I said I’m not coming to your house.. He is not bothered at this point (cant be sweet all the time..right!!)and kept on explaining,..




he will have 3 baby crocs (Seriously!!!) and once you cross them you will have elevator to the house..



Rabbits will operate the elevator.. Because only Rabbits know to operate them.. Apparently he will also have the moving stairs (escalators)  in his house..



When we asked him about toy room, he said there is no toy room as he has kitchen in his house (no idea how it relates!!)..When my niece asked him whether she could stay in his house, he said NO ‘coz he doesn’t have guest room.. as the house is long and his room is long.. She could stay next door(which is my house)..

I tell him that his house sounds more like a castle. He replied back saying its not castle, it’s a house. Well, for me this sounds more like those old computer games where you need cross diff levels to get to the treasure.

I tell him he needs to wait until he grows up and start to earn money to buy his own house.. His idea is to get cash from his dad and put it in "that" machine which gives coins for it… he will use those coins to buy his house.. how cute and innocent kids can be... Im thinking why did I even grow up..

I really hope he wont end up having snakes and crocs in his house.. I will never ever able to visit him then.. #momworry #boywholovesanimals

Rule of thumb for a blind date is to trust the process and to go on a date with no/zero expectation. You do not know who you are meeting until you see them. You cannot check their FB profile or see their stories in Insta. You go there with open mind. If you are lucky, you get a wonderful experience and stories to tell your grand children. Mine was no different, I must say I was always lucky with my blind dates. I have had so many experience of this. However, it was not like I didn't have a choice. Like most of you I too had a conventional way, but choose another way.  I'm talking about my blind dates with this world. Would you dare to go on a blind date with this world? I would. I certainly would. I love the idea of exploring the world , a new place without a map/GPS in hand. I just love the idea of embracing the local culture without reading a travelogue. I just love to taste local food at a street shop in a small alley 'coz local people eat there. I

Often, I have a casual conversation with A and get surprised by some of his responses which I find very profound. I don't know whether he understands the meaning of it or it's the way children brain work - stick to rudimentary thinking, we adults complicate everything unnecessarily. I have recorded so many of our conversations in my other related posts, but this one deserves a post on its own. Little things matter  be it a gesture of care or love, last night I was down (blame the hormones!!) and was lying next to Aaryan who was busy watching TV. I turned around and asked him whether he would love me forever, he asked me “ What do you want me to say amma! ”. He was genuine when he asked me what I wanted to hear so I would feel better. He knew it was a silly question that I asked, but his presence of mind to check with me when I was feeling low was true blessing. Incident from the past , this is during our recent trip to Mildura and it was a longggg drive(7 ho

My dear pre-teen..

My dear pre-teen,  Part of me wants you to stay young and innocent, but life gets to us all and you grow, and I have to grow as well. First, I want to thank you for putting up with me and my parental demands. You take me by surprise every single day with your patience, focus, attitude, and how you face challenges that are thrown at you. I’m so grateful to watch you grow the way you are growing with kindness, satirical sarcasm, to-the-point-arguments, your excitement to be involved in every adult conversation, and your logical and strategic thinking- you are the best ‘IDEA’ man I know in this world. Thanks for teaching me how to reach for the moon and stars.  This is going to be a big year where you are going to face your first breakups and first ‘goodbyes’ to the wonderful community of friends you grew up with. I don’t know how much you can understand that now, with some of your friends- this might be it. I hope you appreciate their presence in your life and the impact you
