Arna office
Saturday afternoon, Arnav and I were watching some cartoons on TV. It was getting close to his nap time, so I told him, “Arnav, time to do taathi(sleep)”. Up until then he was perched on my lap, resting his head on me. The moment I said the sleep word, he got up, sat down and with a serious face he says, “Mama, go up, taathi. Arna office”.

(Untitled)
Our teeny tiny backyard was a place that had some weird kind of grass growing in tiny patches along with weeds. The rest of the area was clay which when you dig up, you get the remnants from during the construction times. While we were gone to India, N got the land evened out, some soil put and a nice lawn laid. The place still needs a lot of work ( Read more... ) -
Trying to get back
After my last post, which was way back in February, I was busy with the pre-travel arrangements before we left for India. It was Arnav’s first visit and I was going back home after almost 5 years.

Overworked?
Given the current economic situation, the downsizing trends in companies (if not bankruptcy), has had some impacts in the lives of the remaining workforce. N for one has been so much occupied with work, he had had to pass on some of the tasks to, guess who? None other than Arnav. The poor baby is slogging so much these days.

Foxglove
This year we cleaned up the garden of some plants that we were not too happy with, basically drab looking evergreens and we planted some flowering ones instead. One of them which I liked a lot is the Foxglove. I like how the flowers come up in bunches and add so much of color to the garden. Not only are they beautiful, they are perennials. After ( Read more... ) -
Irises from my garden
I had planted some Irises last year and I was hoping they would come up. When they did not, I thoughts the bulbs were eaten by either the squirrels or the grubs in the ground. I was planning on planting something else in its place this year, but I am glad I did not. Come spring and I see tiny shoots coming up. I was so glad. I get to enjoy the ( Read more... )
