15 Marbles

Moments.Musings.Memories. ❤️Gathering little marbles from ordinary days and keeping them for our memory jar. ❤️

  • Last year, we surprised my aunt and cousins.They had made their peace that I won’t be able to attend my Sofi’s wedding.24th Oct is Sahil’s b’day and as far as possible..all of us are together on b’days and special occasions.So,everyone was supposed to meet at my dad’s in the evening. Dad picked me up from ILs and we got there just in time to surprise everyone! The screams of 4 excited females(aunt,Tuku,Sofi and yours truly) filled up the house and Aadi(then 2.5 years old) ran around us in circles,excitedly! OMG!I am not going to forget that scene for as long as I live.
    Today,Sahil is in Adelaide,all alone,finishing up an assignment..I so wish,I could be there with him.I wish I could have baked a cake for him..
    Anyway..this is the THIS of today’s post..As for THAT..I thought about it..a lot,as to whether I should share this here AGAIN or not..and then,I think,I should.Feel free to laugh or shake your head..Its time for serious weight loss.
    Before going to India,I had lost nearly 6 kgs and when I came back,I had gained half of it back..I tried and knocked off another kg..but thats it..and the sad bit is,I am still FARRRRRRRR from the ideal weight..Now that warm weather is here,I have started my walks again..and am starting South Beach tomorrow. I did this 2 years back,,when I had just weaned off Aadi and its amazing the way,the weight comes off.
    What I like about this diet is that I can still eat food that I cook for DH and Aadi..only omit and/or restrict carbs.
    Anyone wants to be my weight-loss buddy?

  • This time,last year,I was in India!Last year,on Oct 22nd,as I was getting ready to leave for the airport,I got a call from my very close friend,M’s MIL,that M had just delivered a baby boy..and today,we just got back from that baby’s first birthday party!And wow…what a party it was!
    Why do babies grow up so soon?? I saw this little baby when he was 2 months old and now,Ms.Aadya’s day doesn’t end without talking about him.And whoever she meets,she tells them about her brother-BabyN!
    Half the weekend is over..:) more later!

  • Thats my current state right now.Round 2 of spring allergies. Had a long tiring day,with an irritable and tantrum-prone child.The worse came when we went to the mall in the evening..3 meltdowns in less than 2 hours.DH took one look at my tired face and took her under his wings..no..not to give me a break..but to actually save her from my irriation..yeah whatever!!!
    I think she is feeling burnt out from all the tantrums n exhaustion too.. we fought n made up,God knows how many times today…wish I could just hug her,forget about the day..and erase it..for both of us..
