Its been more than a week since we came back from India..and it feels like we’ve never been away..well almost..if u don’t peep in the guest-room,you would never know that we were away!The guest-room is where all the bags have been stashed-still unopened.
This time I am in no rush to unpack ..and it feels good to get on a daily basis,without digging in the suitcases.:)
There has been a small shift in the equation,this time..I was elated to go visit family..But,I kept stealing glances,at the place,I call home here.I was happy to be with my family and friends..but,I kept feeling,something is missing..I kept wishing,they were visiting instead…:) And no,its not about Melbourne..its not about Australia..its just about being in your comfort zone in your space.:)I don’t even know,if 10 years down the line,if we will still be here…but for now,this is home..and I love it with all its pluses and minuses!

One of my favorite bloggers Patricia of Colors Decor,is hosting a Table Top Party this August.
I love to play around with colors and small knick-knacks..around the living room and keep changing my table top settings,as and when I feel like.
This week,I set up the coffee table and dining table,with my newly acquired treasures.
My Aunt gifted me this beautiful bowl,this time,when I was in Bombay.I simply LOVE it! We were going to buy another bowl-which was beautiful,gold and red,very busy design,until,our eyes rested on this one..and then,there was no looking back. I am soo glad I picked this one.
The table-cover is one of my dupattas.This one is a gift from the ILs.They picked it up from Amritsar.Its beautiful,but, I’ve never used it..And when I saw the bowl,this is the first thing that came to my mind.
And this is what my dining table looks like this festive season.The table cover is again one of my bandhani dupattas with golden block printed Paisley.The Warli placemats are hand-painted and laminated by my MIL’s neighbour.I didn’t want to put too many things on the table,because of busy hands-a.k,a Ms.Aadya,hence the simple salt-pepper shakers.
And last but not the least,My favorite table- My picture table..and my favorite Ganesha sits on it.
Tell me what’s on your table top?

So,we are back home..and settling in..
We are still jet-lagged,waking up almost at noon..well I wake up by 10.00 and Ms.Aadya by noon..:) And I still haven’t unpacked:D..
We are still fighting a flu and cold ..but its so nice to be home.
Surprisingly,this is the first time,that I was home-sick in bombay..and couldn’t wait to get back HOME! And I felt guilty for feeling that way..but I still wanted to be home.I wanted to sleep in my bed..be in my kitchen..:D
Yeah crazy me…
Our first morning here,I kept hearing the phones and door-bells,the dog barking..It was still too early,to call up my dad..Aadi was still sleeping.I made myself a cup of masala tea..and sipped it quietly..and I quite liked it:)
I finished my tea and rang up dad..he was having his tea too…we had a moment there..he was missing the little brat,following him around,blackmailing him for Paanch Rupiye(Rs.5) or ice-cream..or asking him to the take the dog for his 4th walk of the morning..”Nanu,mera frisky bhai is bored…he wants to go for a walk”… “Nanu jaldi karo,frisky bhai ko susu karna hai”(Nanu,hurry up,brother frisky,wants to go potty)…who cares,that Frisky bhai was busy sleeping under his favorite chair!!
Rest is ..the same..we were away for just a month..but seems like a longg time.. normal blogging will resume soon!!
Hope everyone is well..
P.S.- Huge appologies to those of you,who I couldn’t call/email or meet..we spent 3 out of 4 weeks sick..please forgive me..I will reply to ur emails soon..
More later,my Loveliesssss -
so I can write a post today..:P I am going to blabber..about my day today..
We went for haircuts today,with my uncle..Aadi calls him Nasik Nanu..Nasik Nanu had a blast spoiling her rotten…be it with popcorn and cotton candy,ice-cream,games parlour..or just carrying her around in the mall.The brat wanted to take her stroller to the mall…but we refused…so she pouted..”then I will get tired..”
Nasik Nanu said,”Then,I will pick you up”…. and thats it…the diva retained only “pick you up” and insisted on him carrying her…all the time…LOL!
Right now,Nanu,my dad is held captive..he is not allowed to go to his room..The diva is combing his hair and he is telling her stories..LOL!!
How was your day?
