It is raining hard...and the air is cool, finally. :)

Saturday was lovely - reading, meditating, spending time with my Nani and mama, kids having a sleepover with their cousin....

And then there was a drizzle...and mild rain....

Today was more of the same....except we have thick black clouds and a lot of thunder. :)

Any film buffs stationed in Mumbai? I mean Bollywood classics kind of film buffs. I just received an e-invite from Subhash Ghai's film school and they are screening _Raja Harishchandra_ plus many other movies, including B&W classics I'd have loved to see on the big screen. Dates: June 1 to 3.

Just one invite so it goes to the first person who wants it.

Aj: Oh, mum, we broke our water bottle today.
R: Oh. What happened?
Aj: My friend and I were playing hockey with our bottles and mine went further but broke. I think it wasn't strong enough.
[pause]
Aj: You know what that should teach us?
R: Do tell.
Aj: We should only buy steel water bottles.

Has anyone else ever managed to get a paper-cut on the eyeball?

There is some 'Junior Chefs' cooking show or the other on TV these days. And the kids have both developed an interest in cooking. Aj learned to make 'burned cheese' yesterday. And today's experiment must be different.

Anyway, just overheard:

Aj asks K a question.
K answers it.
Aj asks another question.
K: Aj, remember! It is all in the presentation.

Given that I have spent many hours talking of branding today, that amuses me no end. :)

Aj: Mum! Look!
R, sleepy: Hmm?
Aj: Look!
R: HMMM?
Aj: So many ants are doing wall climbing on this wall!

R starts to laugh

Read today:

X: You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Y: What mood is that?
X: Last-minute panic!

It is officially summer. The month of Jyeshtha has started and the mercury has climbed up to 44C. Urk.
I need the Himalayas.

My BFF's pricing policy is driving me nuts. And I thought *I* was bad at charging for services offered.

***

I can't seem to eat grains or salt. It makes me throw up. So I am existing on fruits and milk. It has been more than a week now.

pmax3, mail if needed. Even though I haven't sent the last mail I promised you....

My baby just picked me a bunch of flowers. :)

And not from my garden.... ;)

They have bought me flowers and gifts on b'days and mother's days...but this...this is special. No occasion, just remembering me while he played. :)

Aj had his first dart match with K today. The scores were:

Aj: 988
K: 1240

I have also been instructed to point out how close the match was, even though he was playing with his 5-yrs-older sister. I strongly suspect you all are supposed to be highly impressed and complimentary. :)
