I am back…

After being away for a month and a half,  I’m back here… Oh! how much I missed this space.

More than posting, what I missed was reading my favourite blogs. So, the last two days, I hopped into all my favourite blogs and read all the posts I had missed.

Being new here, I did not expect any one to even notice my absence, leave alone missing me. But I was really surprised to find a message from Visha of  Zack and Visha. I was instantly on cloud nine.  Visha, you made my day. Thanks a ton:)

For me 2013 started on a bad note. I fell ill on the eve of  the new year. On the 1^st and 2^nd day of the year, I was down with high fever. I recovered in a week’s time, but then my Babs fell ill. It started with a cough and cold and developed to  chest congestion and high fever. My hyperactive and cheerful Babs became completely inactive. The smile he always had, was gone. On 10^th Jan we were to fly to kerala for a month long vacation and on 9^th night we were in the hospital. After injections, suppositories and nebulisation sessions, by 10^th evening he got better. Though his cough and cold continued, his smile was back and he was active. This is something really amazing about kids, no matter how ill they are, they start playing the moment they can lift their head.

Finally on 11^th Jan we were back home. A month passed like a week and we came back to Dubai on 11^th Feb.

I was sure that I would be online and actively blogging back home, as there was internet connection at both my parent’s and in-law’s home. But KSEB (Kerala State Electricity Board) and BSNL  had other plans. Thanks to KSEB , the power did not go off occasionally, rather power came occassionaly :(. And BSNL made sure that the internet connection was lost or very very slow whenever there was power. And then my Babs and relatives/guests made sure that on the very particular moment, that came once in a blue moon, when both power and internet are available, I was not available to make use it 😦

So in a nut shell, let me borrow SRK’s dialogue from OSO, but with a change, “agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaaho , toh poori kaynath tumhein usse ‘door’  karne  ki koshish mein lag jaati hai’ . Seriously yaar , it happens with me every time !

More on the vacation in my next post.
