The country celebrates another Independence day and I am here at work, mainly because we get overtime wages today! V has the day off. He has got an iPod shuffle from his company as a gift - a goodwill gesture to all employees there. Technology is amazing - we have gone a long way from the time of stereo players and walkmans.
I am off to Kerala tomorrow to see my kids. V will land there on Saturday. WE have recruited a maid from an agency in Kottayam on a 6-month contract. She is now at my inlaws' place taking care of Mira. The agency charges 1-month of their salary as commission from us. She says she is a first-timer, driven to this job owing to financial liabilities. That is why most maids come - debts and a drunkard husband. Let me see how this one goes. We might bring back Mira first, not now, but after our Bangalore trip.
Ash cried yesterday after we spoke to him, mom said. Dad was a bit angry with us for not having toilet-trained him. Thinks if he doesn’t learn now it will take up a long time to come round to it. But all Western baby websites tell me that toilet training can start when the kid turns 2 or 2 ½.
Dad is trying to discipline him! For someone who instilled so much awe in us, he seems to have softened quite a bit.

As an aspiring blogger i first congratulate you on succeeding where i have so far failed!!The biggest problem as i see it is my very limited computer accessibility.But i got a vicarious enjoyment from reading your blog through and through.Apart from your perrenial..er perenial or is it perennial well whatever maid problem i think your major problem is also the guilt complex all working mothers lug around.I dont think we have anyother choice than to grin and bear the situations and give in to grief once in a while to lighten the heart.
