Clothes maketh the lady

I have a problem in hand. My daughter refuses to wear any of her home wear stuff. Either her best clothes or none at all. She will rather walk around the house n*ked (one has to be wary of Web sense censoring words) than wear any of her old clothes - and one thing V cant stand is a little girl exposing herself in today's wicked world. She doesnt mind wearing her brother's homewear clothes though.

I have no such problems with Ash - once in a while he insists on his Superman t-shirt but otherwise he is least bothered about what he is wearing. It is actually tougher to get him to get out of something he is wearing, whereas Mira changes hers at the drop of a drop of water.

I guess I will have to give away all her old clothes and introduce the older outing clothes for homewear. Sigh! But I am still hoping that she will get over this phase.

WE have been running from pillar to post to find a cure for Ash's affliction. Early dawn today, V took a sleeping Ash to a Siddha doctor called Uma Maheshwari in Tiruvallur in the company of the family (a first cousin) who recommended her to us. The doctor meets patients from 5 am to 1 pm and they managed to be the second in the line. The fee is nominal but the journey is long and arduous. She gives medicines for a week only.

Ash didnt itch after we applied the oil she gave. Now we need to get his stomach clear of all the allopathic stuff he has been taking - she thinks it has prolly affected his liver which is why his lips are getting darkish and his eyes are getting darker. No seafood, no tea and coffee, she prescribes. No other diet restrictions.

p.s. The Ayurveda treatment can wait, V says, though the medicine landed by courier. We are not sure how we can get him to take 300 ml of bitter kashayam everyday for 6 months.

Thanks. When I see Ash's bruised body I am reminded of the kind of afflictions mentioned in the New Testament that Jesus cured.
The Siddha has not given him any relief yet. His suffering is terrible that I feel it is better to go back to the steroid allopathic creams.

My daughter Bembi, too loves to wear nothing...and her dad has the same stand as your husband:)

It takes ages to get her to wear something if we had to change her dresses.

I hope Ash's skin ailment gets better.

 If I thought I wouldnt be able to withstand the trauma of watching #Aadujeevitham / #Goat Life, a real-life survival drama starring Prithvi...
