my ma remains high on her grudging quotient. check tag for more info. she pointed a chap at a party of about 100 people: “see that man. he’s the one that didnt give me a lower berth. on our return trip from kodai.” i think she stayed on at the party only to poison his paneer.
**
a friend visited me. only to check if the rumours were true. indeed. she was horrified to find MY toenails are painted.
**
many people commented that I had lost weight. note to self. continue waxing arms. i look at least 27 gms lighter that way.
**
this was the india trip with the least photos. it took longer for me to reach the wedding hall from home. than it took me to reach chennai from KL. traffic bit into us.
**
love wedding Polis. and the hot ghee.
**
Saravana Bhavan, Mylapore. present. Vrindavan at New Woodlands. Present. the idli wasnt a stone but it could have been. CreamCentre RA Puram. absent. and regretting the sizzling brownie+icecream.
**
we dressed the boys in cream and white kurtas and persuaded them to NOT pull at the drawstring of their respective pyjamas. and they slept through the wedding reception. not awake for even 30 seconds of a 120 minute reception.
**
the in-laws are here. felt liberated that i could run down to the store and buy sugar. ALL BY MYSELF. and sun tv serial update: there’s thendral and chellamae and nadaswaram. soon. will tell you which is the absolute awfulest.
**
off. to reply to earlier comments. you guys do most of your writing when i am not around: 400 items on google reader.
Twopointthree kids, sixpointsix ideas on raising them 
If I wax eloquently about how good it is to have you back – will you consider my comments to be smarter ?
At least put up a photo of the Poli w/Ghee – vicarious consumption for famished readers
before i could click a photo, it was gone.
Chellamey is the absolute awfulest. I have had my in-laws here for three months 🙂
Now it’s my turn for planning wedding, trip, hot poli, manicures and waxing. I don’t think the last item is going to make people say I lost weight 😦
(making mental note to check CreamCenter!)
thirumathi selvam is pretty atrocious, i thought. chellamey is nutty too. hate the way all the babes are playing the veena in the title song.
and waxing is slimming. trust me
The last time the inlaws were here, we’d subscribed to desi channels. And to my surprise, MIL was more interested in the Indian Idol type singing competitions and not in these serials. But me and the spouse were totally addicted.
the ILs are asking firstborn’s permission if they can change channels for a minute. really i have to take over control of this house. sooon.
Ditto at my home too. MIl was last seen asking lil P. 1 time ajji channel plssssssss. I will make u maggi, n give u chips and not tell ur mom if u let me watch for 2 mins. HMPH.
welcome back 🙂
thanks/
LOL Welcome bk 🙂
🙂
Hey great to have you back…hmm the waxing does work is it…I have to try that for the next wedding…
and slept through the reception….thats so cute 🙂
because the kids slept — we had a loooong dinner. that’s why i remember how the poli tasted
If waxing could make you 27 gms lighter,poli/with ghee and those listed restaurants could help you increase 2700 gms.
it already has. but i am still going to fight the fat, with waxing.
run then like my friend in chennai – you will shed all 2673 gm net gain and bet you’ll beat the traffic too.
i could run. but the kids are running after me. why?
i think i have a bear gene sequence as far as hugging and hairy arms are concerned.
i should follow the waxing tip too.
and welcome back!
do you also like honey?
and hibernate?
agmark Mim post. loved it
hey thanks:-)
r u already back?
OMG !!
I am just out of jetlag !
( I guess I was lazy too )
really sorry that couldnt mail you. it got totally chaotic towards the end and trip was hectic with VK.
totally empathise. been there.
and im sort of surprised that the boys didn’t pull the drawstrings of the other one’s pyjamas.
(You only told them not to pull out their own, right?)

you painted your toe nails? you clearly want to break away from being my soul sister- you traiter you!
chennai- please make a list of things i have to do- am off in august.

Have a screening in chennai and then one day of nothing. Am waiting for your post listing a road map for loitering.

Have you flown the nest again? We are suffering from withdrawal symptoms here.
Lets form a MiM-aholics Anonymous group and setup a 10-step program for (temporary) recovery
hahha. Step 1 is PV writing 2 posts a day so we are suitably distracted.

And so where exactly is the MiM? I demand to know.
Come back soon.
