ma is holding up two placards that dad has written out, at the airport
one placard says:
welcome
firstborn
baby param
MiM
**
the other reads
welcome
baby param
firstborn
MiM
****
just 38 minutes in chennai, and where I stand in the pecking order is very very clear.
Twopointthree kids, sixpointsix ideas on raising them 
LOL!
there is a phrase in urdu…i cant remember the exact words..shaamil shumaar-e-tasbih mein Imam nahi…one counts all the beads in the rosary except the long one which is a marker. Thats you MIM!
Re: the baithak comment, ha! ha! I think you are confusing it with Tashreef which is a polite way to refer to the “behind” or as you said on what one sits.
nope. i still maintain that baithak sounds v.v.v. similar to the English word for posterior (8)
**
the other beads on my rosary are pressing a few keys on this desktop..
(so
i have t
o read and understand the
cuopl
et
in a bit)
here goes, the exact couplet is:
Jo Khaas hain, woh shareek giroh aam nahi
Shumaar daana’e tasbeeh mein Imam nahi
Ahem. I think you should be glad they even remembered you. My parents leave me standing with luggage and a smile that no one returns
while they gush over you know who. And they don’t have the excuse of living in a different country!
lol! so it’s widely prevalent… it hasnt gotten better, i continue to merge with the wallpaper
Rotfl:)
So you are in Chennai:)Welcome Mim!
Chalo atleast a bloggie friend put you first!lol
thanks Nivi:-)
Chennai Welcomes you Friend! Enjoy! Great your mom had MiM in the list:) How long? I’m back for good December End:)
awesome. then we shall meet. am back in KL next year
poramaya irukku..u hop over to India just like that..njoy maadi and give us lots of stories from there.
hey! sub! long time no hear. kid all ok? do you feel like it’s time to start your own mommy blog?
It took you all these years to realize your place?????? Thank your stars you featured on both the lists though !!
Enjoy your stay @ home and did you book your tickets to ‘Robot’ yet? I thought you would head straight to the movie hall…baggage and all.
KL misses you dearly 😦
hey! Robot was on my agenda BEFORE i left for chennai. the mmmim owes me that. will collect when i get back
You mean they didn’t make *you* hold the placards while they were busy hugging/cuddling/cooing over the grandkids?!
v.v.v accurate. chox. that’s what eventually happened
At least your name was on the placard… and you weren’t handed over the placards to hold while FB and param were being mooned over… be thankful!
i had to lug the placards along with the luggage… firstborn disappeared into a cloud of hugs and kisses
:)) lmao
Like many said, at least you *Were* on the placards, instead of completey forgotten in grandkid-adoration…
i was the P.S.
Aiyyo paavum MiM! This be life:(
Anyhow, have a ball- let them take over all childcare responsibilities, na!
childcare responsibilities are still my department.
i have already gotten 273 lectures on “Model Parenting” though
Ouch:(
Enjoy the kaapi!
I agree…atleast you were on the placards..you should be glad…
and enjoy your stay MiM..
thanks RS. love to the dimpled One
i welcome you with the placard, ‘what news of your middle finger, MiM?’
lol! that’s tooo risque for chennai; chennai may deport me back to KL
the term “uppukku chappani” comes to one’s mind.
