The first night !!!

Girlssssss.... please stop rolling your eyes as soon as you see the title !
Guys, stop getting any fancy ideas too.


This post about my first night is just as innocent as a baby's smile... Trust me, after all, It's a about how I spent an entire night without my darling kiddos.

After a round in Asia and America, when we decided to get back to India, God decided that we stay in Orissa. If Kerala is "God's own country", shall I describe this low-profile state as "Goddess' own country" ?? There seemed to be a temple every hundred yards !!

With the blazing heat welcoming me, I was trying hard to digest that this will be called HOME !! Yeah, in the same attempt of setting up a home, here I am to have a look at some of the houses and prospective schools for my kids.

As soon as I reached the planned city of Bhubaneshwar, the first thing my husband said " Wow, thanks for coming... it's the first time you came anywhere without the kids !". I felt stabbed with the statement. Didn't I ever really leave them for the past 5 years, not even for a day?? Hmmm, thats so utterly true. As we were driving to our hotel, I calmly realized that there wasn't a single day in the past 5 years, when I didn't clean baby bottles and didn't change diapers.
Too many negatives in one sentence?? Trying to make the positive out of it, baby !!

So, here I am in Orissa, spending a couple of days viewing and rejecting homes.. but the main point here is, spending a couple of days without my babies. Do I like it ? Well, who would like it?? But am literally surprised with the ease they are adjusting to their new mom, spelt "ammamma" here... Was I half-expecting a melodrama here? Hmmm...

A friend of mine once said, "Take a break... you can resume your duties with fresher energy!!". Indeed, breaks are healthy... but yeah, as I woke up the first morning in my life, without attempting to change a smelly diaper, I was already missing my sons.

PS: Bhubaneshwar is nothing what I anticipated !! The planned and clean roads, the greens everywhere, the very-less pollution, and much wider roads !! Wait, there's a Cafe Coffee day here...
So, I forget everything about missing my sons and dig into a much calorific "Devil's own". Yeah, breaks are healthy !! hahaha
