Updates

This semester zoomed by me. I am still wondering how I am on the verge of my final exams when I had just started. Man, it's crazy!

But in a way, it's good that I didn't get much time to sit back and let my mind wander. Because no sooner do I do that, my mind immediately goes back to momma. This is the first weekend in the entire semester when I have stayed at home and actually relaxed a bit. I had caught cold and had mild fever since last week and badly wanted to rest. Maybe, the stress that had built up all this while contributed to it too.

Friday and Saturday were gloomy with rains pouring outside. I loved this time to recuperate...I listened to songs, watched a movie after 3-4 months (Barah Aana), slept like I always wanted to and lazed around. Although I will have to rev up again as I have a number of assignments and presentations in the coming 10 days.

It's been 3 months already since mom left - and now only 3 more remain before she comes back! Yayyy...By the way, she is going to Muscat to stay with dad next week, for little over a month. Then she will again go back to India with dad for his sinus operation - the trouble which has plagued him since decades but which has now become extremely irritating and painful.

After the operation, dad goes back and mom comes here - and this will be the last time she will have to keep running around. After my graduation, I shall ensure that she has some stability in life, at least now, after 56 years. Who likes to leave his/her home and keep moving to new places? Especially, when parents become grandparents, they prefer living in serenity and having their children take over all the responsibilities.

By the way, I forgot to tell that I am gonna become a 'chacha' in October, YEEHOOO! GOD is great that he set up everything well so that mom, myself and probably even dad will be here during that happy period. Because, my brother has no plans of returning for at least until the next 6-7 years and I doubt if mom, dad and I will ever come back to the US after we leave.
