http://bloginterviewer.com/randomness/read-on-sindhu-manoj

Hey guys it has been a long time since i wrote about ammu .....so here it is .......
Last evening Ammu made her first phone call to her friend and classmate Noha (yeah the little one from their gang of four and whom ammu calls Muuha hahaha ) .
Well suddenly she came up to me and asked sweetly " Amma can i call my friend Muha , please " with the most angelic face and smile ...and naturally i agreed .

She herself dialled the number .......i told her how to start the conversation ...
Ring ring ring .and then someone picked .....and u should have seen the change on hr face her eyes twinkled as if a thousand starts shone in them ..........
"Hello can i speak to Muha ...... I am Meenakshi "

Slight wait with happiness drippin from those round eyes .........
"Hi MUHAAAAAAAAAAA .....small giggles .......hi what are you doing .again giggles and more typical girly giggles .........i am playing ........."
Suddenly she asked me " Amma now what do i say "............i told her to ask her if she had finished studying for the next days exam and what she drew for her drawing exam .........
"Muha whatdid you draw ???"
heheheh again giggles and happy eyes shining ...

"Did you read "

Then i took the phone from her since she did not know what else to speak , and on the other end Noha /Muha was telling " Meenakshi please speak to my grandmother "
So i gave the phone to ammu and she said " Hello .........I am fine , how are you ...."
Again at a loss of words , so i again took the phone .........
The Noha's mom took our number too so that Noha cud call Ammu when she wanted ....

So i guess that is a start to a daily dose of " Hello Muha what are you doing " and i guess our phone bills will be a bit more higher from now :)))

Ammu has grown ......enough to make her own phone calls !!! and gone is the little baby who cried non stop for 10minutes when the phone bell rang !!!

Movie or Logic ?

http://bloginterviewer.com/randomness/read-on-sindhu-manoj

If you choose the movie u can surely enjoy it , but if u choose to hunt for logic in the story then u better sit at home and dont waste ur time and money to go to the theater .
Recently we went for a Hindi movie Om Shanti Om ........before we went we got a lot ...and i mean a lot of opinions , comments , appraisals , criticism etc etc etc . Come on guys we are going for a movie to have some entertainment , please dont spoil it wih these talks .And well all people are not the same ...all have their own views and opinions that is ok , but thrusting it on all around u opps no !!!
These are some of the comments we got ........How can farah khan (the director )stoop so low and make such horrible movies , u definitely should not see it (well i guess that ismy wish , or is it my wish )
Another one was the movie is toooooooooooooooooo good go watch it today now (pl get me the tickets i wud surely go ) and he proceeded to tell me the story too and spoiled allthe suspense .
This one takes the cake ...........HMMph " Sharukh Khan looks like the heroines father , he is so old why cant he sit at home ?!""" How dare she how dare she , insulting one of the best stars in the film worl sharukh khan my hero ..........................how dare she ?

Well guys when you go to watch a movie go for the fun of it , not to criticise or comment or compare .........hello it is just a movie not a reality show (well that is also made up these days ) .........
When u were small and ur parents told you bed time stories did you ask so many questions , did you compare no no you just listened with big eyes filled with wonder , sadness , joy , anxiety , fear ....................well that is the best way to enjoy a story ...............
Go on laugh loud , cry , shout at the villain , tease the clown , have fun ..........well that is entertainment for you and havent you heard .................there should be no questions in a story .............

Where is the dress ???

http://bloginterviewer.com/randomness/read-on-sindhu-manoj

Manoj and ammu and me went to shop for dresses for our little princess . We got into one of the most reputed shops since we always want the best for our angel .
As we got in the CRE directed us with a wish and a smile to the ladies and Kids section .
So off we went to the 2nd floor .
I particularly liked one section and all the dresses especially the skirts were perfect for Ammu (my little daughter of 5 years ) . Wow i jus loved these dresses .I asked manoj what he thought about it and he said whew the kind of fashions these kids have now ....i remember when we were kids we had only the tight shorts and a breath taking (as tight was the fashion ) t shirt or cotton shirts with huge collars and used to be buttoned till the top .Yeah i agreed we too had very less choice ...we had either midi skirts with drab tops or frilly dainty frocks with belts .Wow Ammu was lucky she had so much choice in ...........jeans , lycra , cotton ,linen , denims wow the list was endless .
But the tops were particularly oversize ....Manoj grumbled dont these guys have any sense how can they stitch like this skirts all perfect size and all tops are wrongly sized .........and look at the prize wow i can buy a whole wardrobe with the cost of this one dress ..i thought

We decided to voice our opinion to one of the sales people standing there ....

Suddenly he started laughing ...mam you are in te ladies section ...........
WHAT !!!!!

Where are the dresses for ladies you have only kiddy wear here ...Manoj said .

No sir this is the latest collection of ladies mini skirts .............
I was shocked .....what ! is this what you show for a child , what if she grew up and decided she wanted to wear such atrocious dresses or what is left of them by the time she grew up ??!?!?!?!?!?!

Nowadays they dont have experienced tailors ..........we discussed they just waste all the cloth while cutting and then they stitch these tinnnny dresses .And they charge the rate of 2 churidars for one wrongly stitched dress whew .........

maybe i should start a tailoring school now and teach people that they need to cut off minimum cloth rather than what they do now CUT OFF MAXIMUM CLOTH AND STITCH FROM WHATEVER IS LEFT !!!!!!

Cycling in Chennai ...........

http://bloginterviewer.com/randomness/read-on-sindhu-manoj

In Chennai or Madras where i stay cycles = Tanker Lorries ??? Well that is what the cyclist thinks about it anyway ..........
Chennai cyclists are a real menace on the roads .....just like hiding gueirilla warriors , you dont really know when one will pounce on you .
Well hello the cycle is hardly a few kilos and a knock by even a bike would make you and your cycle a pilot and airplane and throw you to the other end of the road !!!
But no use the cyclist still rides his cycle with the same arrogance of a truck driver , Right in the middle of the road !!!! can u believe it ..........
At signals he just holds on to any vehicle near him and rests till the light goes green and then speeds and swerves and twists and turns in between vehicles double the size !!!!!

Well i told Manoj once we should have separate routes for cyclists and they should not be allowed on main roads with heavy traffic .......manoj agreed to it immediately and told me that i could bring this rule into practise as soon as became the senior traffic police or whoever was responsible for that ...:)

And the worst is they come and scratch your car from all sides tear off the paint and fight with you as if u were the one who went and bumped into him ....how arrogant .

Well maybe i will make a union like Human Rights Activists Against Rash Cyclists ....HRAARC ,
or maybe The Cycle Haters ....TCH ,or maybe Society For Prevention of Cruelty To Motorists ...SPCM ...........YES I SHOULD SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT IT !!!

Then maybe i could use a crane and tow away rash cyclists and earn myself the name of Crane Sindhu ( Just like Crane Kiran Bedi ...the fearless police officer who towed away even the then Prime Minister Indira gandhi's car for wrong parking !!! wow i love that lady )
Wow Crane Sindhu and the daily newspaper would have photos of me towing rash arrogant cyclists with my trademark crane or tow truck (that wud make me Tow Sindhu ...no does not sound good , so i better stick to the crane ) and they would be yelling and pleading to be left off but i would lock them up till they learnt safe cycling ...good

So let me stop writing and not waste any more time ..........am off to start the Crane Union Against Rash Cyclists ...........CUARC ........yeah i proclaim myself the Vice President of the union and all those who are against rash cycling can join me ...................

We want all of you to know !!!!!

Waiting for the little one .............wow such an amazing feeling and thank God for giving it to me a second time ........
Manoj and i are expecting our second little one somewhere in June !!!
The person most excited about it is Ammu our daughter of 5and 1/2 years ..........she hs even made shopping plans , list of games she will play , how she will take care ......and on and on the list is endless ...
So come soooooon little one we are all waiting especially Ammu chechi (chechi = sister ) .........
