A day of cribs ( 29th , November 2014)

1st there was gym

Then  Kukku was home  it was only 1.00pm. Automan Ajay told me that I have to get Kukku back from school till the annual function. This was very bad. Very bad automan. Daily till Dalan wala and back after gym. Very very bad automan .

Had bath. I could hear silly fights from the bath. Mil is whining about naughty kukku. Naughty kukku and bad mil. Very naughty and very very bad.

After bath went to the roof for sunning my wet hair . T hank God for good sun. Picked up and folded the clothes. They were still fighting.

Then had lunch of palak pane er,  chole and fish. It was bad fish. I could not eat whole so threw it away.

Partha called me wanted me to go to bank because naughty goles. GOLES finishes all money by the end of each month.
Very bad Goles .

I switched on navigator on phone because can't find my way there it took me to another ICICI Bank.  Bad phone. VERY BAD NAVIGATOR.

Then I called Partha who laughed at my traffic sense and told me the way. Naughty partga.

I also went to Bhusawal mesho's house to   enquire about medicine. He was not happy to see me because he does not like Sonju shouting at him. (Will explain later am having fun with all the bads).
Naughty Mesho.

Then went to bank and did the jobs now Goles will get 6000 on the 1st and 2000 for Fd will go on the 26th so money will be safe.

Came  home.  On the way bought gloves for Kukku. He was very naughty   in shop and was asking for leather gloves. Bad Kukku.

Then bought green tea. And 2 wollen socks for me. Woollen socks keep me warm. Brown   ones look like feet from far away.

Bought milk and curd. On the way saw a house where there was welding machine works going on asked him to wait and told Partha to hurry because I can't carry a big trunk there. Partha said it will be very late. Naughty partha... very naughty.

Came home and made tea and milk. Milk man's mother died so have to buy milk from the market till Tuesday . Kukku spilled the curd outside car. Very very naughty kukku.

Kukku  came home and opened the packet of bread very bad. Now  all the bread is open. Insects walk on open bread. Cockroaches eat open bread. We have to eat bread. Naughty and bad Kukku. We ate our tea and milk in silence. Mil wanted mudi. When I give mudi she wants chide . When I give her chide she wants biscuits. When I give her biscuits she wants mudi. Always complaining. Always always.... bad mil very very bad.

Then put soya chunks in a saucepan and started watching TV.  All are burnt and stuck to the saucepan. Bad me very very bad and careless. Very very careless.

Partha said he will get dinner from outside. But I said no I will cook. Hone cooked food has less calories and easy to digest. Outside food is rich and savoury. Partha was sad but no outside food.

After dinner Kukku slept . Partha and me went for a walk. Partha does on want to walk. He wants to sleep.

But I want walk so we go. We walk for 3 km. My cardio widget app is very good. Good App. Our speed is 11.50 min per km. It is good

11th December 2015

Happy birthday to you mummy. We are celebrating it too because today Gupta aunty is coming hopme and so is Venu. He has to go to the college i.e. UPS petroleum where he will collect his original certificates and he is very pleased about the same. I am pleased as well because I will also go there with him and have a great fun time driving through the beautiful scenic way. Gupta Aunty also wanted to come so she will be coming here today in the evening.

I got a notification from Flipkart that Vinni didi is sending me a popper... basically a pop corn maker which will come from there. for my anniversary.

There is another trip in the offing where in we (Avneesh and me) will go to Chandigarh on saturday i.e. the 13th and attend Mr. Devinder Singh farewell.  He has been the regional head in the Punjab area for a long time and his wife works in the Punjab and sind bank. We will go on saturday and after attending the farewell come back with Partha one day later i.e. Sunday.

well let me end Mil has gone to the hospital with Partha and so I am waiting for them to come back so that I can go Gymmng.

Anniversary 2015

The anniversary was very nice day and I thanked God for sending this great day my way. I share this  day with another colleague who has celebrated her 20th anniversary this year. Her son is in 12th and is a great swimmer.  He was also my student. They have taken a happy family picture with a small baby it is so funny all are laughing because of the small baby I will send you the picture.

On 6th evening we were on our walk as usual and as I was bored of the   same route daily

I told Partha that I wanted to take the FRI path but

Partha  reminded me of the leopard attacks on doonites.

I (the optimist) told him that   with our  combined weights we will be heavier than the poor carnivore and easily supress it.

Partha (the pessimist) replied that we will probably go to jail for harming a poor animal who is endangered.

I pointed out that it might be a good thing because....
We will spend some quality time with each other. With no cell phone.

P ... probably there are different jails for men and women remember we will be there for repenting.

S. .. In that case you might be in the same cell as Sallu who will be there for poaching charges.

Partha's cautious nature won and we took the same route BUT... I had told him to go in increased speed. So we burnt 314 calories at a speed of 11.43 min per km. Which was a new record for us.  Thanks to my gymming... The days puffing and panting in  Landore walks are over. Now Partha  huffs and puffs and tells me to slow down. I am more cruel than Partha because he was supportive and stopped many a time to make me catch up. I just laugh scornfully . No wonder God has not made me slim. With my beauty I would  be too vain.

In the afternoon we had Tahiri for lunch....but I had told all to eat cautiously as we had planned on a Muse dinner. It is a good restaurant here. Part of hotel Inderlok.. and their restaurant  MUSE of Inderlok   is good . Not a patch on Sayaji but ok. Their non veg section is good. Also mil loves chicken and mutton and fish. So she said she will treat us there. But when it was evening she was cold and she had a new dress which is a churidaar  an woollen kameez from Amartex .... It looks good but if you have slightly plump legs and mil has skinny legs plus plump body... when she bought it for herself I was skeptical but she insisted they were fashionable and in vogue.

But after wearing it she felt bad and after that she said we should go and that she is feeling too cold. She just made it  up as her fashn statement came to a naught. So we went.

I went to Tanishq   and bought the earrings. I liked many of them  but bought only one.

Deepa has made a scheme. She saves 5000 from salary   each month to Tanishq . . And after competing of 11 months tanishq pays the last installment . She has one daughter only so she is collecting   jewellery   for her wedding. Already she has collected 4 bangles, one earring and necklace set.last year she told me of it and said the collection are good and husband paid for the bangles along with her. ISHA her only  daughter is in 11th only.  Deepa plans to buy her a kamarband this year so she is depositing 10000 each month. She says the one she likes is about 3.5 . Poor Praveen her hubby  will  have to pay this year as well. But it is a smart thing she does because each year for the past 6 years she is buying jewellery. And she says shadi ke liye abhi bhi taiyari nahi hui hai.

Well job  to mile phir main bhi shuru karoon.

We went to Allen Solley showroom and kukku and Partha bought jackets for themselves. PARTHA got ABG discount of 1500 still had to pay 8000 for the  jackets .

Then Kukku wanted to eat burgers and we went to McDonald's  and bought dinner for 350 bucks only.

Kukku had a meal I had a soft serve and egg burger. Partha had a veg burger. And Kukku had a full meal.

Mummy who was expecting food from Muse would be disappointed   with Kolkata kitchen rolls. Still ... we went there it was closed so we went to another expensive joint and bought food worth 2 people there was Sikh kebab and kathi rolls and tandoori fish.

Still I told Partha to be ready for critical  feedback. And we got just that.  The roti were like rubber. The fish was semi cooked and there was no chicken in the Kathi   rolls.

Well life is like that.  However the day of surprises was not over Partha had bought chocolates which I could ill afford to eat. Still I had 3 blocks. It is caramel Dairy milk silk and was super yummy but very sweet. When you stop eating refined sugar all sweets appear toooo sweet.

Kukku had made a card.

22 nd November 2015

We are in test mode now. KUKKU had his FA 3 examinations.  If you want to know what it means. .. It is Formative assessment. We are still in test mode.  Kapil Sibal has tried do hard to change the mind set of the parents but still we are the children for the marks that they give us. It is sad. But the US system he argues is better but they do not put stress on the kids to study which makes them less.

Shekhar Bhaiya says that the kids can't come to India any more because they cannot cope with the amount of studies that kids here have to do. What are the stress levels that kids  face out of India? ?. I feel that Rohan has one on one tutors and as a result must be less stressed than the average American child.

Our clock is ticking according to the tests that Kukku has to take. Here we study in the balcony and the road a front of us is so less crowded that rivers of peace flow all the time. Except for a dog barking or a veg wala calling we are free from traffic stress.

So much so that when mil comes kukku goes to the roof to study as she is a very big disturbing element.
We finally bought him a fibre quilt.. and very costly too 4280.

We also bought two suits for mil from Amartex. She bought a woollen kurti and insisted on a churidaar (ready made) with it (it is black   woollen lower).It will look silly but then you have one life and should enjoy it by looking silly once in a while.  Mummy when you one here I will also buy you gloves from Mussorie.  If I go there  before I come to purulia I will get it from here.

Kukku ' s blanket is very nice. It looks great as it is so soft. I have put a fleece blanket as a bed sheet and it was so warm last night that we could not sleep..

Partha is running around for the passport for his travel to Hong Kong and Macaw. I will go once kukku grows up and can can be less of a pest to his mil which is only when he will be in college. His trip to ITC cost us dearly 27000. And there is Goles fees to think of too.

I am missing baba Badrinath. But we plan to take the trip in April.

So many dreams and so many things in my bucket list. .. I wish I have time to fulfill all wishes.

18 th Nov 2015

In this gym I am doing the same shit for the past few months. I reach here at 11 am
1. Cross trainer for 30 min
2. Treadmill 15 min
3. Step up 30 X 3
4.  The things that Poonam taught me in Gold gym ( abs/squats/ legs)

Also that is the time for the instructors to do their workout. I have asked nicely for a schedule any times but always Gagan says madam " Ek din bas 9 baje a a jao. "

Here in doon also there are great bodies. One is like the man in capt America. I very skinny boy comes but when he opens his jacket his mean muscles come.to sight. I mean when you have hot bodies to work on no one wants to work on aunties.  They show results much faster plus you can make them sweat more and they don't complain.

I don't want him to stand and count like a personal trainer but I just need a schedule. .. what to do on

Monday..

cardiovascular 30 min                        squats 2 X 15
bicep curls 2 X 15
Then Tuesday.

Today the owner was here and I asked her what I have to do to get a schedule.  She said (shocked) "kya abhi tak nahi mila". Then the trainers had it. A few days back the manager had gone  for physical and was absent there was no one here at 11 for 2 days.

I reached to find a closed gym and after the 2nd day was very angry because when I was on the way I saw Gaganjit going back home and shouted his name out in the road after stopping the car. He pretended that he does not know me. Also I  had called him he did not call me back.I was very pissed.  After that I have barely been making eye contact with him.

After shouting at the manager she made Kavi write up a schedule for 3 days for me and told me to do different things. Not only cross trainer or treadmill. If there is any problem. . She asked me to contact Anurag she gave the ph number.

Thereafter I followed the schedule by Kavi. And saw a fuming Gagan put up  a good show and train others who were there along with me.

Well before leaving I said bye to Gagan who said "madam maine bola tha... main karaonga aapko bolne ki kya zaroorat thi."

  I told him "I wanted schedule aur kissi ko kuch karana nahi hai.. ghee nikalna tha seedhi ungli se nahi nikla to teda karna pada."

Then he asked to see my schedule and I showed it to him.

He said kal 5 min karke aana main aapko bataunga. Like the shit I will... anyway I left.

In Mussorie I bought great mittens for Mil and Goles. They were having fingers till the 2nd digit and after that the fingers were free to write. But there is a cap (you can call it a finger cap) which covers the entire fingers when you are not using them. It cost 350 bucks. And they also have a lining inside.

We were supposed to go to Badrinath on the 21-24. And in the Gym I was asking Lord Narayan. ..as I talk to various Gods many times in a day. I said "God you have given me everything that a person can desire I will ask for one thing that is very important for me. You must make me 80 kgs."

Today I hear that snow has fallen and the roads are closed on 19th and not on the 27th as scheduled. What do you mean God......?????

11 th November 2015

I have applied to another school called DPSG Delhi public School Ghaziabad. . Not associated with DPSG.  They are planning to open a school near Chakrata road and it is very near my house.

I liked it's fill application on line and upload picture and CV. I look like a frog in it but we'll we should try and be happy with what God has given... In my case what I have made of what God has given.

Gupta Aunty has come and she is very fun yo be with. She is also very progressive and loves to talk. Only yesterday I did several mistakes while cooking food because I was busy listening to her... she stands in the kitchen when cooking and talks of many interesting things like the mistakes made by md.  Bin Tuglak. Who changed the capital from Delhi to Agra also she says it will be good when people have laptops instead of copies at least trees will be saved. Such a refreshing change from Mil who only interjects with I don't know these things. She has opinions of almost every thing and that makes for interesting conversations.

Yesterday I made makki atta with mooli parantha.  It was good.  Especially with curd and the mirchi pickle which Aunty has made. She has also told me to make atta laddu with gond  and dry fruits.

She has told many tales of her natis and natnis  who are trials to their parents  too. Recently one of her friend died she is called Anniriddha Singh Aunty.  She was a rani Queen of a small district in Jaipur and as a result was very posh. She was only 62 and too young. They were neighbours and spend many mornings together mummy Aunty and Anniruddha Singh Aunty.  The uncles used to go to office and then they would be together chit chat and gupsgup.  Mummy would sleep in the afternoon and Aunty would wake her by 3 30 after which they would have tea.

Sadly Partha will be in Delhi on his birthday and we will be here on that day.  Thankfully that is one treat filled day that we are missing.

Goles refuses to talk to us and as a result we are having snippets of her life from face book entries. Today it is 9th and already she has withdrawn 4500 from the account. Partha has read a few face book entries and has assumed that Goles is doing work for her classmates. Should I take him seriously... he is also scared of Pusey the cat who asks us for food sometimes. He thinks he will jump on him and scratch his eyes out.

Still it hurts that often the things he thinks of Goles are true

8th January 2015 Purulia

In the past fee days I had acquired free bees of sorts from many quarters

1. Paan from Chapa mama
2. 2 laddoos from jamai ki dukan.

On Tuesday as we were getting bored in the house I went to market with kukku. At 8 pm. He was at loath to walk but I said we will count steps if we cross the limit of 1000 I would let him download a silly game of car racing which he wants desperately.  So he walked and counted the steps sincerely. I fought and made him count 100 steps again but sadly when we reached  Jamai dukan we had completed 950 steps already and Kukku was very happy and pleased as a result we talked to Jamai....

Kukku happily because of the car racing dreams. ... Jamai was happy to talk to Kukku who he remembered in our arms a few days back. He asked about you Tublu  and also Goles.

He asked Kukku if he could come and visit us in Noida and Kukku  told him that he would happily receive him in D doon. As Noida was the home of his sister. Jamai  insisted that Kukku take two laddoos which I had already bought from the shop. I had already got 4 laddoos as Kukku was eyeing them with wet mouth.!@#$&^&/$#.  The greedy boy.
