GM,grand master

Am snooty in some ways as I've never taken up teaching in lesser known schools although I wear mostly non-branded clothes,don't know why I'm mentioning the latter though....,kids too say I am as one day our Golden Retriever,wagging her tail,walked in with the most ugly looking thing on earth,a street Mongrel.I rushed to the gate to confirm if it was left open by my absent-minded son.OMG!she had done it!!!!!!!I rushed her to the vet as I wanted to be the GM(g'mother) of only a litter of cute looking Golden Retrievers.He operated upon her and advised me to spay her as it was healthier for her in the long run.So till date,I could never become a GM.Wonder how Kyra feels about not having become a mother ever.She looks upon our kids as her own.Now they are older but when they were small,Kyra used to jump on me,if I ever scolded them,barking and snarling at the same time.Whenever the kids would get into a physical fight,she would seperate them,doing the same.Now whenever they visit home for a short time,she shivers with happiness with her tail making a THUD THUD noise .When they leave,she waits by the main gate and takes to her old habits ....puking and not eating.The kids are coming for a short stay.She'll be dressed up and taken in the car to fetch them.She knows the way to the airport very well.

Off late she has started rebelling too.When we go out,we come to find the drawing-room in a mess.If you explain to her,especially if I take on the task,she yawns on my face.She loves cake cutting.We are going to do that when we fetch the kids as we've missed all their birthdays.Have baked a small one for kyra too.As the older one has demanded for christmas cakes,baked three of them this morning with Kyra sitting patiently by the kitchen door.She just cannot wait to have a piece!

Kyra hates bathing.I wanted to bathe her today but somehow Gurgaon is enjoying a late winter this time and so I decided not to.She loves if the whole family sits in the lobby to gossip.She places herself right in the middle,almost in a participative mode. She has a problem understanding the Queen's language but never has a problem with our native .She's the senior most amongst us now.I dread the day she will leave as I'll never inform our kids living so far away.They will hate me for that but yes I will tell them later when they come home again.This way it will be less hard on them.

Birdies have grown wings now..

Had almost forgotten to visit DELO till a dear friend asked me about it.I reread my old blogs and God! they need to be edited.Time has flown by,lots and lots have happened.Younger birdie is a graduate now and is working as well.The older birdie too has done us proud by getting in in one of the prestigious institute in the US.Visited both a month back and realised haven't done badly as a parent.The touching moments were when older birdie drove me some 100 miles (without a liscense!) to visit a temple in the US on Baba's 33rd death anniversary.Can never forget the visit.This temple was in Cary and we just hugged each other and sat there for a good one hour.

Younger birdie gifted me his visiting card on arrival and took me for a romp at 4.30 in the morning as it was also a town I grew up partly in.Almost taking off from work by slogging up in the nights, he gave me a great time .We visited this zoo and talked and talked as he was going through this low phase personally.Hence the visit...

Both are coming down this weekend for 2-3 days as the older one is visiting India on a project and the younger one is coming down to see his Didi.Whenever our kids leave for long,our four legged Kyra has a habit of puking for days together ,abstain from food and sit in front of the main gate waiting for them.She never had a litter(that's also another story by itself)and considers our birdies to be her own.
