What has happened ...in last month

Hi Dear

Its been more than a month since i wrote the blog...hmmm, well the reason is i have been busy with work, travelling, moving into a new home and then sometime lazy.
So where do i start ..after coming back from Brussels i got busy updating the documents and searching for home as i planned to shift the kids with me. Finally found a house and agreed on taking it around the 2nd week of July.

16th July - 2nd August: India Trip
Trip to India staring with 2 days in Delhi. Was in Delhi almost after 3 years, it has changed a lot with fly overs and big spacious roads...burgers being sold on the pani puri stall ! yes really it was cool. Had Mo mos after ages, visited my cousins and spend time with them. Met my nephew who had a horrible accident last December..he has gone through a lot and its only a miracle he was saved..thank God for it.

Reached Kolkata on the 19th evening and stayed there for a week. Isha fell ill due to the difference in the milk as she was not able to digest the milk in India. Did not travel much but was at home and enjoyed the relaxed time at home. It was nice to see Ajji & Baba after 16 months and spend time with them. They were happy to see all of us.

Me, Isha & Tana reached Hyderabad on the 25th and was there till 31st. Rearranged the household stuff which has reach there from Delhi. Did not travel much and relaxed at home. Did not call any of my friends and missed catching up with them. Had a hair cut a Habibs and got my hair cut really short :) for a change. Met my youngest sister and her in laws, seem like nice people. Kids went to Kolkata with Nani and I left for Mumbai..it was sad to see Isha leave...poor baby. But she was fine after a little while and did not trouble mummy much on the flight.

Reached Mumbai on 31st July afternoon, felt as if i have reached "home" ...Mumbai gives me that feeling. It was pouring but i enjoyed it, was visiting Mumbai after 6 years. !!! Visited our flats and met my old friends..it was nice catching up with them. Met my sister in law & her family. It was nice catching up with them. Did shopping finally ...after being in India for 2 weeks, took time out to visit the parlour.

Left Mumbai on 2nd August. Back in office on the 3rd and you will not believe it I moved into my new house/ rented apartment on the 4th !!!

New Home :
Been busy trying to make a house into a "home" by adding my flavour and touches through the little things I put in the home. Got to buy some furniture still and i keep searching the web for it. So now you know why I have not been writing my blog regularly. Another distraction is i have TV at home which i watch after coming back from office and it is quite relaxing.

Kids:
Now the kids are in India and i will be travelling to India to get Tana as her school starts on the 3rd sept. we plan to leave Isha in India for a little while as bringing her here would mean no one to take care of her when i am office..leaving us with no choice but to put her in day care, which might not such a good idea as she does not understand English and is not yet potty trained. So we have to adjust without her for few months :( which is sad but in the long run good for her as she will be looked after well by Dadi.
