THE BIG FIGHT – Who gets to sit at the computer ???? And what is the time slot ?????
Girls, can u please give me the comp for 5 mins….I need to check my mail, please ????
2nd one : Mom, please…We have the comp to ourselves only now, during holidays. And all our friends are online for chatting. How can I give the comp now ????
1st one: And after she finishes, I am taking the comp…I need to go on FB !!! We are discussing our vacation project details online…all my group members are online now. I need the comp for the next 2 hours.
2nd one : And Mom, once school reopens, we won’t get to sit at the comp like this. And you’ll have all the time to blog.
Then, when I just get a little happy about the 10mins on comp to check my mails and say hello to you all, boom goes the power…che…che….even this power is acting against me. And the Big Fight happened every day !!!! It was not a weekly affair like NDTV. 😦
Everyday has been hectic with kids at home, doing projects, taking print outs, going to the summer dance classes, preparing for the dance performance by the girls, going shopping for the costumes…..It was all fun, but I missed my comp time.
So, I indulged myself in reading quite a few books and loved them all. 🙂
Of course, we had lovely weekend trips to Mammallapuram, Muttukadu (the backwaters near Chennai with boating facility) and the cool and chill Yercaud !!!! Yes, it was a great holiday and I enjoyed every moment of it.
Now, the school opened and the comp is exclusively for me, till the girls come back home with a project under the arm.
Thank you so much for the caring words, when I couldn’t get online. Its indeed a blessing to have such friends…whom I’ve never seen in person. Its indeed amazing – this virtual friendship.
My Google Reader reads 400 posts….My God, my head is spinning….you ppl have been really busy, posting so much….even the ones who said bye-bye to blogs have posted, like our OG !!!
Anyway, I am making snail’s progress in reading them all….Will be visiting your pages soon… 🙂 🙂 🙂
And, if I can take the liberty, I would like to add this picture, as a belated addition to the Wordless Wednesday !!!
So, all ijj well at your side ????? I missed you all. 🙂

I knew that would be the problem, you did mention this in one of your older posts, na? but its always good to be away for a while. the mind gets fresh and you will have so many things to write.
Dont worry, that 400 is just a number. Most of them have been busy updating just pics, its easier to comment cuz theres nothing to read. and the rest had joined that blog marathon thingy making them publish a post everyday !!! 😀 😀 😀
but seriously, glad to see you back.
