For a while been dying of guilt for not spending enough time at home with family....and this weekend I decided to change it all~decided totake it head on ~ Turn it around ... and I stayed home with a plot to make it up once for all...
The perfect Agenda had it all...Playing d" perfect daddy" to win back the "responsible son" crown to show ma wife Im d same old "fun to be with fellaw " she fell for few years back.
5.45 am
Alarm bajne laga hei.. !!! Damn !
Veena's Staring hard @ me....I pretend to be fast asleep (as usual) (and she knws)
V's whispering loud why d hell do u hav to put an alarm for so early even on a holiday...
with a stupid grin on ma face I scramble fr d fone n put it off~ gesture peace
8.00 am
Alarm in the mind goes off this time and I jump out of d bed its like d final call for boarding n d airport...n thts d usual tippin point that makes me move my weight ;) ..

Sarojini Ngr Mrkt ~ first time after being in Delhi for a year~
Lookin at d setting 'f d place Im kinda reassured _monetarily less damaging..but i can sense its gonna be painstakingly long before I can get these ladies outta here... Now I know why dad settled to stay back at home n take d BBIIIIGG responsibility 'f filling water in d tank ! N Now I read the wink he gave Shuks M trapped !
6.45 pm
still in Sarojini ngr mrkt ~ I m looking like a husband now !~ M hiding even in midst of this maddening crowd ;) !
8.50 pm
Back home ~ Lessons learnt :
Shopping is Shopping , be it in sarojini ngr or shoppers stop ~ Equally damaging to d pocket !
quantity shopping's damaging in all ways ~moneywise ~timewise~utility wise~etc..etc..etc
But hey ! trust me its worth the instant stature boost one gets (though its temporary and has only a few hours shelf life )
10.00 pm
Work's less tiring ~ Now I can relate well to all those faces I see in office on saturdays regularly~
