Some morning adventures

7:15 AM : There was this slow agonizing moan from my lo and he curls up towards me to quench his thirst.I love these tiny snuggles.

8:05 AM : Woke up,straight to the kitchen where Baby auntie was making chappatis for the day(Baby auntie just cooks Chappati for us, vegetables are cooked in our preferred kerala style)

8:10 AM : Chit chat with Baby auntie, and I had my glass of luke warm water.

8:30 AM: I started chopping the cabbage to make our side dish with chappati for breakfast. Onion,Cabbage,Carrot and green chilies(all finely chopped )sauteed in oil topped with lots of grated coconut(We malayalees favor a dab of coconut in almost all our dishes)

9:15 AM : Heard my LO whimper. He is up early today than his usual 10 AM timing as his PAPA took him off the bed to comfort him.

9:30 AM : MIL fed him his formula and he started walking in our living room carefully holding to the chair and sofas. I had a quick bath

9:40 AM : I am out of the bathroom and got into a scuffle with hubby dearest and the issue was petite for me as I forgot to turn off the bathroom lights and significant for him as it would accentuate our electricity bill and unnecessary energy wastage. Though later I felt he was right, my self-conceit didn't agree to approve of him at that time.

10 AM : I am dressed up for work,came to the living room where my 11 month old is trying to walk. My hubby had just finished off his breakfast. He has an incredible sense of smell and he told me that our lo has answered his call of nature. so there my LO with his noisome diaper.

10:05 AM :The toughest job on changing my lo's diaper is to make him lay on his back. I had to grab him and put him on his back for about 3 times before i could untie his soiled diaper. Somehow I changed his ,cleaned his soft soft bums :) and he has started over again crawling around the room,trying to stand on his own and tramping with his baby steps, Its fun to watch him play, But as a working mom, all these fun are limited :( .

10:29 AM: I skipped my breakfast,convince my MIL that i had taken extra chappatis and will have it as breakfast once I reach office. I reached the station hoping to catch 10:34 AM fast train so I could reach office earlier than usual( ever since I joined back after my MAT leaves,I reached office only after 12:30 PM.. My manager on last friday asked me if I could try come in little earlier and I nodded yes). The trains are late as usual. Its Navami today and I could see the trains going downside are all ornated with flower garlands,glitter ribbons.color papers. It feels so good to see how these festivals are celebrated in Mumbai and it also feels amazing to see the zeal and the passion the peope here have when it comes to dressing up for the festivities.

10:31 AM : I envied these ladies dressed up in saree, admired their jewellery and contemplated how tepid my attire looked on a festive day. I am wearing maroon kurta with borders lined with cream and golden thread. For a moment, I have determined myself to wear saree for the diwali celebrations this year.

10:46 AM: I see no signs of the fast train coming and there was an announcement apologizing for the delay. The train running late didn't seem to affect me much as I had enough time pass watching the decorated trains running in the opposite direction and the beautifully dressed females.

10:49 AM : The 10:34 train came fully crowded. I didn't even attempt to get into the train,as I know it will all be in vain. I am not that skilled yet to get into Mumbai local's extremely crowded trains.

10:50 AM : I waited for the next train whose scheduled time is 10:45 AM. The indicator shows the train would arrive in 3 minutes

 10:54 AM: The train came.It was pretty less crowded. I got in with ease and stood comfortably, checked my whatsApp messages,viewed my LO's pics and I started missing him.

11:48 AM : I reached office and I have my tasks for Monday already assigned. Pretty simple task ,so I am all set to start over it once done with the mails.

12:00 PM: I had a mail accentuating how critical this task is for the business and how I had to deploy the code in Production.

 While I sit staring at my office desktop, It was not the task that I was thinking of . My mind is full of you my dear,my lo. I think of you infinite times a day and I realize you are the one who is now keeping my heart pulsating..
