First day @work

and back home.
Yup m back @work, after exactly 6 months of leave(what Leave??? Maternity leave !!! ofcourse). Well actually a lil short of 6months. But thats not important. How do I feel?? Nothing new. Felt like I had never left the place. Felt like I was always working. Staying at home was way hectic than coming to work. I had b'fast and lunch on time and in peace with Anjie and Anklets (not a peaceful thing at home). I joined on Monday, so that meant both Su n Me had to leave from home, and that neither of us would be arnd the kids for the entire day. I would atleast return late in the evening but Su wud come only on Friday. So the kids were at Meme's place.

The highlight of the day was NOT being in the office n surviving (that was easy!!!) it was getting back home. The festival of Ganpati had already started and it was just the 3 days so loads of processions on the road and just when we were reaching the destination a huge procession just blocked us for a quite 15 mins or so. AFter I reached home( a lil later than the usual 7:30), both Mummu n Sunny jumped with excitement. Sunny was pulling himself off Meme's grip and Mummu she was one who ran and opened the door for me. While Cuddling and playing with both of them,
Mummu asked : 'Mumma, where have u been?'
Me : 'Office baba. Remember I told u in the morning that I hv to go to work and I will now meet u only in the evening'
Mummu : 'Mumma why do u have to go to office'
Me : ' Cos mumma has work na and how will she get money then if she doesn't go to work( :) some facts of life can't be hidden )'?
Mummu : 'but why do u hv to leave me and go?'
Me : 'Cos there is work na baba. Why do you ask?'
Mummu : 'Cos mumma when you go office na, (crossing her arms infront of her chest)then I was so alone' (gave a sad smile)

ME, I just bursted out laughing. Don't know where she learnt that from. These days I don't know whats the next thing she will say.

Faith

hits technology, or technology hits faith. Don't know which one is this?

Yesterday, on my way back from work, I saw a small place(my eyes hv never travelled there), where there were hounds of people gathered and listening to some guruji's speech. There was still a thin stream of ppl flowing into this gathering.

What probably shocked me was this group of people were meticulously seated and in complete silence infront of a 40" flatscreen(I think it was bigger than 40") . I could clearly see the baba on the TV. Wow, technology has reached far n wide.
