And it Continues :)

The Happy-Happy phase continues. I guess all that tension from last week is slowly fizzing out thanks to the all-pervading happiness :)

The babe is fine. He's shifted outta the ICU now. Pretty soon you think? Well, apparently inspite of the sedatives, he was sooo hyper inside that they decided it was OK to let him out :) And now that he's out, he's all raring to go. Though he does complain of pain intermittently (like obviously!), he's doing fine and blabbering non-stop! :) These are moments when I guess Ignorance is really Bliss. He doesn't know what's happening to him and all he cares about is being done with whatever's happening to him, whatever's holding him down from getting on that cycle and romping around my grandmum's place scaring those kittens away! And he'd do anything to get out of his present state (of misery).

But imagine on the other side, someone like my Mum. Paranoid about dying in her sleep. Paranoid about waking up, sitting down, walking etc etc. According to the Doc, she had one block and after her angioplasty her heart is probably in a better condition than most normal people and her chances of having another attack would be the same as any other normal person! And yet she's scared. Why? Because she 'knows' (or so she thinks), she hears, she reads, she's supposedly 'aware' and that is just about a big pain in the...wherever!

Anyway, this was meant to be about me being happy, so continuing on that note, Pp is back from Singapore :) :) :) And he got me a Tommy girl perfume. I'm super-super-happy for that. And he also got me (Ok, fine it's for Dolly) stickers - like LOADS of stickers. Disney stickers, shiney stickers, awesome stickers. WOW! Any wonder why I'm happy? :)

Next, I did some stuff to my hair again and I really like it. There's more to be done though. All this is for my Big Day!Yup, the countdown for my Birthday has begun [There is just about a month left ;)] I'm gonna be sooo busy from now on planning for my Birthday - Clothes, hair, shoes etc etc etc. Damn, I'm gonna get busy! :)

Next, the family is gonna be off on a trip! We are going to Munnar this week for 4 days. It's been ages since we went on a proper family 'vacation' => Not a temple visit. From Bahrain to Singapore to Kodaikanal, we finally settled down on Munnar. I'm pretty worried about the train journey though, because almost everytime, I come back with some skin allergy or the other and that is positively the worst thing ever! But it's ok, we are going and I'm happy because Mum and Dad need this break :)

My Boss is off for the week and there's nothing more :) than that!

P.S: 1. Okie Dokie, don't I sound a lot like you? Not the way of writing, but the extreme levels of 'everything-is-oh-so-perfect'- ness...??? Hehe...
2. I kinda find all those smileys and that over-happiness a lil gag-worthy right now. I think I just sounded too weirdly bimbo-ey up there, but I just don't know how else to express how happy I am!!!!

"It's been ages since we went on a proper family 'vacation' => Not a temple visit."

Hahahaha. I'm still not over it though, but wit is always appreciated :)

A perfect example of ignorance is bliss. Yeh at times I think as we grow older we tend to look at things more seriously.. or maybe that's how its supposed to be.

Countdown for the B'day that's a month away.. damn!! Sure sense the excitement.

Happy vacationing.

Subramanian Ramachandran said...

nice to know the baby is fine :) hope all our prayers keeps him in absolute happiness or watsoever without a semblance of the thing that happened to him this age..... :) GOD Bless him with a longgggg and healthy life

Also i feel it would be a bliss, if u r mom too feel strong and confident about her health, wish you experience that joy as well :)

Vrijilesh Rai said...

Oh Great, thats gr8 news abt the kiddo. God bless him.

And so ur off to Munnar? Cool place.. amazing now esp since the monsoon has just set in and there will be amazing greenery and misty weather. My cousin went a couple of weeks back for his HM and enjoyed it totally.

I would like to think that you folks are traveling on the 6041 Chennai-Alleppey express in a First Class (non AC) coach. But then I'm guessing ur actually booked in an AC :(

busy-writer said...

Ack!
First twas arun standin at god's gift-givin-away counter for too long and now tis you standin at the happiness-givin-away counter. Unfair world. *sulks*

Lol. Tis great when life's all summery, have fun! :))

Lotsa love! :)

KD. K Bodhi said...

Girl, I think it is absolutely wonderful you are so happy. Sometimes things just fall in place:).


And nothing wrong with smileys:)

And sorry to be a spoilsport but I found Munnar really boring. You could like it only if you are into 'kallu sarayam'.

P.S. That remark makes me extremely happy:))). Nobody has called me a happy person.

K.C. said...

Ride that wave of happiness. Keep it up and be happy. You are supposed to be happy! Love that word, can you tell? If you feel it, then you are doing something right... keep it up! Good for you... KC

Lol @ family 'vacation' => Not a temple visit.

Laughing hard coz I've been dragged to Thiruchendur, Thirunallaru and Guruvayur on "vacations" before! Gotta love Tam Brahm parents.

aneri_masi said...

even if the kid knows whats going on, he won't give it as much thought as we adults do. Case in point, my niece got bitten by a dog, it hurt like hell, but she quit crying and went back to playing in like 2 minutes. They are just SO focused on PLAYING :D

munnar mast hai, yaar. never been there, but my nomad parents (they have been to China, Egypt, Ladakh within a span of 6 months!) have been. Mom said its awesome!

And I need to see pics of that new hairdo.

Family vacation = temple visit! I hear ya! I have been to all the "otris" (Gangotri, Yamnotri, et al), all the "dwars" (haridwar, nathdwara, dwarka, et al), all the "naths" (kedarnath, badrinath, jagannath-puri et al. except amarnath) all the 12 jyotirlings, every temple worth its salt (u gotta check out my last post abt me and temple visits ;).
Yaar, I have even been to a "Hidimba temple"!!! Sach bol rahi hoon!

But you know what, the temples have amazing architecture, the locations are beeeautiful, so to me, it WAS a vacation!

**I kinda find all those smileys and that over-happiness a lil gag-worthy right now.**
Well, I will take your smileys and over-happiness any day over whines and cribs about how sad life is!

Solitaire said...

WOW! Is everyone in Singapore these days? Has that become the hotspot? Show us pictures of you with your new hairdo!!

@K.C: I do feel it now and it does seem to be nice...Welcome here :)

@Mustang: Bahrain is my home...I was born and brought up there...So ur ABSOLUTELY right when u say it is one of THE most beautifulest place in the world! But, all our friends r comin down on vacation to India by now so we dont wanna go when noone is there..and no point goin for like 4 days and all (that's all leave we get)! :)

@Idling: Trust me! For us, Getaway = Guruvayur! Alll the time...Initially it was fun cuz we have this real close fam friend there and the aunty cooks awesome but after a point.....u knw!

@Aneri: Hahahahahaha@ the otris, naths and so on! Hahaha! REALLY??? But i LOVE goin on pilgrimages too..There was this one time, we went down south to my mom's village side and did 22 temples in 3 days...it was sooo much fun cuz we were around 40 people (my entire family) and all cousins and masti and all...But really, not all the time :-/ Pics with hairdo soonnnn!!!

@Solitaire: Yea, Singapore certainly is like the hot spot...I guess it's cuz tickets r cheap and the place does have a lot to see...But not this time for us..And pics soon, definitely :)

Glad to hear that the kid is fine.

Munnar is an awesome place. I went there 3 years ago, in these months ,and i enjoyed it to my souls satisfaction.
Dont forget to buy the Drakkar Noir Ittar from the local market there...

And yeah...always keep a bottle of Old Monk near you at all time.

V said...

wow, you definetly know how to live it up! happy birthday... i know you say it's a month away but i'm sure my memory would fail me... has anyone ever wished you this far in advance?

Lavanya said...

i disagree, you sound chirpy and happy, not okie.
in order to sound like him, keep the happy constant and increase the stupid. on a final note criticize the ICC. and use aiyooo every 3 sentences.
thats okie.

aneri_masi said...

Really, I HAVE been to all these places! For me, any kind of traveling is good, doesn't matter where I am going, why I am going. I do some times get bored of visiting people, when all I have to do is sit at their home and watch TV :|

K.C. said...

Yeah, I am about the COOLEST 41 year old you could EVER know...

And , well, I wish that were true. I think I am cool. I play like I am. My kids, well, they don't so much think that.. Especially when I am dancing.....
yeah, especially then...

Of course, when you are 23, 41 seems absolutely ancient, huh? I remember that. I should be with a cane right about now, but, I'm still kicking it...just not that high...:) Thanks for the compliment though... KC

Preeti said...

@Adi: Yea thanx! Need it :)

@K10: Before everything else, temme, have u disabled comments on ur blogS??? Now to next, Munnar is beautiful? YAAY! Seriously am relieved that people have bn tellin me that...DYIN to go now :) And plz dont temme Old Monk and all..I gta kiss all those dreams goodbye..Goin with parents :-/

@V: Awwwww! THANXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! No, noone has wished me this much in advance and it makes me SOOOO HAPPY that u have! (Now u c how excited i get!) And come today, it is EXACTLY a month away..I've been remindin all n sundry of this every sec over here :D

@ChutneY: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! Buhehehehe!!

@Aneri: Im thinkin this trip im gonna be doin that...wathcin TV in a romantic place with 2 couples around! :-/

@KC: Im assuming kids would never get that their parents r cool, even if they really r...But every kid would wish their mom was AS cool as the other...And i would wish u wr my mom in that respect! :) No mention for the compliments! :)
