Vacation,time for masti.... but this year on a different note :(

I had started updating the blog regularly since Apr '10, but again starting now after a break of almost a month. I had received couple of notes, why blog is not updated and to start updating. Read this to know the reason.

Come May 2nd week, it's additional masti time for kids..they do have masti even during school days. Tough time is for parents and grand parents to complete homework and revisions.

Vacation starts and it is time for watching repeat telecasts of Doreman,Kitertsu,Shin Chan the great, Chotta Bheem and many more..., then time to Play with friends and at last, if time left out, after all these some studies. This is the routine for Gowri. She plays a very obedient kid infront of her appa that he gets impressed, to get goodies from appa in the weekend. Get up before 7.00 am, complete her daily routine, Prayers, study. Once appa start to office, she is back with a bang to her true colors putting things upside down at home. Then she is the Commandor.

Normally Gowri's one month vacation is spent in Kerala with my sister. This year, it was not planned for multiple inconveniences. This time Gowri had a very different vacation for the first time, but not a good time to celebrate:( . Gowri's school vacation started from 8th May and something different was planned by God.

Gowri's, Papa thatha(My FIL), was not keeping good health quite some time due to old age. (One of the reason why Kerala Vacation was not planned this year). On 9th May, Gowri's Thatha left to heavenly abode. Gowri did understand that thatha will not be coming back and is now God. Since thatha was staying with us and vacation time, all her Periappa's family had come and were staying here all the 13 days. For kids, especially for Gowri, too small to understand the gravity of the situation had a gala time with her loving cousins - Shubha didi, Vishal Bhaiya, Shreya Didi. For the first time she got the opportunity to spent long time with Cousins. In addition she had two more cousins - Vani didi & Prashant Bhaiya. She enjoyed a lot with no one behind her to tell about studies and no one behind them constantly to put control, as elders were busy in the rituals.

After 13 days, Sat & Sun(22 & 23rd May) all all her cousins have left, though vacation continue for kids, works piled up in office for all the parents after two weeks leave,except for Kontha Periappa & Raji Periamma who decided to stay for first masikam. She enjoyed another 15 more masti days with them getting opportunity to speak to Ananya(Poonam Didi's cute little one who are in Singapore). Periamma & Periappa left on June 8th and Ponnamma Paati on 9th June to Vishal Bhaiya's house to stay with them for some time.

For Gowri, it was back to routine, started finishing the Summer Homework, revision (already started forgetting things learnt during April with in 15 days of not touching books) etc... Still the Masti time continue for another 20 more days.

Wait for Vacation Part II ... to be updated very soon.
