And Her Little Toy

Funny Math

1+1=3!

Hardest Thing Lately?

Eating cereal for breakfast. Any cereal, cold or hot.

Autumn

We have autumn here, a very beautiful season with the trees changing colors.

The season of our lives also changes, to brighter colors.

It promises to be different, to be busier, to be funner...

Looking forward to it.

The Days

I feel sick of eating so much food and yet I am almost always hungry.
And brushing teeth in the mornings can be quiet a disturbing process.

My days.

Book Eaters

Some mysterious creatures eat my books that are on the bookshelf.
I think they do it in the dark of the night.
Any remedy for that?

Not as Relaxing Yet

When I drive the scooter on the streets it is not as yet relaxing for my husband, since time to time he has to balance me and the scooter from rushing into a tree or some gate, but we soon will get there and I will drive safe.
Untill then - stay out of my way, dogs!

P.S. There are a lot of dogs on the streets and I think they trust drivers too much :)

On Your Behalf

Their voices became even softer
because I kept silent with the song on Their behalf;
Their destinies became fragile
because I stopped cherishing Hope on Their behalf.

But You, Oh prisoned souls,
not of Your own desiring,
not of Your own will -
not need to be cast down!

For even when the voice which had to stand on Your behalf failed You -
Your great deliverance is on His way,
Swipping on His path
the reigns of injustice,
breaking the crippling bondage,
restoring the broken-hearted and healing the abused.

Need not to be cast down...
Your deliverance is on His way, You aren't forgotten,

You aren't abundoned!

Sails

When we just started our sailing voyage, our moods were merry with the winds blowing our way; and then somewhere half way the waters became too deep and our lips chapped and hurt from salty winds, we forgot that wild dream that brought us this far and our boat started to sink...

I love them both

Princess in a Castle

I feel like a princess in a castle. My prince fights for me, every other day.
One day he protects me from a rat, another - he killed a little snake that invaded my kitchen.

And I feel like a princess.

WhatEver

First I put sneakers bar in a fridge, and when I wanted to eat it I put in the microwave and I saw it explode!
Whatever...

Through the Phone

I call her regularly, every month, the distance between us is the whole range of high mountains and several hours of flight crossing at least two international borders.

She sucks on her phone and snuffles. But does not say a word.

In my mind I see her smile and two little dimples appear on her chubby cheecks.

I, on the other hand, devote at least one minute on "Aguuu...and gheee..." and all that baby language, that apparently makes her smile on the other side of our connections, and I tell her that I love her and miss her.

Thats how we stay connected. My nine months old niece and me.

The Battle

The battle is scheduled for Monday; every pot, every chair, every dark corner will be overturned and scrutinized.

Jerry's little brother (little grey mouse) seems to want to avenge his brother: he jumped and left toe prints on my lemon tart, pooped on my bananas and overturned plastic bottle.

The battle is on!

P.S. little Jerry flew into the neighbor's garden unconscious.

Some Days

Yes, some days I am reminded that I am white and that I am a foreigner. It happens, especially when I have to buy groceries on the street.

I guess, after all, they are right, foreigners have some extra rupees to pay double for their tomatoes and cucumbers, if they are able to afford visas and tickets for travelling.

But hey, it is not that bad to be a foreigner!

Humility

- Babe, you want a big or a small tart?
- Two small chocolate, please. Thank you!

Delicacy, Yuan, Peking...

When you ask for less spicy chicken, garlic rice or chicken wings keep it in mind that it will also be saltless, tastless, sometimes uncooked or with less soya souce.
And it does not help no matter how many times you remind that you want only less green chilies and no red chily oil.
Apparently, all these foods have never been prepared without chilies, and somehow chily is associated with salt and other taste making ingredients.

Shush...little People are Sleeping

It seems all the little people in his head are sleeping, so should talk very softly early mornings.

I like Indian Grandmothers

Kitchen Mystery

We eat two-three times a day but somehow dishwashing comes up to five times a day, at least!
