day 1 may 22nd

We left the house at 8am for a flight at 11pm to dubai. We did not go to the lounge and had idli, burger and a dosa at the airport. Harsh odered a sandwich on the  app. Boarded and went to dubai. Flight was peaceful. No food for the kids. We had a 3.5 hour lay off in dubai. We sat on reclining chairs..adi had another burger. Called and emirates and checked if they had changed to kids meal to veg. Boarded plane. Plane was peaceful. Kids watched tv and played games. Food was pathetic. 

Landed in munich. Met Lakshmi. Moved to shorter immigration queue. Picked luggae and got an uber. He drove at 180 kms at hour. Dropped us near the Airbnb.

Settled in for the night . I slept with kids in master bedroom and harsh slept outside.

Nostalgia!!

I typically do not watch reality shows. However I heard that the top ten contestants on Indian Idol are singing fantastically and so I watched the episode on Saturday night. I must say it was simply awesome. The contestants were singing songs from the 1990’s. It took me back to the days when I used to watch the top ten songs on TV with Satish Shah every Friday.

My mom, brother and I used to watch Antakshari with Anu Kapoor and Renuka Shahane and then Top Ten with Satish Shah, both on Zee TV every Friday night. These shows would be the highlight of our week and the start of the weekend. Badi Mushkila Hai, Jaadu Teeri Nazzar, Tu Cheeza Badi Hai Mast Mast , Didi Tera Deewana , Tanha Tanha, these were some of our favorites. We even had an audi cassette recorded with just these songs and we would listen to it just before going to sleep. Those were days. Wish I could go back to those times...

Back Again after Another Really Long Break

It has been over two months since I updated my blog. I changed jobs and have been extremely busy. I also seem to have settled comfortably into Gurgaon though I still crave to be back in Mumbai. I did visit Mumbai a few weekends back. It was a fairly short trip but it really made me realize how vibrant and full of life Mumbai is when compared to any other city. All I can do is hope that I can go back there at some point.
