Tuesday humor

So this real funny thing happened today. It is my mom's birthday. No!! that's not funny.

The funny thing happened when I called her. After completing the 'happy birthday' formalities, she told me that she has asked my father to get chocolates for her grandkids (my 2 mischievous nephews).

She further explained - '5-star matthe lollipop thangonDbanni andhe. Aadre school indha bandmele 5-star koDthini. Lollipop evening mele koDodhu. Swalpa time aadhru adhanna thintha sumne irthaare!!'

(Translation:I have asked him to get 5-star and lollipop. I will give them the 5-star after they come from school. Will not show the lollipop until evening. At least they will spend some time silently in the evening, eating the lollipop!!')

Deepawali

Festivals celebrated away from home is just not right. Esp. such major ones. Strange as it may sound, I am even missing the sudden frights I used to get when someone lit a cracker outside! [I am still against crackers though; you know, the pollution, noise etc etc]

Also missed is the awesome food mom makes. Although, I did try my hand at sweet-making today, and believe me, it is best left to mothers! :-)
But it did not turn out that bad either. Hmm..lesse what others have to say tomorrow about it! Yes, of course, you think I am going to let my friends go away so easily!!! :-)

Happy Deepawali to you all!
