It’s been 10 days since Vedant left with my parents. I talk to him constantly on the phone and in these calls I’ve realized how well his conversational skills have improved. When he was home he never really spoke at length about things but on the phone he just talks and talks :- ) and I luvvv hearing him.
One day, suddenly, he started crying on the phone… “Mummy tumki bahot yaad aa rahi hai :(…tum mere paas kyu nahi ho??!!” (Mummy I’m missing u a lot! Why aren’t you with me!!)…*sigh*….and I tried to pacify him, telling him “baba maine toh ticket le li na tumke paas aane ke liye” (I’ve got the tickets to get to you)…and he says, “ohh kaha se liya ticket mamma? Kya mere papa laaye the…kya unhone jaadu se layaa??!”….lolzz… (ohhh where did u get the tickets from mamma…did my dad get them….did he get them using magic??!) …. That left me smiling here :-)… I do miss him so much.
Home isn’t the same without him…I keep the music playing all day coz I simply hate the silence around me!
I called him once when it was pouring in Agartala (rains a lot there!) and he told me excitedly about the rains, “yaha bahottt tezzz baarish ho rahi hai mummmyy…itniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii tez!! Aur mera scooty chatt mei bheeg raha tha…maine nana ki chattri li aur apne scooty ko baarish se bachaya…maine khud se kiya mummy! Kamaal kar diya na mummyyy!”….ha ha ha …. (That would roughly translate to – Mummy it’s raininggg a lottt here and my scooty was out in the rain. I took nana’s umbrella and saved my scooty from the rain. Didn’t I do great mummy!!)…And I said, “Wow! baba you’re amazing!!”…and he repeated the same to my mother...”nani mummy ne kaha mai kamaal ka hoon”…loll…(nani mummy says I’m amazing!)
Just another 6 days to leave for Calcutta. We leave on the 2nd of June by train and reach Cal on 3rd and take a flight the following day to Agartala. We’ll be staying with one of Rajiv’s school friend’s in Calcutta unlike our past trips where we always stayed with one of my aunt’s or cousins. On 4th of June, we reach Agartala and I get to see my baby :-)! My father’s planned a lot of stuff for us to do while we’re there…people to meet, places to see. So I’m quite excited about it all. I plan to take a lot of pictures and videos of my trip this time.
Two things make me a lil sad. The first is that I will miss celebrating my birthday in Agartala by a couple of days and the other is that I’m quite sure I’ll miss my blog a lot! I’d be checking my space but probably won’t get a chance to update it or put in new posts. I hope when I get back to Delhi on 18th June, I get time to write about my trip home. There’s yet another short trip to Dalhousie after we get back…around 23rd June (that whole weekend)…
And I’ll miss reading all your blogs and commenting on posts and reading replies…all this had become such a part of my daily routine!! When I get back there will be so much to catch up in all your blogs! Now that’s an exciting thought :-)
