It had been years since i took vacations...after marriage.just one visit to kasrla,2 days visit to mahabaleshwar,and numerous visits to mumbai...bt i dnt count them as vacations at all...since last 3 years since adi is abroad..i wanted to go out so many times but kept postponing with a desire that when adi will be bck..we will go on family vacations,but it never happened...i was exhausted dying for a break from monotonous pune...n routine life...finally decided to turn little selfish..finalised on whole 15 days vacation with kabir..though still it was a family trip means visit tyo lko my native city,agra-my masi's place n jhansi my sister's home bt a break is a break...i had a feeling that kabir wants a break from me,seeing me n me pnly..day n night at home...it was my test at his socialising skills also...with few natural apprehensions at heart..wat if kabir didnt cooperate....n so on i decided to go....bonus was that mumma decided to join me too....
so we left pune on 6th,celebrated mumma's 70th birthday in mumbai n left for lucknow on 8th....jetlite played spoilt sport,delivered luggage next day a whole day visited...bt this didnt dampen our spirits....we visted friends,i met my extended family of my ex students spent some lovely time with salman bhai n his family and searched out my long lost friend shailendra ji...the pleasantly surprized look on his face made my day.
we left for agra on 10th nite,railways played spoilt sport.out of 3 seats only 1 got confirmed,settled mom n kabir n i sat whole nite.bt it didnt dampen our spirit still...whole two days..with masi,bhabhi,bhai and my two neices....and the visit to Tajmahal and Agra fort was the icing on the cake.
on 13th morning we left for jhansi just 2 n half hrs from agra it wasnt tiring...and it was day of diwali so definately we were all the more happy...now we had whole 7 days in hand to celebrate n enjoy with my sis,bro in law and my nephew n neice...kabir's best friends as he calls them...diwali was spent beautifully..actually a gud change after three lonely diwali.....kabir had a nlast too...amazing boy that he is..he has been wonderfully coperative during all these days...n its fourth day today and nw god is playing spoil sport...ma is ill,seriously ill...rt nw admitted in hospital...should i let my indomitable spirits crush down?or shud i keep the faith that ma will be well soon,back home and we will safely and in fine spirits board the plane back home on 20th for mumbai.....time will tell...
