Money.. show me the Money!!!!

Past few days have not been eventful, but surely has been a mess. And I am vexed to the peak..

So here comes all the rants..

OK, first of all, why the hell do we need to get a ration card NOW. There was no such requirement when we got the gas connection. And now they say, they cant issue us a cylinder with out a ration card. And its a long procedure to get one, as we have to get the 'what-ever' certificate from our respective places. SO what do we do now? We did what two other families in our building did. Buy it in black, double the amount!!!! Grrrr.........

Secondly.. whats with these auto guys? When will they start asking for the correct fare. Why is it always, that they ask 80/- when its actually 40/- and then after bargaining they agree for 60/-? Do they think, the milk man keeps wades of currency, along with the milk packets at our door-steps?? BREAKING NEWS !!!! Its just milk packets dude and most of the time leaking ones.

Now the most important one...the one which has made not just me but everyone else really pissed off and scared to death. Why the bombings? Now onwards forget going out anywhere on weekends, and specially not to any public places. So sit at home, watch TV, eat fatty and oily stuff and blow up like a balloon.That's how weekends are going to be...
Aaggggggrrrhhhhh ...........

I was so looking forward for my parents visit during 15-Aug weekend. I asked them to cancel the trip. God knows where the next bomb will be found.

The above was ranting on a general topic....

Now...its the turn of Jason's mama and papa..

Mama:
# still unemployed (Old story.. huh?)
# This is new.....Tried to loose an extra kilo at the gym, dropped the leg-press on my leg. Got hurt, went to hospital, had to spent 600-700 bucks on treatment (specially at this time, when money is the main cause of worry at our house). Now the leg is OK, and have got back to gym from today.

Papa:
# Is working under a lot of pressure at office, so mama got worried and sent him for a complete checkup. Luckily, everything like BP, sugar, cholesterol, HB etc are fine. So nothing to worry about. From Monday will pack him off to yoga classes. That will relieve him of the stress.
# Also had to get his eyes checked, as he sits In front of the computer for more than 7-8 hours. Ended up with glasses, plane with anti-glare. Had to spent 3800/- for it. And did I mention that, money is the main cause of worry for us??? It would have been tolerable, if it stopped here. But how can it? So on the second day after getting the glasses, IT BROKE while papa and son were showing some affection for each other. So what do we give to get it repaired? No No... peanuts don't work now-a-days. Money does.... Nice crispy notes. And all this is happening while ???? Yes.. money-is-the-main-cause-of-worry-for-us.

I think, by now anyone reading this post will be banging their head on the system.

Let me explain... See,we are not poor. And unluckily we are not rich too. We are just normal middle class people. Since we have bought a house, things have been very very very tight for us. With all the installments.. its a little tough for us. And now, we have to do some work on the house which is going to be more than we expected it to be. so you see MONEY is the main cause of worry for us... So please bare with us. :(

To let you go happy instead of frowning, here is picture of my sweetie pie wearing his papa's brand new specs, before it broke.

p.s: I am not this grumpy always.... my next post will be something good... I promise

Jason at 17 months

Jason will be Seventeen Months old tomorrow. And since Saturday and Sunday are the only days I get to be with hubby, I wont be able to publish this post.

So what is my dear son up to ?????

* Jason's vocabulary has two more new words in it, that's Kaka... for crow and Poo .. for Flower. Even though it does not sound as it should..

* When we ask him where his head is, he touches his head and if we ask where his eyes are, he pokes his finger into our eyes.

* When we ask him what sound a dog does, he responds with a bow-bow. And when asked about a cat, makes the Meeayoo-Meeayoo sound. His face expression and the excitement is the best part.

*He loves the kids serial ' Teltubbies' at the Cbeebies channel. Specially when the sun ( which has the face of a baby) rises and makes a laughing sound, Jason too starts smiling and looks at us. Its really cute. He does not like to watch any other cartoons.

* He loves the title songs of his Mamma's favorite serials, FRIENDS and Desperate Housewives. He comes running to see it. Mamma's boy?

* He likes to sleep in between his Mama and Papa, and that too with his back pressed to one of them. I like it :)

* He is now-a-days very partial with his kisses. Will only kiss papa :( No kisses for mama, only bites.

* He loves to lock us in the bathroom. If he sees someone getting into the bathroom, he dutifully latches it, as if someone has assigned him that job.

*He is a crazy about cheese. He gets over-excited as soon as he sees the cheese cube in my hand.He wont even wait for me to take of the wrapping on it.

*He loves his books. Looks at the pictures of balloon, baby, shoe and becomes very happy. After he is finished he stacks it back in the box one by one. But normally the last one wont go in by him, and he screams out. Then someone has to help him with it. After that is done he claps his hands and shouts Yayyyyy... and we have follow suit. Its fun to watch him do it. Someday will post the video.

* We don't have much space in the kitchen, so have kept the microwave on a stool. Its at the same height as of Jason. He stands in front of it, looks at his reflection and smiles at it. He talks to his reflection and also kisses on the glass door, and makes all sorts of faces in front of it.

* He loves to go out and play. Now he has learnt a new way of making us open the door for him. He goes to the door, covers his eyes with his hands, and pretend to cry. And in between he will peep through his fingers and see if that's having any effect on us. Naughty little fellow he is.

* He loves to keep the house clean, so he puts any waste he finds in the dustbin. The waste includes my hairband, My comb, his papa's pen, onions, potatoes and many more stuff.

* He is a lot into interior designing. According to him the front hall looks better if utensils are scattered on the floor. And since no one listens to him, he himself tries to decorate the house. Like utensils in the hall, onions and potatoes in the bedroom, the list keeps increasing.

*******

And now some update on Jason's Mama..

* Well, she is still unemployed. No one is interested to hire her.

* Is bored to hell. Is always tensed. Is very very irritated with everything. And is taking out all the anger on poor Papa.

* Did a good thing. Joined Aerobic classes and is trying to burn off some fat. Even though the first 2-3 days, could not move any of her muscle, she is enjoying it now.

So that's how life is going on...


But life becomes more happier and worth living when I see this smiling face....

How Safe Is Our Children?

Yesterday at Tammil-Tammil ( a Malayalam talk show), the topic was about the number of sex-racket being unearthed in Kerala.

The recent one about this 14-year old girl. Her mother's first cousin and husband would take her to their house every weed ends to stay with them. It was family, so no one had anything to worry about. They visited each others house often and were in good terms. But no one knew that this Aunt and her husband were forcing this girl to have sex with other men. And no one at her house knew about this. Well one day when her Mom took her to the hospital as she had Jaundice, they tested her HIV Positive. Shocked? I was. That is when the parents knew something was wrong. When asked, she told out the whole story, about how her aunt and uncle forced her into prostitution. The police arrested the couple.

Wish that was the end? A week later the girl dies.

I had goosebumps when I heard it.

Another one in kerala. A man is waiting to be hanged to death. His crime? Raping and killing a 4 month old baby girl, 2 year old girl and a 6 year old girl. What is the f***ing pleasure he got by doing so?

How can people be like this? What do you do with these people? I am so angry at present that if I get hold of them, I would cut them in pieces and feed them to dogs.

Its mostly some one in the family who do stuff like this. And the victims are not just girls, boys are also not safe now.

How can we be sure that our children is safe? What should we do? We cant be following our children like a shadow every minute.There are so many people they are going to meet in their life. We cannot run a police check on all of them... right?

So what to do?

Helloooooo!!!!

Hello Everybody,

Continuing from the previous post and the one before that, my sys is up and working fine. The first thing I did was to backup all the pictures and rest of the data.

So nothing better than another blog where I can post Jason's pictures. Its only pictures in that blog. So when ever you get time just drop in to "JUST JASON" and enjoy. I am not done yet, maybe within a couple of days it should be ready. The link can be seen at the side column also.

**************

Meanwhile ( Since I am short of money) I have started a Cleaning Agency. Its called...

JASON'S CLEANING SERVICES (with no underpants ;) )

SO any takers???

p.s: Atleast his hair is growing back :)

My System is alive.

After I wrote my previous post , I had expected to get at least 3-4 comments/ consoling words/ words of wisdom/ spats etc. But in the big wild world of bloggers only two humble souls felt like leaving a comment. Thank you Jonny's Mom and Aathira. May be others were very busy or did not want to waste time trying to make someone a little happy or maybe they did not just care.

Anyways, all I wanted to convey was, that it would be very very nice if you could leave just a "hi", or "hello" at the comment box. I would sincerely come and visit your blog, and will surely leave some nice comments. And then you can tell me, if you didn't feel good reading it.

************************************************************************************

So continuing from the previous post,

Hubby is back from Mumbai but very very busy with his projects. But at least he is home.

And my laptop is also working. It said that my system has recovered from some serious problem . But at least its working at present. So what I am going to do is backup all the pictures I have in it.

So will get back soon.

take care :)

Blogged-out !!!

Its one of those days, when you get up and feel like crying. Just cry. Why? Don't know...

It maybe because hubby has been in Mumbai for a week now, and will be back only on Saturday.
It maybe because My laptop konked-off yesterday. It showed some blue-screen error. And I know its something serious, as I have a Dell laptop and I worked for Dell. And The worst part is, all of Jason pictures and videos, right from the time he was born is in it. I don't know what I would do, if we wont be able to recover them. It was my fault, I should have taken backups. I just left it pending for some other time. Stupid me, if only I had done it before.Now have to wait for hubby to get back and do something about it. I hope I get the pictures and videos back.

Just the other day, I saw a couple with a 5-6month old baby. And I was missing Jason (when he was of that age). As soon as I was home, I was watching his videos in the laptop.

*sob* *sob*

One more thing which is making me sad and anxious is, that I need a job. A good one and that too near by. So that I can get home if there is an emergency of any sort. With hubby's work place being far, I have to be nearby. God help me..

So... I will be blogged-out for some time, but I will surly come to the Internet cafe in between to check my mails. To see if someone, by chance wants to hire me. Also will will keep in touch with other blogs.

SO while I am gone, please pray for me. Pray that I get Jason's snaps and videos from the sys, pray that I get a job soon...

And please don't forget about me :(
