Another day

Desperate situations call for desperate measures. We kicked our hosemaid out today (one stupid &^*@&^# female) and methinks me finally gets to learn cooking. And my brother's home too. He might run back to B'lore as soon as he hears I set foot into the kitchen, so its all hush-hush. If he gets pissed about the food, I point at the girls, if he likes it, I smile proudly.

Baby's slowly starting solids. Vinu gave her some chocolate cake... and she loves it. Of course she wont admit it, her expression's like.. "Well, if you insist".. but she holds on to your finger till she licks it clean. Looks like she's inherited the MST (Manickenamparambil / Manickanamparambil sweet tooth). Guess Burfi, Sonapappadi, aluva etc. are not far behind. Heard her grandfather used to hide sweets under the bed, methinks I should really have second thoughts of buying her a playcot.

Cyber books

A friend showed me a link where I could get 2 volumes of Sherlock Holmes stories.. 6-7 stories each... for free... aha, now I can see some ears perking up... and now, everytime hubby dear gets up to take a break from his strenous work, I scramble across, open up the pdf viewer and catch up with Watson while he tries to catch up with Holmes.

Found another site where they offer free ebooks.

And the first one was:

Don't know how long this fad will last, but its interesting as long as it does.


Naina rolls over completely now and she's going to start solids soon. And I've just found out why they say "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". Her smile is enough to make you throw away everything and come running to her side. Maybe that's why God makes babies... to remind the rest of humanity that innocence and charm can never disappear from earth.
