Muffin's with Moms

Ever since I had to miss "Donuts with dad's" get together in Nishanth's class he has constantly reminded me about this with his phrase "you never come to my class" and so when the next event "Muffins with moms" came about, a day never went by without a reminder to Veena about it.

Just for my entertainment and to see his reaction I would tell him that can I come instead of mom since I missed the function meant for me, his face would suddenly light up and his looks would suggest "are you crazy?" this is meant for mom's not for you.

Anyways, Veena made it to the function and in her small talk with the teacher she found out that he knows very little about his mom. Apparently she has been asking Nishanth to state some things about mom that he would like to read out at the function and he would just shrug his shoulders like he had no clue.

So this is what he finally wrote and read out to his mom at the function..

"My mom is 35 years old. My moms name is veena. She likes te. She has darc eyes and drck her. She tacks me to Red Lobsrt. She is mared to my dad. She likes grown up moves. Her birthday is May 13th. She has two cids. Love, Nishanth"

I was impressed that he remembered his mom's birthday, on seeing this I asked him when is Acha's birthday and he goes August ......? and there it is, the all too familiar shoulder shrug.

Acha's last day

The last semester of my post graduate studies just concluded, it turned out the most hectic of all of the terms I've had so far with a single course literally taking away my entire weekend's and team meetings on weekday evenings alongside classes the rest of any free time I had left.

It amazed me to see that Veena and the kids were the most thrilled that it was my last day of class. On my return after the finals I received a greeting card and big hugs from the kids, Neetu wrote a letter to go with the card and here it goes, literally the way she had written it.

Acha's last day...

of school it is so aswome he is going to be home soon and then we have a plan planned. Here is the plan: When acha comes we are going to hide. Why? Because then we are going to jump out (yeah) and shout "Happy last Day". Are the whole goal is to make Acha feel good of what he has done and spend the time on it. I like him because just because he might need to be working but still he spend as much of time with us as he did with studying. It shows me respons ability and caring thos to big word make me proud of him and I bet he is proud of his self. Asome "huh" !

After the finals the class went out for a beer and by the time I returned the kids were settling into their bed time routines so the plan that got executed was a little different. Nevertheless it made me feel good.
