Open House & Old Friends

Attended an "open house" in Dhriti's play school today. That's bascially for the parents to be with their kids alone in the classroom and learn what their kids are bascially "learning" at school.
It turned out to be fun, Dhriti (as I had anticipated) knew everything we asked and all that..
but what added to the pleasure was she was able to understand the questions posed in english and she responded to them....Yaaaayyy..!!!

So that's one more mission accomplished!!

And we had Aps & family visiting us yesterday...No, we werent able to catch up much and were pretty much tied-up with the kids but then it was fun tooo...
You don't have to worry about blabbing over and over about your daughter, the other person understands that perfectly well!!!

It was actually nice seeing the kiddos playing together...something that we didn't even visualise in our wildest of dreams when both of us were studying together...
Hmmm....time sure flies!!!

And yeah I know, this post screams for photos...and yes they shall be uploaded soon...

4. Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

I might have to deviate with 3 & 4 not sure whom to tag next...so will amend that and say whoever reads this gets tagged (not sure if anyone is actually doing that!)

Anyways...coming up with 7 weird/random things that I do...

#1 I am your priority: I can never be happy being any other person in a gang/in a family etc. I need to be loved, pampered and need assurance that I am your first priority. I actually got around to asking my husband to prioritise between myself and our 3 year old daughter...I am that "bad"!!

#2. Always impulsive: I can never plan anything. I am that impulsive person who does things at the 11th hour. And I have strongly influenced everyone in my group at college that only things that we do impulsively succeed anything that is planned fails miserably..

#3. Strong exterior: Anybody who has known me would say I am very strong-willed, adamant, stubborn and then brave...I've tried very hard to build that image. But, actually none of that, maybe stubborn and adamant at times, but surely not brave, that's just a facade.

#4. I hate cooking: No I am not trying to be "hi-fi" by saying that I am a modern woman and hence don't have time and patience for cooking. Not at all, but I somehow detest cooking, staying in the kitchen for so long, waiting endlessly for that "right" taste by letting things simmer on low heat. I really can't do that and that's maybe because to be able to enjoy cooking you should be able to enjoy eating it.

#5. Very short attention-span: I can't concentrate on anything, any activity for a long time. I have very very short attention spans. My first month in the job and a very shrewd manager of mine was able to spot that. I strive hard to hide that fact since that day!

#6. Think & Analyse too much: Smallest and most insignificant things also, I spend too much time analysing them. And somehow I do this only for things that are not meant to be analysed like relationships, frienships, people and their actions...And finally having done this much of analysis I start acting impulsively when the situation demands it...Hmm...so much for the analysis.

#7. Can't really maintain relationships: Yeah that's very true, wherever I am, I have a new circle, new set of friends, new set of things to do. I somehow don't "maintain" relationships as in call up friends, chat with friends, mail friends...not regularly. I have been the most "active" member in my school days and had a whole gang of friends, but don't have contact of any of them now...
Thanks to a few very very very good friends (can't elaborate enough) I am in touch with some of the friends I've made since then...

That's it, its done!!!!!
