Happy Together

Right now I just don't remember the date, but it was probably a Saturday maybe 8th October 2010 ; that Ritu and me went together for some shopping at Brigade Road . Oh ... Ritu was getting me a new pair of jeans ....and   we were hopping in Levis and Wrangler outlets . However, we had the car -- the red Hyundai i10 Sportz which Ritu had bought recently.

A little later, after looking at some shops we felt hungry, and thought of having some coffee. I saw a newly opened coffee shopped , which looked swanky and we went in.

The coffees shop looked hep, I think there were three partitions in the shop - two of them were closed roof, and the other one was open. We opted for the closed roof, and took our seat. Looking around we notice that we were the only married couple there , others being youngsters . We chose to look at the menu card and start a discussion among ourselves - in fact I don't remember if we had been to a coffee shop after marriage .

Ritu ordered Expresso Coffee while I chose the Caffe Latte ; along with a chicken sandwich . A little later, the waiter came with the Expresso Coffee  in a very small cup, so we ordered Caffe Latte for both of us.Thereafter we spent the time having sandwich and coffee.

Both of us really enjoyed the moment.

Durga Puja 2010

Durga Puja is round the corner . The Festival is celebrated in Bangalore very well, but I never get the spirit of Calcutta here . I dont think the festival can match the Calcutta fever ever.

Last time we enjoyed the Puja very much , but this time we are a bit tense as Ritu is carrying . The other day we asked Sonamoni, about her freind, and she said it shall be a girl.

Keeping our fingers crossed.

Sonamoni's "Pete ooooo"

Sonamoni is always vibrant and full of life. She has been complaining of stomach pain for quite some months. Initially we did not take it seriously and thought about it as a colic pain ; which was quite common with kids. We also dewormed her, but the pain continued. We checked with the some of the best docs in Bangalore, but all of them said - probably its from gas.

However , a junior doctor said it might be a lymphnode inflammation - but the ultrasonography did not reveal anything. Last month, we checked her again and repeated the ultrasonography again.. and she was diagonised with mesentric lymphnodes ... which is a lympnode inflamation.

Ritu and me looked up the internet for this , and we thought about many possibilites , and discussed that nothing shall happen to Sonamoni. A couple of days later, Ritu did a blood test of Sonamoni also and the report was okay --- nothing has happened to her . We consulted Sakakima and Rangapisi, and they gave us some homeo medicines for the cough cold that assisted this pain.

She is the presently the best gift , God has given us -- and she shall become one of the best.

The pain is still there sometimes, but it has subsided a lot .

Coming back to life

It was a long wait , with a sudden resolution. It started with a chat on Skype, and it had a nice ending . Moreover, its turning out to be pretty good .

Everyone was happy and I felt a lot lot better -- relieved after a long time. One day, I brought dinner for everyone , in our new car ( shall post a post about that later ) . Days are passing by in a better fashion , compared to what I was going through earlier .

Nabobarsha ( 15th April ) , the Bengali New Year was okay , though both of us spent most of our time in the office. But I went home early ; thats the only thing I could do from my part .

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of lifeand the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
