First Day to work after 4 days of break with Mom & Dad

22 Nov 2010
The first day to work after 4 days of break . 4 days with mom & dad almost felt like being in India . It was 10.30 pm on Sunday when we had a nostalgic feeling about next day to work....felt wish we were on a longer break with mom & dad.
We made sure we keep our morning activities are close to silent to avoid mom dad getting awake.However, mom could feel the sun on sky even though the window blinds were on.mom got up and slowly dad as well. Till the day before they Were well asleep even after the sun said good morning ... Reason could be sun was playing hide n seek with clouds.Sravan was busy explaining mom on how to operate the microwave oven for warming up the food .as we know mom picks up things fast she immediately Heated the water for dad.
Dad worried about the quantity of oats we were leaving behind for them. At the same time happy within that his daughter in law would go to work n not b there to force him to eat this eat that....:)

We were targeting the 8.20 am train which we could not dare to when we saw the clock ticking 8.16... 4 minutes to rush to station which was close to impossible .Hence we started aiming for 8.35 am train to city , we were there at station dot 8.32 am and there was a small notice board which read "the 8.35 am train would not run today and there would be a express train at 8.39 am" .Thinking an express train would take us faster than the usual one we waited for 8.39 am train.The train as expected was overly crowded , another resemblance to Indian public transport.Eventually we reached the station at usual time and we had to rush to office.
Few minutes after reaching office i gave a ring to mom .I heard that they are back to their old routine of having breakfast at 11.30 am .At office Sravan kept himself busy with intentionally setting up new meetings and attending the not so important meetings.Not motivated though , i kept myself with the work i had.
When we called up in the evening , dad said he wanted to go for a walk.It was time to leave office and we had to rush to the Body Shop before it closes (6.00 pm).We managed to reach there at 5 minutes to 6pm.After moisturising our hands with several testers we finally decided to buy "Japanese Cherry Blossom body butter".We also had plans to buy Tea Tree cream  and dad's knee cap from pharmacy .Hence, we walked towards Elizabeth street pharmacy to check , we couldn't find the knee cap which could fit dad's knee.
We boarded a train from flinders street , we caught up with dad on the Glenhuntly road.It was 7pm when we reached home.After having snacks , sinner preparation was on.Meanwhile , Sravan was enjoying watching Uttaran along with mom while dad was watching "Break ke baad" movie trailer on iphone.We tried hard to voice chat with Vandana but we were unable to hear her voice.But we were able to see her in video chat.Sravan's dialogue at this point "Ink em Mata , Autralia lo undi nee kuturu chustunava kada ".Mom's response "hau mari..ikkade chustuna, india unte chusedi kadu,nana peted ledu"..:P.. We also tried to talk to Keerthan .. with mom asking questions and keerthan typing in chat...after 5 mins or so Keerthan had to go with his fren for some work .This gave Sravan a reviving chance to get back to Uttaran.
After dinner and small chit chat we all went to sleep at 11.40 pm.
