Dear Subhomita,
Thanks so much for your comment. I completely understand your situation. I know the kids enjoy thoroughly and my son is saying now and then that he will take the next plane to Kolkata any time 🙂 I guess we worry, sometimes may be unnecessarily, and I am sure as they grow up we will get to relax too. Am sure your Kolkata trip will go off great. For starters the weather will be nice in December.

Cheers
Amrita

We have been there a couple of times since and she simply enjoys the attention and when we went in July, the rains… We will be going to Kolkata again in December, fingers crossed everything goes well….

Thanks Nishi,
For liking my blog. I have been following your puja updates too. Yes such was our state in Mandarmani. The food was good but so bad was the service that they could not give us anything separately for the child. The hotel looked awesome from the outside but was really badly maintained.

Cheers

Was surprised to read that in Mandarmani there were unable to give you overcooked rice. It is so much a part of Bengal. Great to read your travel story…

Dear Joydeep,
So much thanks for your comment. Oh yes you are so right we will probably miss these days when they grow older and will not need us that much anymore. We do survive through the mad times only because of the constant support of our husbands. Otherwise I would probably have not found the humour in the situation and write this blog.

Cheers
Amrita

Allow me to bring forth another facet to this piece of yours, once we see these “demons” off to sleep and pleasantly watch them, we actually forget whatever tantrums we were forced to bear, though easier said than done, agree, the mothers have to face the most of it but when we share the pain with our wives, perhaps it eases a bit…..also when these demons grow up and are on their own, maybe we will miss these early days….. Just the way you enjoyed the bonhomie with our friends, kintu tor lekhata pore besh enjoy korlam…. Kaal early morning flight, kintu couldn’t desist from finishing your piece, Will share with my wifey too!!

Thanks Madhupa,
For the advice. as I said it is already getting better. For starters we could keep him occupied in the flight. Hadn’t he fallen ill and hadn’t it been for the weird attitude of the doc we could have been in a better space. Anyway no regrets. I wrote this because I know so many moms will be able to identify with me.

Cheers
Amrita
