abu-rabad are in mumbai with their grandparents for the past couple of weeks. no this is not about how i’m missing them…geez!
anyway, so cricket and thus ipl comes up in our daily phone conversations.
me – so, will you be excited if mumbai indians wins today or the deccan chargers?
abu – i won’t be excited if anyone wins.
me (nirvana, already?) – come on, one must be little exciting than other?
abu – mamma, both are India only…
me – :-/
about 2 months ago rabad had a bad fall on her head. yeah, we do that every once in a while. to cut a long, scary story short, she had to be in the ICU for a day just for observation. needless to say she was fine in about 2 hours of being in the ICU. you don’t believe me, read this -
so we have some 7 tubes running in and out of her. obviously the nurses didn’t want to take them on and off if she wanted to use the bathroom. so, they put on a diaper for her.
i wasn’t allowed to be with her all the time. the nurses would call me in every once in a while. in one such trip, a nurse tells me, "she just didn’t pee till we took her to the bathroom"
me – yeah, i can imagine that.
rabad called me to her with a broad smile – mamma, they told me that if i don’t pee in the diaper, they’ll give me an injection. right, as if they can do that…they were trying to fool me.

another one from the hospital. i was trying to comfort her telling her, that it was alright. since both abu and rabad love listening to their birth stories, i told them how i was hospitalized similarly when she was born.
me – see, i’m fine now.
rabad – mamma, i’ll have to come to hospital two times. one now and one when i have a baby
me giving her a high five – yes! just like me. i came to the hospital once for abu and once for you
rabad – oh, then i’ll have to come three times. one now and two for two babies…
yep! i should have seen that coming!!
