L-Life:
When I think of life, I often think of some lines by one of my favorite poets, Kaviarasu Kannadasan. It goes like this: (copy/pasted from some website)
Aasaiye alai pole,
Naamellam athan mele,
Odam pole adiduvome vaazh nalile
Paruvam ennum kaatrrile
parakkum kaathal therile
aanum pennum mahizhvar
suham peruvar - athisayam kaanpaar
Naalai ulahin paathaiyai inre
yaar kaanuvar?
Even in this lyric, Kannadasan reinforces the theme, "sorrows are credit of life, while the joys are debit, with the balance being mere dreams, and who can comprehend the arithmetic of fate?"

Very nice... great to know about you better.. loved the poem about life!! :)
Wonder if here's anyone who likes guMmi bears or worms!
That was really fast! I want to know ur routine ..how u manage to sit with that cup of tea when the kids sleep.
The quote for me these days ..if u want to have ur house clean and running, don't sleep!! And its a total mess right now, so gotta go!!
Neera: Nice quote. And true here as well. I sleep about 5.5 to 6h every day. No aftn naps possible. I run to make tea as soon as both kids take their aftn nap - I drink it very hot - so only fiev min max to drink it. And some 15 - 20 min after KB naps, usually he wakes up and I have to pat him back to sleep (just so I get some quiet time)...and a short while later, baby girl will wake up...juggling act starts all over until B comes then...feed her, change her, play with her for a bit...then KB wakes up, feed him snack, change him...take them for a walk...give baby girl solids...change her and make her sleep. Cook something for dinner while entertaining KB and then B comes, I feed KB while B eats and then I eat...After KB sleeps around 10.15pm, I get some time to myself - baby girl wakes up around 11.20pm for her feed...so the cycle goes.
Today since B was home (and we took kids out to kid's museum, play time etc last two days) during their nap time, I made him take care of them - that's when I get time to clean - scrubbed the kitchen/dining/living area like crazy, cleaned the fireplace and yard...B could not take care of both since both kept waking up - so brought baby girl downstairs and put her on the exersaucer while I cleaned...
Yup - cleaning is a big effort really - esp with two kids...I totally agree with your new version of the quote! :)
Hey Noon, nice post...really liked it couldnt resist but to self tag it :P Sorry! me nasty me! dont mind dear....and as Preethi said nice to know you better.

Hi Noonie...Good to hear from you and thanks for the sketches. Will continue painting different hues pal!! And as to why I dont write more often, I will not lie to you and say its because I do not have time. Its because
