It has been a long time no blog! I had been to India, and as we all know how busy daily life can be there. I had gotten so used to the US life, quiet and peaceful. In contrast, India is bustling with energy. Vibrant, is how I would describe it. Being a movie buff, I did catch up on couple of movies in the theater, now having so many people to babysit! Saw OSO in Patna and TZP in Mumbai. Both the movies were a great watch, very different stories well told. I thought it was patriotic that they played the Jana Gana Mana in the Mumbai multiplex until a friend pointed out that the anthem itself is not patriotic. Historically, the anthem was written in praise of the British. At freedom, between Vande Mataram and Jana Gana Mana, Jana Gana was selected as it was easier for the band to play.
Now its back to US, playing mom to naughtier-by-the-day son. Its a delight to watch him. How pure and free spirit he is, checking everything out with curiosity, bringing out all the love from mommy's heart. And of course putting me to a test of patience!
