Cathy sings on stage
It was the first stage performance of Cathy of Karnatic music. There were around 10 others. It has been mine and Jaison's dream that our kids should have music sense. Both of us absolute fans but having no understanding of music, voice and tune.
As Joel puts it...,"Both of you could be good singers but you have no sense of tune and timing....
:))
Thank God Cathy is better!!!
So on January 16th Cathy peformed- melodious and confident!!!
The photos taken when we started from home!!

two voices -one song
I have been amazed at the intensity of Cathy's emotions and memory. She feels intensely and responds emotionally and attaches passionately. At times I have been amused...at times plain jealous.....
However, one friendship which has already been on for 3 years needs to be recorded and put here.....
Shashwati and Cathy are close....to the point of my envy.....and this is her favourite song for her....which she can sing full....in tune!!!

You are a big girl mama!!
"And today mamma we are going to sleep with you and papa!!" Catherine announced. Already with shifts and nights....I was reluctant to share our bed with both of them...!!
"No way darling!! I thought it was very clear that you are big enough to be in your own bed!",I hoped to make an overbearing impact.
"But when you are going for night shift daddy lets us sleep here!! then that is because he is scared!! right!! ",she argued.
"What he does is his business...I can see a bed which cannot certainly accommodate four persons...and in any case you are a big girl now!", I passed the verdict.
Cathy was upset...but deep in thought....and then with a long face came up to me and said..., "Ok!! I am a big girl and I will go to my bed!! You are also a big girl...much bigger than me!! No need to sleep with daddy and no hugging business", and she walked out of the bedroom!!

Abra - Dubai Creek
The Abras in Dubai Creek have been sheer fun...we love our early morning and late night visits....the crowded abras...smelling of fuel...with the sea gushing past below...and the wide expanse in front of you....a ripple of joy jumps a beat...

An evening when sunshine is engulfed slowly by darkness....and the family relaxing into sandy dreams....

What do you want for the birthday?
Cathy's birthday was fast approaching. And with that her plan to celebrate also warming up. We were unsure if we could manage an actual celebration with the new schedules.
It was Jaison who asked,
"So dear what is it that you want?"
" I want a camera papa!"
"You are aware it is expensive"
"Yes Papa...but its my bithday!!"
"Hmm!! still its way too expensive...in that case you will have to choose between party and camera."
This was difficult for her. She already had elaborate dreams of how she would dress up , what colour wings she would have and which cake she would cut. She was deep in thoughts. I looked complainingly at Jaison..this was hard on her!
He just smiled.
Cathy returned...having made up her mind, "OK papa! I will have the camera....but buy me a cake , some balloons and we four will have a party....will that be ok?!"
Jaison was touched.....Yes my Chakkara vava!!
On 29th October both of us could stretch to include a party with the dearest of families...and few of her friends...it was less elaborate...but our best effort...Cathy went to her school, dance class...returned tired to celebrate her party...with her cake and friends and a brand new digital kodak camera.

Who plans and who executes!!
Joel was talking to Jaison
Daddy I have noticed something. In our family we all are very different kind of people.
Gudia is the funny thing....the joker...she makes everybody laugh so much..
I am the explorer....because I like to find the why behind everything...
You are the planner....you think so much...then plan and plan...and write it down and put it up...tell us..and talk...
And do you know what mamma is?!!
She is the EXECUTIONER....she executes....whether its planned or not its action for her...she works, writes, shouts, cries, drives....
Jaison smiled to this
And joel reaffirmed....yeah daddy its true
With a naughty smile almost breaking into a laugh he repeated..,"I agree completely...she is an executioner!!"

New job response
I landed a new job. I was excited and so was Jaison. We also had apprehensions as to how kids will take it.
This is how they took it!!
Joel-
Actually Mamma when you said you gave the interview I was not very sure what I wanted. What should I pray for?! Should I pray for you to get the job or pray for you not to get it. You know...its not that I do not want you to get the job....I am not sure how much I will like being without you!!You understand , don't you?!
Catherine-
Hmm!! so mamma is going for a job in the hospital. Very good! But I want to tell you something important. You should be very disciplined and do not use computer in office. Do not write your blogs there. You can carry a notebook and write down...come home and then put in our computer. One more thing. You should talk like a real doctor. Not this funny childish way....like a REAL doctor.I will keep the dress ready for you...and do not worry I will take care of Joel!!
