being home @ home!!!!

…..hehehehehe

I still cannot stop laughing…. I had this amazing time at home this Sunday. It was raining throughout the day (and yipppie!!! It seems the Rain Gods have shown some mercy and if it continues to rain for a few more days…..we’ll have the water reservoirs full and NO power cuts!!! )

Everyone was home this Sunday…dad, mom, sis, lil sis and of course me! Thanks to the rains no one made plans to go out and everyone was confined to home… with no power cut …we all had this hell of a time watching a Hindi flick (Some Shahid & Kareena starrer…Chup chup ke.)It was a well made comedy (at least I felt that….considering I am not a movie maniac).

Lil sis has turned out to be a well seasoned humor cracker (I wonder where she learnt it all from) every word she speaks is intentionally (and without warning) made to make you laugh till your guts spill out.

Sunday evening was even funnier….it was raining and we all (my sis, lil sis and me) planned to go eat gol-gappas (pani-puri) at a stall near our place….and wow! It was amazing to have gol gappas in the rain….with my lil sis cracking her tiny spill-out-laughter-nonsensical-quips…..Well…we all ended up gobbling some sumptuous gol gappas only to have a slightly upset tummy later in the evening….grrrr!

All in all had a good time…and to very specifically say….it really felt like being home at home!

Lemon Tree!!!

I was just sitting idle today doing nothing much (of course I believe I am a tad talented to finish work before time…hehe so much for the self –praise!) And I recollected this funny incident that my father tells everyone we meet ….

This dates back to, when I was a little girl.

I was (and even now am) very fond of “Nimbu Pani” (lemonade). In Punjabi (my mother tongue) we call it “shakanjmee”.

We then had a really small house and there was not much space to really have a big lawn or a kitchen garden. But my father has always had an interest in gardening.

One summer he got home a lemon sapling, while he was planting it, in whatever limited space we had, I went up to him and asked him inquisitively “what are you doing papa?”; My father knowing that I am fond of “Nimbu pani” and also knowing for a fact that I am far too short of patience as well, told me “this is a lemon sapling, and one day you will be able to make lots of Nimbu pani”. I was thrilled and was jumping all around the place talking about the lemon tree :).
The next day, when my father came back home from work, I walked up to him with something in my hands….and said “shakanjmee”.
My father couldn’t but stop laughing when I handed him...the lemon sapling pulled out from the roots!!!

Now I don’t really remember of having done this, but listening to my father narrate this to everyone…for a good hearty laugh …does leave me guessing….how foolish…but how so innocent!

watzz the Joke!!!

The time seemed to be moving at a snail speed today every time I saw the clock I kept wondering… “huh! That’s all the time passed by since I last saw the clock?!

Either, I worked too much (or did not work at all) today. All said and done, the day has been reasonably rewarding with quite a few accomplishments.

Achievement: I kept my head from blowing off today!! (Not a bad start considering my temper which has been going bonkers lately!)

While wondering what to do, I just came across a couple of good jokes which made me laugh my heart out. Like they say..." one thing leads to the other".... I have just set up a another blog where I will keep posting all the funny quips, jokes, forward emails, funny pix etc that I keep receiving.
They say laughter is the best medicine..and I am building my “first aid blog”. Here’s the link : http://watzzdjoke.blogspot.com/

A few to start with will keep posting more!! Enjoy!!!
