‘Tis been a while. A brand new year with a bunch of seemingly-no-nonsense resolutions, that might never materialize! I don’t mind. I like the surprises life throws at you, so much more fun than planning and running after things you aren’t even sure about...
The years only begun and I’ve got my feet already dipped in a big puddle! There’s this boisterous 20 month old cookie monster who takes off her diaper, rubs baby oil on her dolls, screams ‘mor’ at the sight of food and has learnt a new favorite word ‘godee’. Then there’s my very wise mother who’s enrolled me into an external program for English Literature. Reason: ‘You have too much free time, do something worthwhile’. Although, I'm proud and happy with her for the idea, I’ve begun to get a lil' skeptical now that I’ve actually seen the syllabus! There’s not a single damn chapter which uses normal words in them! Then there’s this food-block that I’ve fallen victim too. These days my cooking is lackluster! It has never happened before. I'm truly panicking. And let’s not get started on social life in Bahrain. Weekends come and go in a flash, with only whizzing memories of lots of food, friends, wailing babies and pictures!
*Sigh* and in the midst of all that, there’s my knight who can discipline Eshaal with just a stare! I don’t know what I’d do without him. The year’s only begun and I'm pretty sure ‘something’ more would pop up soon!
(Starring Eshaal in A Very Wonderful 2011 Alhumdullilah)
