7 o’clock....

N 7 o’clock it is!

Hv been looking for sometime to share this Cuckoo clock at my house! I hv been wanting to own one from the time I heard of the uniqueness of these clocks(v sheepishly lemme add that I knew of this tidbit only seven years back!)

This was gifted by a fav cousin who lugged it all the way from Germany to UK to Dubai to Kerala n then to Bangalore for yours truly :-). N knowing how efficient I n hubbs are he decided to get us battery-run one as against the traditional mechanical ones ;).

Linking this to May Photo A Day challenge for the prompt "7 o’clock"!

The litt pleasures......

Isnt she a doll!

Sometime early last year I wrote this post on my cousin who was expecting her baby soon. What I dint mention then was that she was the first(and to date - the only) cousin\sibling of my age circle(as against your elder cousins) to become a mother.

So yesterday when I first had a glimpse of her daughter, almost a year after she was born - my heart literally went out to the little imp! Tht naughty glint in her eyes will have you gush with warmth n love. What I wanted  to really give her was a big-tight hug! But the danger of having her scream murder, ensured that all all of us followed her mandate of "Keep distance - Min 10 ft" v meekly! Love u sweetheart, muah! Cant wait to see you again.......

This along with the fact that my maid who was AWOL for more than 10 days has finally shown up today and the promise of some retail therapy with ma sis post lunch today, promises to make this a happppie weekend!

Connections...

A cousin who stayed a few streets away for a good 10 years and we saw  each other (grow) thru school-college-work, silly crushes(:-D), long girls-only nights, The never ending walks thru the colony streets,Mr. Groom hunt and the one tht will always make it the the most special....She  hugged me to sleep the day my daddy bid us goodbye....

Hmm n then marriage - career - studies came calling taking us countries-n-continents away, The priorities changed, the mails n calls became once-in-blue-moon affair n as I write this it strikes me that we hv not met for more than 4 years now(!)

But well arent some connections always there as if they never ceased to exist... So when this dearest gal has the first glimose of he yet-to-be-born baby (muah!), your truly saw a flutter of call on her mobile :-D.

A perfect start to a weekend huh :). Makes ma heart go mmmmmm.....

PS: A few work-factors seem to be almost on verge of upsetting this mmm factor! So c'mon wish me al the luck.. I know I wil need it :(
