Summer is back….

I love summer mainly because i can get up late,no need for the kids to get up early and rush to school.During this summer holidays i can do my work leisurely no need to hurry up.Will be cooking much as i have to feed the two always hungry mouths with snacks and cool drinks…Has to see that my fridge is always full with the mangoes and Taati Munjalu (Toddy palm fruit).Brought taati munjalu yesterday and within no time they got over.Taati munjalu is popular summer fruit in Andhra.They are known as Tari in hindi,Nungu in tamil more details are here.

Waiting for relatives and friends to give raw mango pickle.That is the one thing which i have not tried nor will i try.So uma waiting for my parcel of pickle and i am sure you will make an awesome pickles and podis.

The thing i hate about summer is the water.Last year too i ranted about by water woes and the picture is same as last year.Every day morning i crib of not getting water as we are in the second floor.People on the ground floor hoard so much of water which if given to me will last for a week.How much i crib the situation won’t change.For this i am waiting for the summer to get over fast and we get rains here so that water level increases and i get enough water.

House is in a big mess and uma will vouch for it.She might have got a shock seeing my walls with full of art work by Pinkuda.I am just waiting for her to stop scribbling on the wall so that i will colour my walls with my choice of colours rather than plain white.

Leaving you all with a poem written by Varunavi…

“”Deep in my heart when ever you cry ,

I get cry first in my heart.

And then in my face,

Please don’t cry….”"

What i am liking this summer??

The thing i am liking in this summer is the evenings.Near to my house a ground was converted into a play area for kids and a walking track.My walking shoes had loads of dust on them as i have not used them since last March.Now everyday i take kids to the play area and i go for my walking.Its almost a week now and i feel so light,maybe i am assuming or it is real that i am loosing my tummy fat.

Good thing is that kids are getting tired and are sleeping by 8.00 pm so i have time to sit in front of my laptop.Since their summer holidays i am not allowed to sit in front of the computer.The moment i switch on the laptop varunavi wants to play Pogo games and pinkuda wants to see mickey in Youtube.So the time i used to spend on the net has drastically come down but thanks to the play area i am getting sometime on the net since last few days.

Got so many raw mangoes from neighbours and relatives that we are wondering what to do with them.Did mango dal (mango pappu),mango muraba,sharbat,pickles (two types,mom did).And also getting so many bottles of pickles like mango,red chillies and tomato pickles.No need of making anything for one year…..

Yesterday pinkuda didn’t say a single word while coming back from the park,maybe she is upset that I am getting them back as she wanted to play for some more time.As we stepped into the house she said to varunavi,Akka we both will study teacher and we will go to the class and get a scale to beat Amma cause she brought us back from the play.(maybe she saw her teacher beating kids with the scale or maybe she too got if from her teacher)She is just opposite to varu,she doesn’t tell me anything what happened in the school.When i ask her she says much has happened but she will tell me later which never comes…..

Leaving you all with few snaps….
