Operation

Ahana was to undergo a small surgery to get a fibroid removed from her back. A little nervous baby, wanted to get it all done the night she got admitted.
Ahana: Why cant the doctor do the operation now?
Amma: Because doctors dont do operation at night. They go home at night.
Ahana: But it would be best if they operate children at night.
Amma: Why?
Ahana: Because children will be sleeping at night, so they wont come to know when the operation is done.

Mommy Baby adventures 1- Rangashankara


I chose this subject because I see myself doing this more often in future...there's gonna be a lot of outings with just me and kids :-)
With Appaji sitting in Chennai...and enuf of tensions for the weekend & start of the week, I decided I needed a break...
Took Ahana to Rangashankara yesterday...Zapperdockel & the Wock (puppet show). 40 mins show...Ahana had a good time laughing. Had my online tickets booked to make things easy. We reached the venue 1/2hr early. Had Sabudana vada & Banana custard pudding at Rangashankara, yummmmm. The kids got to sit on the stage, so got a close look of all the puppets. Nice short play with lots of puppets(Wock), water & sand J I think Ahana is at the right age to enjoy it to the fullest...
On our way back Ahana wanted Dosa with green chutney for dinner...so stopped over at Anand Bhavan in BTM layout...Post dinner had to wait for 1/2 at the restaurant for the rain to stop. I had happily left my helmet near the scooter...so when we planned to return, my helmet had got converted to a bucket of water. Covered Ahana with my duppatta & her scarf...I put on my jacket and drove home with whatever visibility I had with half my eyes open. Lucky that Ahana did not get wet...I had mosquito bite like boils over my face by the time we reached home (because of rain & polluted water I guess).
