A busy weekend

It was a wonderful weekend as my children and brother's children came down for 10 days vacation on account of Diwali celebrations. After a gap of 6 months all of them gathered and had a wonderful celebration.

All of us where at my parents home. But cooking to say was definitely a big job but this time, it was exciting as well. The children occupied themselves with their college talks mostly with the adventures they had.

They had a wonderful time going to the neighborhood, the nearby shops to purchase ice creams. They were just moving around taking pictures to stock in as memories.. It was nice to see -

• and hear the way they are sharing their college and hostel experiences

• the heated arguments, the bet and then the hugs as nothing happened.

• one going after the other as a tail and moving around.

• the way they were sitting away from mobiles and smart phones, atleast for sometime.

I do know all these are being experienced in every house when cousins meet after a long time. But to see the happiness in eachothers face can never be expressed. This togetherness they had only for a day. When we bid goodbye, they gave a big smile with a little grief behind the smile. Because we do not know when is the next gathering.

In another two days these children will leave to their respective hostels.

It was half past 6 pm. when we left. We have already booked tickets for a stage play and so, we had to reaxh the destination in half an hour. Anyway we did not take chances, we just sped and reached their on time.

It was a female oriented play where the lead role was played by a women. Her character being a truthful judge who never compromises even if the fault is within her own family members.

The play was conducted in such a way as there was no nagging or dragging. The characters and background scenes kept moving in no time keeping the play live. Each role played by characters are choosen with great care. The play went on for 2 hours. After which we left the place.

It was already half past 9.pm. We had lunch from a nearby restaurant and left home. How did the day go was not known as we were occupied from morning till night.
