Four weeks from today, we are traveling back to India. Things are going to get hectic here at my end. I have started packing starting today. We have stuff to sell before leaving the house, then the cleaning up of the house, lots of work to done before we catch the flight.
Things aren’t going to be easy once we are back in India either. It isn’t a vacation trip. Since we are due for our visa renewal, it is going to take its own sweet time. Most of our stay will be at hotel rooms in Bangalore and rest at mine and my husband’s homes in Kerala. And we will end up commuting between Bangalore and Kerala for the most part of 6 weeks (That’s the period estimated for the process to be done. God knows!) of this India trip. Having done this an year back, I am least thrilled this time.
All these are tiring beyond my endurance level. But then that is life! The silver lining is I don’t have to cook for those 6 weeks. And I can eat home food whenever we are in Kerala. Plus all those restaurants in Bangalore I am yet to try is waiting for our arrival. Moreover, Kanna loves to be in the company of his grandmas and grandpa. The silver lining is more shining now, isn’t it? Now my blogging taking a back seat during this time is perfectly understandable, right?
Linking up with Microblog Mondays at Stirrup Queens.

It’s really going to be hectic, Vinitha …
Hard to imagine the weekly trip between Kerala and Bangalore, I had done it continuously for more than a year 🙂
Take a break from blogging, and have a great time…
🙂

Hi Vineetha, Your posts have always been like a refresh break for me during my stressful work hours. ( Yes I visit your blog frequently while @ work;) ). So your announcement of arriving to namma Bengaluru pushed me to comment for the first time on your blog… Would love to catch up. Have a safe and wonderful stay.
P.S: mail me to know more about the new restaurants.

There’s always a silver lining. Sometimes, we just need to look closely.
P.S. There seems to be enough of us in Bangalore. Maybe we should all meet.

I hope the same, Lata. Sure, I will stay connected as much as my network allows. I will be on Facebook and my blog, but not sure how often I would be blogging because of all the travels and works to be done. Meanwhile, I have to finish up AtoZ posts before April catches up with me. 🙂 This month is going to be hectic. Have a nice vacation 🙂
