Holiday time!

YES…YES…YES! After weeks and weeks of planning and cancellation, Mira’s Papa has finally managed to zero down on the coming week for him to wriggle out of office and take us all for a nice and short holiday. The plan is to go to Krabi - a beautiful beach province in the south of Thailand.

All of us are eagerly awaiting this trip but for very different reasons though. Papa’s reasons are the most uncomplicated – to put in simple words – it’s the jumbo prawns, huge pillows and the soothing seawater. And that’s it. Daadi’s are probably much more empathetic – she is finally tired of going from one mall to another in the name of fun & entertainment and is hoping that the serene surroundings and the azure water will do her some good. And for me, the very idea of going out as a family - planning out the day bit by bit, clicking some thousand unnecessary photographs, playing the instructive mom to Mira and Papa – is just too romantic to not remember and cherish this trip for long after it’s done.

Well, the only person who seems to be unaware of what’s happening around is madam Mira. But Papa is kind of training her to what’s coming. After several rounds of instructions, now whenever Papa screams at the top of his volume – “We are going to…….”, Mira enthusiastically raises both her arms in the air and declares “Kaabi………”.

Yes my dear, WE ARE GOING TO KRAAAAABI! :-)
