I have heard so much and so much about the difficulties in finding a pre school in Indian metros. It's not that India has got very less options but we have more schools than the no. of kids in the entire city, I guess...lol! At every corner of cities, you will be bombarded with millions of billboards, advertisements, fake promises and some sugar coated words like 'holistic approach, child friendly, learning through fun, credibility, vast experience, excellent teachers etc etc. But the more you enquire you will know how far they live from their promises...
A'udhu billahi mina sh-shaytaanir-rajeem! Bismillah...

Vacation in Kerala :: A flash back
It was pouring season in Kerala. Liya was all excited to see rain pouring and badly wanted to play in the rain. In fact, she played too..:)
Climate was too bad when we both were traveling to Hyd. Almost all flights were delayed due to torrential rain. I was afraid that they would even cancel the flight. Liya was not ready to sit in the waiting area, she just wanted to play in the water. She was shouting at me and was pleading that "look momma all uncles (the staff cleaning the runway) and planes are getting wet and playing in the water... why not me?"

Look who is back...!!
Yes, I am back to PL, my fav place in the cyber world. There are so much to say... just too much! Regarding my regular posts, yes bucket list updates from June onwards are in my highest priority list..:)
So, what's up with little girl and us? We had spent 2 weeks in Kerala- one week with my family and another with my in laws... We had no breathing time there. Though Liya was enjoying all pampering, she was badly missing her Pappa. J had to leave to Hyderabad after 2 days and most of our vacation Liya and I spent with family. It was more like her first time without Pappa around for such a long gap. Indeed it was a nightmare. She behaved more like the 'bride' whose husband left for abroad after a week of wedding..:) So desperate and gloomy!! Believe me, she didn't eat anything in these two weeks except one MAC cheese in every morning and needless to say she was more than happy to gobble all the ice creams and chocolates, despite all her tensions and gloominess.

Liya's response to preparations...
Couple of months back, I was saying Liya about our 'big move'...
"Liya, you know we are moving back to India..."
"I don't want to..."
"What? Do you know what India is?"
"Yup, there are grandmas and grandpas, we can go to beach and play in the waves... But you know momma, I just don't like it over there.."
This is exactly what she told. I was so surprised that how much little bugs are lured by American life... lols!

Moving On...
Yes.. it's been a long break. I still can't assure that I'm fully back. A major part of 'Liya blogging' has been on hold for more than 2 months now. We were fully tied up with many more things happening everyday. The biggest news is that we are LEAVING America for good...In Sha Allah (God Wills)!
After long thinking, un-thinking and re-thinking, we have finally decided to move back to India. We were busy planning the big move. Shopping, packing, cleaning, selling, throwing... Ma Sha Allah (As God willed), everything has been going good, so far!
So, we have another 3 days in the US. 30th Aug we will say goodbye to US. New place, new school, new surrounding... life is going to be a complete change for Liya, but we hope for the best!
P.S: Book Club and Bucketlists were on hold too. I have missed to update bucketlist for June and July. Doesn't mean that we were not following our milestones. Just that I was lazy to blog...lols. Will update soon..:) In Sha Allah!
