Stray Grey matter

Its monday again...and i am back after a very brief gap. Lots of not very important things happened in these few days. The only one's worth mentioning are...

1. We are finally buying that house( one part of me will refuse to believe it till i actually see the papers..this is the more optimistic part of me writing). Hopefully in another ten days will will be able to register the same and be proud owners of a home. In a conventional sense i am still trying to figure out what have i bought
(1)...a home?considering i am not going to be staying there at least for a while, it is not home yet. (2)....a house? Yep, maybe but will be lived in by some stranger(s) who will pay us for using the place. So whose house is it anyway?
(3)....my own piece of the world??aah, here it gets a little tricky. What world? I only have 1600 sft of space in air. See, i actually don't own the land it stands on. So do not even have a piece of the world to call my own.
So what do i own ? my guess is as good as anyone else's. Let me know if there is a more sane explanation.
When i have a piece of land to myself, then i will be more confident and say that i own a piece of this world..till then, i have my castle in the air( literally!)

2. V got a new cycle:-)- this was an all weekend event. Ever since he managed to break his second cycle in 2 years( as in break into two halves- handle bar seperate/ seat and back tyres seperate), he has been diverting that energy into running behind cycles at the park- not very safe at all.
So after a brief poll at home ( 3-0) we decided to get him a new cycle( bi- cycle as V calls it) now, and not wait till rains get over. So he was told that we will buy the cycle on sunday when TB is off. The buildup started from friday evening and by the time it was sunday, he had a very clear idea of what he wanted- bigger red bicycle with trriiiing bell to ride with buntu( his playmate). So that is what he got..Bigger red cycle with bell and a rear view mirror. Some pics of it should follow later. He refused to park the cycle outside in the common area. So we lived through a sunday with a cycle being rode in and out of bedrooms/kitchen/ bathrooms annd incessant ringing of the triiiing bell!!! But he is thrilled, and the kiss we got said it all. I can live with a cycle on my bed for its worth:-)

3. Rhymes session for parents at V's school: Must admit i was feeling very stupid when it started, but by the end of it I was dancing and doing all those kiddie actions. I had a ball....though i got some very quizzical looks from the more conservative parents and a very admiring dancing partner in V. This one was deadly!..i came away feeling very much like a kid, and loved it.
