This one is for my dearest bro!!!

On the occassion of Rakshabandhan, I am dedicating this post to my brother. So here comes one more rakhabandhan when we are not together to celebrate.. Sigh. But such is life. Well we had a wonderful childhood together as siblings. We played together, we fought, we cried, we had fun, we laughed. I remember those summer vacations when we used to go to nearby library to borrow comics and then there used to be fight for comics, flight for games and fight for no reason.  During our fights Mom never hit us but she just used to gave us a look with big eyes and that trick always worked for her. Lucky she, got such obidient kids :) And then as we grew up, the reason for our fights was his girlfriends, I never liked majority of them ;-)

There is so much said and written on brother-sister relationship. And why not, it is indeed a wonderul relationship. I feel having an elder brother makes you feel more pampered.  So dear bro, wish you a happy rakhi.

P.S: While I was on train coming back from work I was thinking of this post and had gathered the contents in my head. And as I reached my place, checked the mail as usual and there was also a parcel waiting for me. I had no idea if we were expecting any parcel. I grabbed it and looked what was it and who sent it and gosh its a gift from my lovely lovely brother.  It took me to cloud 9 and I was almost in tears (I hope nobody watched me ;-))

Thanks bro!

P.P.S: I am sure after reading this post, bro is going to say 'You Nautanki :)

And we learn the importance of human labor

As skilled labor is very costly in this part of world, you have to assemble the furniture on our own once you get the delievery. Now we bought a computer desk, chair and a chest last week. First two things mainly for hubby as we have set up his office at home and the third one (not to mention) for myself. I just love it and have been looking for it since last few months. So as soon as I got a good deal, I ordered it making ourselves busy over the weekend. It was fun and we actually got to learn new things, got to see new type of screws and screw drivers and hammers and washers :) So what if we had an aching back and paining palms, all's well that ends well.

Here's my favourite drawer shaping up. I love it.
