Sheena – the world class globe trotter

Oh what an eventful closing of the year it has been…

Sheens came back from London with this t-shirt for me – yes she does love me! I believe so. Trust me.

Poor child. Had to travel 18 hours from London to Sin via Doha and then travel onto Delhi for another 6 hours flight on the same day. She had a 5 hour break in Singapore where she slept for 2 hours and woke up with a splitting headache. But she managed to pull herself up and get to the airport and flew to Delhi. And there - she slept and slept for the next 24 hours. I don’t blame her – poor child. Like I had stated in the earlier blog on her laziness, if she wants to do it, she will do it. Otherwise you can scream and rant – and nothing happens.

And this time – I was smarter. Got her to call me from Doha airport. It cost 60 bucks for the 15 mins convo but it was worth every single penny. I spoke to her and I was calm.

Of course the kiasu mother turned up one hour before the plane landed and waited for the precious cargo along with Nidhi. Half an hour later, still no sign of her. Nidhi and I looked and looked and we couldn’t spot her across the glass. So called her – and she says – mom I am right in front of you, I can see you and you can’t see me? And true enough – she was standing right in front of me waiting for her bags. My excuse is – she was in black and she was so skinny – I couldn’t recognize her.

But it was good to have her back.. and she lost so much weight! I tried feeding her but no luck… well she will be normal in India when mom starts feeding her all the ghee stuff.
