I think it’s really bad. I’m averaging one blog a month. Really bad.

Last weekend we (Guru, Sriram and I) had been to B’mouth to meet Chakra. After a really long time we got to speak with someone in our wavelength, generally gossip about movies and relive our pasts. It was an altogether a very good break to us. And we found that Chakra could cook well. He had cooked vegetable sambhar and beans paruppu usili. That was really nice of him. And he did sandwiches for us on our way back. So guys who are visiting him can stop worrying about food.

Sriram next gets the credit of being the most accommodative kid. I’m surprised half the times how did I give birth to a kid like Sriram because he is a no fuss baby. The only time he cried in the whole two days trip was when we had to go cycling. He was scared that we were seating him somewhere else instead of with us, it was his sleeping time and the sun was shining right on his face without letting him to sleep! Poor thing. Anyway he enjoyed the return journey by cycle with gusto.

We couldn’t see much because it was a short trip and had to leave really early on Monday. We were able to cover only the beach and New Forest cycling. We reached his place in the afternoon on Saturday and visited the beach in the evening. We also walked upto P.B. Shelley’s house. Of course, it was locked and we took pictures outside his house. Next day we had planned to leave by 10 in the morning to Brokenhurst, but we could leave only by 12.30 (we were caught in catching up, hee hee). Like I said earlier, since Sriram was crying we couldn’t go cycling as we had planned. So Guru offered to take care of Sriram while Chakra and I left in our cycles. After covering 2.25 miles, Chakra went back to pick up Sriram and Guru as the latter didn’t know the way to the camp site where we had reached. I couldn’t wait at the campsite so I cycled back and met them midway and we reached the campsite again. We spent half an hour there, but we had to return the cycles by 5 o’clock and it was already quarter past five, so we cycled back. The trail was 9 miles, though we didn’t cover the nine miles, Chakra did it by going up and down the trail four times. I covered almost 5.5 miles including my short trip back to meet the guys. I was feeling proud of myself because that was the first time I did anything really strenuous after the caesarean and I wasn’t all that bad as I had thought.

After returning the cycles, we returned to B’mouth and visited the beach as some kind of Sunday fun activities were happening. We went on the Merry-Go-Round (?) and were generally having fun.

Next day, we had to leave by 6.30 as we had to take the bus back to London at 7. On our way back, we went to East Ham and had lunch there (hee hee, how could we miss it!) and got to know that Saravana Bhavan was to be opened on May 6, that was yesterday.

That’s about it on our trip to Bournemouth, and the ratings are…

Chakra – 5
Guru – 5
Sriram – 5
Nisha – 5 (hee hee)
