So I was heading out for my daily run (wound it down to 7.5km from 10km owing to the bad summers… 36degree C in Mumbai now) yesterday. First Ria pounces on me as I was lacing up the shoes “kahaan jaa rahaa hai? mat jaa bhaago bhaago aaj!” (where are you off to? don’t go running today)….. while I was explaining to Ria Ira starts looking at me with puppy eyes through the bars of her cot and making squealing sounds….. daymn!! I am so stuffed!
When I got back and was taking time taking off my shoes in the room downstairs the littler one, who was in her room upstairs, starts bawling. Apparently she was quite all along and since I’d let myself in there was no doorbell to alert her to my being back (and come on this is day 5 of her life and day 2 at home there is no way she would be able to recognize the bell even if she is Einstein). But there she was bawling and not listening to her mom only to go completely calm and quite the moment I went up and picked her up. Phew kids!! Too cool.
Anyway, I did manage to run: http://goo.gl/OP2Ox but that was yesterday. Everyday it’s going to be extra difficult to tear away from the tag team and go out for my run. Aah well hopefully soon they’ll be big enough to go running with me.
