Small is Big

Robert Brault said "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." But the problem is I took this advice too literally!

Not that I don't value what this sentence is supposed to mean in fact if you know me, I do that more than anything else, but here we are talking about tiny little things literally. Small toys, cars, animated movie characters, puppies, birds. I even had a tiny turtle as pet, the size of my palm, Yes I said I had. Not anymore! We better not get there. Little things fascinate me. It wont be surprising if you see me talking to a toy character, I know it shounds really silly but I guess I have not grown up yet!! And did i mention toy cars, Raghu once bought a remote controlled toy car for his nephew and the poor boy just had to play assistant to Raghu which meant stopping the car from banging in the wall, bringing it back from under the table/sofa and so on....he never got a chance to play with it. And why do you think I mention about Raghu here, because why should I alone sound silly, Its not just me who is a kid in the house ;)

Anyways, remember I mentioned about bringing Mr.Clumpsy home in one of my Dec post. So why not a photo shoot for him!

Ever so animated Mr.Clumpsy from the movie Smurfs!

We picked up  this car in India, it was supposed to sit on our car (the real car) dashboard, but now as Mr.Clumpsy owns it, we dare not touch it..

Ready to take on the world..

And Mr.Clumpsy obviously prefers the car over the scooter, after all there are less chances of falling down a car than a scooter. Don't forget he is clumsy and accident prone..

My in-laws thought there was only 1 kid in the family - my nephew. But their thoughts have changed after they saw these. :)

What makes a perfect weekend?

- Waking up to a pleasant unexpected call followed by a talk with both the parents

- Shopped for myself in 1/2 an hour flat (that's rare, if you know me)

- Ate till hearts contenct, so much so that we skipped the dinner

- A husband who is having laughing fits out of nowhere for silly things, which was beyond my understanding (wonder if there was something mixed in his food)

- An entertaining light movie, with an extremely chilly theatre. Felt like I was carrying a personal Air conditioner!

- Evening Masala chai (works wonders specially after a cold movie experience)

- A visit to a friend's new house. Sitting in the balcony chatting & gossiping on a cool cosy evening with a view of the glittering Burj Khalifa

- I love small little things, specially animation movie character toys. Got a Clumpsy toy (If you have seen Smurfs, you would know what that is). But how funny, this character in the movie keeps falling, dropping and breaking things....do you guys see some similarity here! ;)

- And yes, the above list also included Grocery shopping (its not boring for me) 

- It makes the weekend all the more special when its only 1 day, got to make the most of it. 
For me, my perfect weekend! :)
