Letting March go without recapping it would not be fair to myself.
On to the highlights of the month:
Spent two gorgeous weeks in Kerala with my family. It was mom’s 60th birthday and when she said that she wanted to celebrate it, I didn’t have the heart to refuse. I did something illegal – travelled to India on my Indian passport, though I am now a British Citizen. My excuse, I did not have the time to surrender the Indian passport, then apply for the Indian visa. Why when I had the Indian passport already with me? Now pls don’t ask me why I still have my Indian passport instead of surrendering it sometime last year. Pure Laziness, nothing else. In Feb I had decided on a shopping ban. In India I ended up buying three kurtis and 2 salwars. But the thing that actually broke my bank account was the shopping for my family – son, parents, brother and my beautiful nieces. If I have to do it again, I would without a second thought. It was also the time that I got to write about eeprika’s request on a role that I played (here, here, here & here). Only downer to trip – it was so hot in Kerala that I literally sweat buckets!!
Two days after my return and on an almost sunny day (beginning of spring so to speak), I got a terrible stomach ache and had to get a minor operation done. I really don’t know why it happened to me at this stage. But nevertheless the very incident of having lost a baby made me think a lot. DH says that it’s an IT and I say it was a BABY. We have yet to talk about the incident and knowing DH we are never going to talk about it.
The irony of it all - in 15 years while I had 100% chance of conceiving I never conceived once, but now, the doctor says, with just one fallopian tube intact I have 50% chances of conceiving. Hello - Doctor do I look stupid to you??
In the meanwhile, however, my mind has been at work and I have reached at some decisions. My family, including DH might say that it was due to the above and some of it might be true, but I would say it that this incident made me see some things clearly. I am still pondering over it even now and hopefully in April (this month) I will have enough courage to put down my thoughts to a post.
