Now that it has been a month since we returned to the mother land, how are we doing in India is the most common question that gets asked to us. We are still settling but we sort of have a daily routine set.
Waking Up:
We all wakeup by 6:45AM. Kids and I get ready for school and work respectively and have a healthy breakfast. Rinu gets ready to drop kids to school. Since we have limited mobility we have hired an auto rickshaw to pick-up and drop kids from school. Since kids are not use to this process Rinu is currently accompanying kids to the school.
School:
Both Mihika and Saanjh have finally adjusted to the school environment. Their school is only 2.5km from our apartment. For first two weeks they cried almost every day while getting dropped. For Saanjh going to school every day is a new concept but she has adjusted well. Their school starts at 8:30am, Saanjh returns home by early afternoon Mihika returns home by late afternoon.
Work:
I leave for work at around 8:50am. I have currently borrowed a motorcycle from a friend, since my work is only 3km away it takes me only 7-10min to get to work. I return home based on my meetings but usually around 7pm.
Homework and Playtime:
Once Mihika has returned from school Rinu makes sure that she takes care of her homework… ohhh yes she gets homework! Man I remember dreading those days. Once she is done with her homework she either watches some TV or goes down to play if it's not raining.
Dinner Time:
We have hired a Cooking lady that comes every day in the evening and prepares dinner for all of us. We all try to have dinner by 8:30pm so that kids can be put to bed and be ready for school next day. Currently we are all sleeping on just mattresses in the master bedroom. Kids are getting really used to sleeping with us, need to break that habit soon J.
That's all for now… stay tuned!
