We & Wii

As I mentioned, my in-laws were around and they cant sit idle. Of course no one can, so even the seep couldn’t help at one point of time. They were bored of being in US as, there is no noise, no gossips around as no maids around, no work, no sabzee walas/kabadi walas, no gardening, no cribbing on weather…. either all was well for them or nothing at all…

We went to grocery shopping, as soon as we finish that, we started window shopping (we as in 3 ladies: me, mom-in-law & aunt). Manish n Papaji hates that, Still willingly or unwillingly, Papaji accompanied us. Manish went to GameStop and bought something.

We asked him throughout the way, but he kept smiling sarcastically..we were left with guessing n waiting until we reached home.

He opened the bag and here it was - Wii. No one knew how to play, so manish did all the setup and played couple of times, everyone was suggesting something or the other in the background.. and finally one by one everyone could play…. Papaji enjoyed the Golf very much, Mummyji grabbed the Bowling like crazy, My aunt became pro user in golf n bowling, I became pro in tennis n golf, I guess manish was pro in every game.

The fun started again, Until they stayed, everyone started as a child and ended as a PRO. We all enjoyed playing Wii.

For those who dont know what Wii is? It is video game with difference, it has unbelieveable motion sensing controls. So as you play golf or tennis in the ground, the same way u play it here. Here the club or the racket is ur Wii Remote. It is like working out in a gym.

Finally, the day arrived. Me and my husband Manish were expecting my in-laws and an aunt to visit us.

They are home now.  As they entered in the house, the house turned to Home, a Home with laughter, talks, blessings, gossips, joy….as if someone was showering the flowers on a bride. They relaxed for couple of hours and then, we left for a Mall nearby. Everyone was so exicted, no one was interested in sitting at home and wait till weekend. They all wanted to roam around and see as much as they can in limited time.

Couple of days passed, the routine continued… We have been jogging, eating, sitting, watching tv, eating, sleeping, eating, etc…. But, some activity would have been bonus.  All the Malls were covered, nearby attractions were also covered (we are in rochester, ny…so you can understand). We have to go to Washington DC, New York City, Atlantic City and Boston, but that is planned for next week. So, Now what ?

Its friday today, but weekend spirit is lost, there is not much to talk as if we are done talking, not much to laugh about, …. though, Manish is home early to see what is the plan for weekend. but question remains, now what ??? An idea tickles in my aunt’s mind >> guess what ? Playing Cards…

Seep …. and the fun is back…
