Excuse for my absense

I know ... I know.
You all have been swarming to my blog everyday, hoping to find a new post from me.
Well your wait is over, I'm here to give you all the juicy details of what has been going on in my life these days.

There are basically 2 reasons for my sudden departure from the blogging world.

1. As you all know, I'm really interested in computers. But my parents think that I'm still too young to use one. They didn't even let me touch it. Now you tell me ... wouldn't this kind of behavior from your parents make you mad too? I took it quietly for a few weeks, but then my emotions overwhelmed me completely. I went to where my mom was doing something on the laptop and I reached out for the black wire that was going into the laptop and yanked it with all my might. I heard my mom shriek out my name as the laptop fell from her lap onto the carpeted floor. It seemed like everything was happening in slow motion (like those cheesy dramatic scenes in indian movies). My mom's shout sounded like thunder and I slowly began to feel that sinking feeling in my stomach that I normally get before I'm about to get a serious spanking from my mom.
Ahem Ahem ... I'm sorry I can't go on. I really don't want to re-live that evening again but needless to say it wasn't pleasant. The laptop computer had landed on it's back side (where the charger was plugged in) and the computer would not charge anymore. :(

2) The second reason for not blogging for so long has nothing to do with me. (I know you don't believe me ... but read on) We have just moved into a really cool condominium last month. So my mom has been busy settling in etc and she didn't get much time to take pictures/videos of me. Once we get our laptop back, I'll make sure my mom puts up some pictures of our new home too.

Anyway .. following are some of the recent things going on in my life:

-- I accidentally ate a whole peach - the fruit (along with the big 'beej' that's in the center of the fruit.) Since my dad was out of town and my mom was alone, she went berserk. She tried to get me to throw up so that I would spit out the beej. But that didn't work. So then she called up my naani in Pakistan and got the horrifying suggestion that I should be fed a lot of bananas. Yuckkk!!! I'm glad that's over.

-- A kid's gotta have some fun right? Well thats exactly what I was trying to do when I accidentally slipped from the couch and hit my head on the coffee table. I had a really nasty bruise, so my parents took me to the emergency room at the hospital. The doctor wanted to do an X-ray of my head, but I didn't really feel like doing it so I wouldn't stay still. I cried and wriggled so much that they couldn't take a clear picture of my head. Everybody just gave up then and took me home. It was really painful, but I'm doing great now - Mashallah.

-- I feel a little embarrassed to tell you this, but I'm going through the grueling routine of 'potty training' these days. It's no fun .. lemme tell you that. But I don't really plan on wearing diapers all my life .... so I'll have to buckle up and get through this.
Wish me luck!
