Are we nuts??

Two full-time jobs. A very active pre-schooler. A home. Sounds like a full life? Well, obviously the husband did'nt think so and has gone and enrolled himself for a part-time MBA in one of the most, hallowed management institutes in the country.

For the next two and a half years of our lives, bye- bye vacations. No Friday late-night movies. No Saturday morning lie-ins. No lazy brunches on Saturdays. No sending away the father-son duo on a purported bonding session(wink, wink) while I slouch around looking bleary-eyed and dumb. God help me...pray for me people!!

As for you, dear husband, congratulations!! Kuttan and I are very proud of you. I know you will handle this with the same cheerful irreverence and ease that you have handled every other challenge you met with..calm and composed on the outside, with a razor-sharp focus that I would kill to have and fools most people into thinking you're not serious on the inside.

Classes begin in June....Here's to new beginnings..

Dear Wife,

Like Mohanlal in Iruvar 'Enakku Adukku mozhiyil pesa theriyadhu ana unmai pesa theriyum', I am proud of all the things you have done for me and kuttan and this wouldnt have been possible without you. Love you.

Husband

Hi Rags

I think he applied in December and wrote the entrance sometime in February. This is for the part-time course btw and not the full-time PGP program.

BangaloreMom said...

Hee hee...cheesy, dear husband but thanks anyways...:D

Congratulations, and here's keeping the fingers crossed that things are a smooth sail for the 3 of you.
Now BMom, all that would be needed to rock the boat further would be an addition to the family. Whaddya say? :-D u wanna rock bigtime while you're at it?;-)

It's OK - three years from now - you can give a sweet father's day and graduation present for Bangalore dad - like I did for B last year - a sweet little baby girl! ;)

Am sure you guys will manage - hard as it is going to be on you!

Swati said...

WOW..you have done it..we dont have the courage..cannot imagine finding time in this full life for career plans...All the best ..needs a lot of patience for sure :-) We need to get inspired by you:)

BangaloreMom said...

Boo: Thanks. To tell you the truth, I wanted to get carried away by all the recent shower happenings and start the next big project of our life but hubby had other plans :). And will definitely continue to blog.

Sangeetha: I like to think I am ambitious. I even pretend that I am sometimes. But its actually hubby who has the big dreams. :) My job is to look suitably impressed and play second fiddle :D.

Noon: :D Thanks Hon! And yes, the 'dream' refuses to die down. Let's see what He has in store for us.

Swati: Thanks and please hold the bouquets till the classes actually start and I tell you how we are coping :D But I can tell you that if you put your mind to it, getting in is defiitely not a big deal.

Hey Bangalore mom, What can I say...I guess your family and mine are sailing in the same boat....both parents working here too,little one (2.5 yr - son) goes to a creche and would be soon going to play school.And yes while wife is doing her best to cope up with work ,home and kiddo...I went ahead and did exactly what your hubby did....enrol for an executive time MBA from IIMI.Infact if he had attended the open house at IIMB then we have shared the same roof for 3 hours atleast till I was adequately scared and made a quick exit at around 1 PM.

BangaloreMom said...

Hey Aarkay

Hubby in fact DID attend the open house. Are you in section A or B? Looks like you guys are going to be classmates! Congrats to you and your wife and all they very best!!

BangaloreMom said...
