Hi , I'm back!!

Hi ,

I am back after a long and an exhausting trip to my inlaws place. Sadly my Mom-in-law’s health is still in a bad shape. Now its been more than 15 days that she has been admitted in the hospital. Actually she has been ill for the past 20 years off and on. Not even AIIMS Delhi has been able to cure her. Almost every second month she is in the hospital for 3-4 days. She starts getting high fever , loose motions , vomiting , everything together. This time we also gave her 3 bottles of blood .15 days that I was there , every day I used to sit atleast 12 hours continuously in the hospital room. Rajeev and his father used to sleep in the hospital everyday/ My MIL is not even in a position to sit by herself. She needs to be lifted up by others. All her daily chores are on the bed. Everyday she has been getting atleast 20 injections and 3 drips on her body. The doctors say that after so many years of putting drips , there are unable to find any veins remaining where a drip could be put. They used to spend atleast one hour finding a new vein strong enough to add a drip! And the temparature in Agra is horrible. Its so hot that one cannot sit without an AC or a cooler on. Since MIL was very ill , we couldn’t switch on the AC in the room and the fan was running at a snail’s pace. So you can imagine what must be the room temperature inside! It was boiling hot! Now that we have come back , Rajeev’s elder brother Sanjay is in Agra to help my father in law . Next week Rajeev might go again if she doesn’t recover till then. All the relatives from Agra and Delhi helped us a lot in all this. I just pray to GOD that she recovers fast. Please pray for her.We reached Mumbai yesterday at 10.30am. But we reached my place at 1.30 ( usually time taken to reach from Mumbai Central to my place is only 50 mins by Taxi , 50 mins is hardly anything considering the size of Mumbai ). But yesterday it took us 3 hours! It was pouring like anything and just like last year , the entire place was flooding. I prayed to God that we shouldn’t get stuck up in the rain and be forced to stay at some relative’s place like last year!! Thank God , our taxi driver managed to find away somehow to cross Sion Circle. Once that is crossed then there is no tension as Chembur onwards there is never any water clogging. I missed all of you in the last 2 weeks. I have a lot of catching up to do in the office as well. I went through all the blogs in the morning ( doing a 8-4 shift today ) . But will go through the photographs at leisure.
