School opens....or did it really opened

Hi
So this week school was to start. It was a hectic weekend as we had to do the last minute shopping for bags, pencils, rubbers, sharpeners, bag, pencil box, socks and other things. Then we had to get the dress also picked from the shop. So we started the weekend by going to Lifestyle and picking up the bag, and some other things. Then some things were picked from Central and the Noddy Shop. We picked the dress on Sunday and then there was a hectic search for a shop where we can get a "Patka" or a head gear for Sahej to wear to School. But to my amazement, I could not find a single shop in Hyderabad that sells the patkas. So finally I had to call Dad to semd me a courier of patkas.
Also Sahej got himself Roller Skates as a gift from his nani. And with the skates he got a doctor set absolutely free. So on weekends we had a resident doctor who was continousy checking our blood pressure, taking temparatures and giving us injections and then applying band aid on them. An interesting quote from Sahej came when I asked him "Beta ab bas kar"(Son, please stop), he replied "Oye, main beta thode hi hu, main to doctor hu"(Hey!I am not the son, I am the Doctor...). So how do you respond to these.
Then we had to get his socks and that was the most troublesome part. We went to Reabock Juniors and they told us that the only place where we can get the socks is in Himayat Nagar. No option. We had to go there and get the socks. It is good 25-30 Km from the place where we were. So we went there, got the socks. Then went to Minerva Coffee Shop for some Dosas and Coffee. While we were enjoying the lunch, there was some heavy rain going on outside. We found to our horror when we came out of the Coffee Shop that the road is completely immersed in water and the water is good 1 1.5 feet deep. So I went to get the car and when I open it, what I find inside is that the rain ater is inside the car. So a good experience of rain.
So Sahej was enjoying his last weekend before the school officially opened. He got himself a new Mr.Bean CD and was busy watching it whole weekend. He was so eager to see the new CD that he actually pushed us to complete our lunch early so that he can go home and watch the CD.
The day before his school opened, I came early from work and there came another of his smart lines "Aaj aap itni jaldi late kaise ho gaye". I could not answer this one.
So finally the day arrived when Sahej was to start the DPS. He had to wake up at 7.00 AM which is like very very early for him. Somehow he managed to get ready and off we went to drop him to DPS. And guys what came next was nothing short of an anti-climax. When we reached school, there was not a single soul there and we thought that we might have cam elate. But to our surprise, school had been delayed by a week and we were informed that now it will open on 17th. So bechara a completely ready Sahej was dropped home for a week of CD'd and POGO.
Chalo enjoy another break from School.
Take care
Sukhmeet
