One month with The In-Laws....

One month has passed and we are back from being five to three,
The house feels quiet and a wee bit empty.
Living with the in-laws was indeed an experience, a memorable one
I am sure they enjoyed every moment with us three, especially their grandson!
Mikhail and I had wonderful company when Nigel went off to work,
Having family at home at times, in a foreign country, is an added perk.
What I enjoyed most was the long chats after our lunch and tea,
The lovely Mangalorean food cooked by mom-in-law which we relished with glee.
Our morning and afternoon sessions of Hindi programs,
Where mom-in-law and I would curse "Anushka" and "Niharika"
The Hindi soap vamps.
The wonderful prayer at night father-in-law recited,
Which made us feel at peace and indeed blessed.

They too enjoyed every bit of their stay,
We ensured that they were comfortable, in every single way.
They enjoyed the food, the malls, the Dolphinarium,
The metro, the masses at St. Mary's church and the Dubai Aquarium...
Time flies and one month has passed,
Didn't expect these days with the in-laws to pass so fast.
But these days have created wonderful memories in my heart and mind,
Living with the in-laws ....the first of many more memorable times!
