It has been a relaxing, calm, eating weekend. Though we had four days, we didnt tour anywhere. One of the reason is that we have seen almost all the places nearby. Added to that my sister and brother-in-law developed neck pain. So we decided to stay home and rest.

We watched a lot of TV – comedy clips from Tamil movies, Tamil TV series, Tamil movies and three English movies – IQ, Back to the future and Anaconda. I particularly liked IQ. It is a story of Albert Einstein and few of his collegues helping a young auto mechanic who loves Einstein’s secretary/niece. It was such a fun. This auto mechanic doesn’t know a science and she won’t date someone who is not a scientist. So these old fellows team up to make him appear one. She falls in love but eventually comes to know the truth. But she has passed the time where her mind doesn’t intervene with her heart anymore.

On all the days it was some kind of sea-food – fish, crab, prawns. Why not? We live so close to the beach. We had crab curry, prawn fry and a fish dish. Wow, it was good. We were eating, eating and eating. Then we slipped into resting and watching TV.

We also had some intimate discussions within the family. It has been a long time since we had one like that. We talked about how each of us are coping with our situations and sought feedback/advice from each other. Applied family dynamics!

And we are back to Madras today. Same old library, same old story.
