C'est la vie
Its one month to the day since our daughter first met her to-be-husband in a coffee shop somewhere in Bandra, Mumbai - it has been an amazing one month because the girl has been moving at lightning speed from cloud one to cloud nine and may even go higher if there was any such thing. The few days she spent at home recently were a revelation because the kid who preferred to spend most of her holidays hanging out with her Chennai based friends suddenly turned all domestic and preferred to stay home. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't staying home to spend time with her folks - she was staying home because it was most convenient for her to stay in touch with her beau wherever he was, via SMS and mobile phone calls! She must have sent anywhere between 20-30 text messages per hour for about 10 hours in the day!!Then there were all those calls from her beau's cousins and close relatives - they had so much to say to her and she to them! I was flabbergasted to see how coolly she connected with these folks who she had never set eyes on! Then she goes to Kerala and meets a whole load of those relos and according to Sudha it was like she has known them all her life! Soon it was time for her to make that trip back to Mumbai and within a few days she is cribbing that none of her own relos seem to want to make contact with her whereas all her beau's folks are so excited about her coming into their family! Even her mother-in-law- to-be is in regular touch with her and she's loving it! And guess what she hardly needs to talk to her Dad anymore!! Otherwise it was atleast three missed-calls per day to yours truly to talk about everything and nothing and suddenly the calls don't come any more! Oh, yes she called today to ask me about what opiod substances could be as one of her patients was supposedly addicted to that stuff. So now the Dad continues to be her walking-talking encyclopedia and nothing more!! And she isn't even engaged as yet!!! Last night her mother commented that her relationship with her daughter has never been better - they're on phone constantly which was never the case up until recently!! Am I seeing a sea change in this girl I raised? Is it all that estrogen thats flowing in her system? Or is it simply the way of the flesh, c'est la vie is it??
