morning rush

''Ah!  She goes with 3 kids early in the morning, leaving me alone'', says Boz.
 ''Oh, you are so lucky, you can go and come with your kids'', says everybody else.

 Fine.

What about cooking breakfast, preparing 4 tiffin boxes and dressing up?  Recently we change our bus.  The new bus driver Babool bhaiyya comes at 6.50 ! Our previous bus used to come at 7.05 and first one at 7.10!  My precious morning minutes.  I send Junior first at 6.50,  The bus will be already there. Never mind.  Junior trumpets through intercom and the girls go next.  Afterwards I run and rush to catch the bus.  Every single day!  Mr Babool's clock runs 10 mts fast.

''Ma'm, no problem.  I need to collect and drop one more set of rascals.  You take your own time.  It's ok'', says Babool bhaiyya.

Of course, it is better late than arrive ugly.  But these morning jogs make a huge dent in my self-esteem. Sighs...
