Romantic afternoon

Many people have many idea of a romantic day or evening. Reaching at a st/age of life when most of my time goes running and screaming after my children, guess I almost forgot about romance or a romantic day out – wherever you go you have to take your children with you :) -- in a restaurant, most of the time goes to feed the little one or attending to his demands (lest he creates a scene) , long drives are good only when both of them get tired and sleep off  but by the time I am also tired and sleepy, movie was never a option for a romantic outing, drinking wine yes, but again it can happen only when children get their share of grape juice or lemonade and are sent to sleep, and usually it gets late , so in short time getting some quite time to talk, eat, drink is hard to get and I have stopped thinking about it …

So one afternoon we have a quite nice lunch at home, simple plain rice, sambar , sabzi, a little boiled tapioca and fish curry satisfied Anil and me decided to pick up our books while Ezekiel decided to watch TV , after few minutes of reading along with Eze, I decided to lie down with Anil who was reading his book … keeping my head on his shoulder , my one hand across him both of us read our book quietly , peacefully …. And did not realise when I slept off , when I woke up in between Ezekiel was also sleeping between Anil and me, and Anil was still reading his book , I smiled at him and slept again, getting up in the evening making some tea and snacks and talking …..  That was one nice afternoon indeed , so simple and no hastle arrangement :)
