WFH with Kids around could be fun :)

Monday i was working from hyderabad and i was at my sisters house. My nephew has been around, hez varun(nani), 4.5 years age.. I had to stay back for some urgent work that wouldnt require more than an hour so i had an option to do a WFH. Past few weeks i have been working on one of the top priority project and i really had a stretched schedule.

I had no other option but to give my camera phone to my newphew so he can play with it and shoot lots of photos everywhere in the house while i can work peacefully atleast for sometime. I got a call from office (jyoti and srini were in the conference and my newphew picks it without his knowledge ofcourse).. He goes on playing with the camera (after lifting the call where managers are having fun listening to his sweet baby voice and deeds)... My mobile has a tiger wallpaper and "Ideas come from every cornor of my newphews mind"!!.. he wants a tiger now. Yes he is still on call with my managers (in conference).. I am still not aware of all this as yet. Nani, comes to me working in the other room and starts pulling me - 'mama, i want a tiger, mama, i want a tiger now .... '

Luckily i was on IM working... i get a ping from the mgr on gtalk, 'where is ur mobile, we are trying to call you'!!... hmm... i then rush to and look at the mobile and thats when i realize that Nani was on call for the last 2 minutes or so :) When i took the mobile from nani, i see everyone on the conference laughing :) and as usual i join them too :)

As the call goes on, my manager starts discussing with me on the deliverables, planning, requirements... what to do next.. bla bla bla... the phrase 'mama, i want a tiger...', is going on the background on and on :) not in a loud voice though... I cannot keep the phone and i have to escape nani for his statements, i kept my phone on mute and start walking to-and-fro from bed room to hall to drawing room to balcony just to escape his voice on the conference (so i can speak when my turn comes)... well, i wish managers know WFH could be hard too :-p

For me, it was a great 30 minutes of WFH on call with my nephew...
