Desi Treat

This weekend was quite a treat- a nice desi movie treat coupled with a desi dinner....couldn't be better! :-)

RANG DE BASANTI was the movie venture for the week !I have been eagerly waiting for its release and booked seats a day prior to the weekend...the results ,you get the first row of seats to watch a Fun-filled movie with a message.Colors of all shades make this movie worth watching.
It covers the basic feel of India,the people, their simple yet complex lives, the confused youth,the nasty religious groups, the corrupted ministers-its all in there!
The movie focuses on a group of five who love college life and never want to be out of campus.An enthusiastic phirangi girl touches their lives through her interest in creating a documentary on India's real heroes.The movie revolves around making this documentary, how each one of their lives are at home.The latter part is all about losing a friend's fiancee' in an air force accident resulting from cheap and old parts used for the plane due to corruption.The result is the need to awaken the nation and fight the corrupt politicians by encouraging youth to take interest in the admin and authoritative posts of the country.

Best actors are Aamir Khan and Sharman Joshi makes a good comedian.Maddy is in hardly 10 scenes but does add value to the movie.Music by AR Rahman is great too, blends well in the movie.Overall Rakeysh Mehra offers us quality entertainment.

Dinner was treat by VN at India Palace-the place was packed!

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

Rare Snow day! 01/10/2021

 After a grilling 2020, 2021 started out with a mixture of emotions - grim but hopeful, distant from family but long WhatsApp calls, rainy but looking forward to the sunshine in the coming days. A lot of R&R is how we started our New Years, thanks to the long weekend. We read, watched tv, cooked and slept a lot!  Once work started, it didn't even feel very different from the past few weeks. Unfortunately a few days into the first working week, there was chaos in the DC Capitol and many State Capitols. A riot started by an infuriating and possibly out-of-work men and women wanting to display their passionate support of an incapable President. Back to feeling uncertain and grim about the future, we were surprised by Mother Nature providing us a rare snow fall day here in Austin, TX! It was simply amazing and a great 2nd Sunday of the year where we got 3.5-4 inches of snow ! The sights were remarkable during and after the snow fall. The entire city and neighbors were thrilled...

On to the next chapter of life

This post is a long time coming... I don't need to give any excuses though, I am a new mommy after all! After all that baking, my munchkin arrived on 20th September 2013...yes very much on time baby! The first 5 days were extremely stressful as my precious one was under monitoring in NICU, which meant I didn't have the luck of holding him close to me in the first few hours and also a lot of separation due to us being in different rooms...it was certainly difficult. But as far as I recall I didn't cry at all since he was doing great and was perfectly healthy. He confused the doctors with his heart pattern in the first 2 hours of his life and then came back to normal on his own. I strongly believe he didn't take labor process well and certainly not the pushing part... poor little baby. After we got clearance from all his tests (God is great!) ; we were allowed to take him home. It was a feeling beyond words, a realization of how lucky we all were as a family and with...
