A look at Holidays!

I took a week's leave from work since my sis is in town! :-)s! Yay!!

Yea, Its great to have her back...From the time she was out of the airport till today we have been chit chatting and enjoyin the sibling togetherness after a year's gap!There are moments when I think this is perfection and nothing should have changed, getting back together was not hard at all ,its at the end of her leave that things are going to get tough again for me...

Anyways, we chilled at the new shopping malls in town,dined out and went for long drives.We made it to Oman on Friday afternoon-a 2 day trip, it was worth it!Took a bus and while watching movies, exchanging comments was fun...once we were at Ruwi's Novotel, we didnt have a problem choosing which bed belongs to whom.(so glad!) and we more or less agreed on what channels to watch!

Sultanate of Oman has to offer a peaceful, nature-loving, town-like simple living for its people.The country boasts of rich Islamic architecture and greenery , be it decorating the roadsides, the round abouts, mosques,offices or even apartments.The infrastructure is excellents and place is quite enjoyable if you like mountainous drives and lovely sea views from the top!Liberal about other religions, Oman has beautiful Krishna and Siva temples. besides Ostrich and turtle farmsthe beautiful beaches at Qurum and Qantab,the Grand Mosque(must-see),the Muscat city are prime attractions.There are no crazy traffic jams or congested buildings around the city and the mountains on the backgrounds add to the beauty.If you are looking for subtle,comfortable living and escape from rat-race in dynamic cities ,Oman seems a good choice.

I am back in office today and feel kinda gloomy about that....my room is also in a mess to add to it ,somehow writing a review on holidays has helped my mood.

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...

Uniquely Singapore-Day 3

As decided we started off to Sentosa island after packing some sandwiches and juices in for the rest of the day.Sentosa was some awesome experience. "Images of Singapore" being the best visit with the highlight of what makes Singapore and the wax models of the famous Raffles and other political leaders, also display of different birth and wedding ceremonies conducted in S’pore. The country takes its name from 'Singapura' which means land of lions, as seen by the fishermen in the early days. The "sky tower" by Carlsberg company was worth it too, where we got to see Singapore from almost 130 meters above sea level-this probably being the highest view of Singapore. Cinemania was fun but I have had better experiences before. Not to forget the Underwater world was amazing with almost 2000 different fishes, 100 different crabs, the Dugong attracting a lot of attention. This fish is named Gracy because of her graceful movement. She has the face of a baby cow, body ...
