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 ...

Wedding preparations...

So we made a trip to India for a fortnight, I had to write a review- it was one of a kind.(though the characteristic of hectic is an unavoidable feature!) For the first time- 5 of us took the same flight, thats jija, sis and 3 of us, so for a start it was exciting, and the new look of the Sharjah airport was extremely pleasing, very very refreshing! :-) AirArabia was as ever on time,love this airline, had all good experiences so far! so we landed in Mumbai and crashed after a shower at my periamma's place.my cousin's little one was so cute, full of masti...the next morning was spent in selection of a suitable wedding card.Somehow it was easy to choose, since just 1 stood out in my opinion and luckily the higher authorities approved, even though they thought it looks a little small.after 2-3 corrections, the outcome was great! relieved at that work! then we went get a lehenga for reception wear,now I love to shop in India - cos of immense competition, they make you feel like the...

The 1969 reunion!

My dad is currently enjoying "retirement", he recently tells me that he is soon having a 1969 college reunion! While just hearing that got me excited, the stories of how he found his college mates after 42 years was even more interesting. To begin with, he bumped into one of them and that kick started the whole process. They chatted about what they have been upto so far in life and if they were in touch with others. From there on, one thing led to another, he tells me. He met up with a few who never left town and stayed on for all these years. Today, they have managed to arrange a gathering of 25 classmates, all this without the involvement of Internet at all! Dad tells me that a couple of never touched a computer! That just concludes that the Internet is overrated and its sad that even if we are equipped with more tools, no one has time for another. So meeting up is pretty much a big deal in today's world. So proud of the 1969 batch!
