MEINE CORNER IN THE BLOG WORLD!

That's one of the movies I watched in the weekend, a really good one...Its a brilliant story more like a surprising thriller; wherein you begin to perceive the world from one woman's eyes only to realise that her perception is wrong! Its mainly about two weak women, emotionally weak in different ways.. one mostly alone but alert (Barbara) and the other in a complete family home but mostly aloof (Sheba). Their meeting place is the school they teach in, while Barbara is a year short of retirement and Sheba is new to the school. Sheba commits the mistake of getting involved with a student, maybe just slightly older than her daughter, which becomes Barbara's blackmail chance to get closer to Sheba, pull her away from her world and carry out things in her manner.Not too far from the scandal and the shame Sheba has to go through, she realises that Barbara is no lesser than a "vampire"! The movie is a gripping,emotional drama and with great artists,Judi Dench and Cate B...

Besides the fortnightly adventures, the weekdays are pretty challenging...now when I say challenging, its not like you guys working in office and meeting the pressures/deadlines...my challenge is totally in the opposite direction....its about having loads of time in hand and figuring out what to do when, its about the challenge to become a housewife, I guess. Frankly, once you have worked, given half of your mind outside home, this state is quite demanding according to me. Besides the fact that the surroundings are new and you don't have a friends' circle of your own, the lack of schedule bothers me. Ofcourse, you would say, make a schedule of your own, but what to schedule to clean n cook, what to schedule to read a book or engage in another hobby? well for the positive side, I have started going to gym around the same time everyday and couple of days of the week I have joined a Step Dance and Sculpt class...it happens to be the only true work out for my mind and body and real...

Santa Cruz, south to where we live, was our last weekend trip. Famous for "Mystery Spot","17 mile drive" & "Pebble Beach". Santa Cruz is about scenic beauty or maybe I am just finding every place scenic! LOL! Trust me, from where I come from, this place amazes me with the plant life- so called flora, so splendid! As planned we stopped at Mystery spot located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz and if I am not wrong, Redwoods is the name of the forest, where you will find this tourist attraction. The location itself is quite beautiful and the unexpected part was the huge crowd last Saturday, we weren't prepared for that at all. By the time we found a parking spot and checked at the ticket counter, the waiting time was 1hr 45 minutes! it was impossible to really imagine waiting that long and hence we dropped the plan, maybe some other time! I would say book you tickets and choose your timing online to save from the delay. We decided to drive to the Pe...

SanFrancisco was the escapade for last weekend - old, industrial, congested,beautiful and massive construction are features of this city.I was very amused by the roads inside the city,build over hills - steep going up and down , like you are going on roller-coaster ride!! The crooked street on Lombard just kept winding down quite steep surrounded by house s and well-done gardens, its a beauty! And everytime you are around these up n down streets , its a very good excercise! LOL! ;-) Besides driving around the downtown we went to the bay, checked out the bay bridge,walked down to the Aquarium there- quite a good break with the extraordinary colors under the Bay-fishes,sharks,batrays, star fishes, jelly fishes all moving or around and over you was especially fun for the children.There is also "Touch the bay" for those who wud dare to touch the baby sharks,bat rays and even the starfishes! We drove up also to the world famous "GoldenGate bridge", it was very cold thou...
