Annual review

So besides the calendar year, is the birth anniversary....hence as I add on to my age tomorrow, here's an attempt to recollect how the past year has gone.

-Loads of shopping
-Fun with Bangalore and Dubai friends
-The WEDDING itself : laughs and tears
-Landed in USA
-Boredom overwhelms on weekdays
-San Francisco visit
-17 mile drive
-Joined aerobics
-Lake Tahoe visit : first ever parasailing,jet skiing
-Trip to Las Vegas
-Visited Santa Barbara and Solvang
-Finally completed my case study
-Joined ICC as a volunteer
-A California Driver License earned
-Trip to Los Angeles and San Diego
-New year party at a club ,first ever
-Yet another assignment completed
-Joined dance classes
-Hubby's business trip
-A small time course taken up
-A new dance class

And in the meanwhile

-Home sickness
-Earned some good friends
-Painful paper problems
-Potluck dinners
-Mixed thoughts about this place
-Learnt some decent cooking
-Few physical issues
-Grasping the local laws
-Relocation : its thrill and the woes

I believe the past year has been a mixture of ups and downs like many others, but it was special, as I took a big step in life and I think of myself as more responsible in all senses.
I hope the coming year will be yet again eventful with much more experience to help me get better.I pray to Lord!

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.

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...
