Thanksgiving holiday

Unlike most of the population, I cannot really can't consider Thanksgiving holiday to be a long weekend, cos we work the day after Thanksgiving for obvious reasons. So hope you had fun shopping on Black Friday while I was at work, where it was busier and a longer day!


Anyways, I did enjoy my day off. Sometimes, you don't need plans, especially when you are not in a travel/explore mood, you can ofcourse do a 100+ things at home to entertain yourself. To begin with, waking up late and looking forward to doing "nothing" was great. The day just passed by with goofing around with dh at home. We cooked together, watched The Illusionist. Both of us enjoyed the mystery filled, tricky movie.

After a nap, we had masala chai and snacks to pamper ourselves. Also chatted with folks back home and shopped online as we found some good deals! Mainly got clothes, sweater and ,per dh,yet another handbag (LOL). Now I can't for those shipments to arrive!

To sum it up, we had no family get-together, we had no turkey feast or anything fancy for the holiday but it felt like one of those good holidays and a much wanted break! So Thank you, God!

I think that pretty much sums up the meaning of Thanksgiving! Sounds like you had a good break. Glad to see you're posting again.. visited after a while. I would have worked the day after as well but took the week off to use up my vacation time.

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 ...

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!

Interesting traffic discoveries...

Now that I am preparing myself to be equipped with a local licence, u can imagine me concentrating on the differnces in the road, compared to UAE.So here goes some interesting things i find on the roads here:- a) You may make right turns on red light on most roads here, after you check traffic for urself! b)The names of the street are parallel to the road, so look right or left not straight for directions! c) there are Sensors just behind the stop line at traffic lights, that allows the system to run accordingly--so cool! d) i didnt find a single cab or bus near my place! i think its cos my area is not city! :-( e)i like the center lane idea, that allows u to stay on it and wait until u take a left turn safely!
