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!

has it ever happened to you??

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 ...

Hey!!!

its been a while since we have had some news....s0 here we go, The most famous 22K jeweller ,probably globally,has asked its male employees to shave off their moustaches +facial hair to keep up with their jobs!the examples are set by the owner,himself ,the managers and all the male employees irrespective of the hierarchy!now,i find this news very very interesting!having to look formal is part of most jobs but shaving off moustaches,what formality would it create?does grooming have to go to this extent???what is most capturing is the 'pride' of these men who hail from the land that claims to be 'God's own country' seems to be hit..... So India and Pakistan,i still believe,could be the best neighbours ever,but we have decided to be influenced by political pressures even after all these years!Anyways,the point is while Indian films are "banned" in Pakistan the Indian stars are not!which goes on to show how strong piracy is.so we have ms rai,going over to thei...

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!
