Day like today...

Getting on with Week 1 in California. And its been lovely so far.....
The red leaved rustling outside the window are beautiful and the sunshine is warm. Nights are cold and cozy and being home is fun coz i am loving having so much constructive time by myself.
Hubby Dear has setup a lovely home, really not much to do, besides adding a woman's touch to it and splashing it with more color and order sometimes. Besides am an outdoor bird through and through.

Been keeping busy since i landed a few days ago - from exploring the neighbourhood, to doing rounds in the long aisles of US stores, driving by my old office - and missing it, visiting San Francisco city - the usual fun and frolic down Pier 39, Golden Gate, Sausalito, Crookedest Street and the likes. I plan to explore a lot more of the city in smaller pockets over a period of time. So if there are ny suggestions keep em coming...

Emotionally i haven't been so content in a long long time. I sleep well, eat well and laugh a lot. I ve also turned into a morning person, getting up before the alarm clock !!! Imagine!!!

I am living almost everything i waited for and dreamt of for a loooong time. Simple, daily, routine, mundane things. (Apart from a job) I dont think I want to ask for anything more right now...

Vacationing !!

I ve quit my job, and i am moving to different country – yeah the same ol’ boring US – and i am gonna be a homemaker for a while (aargh!!).

But i think, the reality has not struck me home yet, coz right now i am having a hell of a time at home (in india) and it has proved to be the loveliest vacation coz it does not hold an approaching deadline, threatening to get over soon. All i am seeing beyond this vacation is another vacation....talk about rose coloured glasses.

But u know wht, i ll cross the bridge when i come to it, till them eat, sleep and be merry! What more can i possibly want !! (okie, that’s technically impossible isin’t it :P )

Yet another move...

This blog has become more of a notice board lately - but i am hoping soon.....well, soon enough ;P ...... i will settle down, in some part of the world, get my thoughts collected and start writing, as in really writing!

And i am rather hopeful, because I do foresee a future where I ll have a lot of time - a lot more than I like, but i ll figure out a way to fill it. More on that when we get there, meanwhile I am moving!!

Leaving a city i ve come to call home last five years, surprisingly so, coz when i first came to B'lore, all I could think of was leaving it. It took me rather long to settle in here, but now i seem to have started growing roots!!!
It has shown me the best year of my life yet, it have given me my bestest of friends, the love of my life and so much more..... :)
(but that doesn't mean i dont have improvement feedback for it, but will post that some other time)

So it's a happy-sad move for now - sad for all the above reasons, happy coz i ll be starting a new life with my Hubby Dear soon......so, cheers to that!

Another one passes by..

This birthday has been an interesting one.....with a couple of yummy cakes, new associations and some very fun times. And it has also opened roads to places I had been waiting to go to, for a while now :)

Yummy Times !!

And so the bells toll....

The test of marriage begins much before the actual wedding ceremony. It has begun for me. How much you will change, accept change, allow changes, be ready for changes – tests of it all begins right away. How strong will your faith be and how far will it go - is not spared either.

Coz marriage is not just a ceremony; it is a value system we put in place ourselves. And it is upto us to keep its integrity.

On a different note........... talking to somebody in my office today I referred to my fiancé as "my husband". I didn’t realize when I first did that, and when I became aware of it couldn’t go back to calling him the fiancé second time coz referential integrity had to be maintained. (yeah, cldnt help the joke)

Felt funny in a nice way though, “The Husband” !!!! And I wowed at how far we have managed to come over the years.

Touchwood.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May this year be everything you want it to be . . . . full of love, make you smile, not make you cry (though i really wonder how is that possible), peaceful, bubbling with dreams and realities better than dreams . . . . all you favorite food, and all the boring meals, late nights, hangovers, sunsets, sunrises, beaches , mountains, babes and duded . . . .

. . . just wish for it, and it will be. And it will be, perhaps better than you imagined or didn't even imagine at all . . .

Pink Letter Day

I like to wear pink on my birthday, and guess what, so does my granny, who is way more than thrice my age !!!!

Well, I suppose, in some respects girls will always be girls.

Happy Birthday Nani.

शुभ दीपावली

आने वाला वर्ष आप सब के लिए सुखदायक एवं मंगलमय हो।

ये दीपों की अवली आपके जीवन के हर स्वरुप को प्रज्वलित करे........

जब दीप जले आना , जब शाम ढले आना.....
संकेत मिलन का भूल ना जाना, मेरा प्यार ना बिसराना

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

CHEERS !!!

Let There Be Light !!

आप सब को दीपावली की बहुत बहुत शुभकामनाएँ

आने वाला वर्ष शुभ एवम् मंगलमय हो . . .

Sweet is the taste of the day . . .

. . . and pink is what every little girl wants on her birthday !!

Time-travel

There were the signs, and I was too naive to read and follow . . . . There were bigger things to come, but then it was such a humble beginning, nobody could have guessed, and nobody did !!

That's why time is such a faithful friend and reliable critic, there are thing only it can unravel and show in its own sweet course . . .

Like an iceberg, always promising to have more in store.

Turn Around !!

If love is what makes the world go round, why does the earth take one whole year to spinn ?? ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
