Friday Post

Finally...its FRIDAY!!!

I wish the weather was a little better though. It is going to be rainy all day long. But still, at least its Friday. Plus, my boss is not here today. He is moving into his new house. This guy moves fast. Last month he got married. This month he is moving into his new house. I wouldn't be surprised if next month he says he is gonna have a baby. The shocker is that he is younger than me by 3 years!

Anyway, Friday means we go out to eat in the evening. Usually, we go to Taco Bell, but not tonight. We made burritos couple days ago and don't feel like having mexican again tonight. I have been craving Olive Garden. I see their commercials on tv and my mouth waters. Never ending Pasts bowl, Eggplant Parm, Soups.....those breadsticks and their salads...yummy. I haven't been there in so long. Can't wait to go. We are planning to go tonight to the one in Framingham. Anyone want to join? Hopefully it isn't too crowed and we get a seat in decent time.

So tomorrow is yet again another garba. Anyone know what time we need to be there by? I know some losers won't be there, that's fine we will have all the fun without you. They are getting food from a new mandir. So that will be good too.

Bad drivers

I need to vent a little about my drive to work this morning. I got so frustrated. It is bad enough that I have an hour commute to work, but then there are freakin' idiots on the road that make it even worse.

Here is what happened...
I had just gotten out of the driveway and hadn't even reached the main street when I see 2 cars stopped in the middle of the road. They were facing each other and the drivers were talking. I pulled up behind the car and waited a few seconds. Then I tapped my horn. The car across moved and drove past us. But, of course, the car right in front of me is still just standing there. AAAaaaahhh! So now I am getting really mad. I expect traffic on main roads, but early in the morning I don't need this crap on my own street! The driver in front of me was an old guy. God! If you are too old to drive...DON'T DRIVE! He doesn't show his blinkers or pull to the right. So now I let out a couple of honks. Still the car doesn't move. I can see in the car and the old 'bapo' is just looking around. What the hell is this guy's problem!! Finally, he motions for me to go ahead. I go around him and think of what a bad way to start my drive.

But it wasn't over. To get to work I get off 128 and off the ramp is a huge intersection. I have to get from the left lane to the right most lane and go through 2 traffic lights. I was almost there and had just about pulled into the right most lane when a car from no where just flies by. If I had driven a second faster we would have crashed. What an absolute idiot this guy was. I got a glimpse of his face...He is a guy that works at my company that I reeeeeally don't like. He cares only about himself and never thinks about others. Well, his driving shows it too. He has almost crashed into me in our company parking lot too.

Well, at least I reached in 1 piece.

Garba!

I can't wait for tomorrow!! Garba season is here! It seems like it came so fast this year. I actually like our samaj garba the best. We don't have too many people. We have familiar songs. We know everyone there and we can pretty much do any style we want. This weekend we have garba on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is like a bonus.

One thing I don't get is why most guys don't like garba. I mean, Premal hates it. He is actually trying to bribe me into not going on Sunday. He is not the only one. I know many other guys that don't like it either. They like to do other types of dance, but not garba. I feel like it is so effortless. I just do the steps and listen to the good music and just zone out. It is fun, you get to wear nice clothes and it is good exercise. Plus, there is a whole religous aspect. So, why not just do it.

I think we should do bhangra tomorrow. I love that. I will try to remember to bring my cd of bangra songs.

Mulholland Drive

If you like mystery and scary movies then watch this movie. It is called Mulholland Drive. Premal had heard some great things about this movie so we watched. Let me tell you...it is one strange movie. I still have no idea what the story of the movie was. We were trying to discuss it, but didn't come up with anything reasonable. I have to warn you that it is a rated R movie and there are a couple of scenes which you probably don't want to watch with the whole family. But if you like mysteries that you have to let your imagination solve then watch this movie and please let me know what the movie is all about.

Breakfast Date

This morning I did something totally out of routine. I had a 'breakfast date' with hubby. Usually, on weekday mornings we both have some cereal or bread or something small and we both leave the house at same time. We do our goodbyes then Premal takes a right turn out of driveway and I take a left turn.

But, today was different. We heard Dunkin Donuts was doing some special. We decided to check it out. So instead of having our usual breakfast at home we went to Dunkin. It was funny because we both took our cars and we met up at Dunkin. We got our food, did our goodbyes then went off in our own direction. It was a nice little change. Reminded me of old times.

If anyone is interested Dunkin is doing a promotion 'til the 24th where you get bagel and cream cheese for 99c. It is a nice idea for a breakfast date ;-)

Cool magic trick!

Anyone have any idea how they could do that?! I wish I could change my clothes that fast.

After a long time...

I know, I know...I am the worst blogger ever. I give them a bad name. I have not made any updates in over a month!! In my defense I have to say that I was out of the country for 2 weeks of that month. The rest...well...life has just gotten busy. Anyway, let's catch up.

So, Deesh's wedding was a blast. I am so glad I got the chance to attend. I met Vipul couple of days after we reached India. His family had come over for a visit. He is a really nice guy. I told him about how Deesh's new initials will be 'DVD'. He cracked up laughing. That was a good sign in my book.

Wedding ceremonies went well. Deesh looked absolutely amazing!! I am not just saying that because she is my sister. I really thought she looked great. She is beautiful anyway and those days she just shined even more. Vipul was totally swept of his feet ;-)

After wedding I got to spend some time with the family. It was nice and lot of fun. Only bad thing was RAIN! There was so much rain all the days we were there. Fortunately, it didn't rain during the wedding.

Life has now gone back to normal. Back at home and back at work. At work I have so many project getting in their final stage. At home I've been a little social butterfly. I have invited guests over for dinner/lunch for last 3 weekends. I think I am finally done now.

Looking forward to the coming holidays....navrathri and diwali!!!

We went on the Mohwak trail last weekend. This was taken on a flower bridge. This flower really was the size of my face.
