Month 5 coming to a close

Diya is officially 5 months old today. I feel like this last month was a big one for her. She just seems bigger and dare I say little wiser. I've been trying for couple of weeks to teach her "Raadhe, Raadhe, Raadhe...". (Basically, teaching her to clap when she heard that song.) Yesterday she finally did it! I tired to take a video of it. Here is the video but be patient cause she finally claps near the end. Also, here are pictures from the past month.

New arrival...

Welcome little Kishan!

Congrats to big sister Kali, Alpaben and Jijaji!!

(Will post pics once I get some.)

eating before and after...

Okay, here are the before and after eating photos...they didn't come out as good as I thought...I'll take them again when she starts eating something more colorful.

Solids and sitting

I started Diya on solids(rice cereal) last week. First 3 days were tough. She kept trying to suck on the spoon and didn't understand why I kept taking it away from her. Of course I was refilling the spoon, but she didn't get that concept at all. I started her off with what the box recommended for first feeding portion which is almost nothing to a normal adult. Still it took me forever to feed her all of it. By day 4 we both were getting better at it. I started pushing the spoon in even if her mouth was not open and she started to realize that there can be food in her month without having something on her lips. Its been over a week now and we are both pros. She even opens up her mouth when she sees the spoon approaching. I give her rice twice a day now and it takes less then 5 mins each time. Only thing that sometimes gets in the way are her hands...she has to put them both in her mouth after I put a spoonful in....and that gets messy. I'm gonna need a lot of bibs. I keep forgetting to take a picture of her while feeding her...I'll post it when I do. It's a site to see.

Her bouncy seat is no longer a place I can leave her in even for a minute. The other day I put her in and gave her a toy and went to the bathroom. All of the sudden I hear her coughing. I run out and she is about to fall out cause she is leaning over the side and trying to reach her toy that fell on the floor. I got there just in time.

Looks like she isn't too far from learning to sit. She still needs support, but would rather 'sit' then lay down.

She learns new stuff all the time. We have to turn on the webcam every time we call the in-laws now. Its funny, last time Neha got toys and was waving them for Diya to see. Daddy, mummy were both making silly sounds to get her attention, but she was not having any of it. They really want to see her...wish they were here. Meanwhile the other grandparents are enjoying her. Looks like she really likes her nana the best...although her masi is trying very hard to make her love her more.




Its just amazing how she has to learn the most simplest things in life.

Diya...

November 20th will make Diya 4 months old. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime has gone by since she was born and other times its like it was just yesterday. She is getting big and more fun to play with. She smiles and laughs...I mean really laughs sometimes. She can also grab at things in front of her, but her depth perception is a little off still. She can kinda sit too. All these advancement, but her sleeping habits are still terrible. She has so much trouble staying asleep at night. Lately she is only doing 1 strech of 3 hours and wakes almost every hour otherwise....talk about no sleep.

The fun part is I can dress her how I want and she can't say no...not yet anyway. I put her in the costume, dolled her up and dressed her like a boy and no complains from her. I figure I should take advantage of this stage while I can. Soon enough she will be picking out what to wear.

I like this age of hers if it wasn't for the no sleeping thing it would be perfect. This month we can also start her on solids. All that means is rice cereal mixed with milk...which makes it almost liquid anyway. I am gonna hold off a couple of weeks to start, but can't wait. Maybe it will help her sleep better. I heard that the poops get really smelly with solids, but hey if it means more sleep...bring it on!

Random other ones...

Baby Shower...over

This was taken at the shower. I can't believe the Baby Shower is over. I thought the event went very well. No major issues. I was happy with everything. Thanks to everyone who came. Thanks to everyone who helped out. I really meant it...we couldn't have done it without you. A special thanks to Premal and Deesh from me personally. Because of you guys I had no stress and was able to stay clam and cool all evening. All that planning and preperation is now done. What will we do with our time now? It actually feels nice to relax after the big event. Looking forward to a weekend of doing nothing :)

Tibetan Food

Yesterday was a friend of ours 30th birthday. Her husband had arranged all of us to surprise her at a restaurant. He selected a Tibetan restaurant. It was first time I had this kind of food. We went to a place called Rangzen Tibet in Cambridge. So what did I think?

Pros:

-Lots of vegetarian options. See menu here. This is always a big plus in my book. There is a whole section for veggies and almost any other dish can be made vegetarian. I hate when a restaurant has only 1 or 2 options for people like me.

-Their food has a lot of Indian hint to it. I like Indian food so this was another plus. In fact my order, Momo dumplings, was served with our famous 'Green Chutney' and 'Tomato Chutney' and a soup that tasted very much like daal. Premal's order(Shago Meto Chumma) looked just like our cauliflower and potato saak. That was served with white rice and a side salad made of peices of apples, tomatoes and best of all mangos mixed with Italian dressing. There was even Mango lassi on the menu.

-Price was not bad. It was not as cheap as taco bell of course, but not as expensive as Indian food either. Cost was reasonable.

Cons:

-Yes, there was lots of Indian hint to the food, but the taste was little bland. Nothing was spicy it was very much in need of some salt and chilli masala. My dish was still okay with the chutney, but Premal's had no hope without the hot sauce. Though he managed to make it taste decent.

-Small place. It was a very small restaurant that fit maybe 35 people max. If it was just 2 of us it would have been fine, but we were a big group and took up most of the tables there.

-Location was very shady. It was in an alley with very little lighting and strange people. Yes, we were almost in Boston so it is little expected, but I would not feel safe walking down that street by myself at night.

Overall:

So would I go there again??....answer would be 'no'. I don't think I would ever crave that kind of food and it isn't worth going. But I'm glad to have tired it at least.

Been awhile...

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Here's what's going on in my life now...

WORK
I hate it. I'm part of this major project which has a due date of July 1st. We have to meet this date for tons of reasons. My due date is July 20 which means no relax time or 'take it easy' time. Besides this project I am still getting some random work which I am also expected to do in a timely fashion. Its just too stressfull sometimes.

VIDHI
My in-laws side have a vidhi known as 'khoro bhare'. It is a major thing for them. And although they are not here we are still going to do this vidhi. We are doing it one week before the baby shower with just close family members and it has to be at our house. It's like preparing for 2 parties.

BABY SHOWER
Major things have been done for this. Most of the shopping for it has been done, few little things are left to do. I have some minor worries which will only go away when its all done.

BABY
Baby is getting bigger day by day and the movements and kicks are very powerful now. I try to walk anytime I can to get exercise. Weather has been cooperating so that's good. Many of my work friends say that I have 'popped'. Which means I am really showing now. We had another ultrasound. As usual it was amazing. We saw the baby blink. Baby weighs 2.5 lbs so far. From the photos we got Premal is convinced baby looks like me. We'll see...

BIRTH CLASSES
We had our first class yesterday. I found it very useful. We have 6 total classes. They are every Tuesday 7-9 at the hospital. Our teacher is very sweet and tells us everything frankly which is good. It is very informative. Besides learning it is also a fun class. Some of the husband's concerns are very funny. Everyone is laughing half the time.

My babes...

After reading Disha's entry about her friends I have to talk about a recent event that involved my friends. The image you see at top is what I saw the other day after I returned from work. These four large boxes were outside our garage. At first I thought there must be a mistake. Then I read the labels and sure enough it had my name on it. After seeing the packing slips which said..."from the Umass girls" did I realize who they were from. My girlfriends from college had sent all this. These are the first gifts I've gotten for the baby. A high chair, diaper bag, hooded towels, car window sun gaurd, and a baby bath kit were all the contents. It is great stuff. It is such a kind thing for my friends to do. They are a great bunch of girls and I'm lucky to have them as friends. I wish we were able to see each other more often. Thank you to Amita, Charu, Madhu, Nehal, Sital, Tanvi and Tushima!

Vacation destination...

Every year Premal and I go on a vacation where its just the two of us. This year we were thinking if taking a mini vacation before the baby comes since we won't get a chance after. We would go in the month of May. We want to go for only a weekend. In the past we have gone to NYC and Vermont. But where to go this year? I'd like to go someplace peaceful and relaxing. Anyone know any nice places near MA? It has to be in driving distance as I won't be able to fly.

Happy Birthday Roshani!

Look who's 21!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROSH!!

Love that smile...keep it coming :)

Hope you have the best day ever! Love you!

6 Month Photo

Bouncing Belly

It was really amazing when I started feeling the baby kick. Now it kicks all the time like in the morning, while lying down, while sitting, while driving, while in meetings. It really feels weird when I am in a meeting with bunch of people talking about important things and my little one starts playing soccer in there. I completely loose my focus. Its like the baby is telling me he/she is bored and wants me to go do something else. I smile to myself and hope that no one notices.

Now, the new thing is the watch the kicks! After dinner I lay on the sofa and look at my belly and I can actually see where the baby is kicking. A little part of the belly bounces and shakes a bit. Some kicks are hard and very obvious. Premal loves those...he gets a kick out of the kicks :)

I hear in few months I will actually be able to see the foot impression on the belly when it kicks. I can't wait.

*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Yesterday, Premal and I had a very silly discussion about the baby. We were discussing how after the baby comes we might start arguing more because a baby is a big change. I mentioned how buying a house was a big change and we did fine. Premal suggested it was because the house is divided between us and we each take care of different parts of the house.

So...naturally I suggested we divide the baby's parts :) I took the 'bugal', the hands and neck. He wanted the belly and butt. But when it came to the face, we both wanted it! We couldn't go on and we had to stop and gave up.

I know, its silly.

Situ's baby shower

Situ and I showing off our bellies at her baby shower :)

Do you see a difference?

Some of you have been asking for these...

Daylight Savings Time

DST

If you haven't already heard this weekend is when we change the clocks to one hour ahead. Thanks to our president it is 3 weeks earlier than usual.

Normally this day comes, we change the clocks and it goes...not a big deal. But this year...my God...there is so much chaos at the office. Why, you ask? Well, normally your PC knows when daylight savings is and makes the change to its clock automatically. But this year how is it supposed to know that Bush has changed the date? Enter patches! We have to patch all servers and softwares so that it knows what the new dates are. We even had to patch our Blackberries.

Its just amazing to me how this little change effects so much. I am not for or against this change, I wish we didn't have to deal with the back lash of it. Let me know if anyone else is going through what we are.

Scans...

Here are some photos of the ultrasound. Couldn't get hold of a scanner, but they are pictures of the picture. Anyway, for Premal and I it was pretty obvious what we were looking at, but if you find yourself in that episode on Friends where Rachel couldn't see the baby I put a labelled version below. I believe if you click on it, it will enlarge.

We finally also got the results of the ultrasound. Doctor said baby looks healthy and normal. Only small bit of concern was that I have slightly low lying placenta which should move up and will require one more ultrasound in 2 months.

No, we did not find out the gender of the baby. I want to find out the old-fashioned way.

Its been awhile...

I know, its been awhile since I last updated. I was away for a training and then work got really busy and I was too exhausted to make updates. Plus, carrying around a little one takes a toll. Things are getting better now. I've been feeling much better. I've gained 2 pounds and I'm even starting to show(well, a little bit). I found out a friend of mine is also expecting and is due same day as me!! (She is showing much more than me.)

We had our anatomy ultrasound yesterday. It was out of this world! The baby looks so different from last time. It weighs 7 ounces and heartbeat was 157 beats/minute.

Things the tech measured and looked at :
-4 chambers of the heart
-heart size
-skull size
-brain size
-femur bone (thigh bone)
-humerus bone (arm bone)
-hands
-feet
-stomach area
-eyes
-spine
-bladder
-kidney
-placenta
-umbilical cord
-cervix

All of it was really, really amazing. We could actually see the 4 chambers of the heart and of course the beating of the heart itself was awesome. The spine was one of my favorite things to see. It looked really beautiful. The profile was great too. We could even see the baby moving. Tech was getting almost frustrated that it was moving so much. She did finally get all the info that was needed. She printed out few of the shots for us to take home. (I'll post those if I can get my hands on a scanner.) All of the photos and info gets sent to the radiologist who sends it to my doctor who will let me know the results. The waiting it gonna be hard, but it is only for couple of days.

Next step I'm excited about is feeling the baby's movements. I should be feeling them in the next few weeks!

Congrats!

Happy 1st Anniversary to Tulan and Avani!!

X-rated?

I'm a little surprised by today's BLaugh cartoon. Is that classified as being X-rated? If so, sorry guys I thought it was a clean cartoon. Good thing it only stays for a day (or 2 sometimes). It is a little funny though.

Deesh's Day!!

To the Best Sister Ever!

Happy Birthday!!

Wishing you all the happiest of moments today and always.

I love you.

Anniversary recap

Some photos we took on our Anniversary...






Though we didn't stick to our plans it was still a great anniversary. I expected the roses, but the ring was a nice surprise from Premal. It's even engraved.

Later that day we had cake with the family. It was good cake. (Unfortunately, didn't have the camera then.)

Four Years Ago...

Four years ago today we were doing this.
Happy Anniversay, hun!!

I love you very much.

So, what are we doing to celebrate this wonderful occasion? Well, not too much. We are going to our (currently) favorite restaurant...Byblos. After which we will head over to the Burlington area where family members will be waiting for us. Well, that is about it and that is the plan right now. Lets see if we stick to it.

Pictures...

Found a really cool blog today. They just post pictures of random things. Take a look.

X-mas weekend over

Can't believe Christmas is over. Buying the gifts, decorating, family get-togethers...are all over. It was a great year. First time we did xmas at my house. Opening the gifts was fun. Hanging out with Om and Rosh was a blast as always.

Waking up this morning was really tough. Couldn't believe I had to go to work today. Most people I know have today off. The roads were empty! The company parking lot was also empty! Seems like no one is here and getting enthu to do work is almost impossible. I am the only one here from my group. Yes, there are only 4 in our group, but still. Will try to escape little early today. Good thing it is only a 4 day week.

Looking forward to the New Years weekend.

New machines

I'm not sure what happened, but I am magically able to upload images again! Blogging without images can get boring.

So, anyway, as you can see we got new appliances for the kitchen. We got a new range and dishwasher, both stainless steel! We have a flat top stove now. (We had coils before.) It took a little getting used at first, but now I have pretty much mastered the tough stuff like making roti and boiling milk for daahi. The best part is cleaning!! It is so much easier now. The washer is something I am still getting used to. With our old one I knew exactly how to fill it to the max. I haven't quite figured out the 'dish-layout' yet. But the cool thing is..well there are 2 cool things. One, it fits a lot more dishes than our old one. It feels like we don't need to turn it on as much. Two, it actually dries the dishes. (Our old one didn't dry them.) So now I can actually put away the dishes as soon as the load is done. No more opening it up and letting it dry or using a towel to dry everything.

Both look really sleek and go really well with the exhaust fan which we put in some time back. Only thing that doesn't match now is the fridge which is white in color. But, I am not complaining because I really love my fridge. It is big enough for all our food and I like the layout of it inside. We have a 'home' for all the food in the fridge.





So, do I feel like cooking more now that I have these new machines? Well... not really :)

Weekend update

I know it’s a little late to have a weekend update since we are already in the middle of the week, but I feel like it anyway.

Friday Night:
Came home from work and went to Mango for dinner. I was craving their Tom Yum soup and it was really nice to have it. The food really hit the spot. Came home and slept.

Saturday:
In morning did some grocery shopping. Had a nice lunch at a new place that recently opened up in Millis called ‘Bagels Best’. In evening went to a friend’s 30th surprise birthday party. It was lot of fun. We were up really late playing games. First we played charades then played Cranium. Charades is when you act out something and the team has to guess what it is. It was sooo funny!! Cranium was good too.

Sunday:
My mom’s birthday! Mom, dad and Deesh came over for lunch and dinner. It was really nice. Made veggie puffs for lunch and lasagna for dinner. Both came out good. Last thing we had was cake. All turned out well and I think mom really had fun.

Coming weekend we have no plans. All I want to do is sleep.

BLaugh

As you can see in the right column I added something new...BLaugh comics. It automatically updates itself everyday. So now there will be something new to read on my blog everyday. You can go to the site and read the previous comics too. Seems like they are pretty good. If anyone knows of something better let me know.

What a site

I was driving home from work yesterday. I finally reached the one long back-road I take that gets me into Millis. I have never seen any traffic on this road. But, yesterday it was bumper-to-bumper. It was moving very slowly. An ambulance drove by and few minutes later it drove back. There had to be an accident ahead and someone was being taken to the hospital. Now the traffic was totally stopped and I put my car in park. Some people got out of their cars. Waited for 10-15mins. Finally, the traffic started moving. I could see the police lights and tow trucks ahead. As I reached the scene of the accident I slowed down (to check it out of course) and I was shocked. I had never seen a car get this totaled before. This car was literally wrapped around the telephone poll. It went head-on at full speed into the poll. The hood of the car went all the way around the poll. The poll was actually broken into 2 pieces from the impact. The air bag was out and the windows were all shattered. Dibri was everywhere on the road. If the car was in such bad shape I can't imagine what the people inside went through. How can anyone crash like that? The driver had to be blind. There are no lights on this road, but if you have your headlights on you can see everything. The driver must have been drunk or high.

Weekend Discoveries

Interesting things discovered in the past weekend...

-DF and I weigh the same: I'm not sure if he weighs too less or I weigh too much or maybe it’s both! The worst part is that I lost some weight so I actually used to weigh more than him! How sad? Can someone please inject him with some fat or some rocks so at least he weighs more than me?

-Deesh's friends know how to buy nice gifts: Some of her college friends took her out on Saturday to celebrate her getting married. They got her a wedding gift...a ROOMBA!! It is such a cool idea and for a lazy person like her its the perfect gift.

-There is a rat living in our shed: We actually didn't discover it this past weekend, but we confirmed that it was a rat. It has made a little home for itself and yesterday I had the guts to actually take a closer look. It is definitely a rat.

-Premal is just as scared of the rat as I am: He tried to get me to go in the shed to get stuff. I refused and he had to do it himself. So before opening the door he bangs on the wall, the roof, the window of the shed. Then he opens the door and runs quickly away from the shed. He waits few seconds to be sure nothing is moving then slowly walks in keeping his eye in the area where we saw it last. It was still there. I think it might be dead, but neither one of us have the guts to touch it.

Dreaming

I have dreams all the time. When I was little I could actually control them. It was pretty cool. I would be in a dream then somehow I remember that I'm dreaming. (That was the hardest part....realizing that it was a dream.) But once I did I could change the people, the location, the events....almost anything. As I grew up it got harder to do this or maybe I just didn't try as hard. The dreams have also become more serious. I still have a little control. If I am having a nightmare and I'm at the worst part of it (like I'm just about to be captured or killed or about to fall) I realize its not real and I can actually wake myself out of sleep. There is actually a term for this its called Lucid Dreaming.

Last night I had 2 disturbing dreams. In the first, I had just about fallen asleep and I realize I can't speak, move or do anything. I try really hard to scream for help, but nothing. Then I try moving around really fast, at first nothing happens and I try harder...then poof!...I jump and I'm awake. I guess my mind thought I was awake, but my body had fallen asleep and they couldn't work together. In the second dream I was at a really dark and dirty doctor's office. I'm helping the doctor with his patients. All the patients are injured kids. They all have something different wrong with them. One's face is infected with some bacteria then one little baby is walking around like he's drunk and then he falls. The doctor says something about how this is the worst side to be on.

Many people think dreams have meaning. If you understand the meaning it helps you work out problems in real life. The objects, sounds and colors mean something deeper. Many believe you can even cure fears by dreams. I believe that they tell you what your subconscious is thinking. If you can remember more dreams and try to make sense of them you can really see what is really going on in your head.

Voting Day

Early this morning I exercised my right as a citizen and voted in the Gubernatorial Elections. Every election I’m always surprised at how they don’t check ID at town hall. Anyone could have gone in as me and voted on my behalf. All they have to know is my home address and my full name. Those were the only 2 things I was asked for. No one checked any ID. I actually didn’t remember my street name. I was rushing and reading everything when a cop out of no where asked what street I live on and I just went blank. I remembered after few seconds, but even this little incident didn’t concern him. He just let me walk in. I have only been voting since I moved to Millis so I’m not sure how other towns are, but if they are the same it is a little disturbing.

Anyway, I’m glad that all the ads will at least stop after today.

Plantmania

The other day I was walking into the office building and saw all the plants that are usually in our lobby in an area next to the dumpster. There were about 20-30 of them and most were about 4 feet tall. They were all healthy, really good looking plants. I asked the maintenance guy what was up with those plants. Get this…all those plants were being thrown away! Perfectly fine plants being thrown away…why?...well apparently our building has a contract with a ‘plant company’ that maintains all the plants in the building. Our building’s coordinator didn’t like the plants from them so she fired them and hired a new company. Therefore, all the old plants had to go. So, naturally, being the desi that I am, I grabbed not one, not 2, but 3 plants! I told my colleagues and they all took one. Some took them home and others kept them in their office. Even people who don’t know how to take care of plants or already have too many plants took one. Next day that area was empty…none of the plants had to be thrown…they were all taken by people.

So I learned 2 things from all this:

1) There are such things are ‘plant companies’.

2) All people are desi’s at heart when it comes to getting free stuff :)

SAW

If you are a SAW fan, you know (or will be happy to know) that Saw III comes out today. I've seen I and II and will see definitely see III. These are movies that you like to watch, but while you are watching you have to cover your eyes....at least I do. I like scary and horror movies so its no surprise that I like these movies too.

SAW is a has a lot of killing in it, but it doesn't have any guns or bombs or anything. It involves torturing people to death in some really gruesome ways. Can you imagine being a writer for these movies? You just sit around and think of some really horrible ways to die. I think I could be one of these writers. I have so many fears that coming up with a way to die and incorporating those fears would be easy.

I think around Halloween time a lot of these types of movies come out. It is one of the reasons I like this time of year. Any other good, scary movies out there?

Work your brian...

??????

I got these in an email and thought they were worth sharing. Try not to look at the answers until you are done.

First Question: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person.What position are you in?


Second question: If you overtake the last person, then you are...?


Third Question: Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20, now add another 1000, and now add 10. What is the total?


Fourth Question: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4.Nono
What is the name of the fifth daughter?


Bonus round: A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does he indicate what he wants?

*********************************************************
1st Answer: If you answered that you are first, you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

2nd Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person? I think you could be in first position

3nd Answer: Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100.If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!

4th Answer: Did you Answer Nunu? WRONG! Her name is Mary. Read the question again!

Bonus Answer: He just has to open his mouth and ask. It's really very simple.


I'm sure you didn't, but if you got any wrong, don’t feel bad. I got tricked on 2nd, 4th and the bonus round. Let me know how you did.

Diwali...not yet

My Indian calendar is telling me that Diwali is October 21st. That is this Saturday. Today is Thursday and I am already getting emails wishing me a Happy Diwali. Don't get me wrong, I love Diwali and its great to spread the wishes at this time of the year. But, its a little early, don't you think?

I guess since today is Dhun Teras many people start the celebrations today and totally get into the spirit by sending the Diwali emails. Even I am a little excited about doing the pooja tonight. It definitely gives you the feeling that wonderful times are ahead.

Here in US we are definitely missing out on the Diwali celebrations. Well, actually.... I don't know. Last time I celebrated Diwali in India I was 6 years old. Been to India many times, but never during Diwali. So I guess I am kind of lucky that I don't know what I'm missing. All I remember from my last Diwali in India is the fire crackers! Lots of them everywhere. All the shops are decorated and so many people stop by and visit that day and everyone is wearing nice clothes. And of course there is also the $$ :)

my seal 'n more

So, I went to create a seal for my site, as you can see, but I was kind of upset at the icon choices they had. This is the only female looking figure I could find. I was looking for a female action hero, but I guess I will have to settle for this. Not much action to it. If you still haven't created one and want to here is the link to it.

I think we are getting addicted to this show, we watched last 2 episodes. There are few things about it that are kinda weird, but I think they might have done that on purpose. I think its the freaky/gross stuff that we like best. The scene where the cheerleader wakes up and her insides are open...that looked pretty cool. The previews for the next show look good. The guy learns to speak English finally. If nothing else it definitely keeps you wondering what will happen next.



Ok, are you a bad speller like me? Well, here is your worst nightmare come true.

Happy 30th!!!

To mom & dad,

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!

Wishing you all the best.

Love you lots :D

Have a nice weekend....

Loooong weekend is almost here! I had to say that to rub it in Deesh's face :) I know I am so mean...

So what does the weekend hold for me? Well, usually only I have this holiday off and it is little boring. But, this year even hubby has it off! So, we are going to Peru! No, not that Peru...we are going to Peru, Vermont. We leaving from work little early and should reach by evening.

I watched the best show yesterday...Jeopardy!, 'Back to School Week'. It is like regular Jeopardy, but the players are all little kids age 10-12 years old. The categories and clues are a lot easier than regular. I was able to actually answer the clues. These kids are so smart though! They were getting more questions correct than me. Can you imagine being the parent of one of these kids? It will be on again tonight. Click on the link to find out when and where.

Back from his trip...

...and got me this.

Kudos 'n more

First of all major kudos for JAY for his great garba and dandiya performance on Saturday!! Not only did he do good garba and dandiya...he even dressed the part. Good job :) Just waiting for the pics now.

Next, a big Thank You for TULAN. Thanks for not going to CT and joining us instead. Having you there was the icing on the cake. I just hope that you didn't get into any trouble with your relatives in CT the next day.

Well, weekend is over and work week is in action. Already I have some good news and some bad news. Bad News: Premal is in Virgina for work leaving me alone. Good news: I will stay at my parents place and watch chik-flik shows with DEESH and have mom's cooking and punch dad while we eat.
