दिल की बातें, सीधे से

Today morning I woke up and started unpacking. I emptied my purse and the backpack which doubled as diaper bag for my 1 year old- It poured out some white sand. This sand had travelled with me from the Islands of Bahamas. I felt the sand and lingered at the moments I spent in Paradise Island. No wonder those are considered the "World's best Beaches". Friends believe me! If you have not seen Caribbean, you have not seen ocean. It was just another evening when my husband got home, tired of a day long working day (the NY working day – especially with office on Wall Street) and suggested that we take a vacation. I had no clue, he would suggest Bahamas. He spoke to another friend of his who (Equally tired and frustrated with long day) agreed to come with us right away. We planned for almost a month for the trip. It started with a trip to library and getting books on places to see at Bahamas. Well all I did was looking at pictures and some basic facts about the country. We took...

It is a "Not-so-New" Hindi movie, that I watched night before last night. Love aaj Kal, starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone. My boys (yes both of them) love the songs form the movie, they were big hits at the New year's Eve Party and still soothes my cranky one year old in the car. The movie has a fresh feel to it and the humor was also likeable. The way 2 stories are woven together from 2 generations is also something new. I liked everything about the movie except how they treat the bond of marriage. The bride(Deepika) realizes after 3-4 days of marriage (may be on her honeymoon) that she has made a wrong decision in not marrying Saif but somebody else and decides to separate and wait for him till he realizes his love for Deepika and return. That was ridiculous to me. They call the marriage off as f it was another part of courtship. After 2 years of dating you marry someone just to call it off because you feel like talking/seeing your Ex boyfriend who has moved (...

Yes I do have a lot to say. Today morning on facebook I set my status that "I can not afford to lose a fraction of second" and many of my really busy , some working well-wishers got alarmed. Flashback, It was a fine morning yesterday as it is today. After tending to baby, dropping off my 6 year oldto school with lunch (homemade obviously) ,preparing fresh soup for myself, talking to my mom in India for good 30 minutes+, arrange for dinner plan and some laundry I still had some time to call a friend of mine. She also has a baby who was not well and I wished to inquire about her health. After few minutes I invited her to come and share some soup with me for lunch, she reminded me that she is quite busy and has a lot to take care of. And added "How come I have so much time" (to call her or other friends of mine and ...well I tried to explain and finally gave up thinking - I don't need to explain. Well in time to pick up my son and his piano lesson - I picked up ano...

Can not believe it is already a year, and my baby is celebrating his first birthday already. Past few weeks had been harsh weatherwise. While Chile and Haiti shook with earthquakes - It never stopped snowing on East Coast USA. Finally the sun is out and we are hoping for spring. Basant...Basant aata nahi, bulaya jaata hai.
