So ya I have not been exactly that busy that I have not been able to post anything. But still you know I have the right excuses. The job, the pregnancy, moving and settling into the new house. Talking about the moving, I think it is one of the toughest things on earth [and this is coming from a person who is going to be delivering a baby in few months]. P and I were like dead dogs at the end of the weekend. And then we had to unpack which is tougher. Thankfully I love the unpacking process which makes things easier. I am totally in love with our new place. It quite a bit shoots out our current budget, but love defies all logic as they say. I was away from fb for a while earlier this year but somehow long tube journeys make you go back to it again. Dont ask me why I cant read instead. I love reading but reading is making me so sleepy that I even refrain from newspapers on the tube these days. I read 2 of Haruki Murakami's books last month and am dying to read the next one. Hopefu...
I thought Lawyers were the most cursed professionals, but I was wrong, it is the real estate agents. 8(&(*£^(&(!*(*_)£!
KVR Bakery in Ashok Nagar make this delicious vegetable bun. I have a strong urge to eat that right now. Pregnant women sure have weird urges :-)
I have been away for long. Too many things have been happening and I am still in the process of getting my life back in control. Nothing bad though. Although it did make me realize that it is tough when all your prayers are answered as well. My new work place is great, I am just loving the role and everything associated with it. Felt a bit overwhelmed in the first month but now I am getting a hang of things. We are planning to move to a bigger apartment and the house search has begun. P usually does the preliminary search. This time we are not sure where we would like to move. London has very compact houses and they are all overpriced. And one of bedrooms always is as small as a store-room in India. I hate that. I wonder why they cant make bigger bedrooms. If we can manage it in city like Chennai, they sure should be able to do the same here. I watched Kahaani few weeks back and absolutely loved it. A very well scripted movie and entertaining throughout. Its been almost 2 years since I...
Am having the daal parathas P made for lunch today. Such joy. And they almost taste like the ones my mom makes :)
Dear Dow Chemicals, You have yet to compensate the victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. You have a moral and financial obligation towards the victims and their descendants. How the hell are you are sponsoring the London Olympics? And just because the original plant was bought over by another entity does not entitle the new entity to go scot free. Dear Indian Government, Why is that you are ready to take steps against a person/ entity/ group only when the whole world creates a hue and cry? Lakhs of Indians are still physically and mentally affected by the exposure to the gas leak on that fateful night of December 1984. Your own citizens. Today is the 26th of January, our Republic Day. But I feel no pride. The real pride lies when the Government and its people work towards the safety and welfare of its citizens. Dear Anderson, Still alive and kicking, really?

Tidda hua bored

Waiting for things is a very frustrating experience. I have been extremelly bored and been cleaning the house for lack of things to do. Something to keep me occupied. You know it used to take a lot to get me to tidy up the house. My sister, in fact, used to call me a 'Tidda'. For the benefit of those who dont know the story of the 'Tidda', it goes like this- Once there was a Tidda [grasshopper] who was very very lazy. During summer when other insects stored food for the approaching winter, the Tidda whiled away his time playing andd hopping around. Finally when winter came, the Tidda had nothing to eat and almost starved to death. Later his friends helped him with their own stored food. And the Tidda learnt his lesson. Anyway this name stuck on to me for a long time. If I think about it, I was indeed a Tidda back then. But now I think I have changed quite a bit. In fact sometimes I border on the lines of being a 'Monica'. Necessity is definitely the mother of al...
