Tiny feet tiny hands and a smile that melts all hearts

yep thts my baby for you !! all of 9 months and trying to stand by herself clinging to anything from sofa to our stairs .. cant believe it .. Today I made peas pulao; kathrikai curry (egg plant curry) and vendakai sambar ( okra sambar) .. and listening to my fav hindi songs ... been a while since I heard any mohd rafi and kishore kumar songs .. Of late I have been listening to tamil .. have to catch up with the hindi side of me also LOL

Yday was her first play date with her same aged friend (they live in the opposite house from us) It was fun .. I went in the afternoon and chit-chatted with her while the kids played around .. and did I mention, I have a baby scrap book where I have jotted down all of her firsts and captured all kodak-moments :))

The last 6 months have been very socially active .. been meeting friends at parties or potlucks or bday parties. The latest one was a park get together organized by desis living in our community .. was lot of fun indeed

Blogging is nice actually. Mine may not be the most thought provoking blog in the world, but it is mine to cherish .. helps keep memories and best of all ... helps me relive sweet memories when I read it and go .. wow what was I thinkinggg :-)

What's on my mind now

How hard can job hunt be ? Two simple words, but a long process behind it. As on July 2010, the unemployment rate in USA stands at 9.5%, including 14.6 Million unemployed persons. ( source - US Census Bureau) Where are the jobs ? Are unpaid internships even worth the time and effort ? Especially in Houston - spending all that money on filling your gas tank, and daycare, in pursuing an unpaid internship while in school ? I don't know ! Hi-Tech thieves selling children's social security numbers long before the little one's even have a bank account ! How horrific ..

Dohas - 2 line hindi sayings

I read DOHAS in hindi class in my school days .. I enjoyed them because they taught me the inner meaning inside those words, and they way my teacher used to tell it was the highlight. Few Kabir Dohas that I remember really well (taken from the web) - 1. Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub [Tomorrow's work do today, today's work now if the moment is lost, the work be done how] 2. Bada Hua To Kya Hua, Jaise Ped Khajoor Panthi Ko Chaya Nahin, Phal Laage Atidoor [In vain is the eminence, just like a date tree No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach] Being big, important, powerful, wealthy is of no consequence. It is like a tall date tree whose fruit is out of reach, and which does not give any shade to the traveler. 3. Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Tau Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye [In anguish everyone prays to Him, in joy does n...

This is so true .. that we remember moments. Moments that stay in our hearts always .. moments that we look back at and feel our hearts fill with emotions -- it was one such evening today. Our friends had dropped buy for tea and I served them upma that I made for tiffin and chai with salt crackers. In my earlier blog, I mentioned about our wedding CD. Well, today we saw our reception CD. I must confess, it was a reception very well planned by my parents and in-laws. Close to a 1000 people attended to bless us. I realise its full value now that I live 10's of 1000's of miles away from my home country. It reminded me of my college class mates, work collegues, friends who grew up with me in my neighborhood and most importantly my entire family. Ladies adorned with jewels and men folk striking casual conversations made the atmosphere festive. There we were on the dias, center of attention that evening .. dressed in a orange-gold silk sari with gold ornaments standing beside my hand...
