Disney World, a recap

I have two words to sum up our trip to Disneyworld, Orlando - 'Fabulous' and 'Exciting'. It was an absolutely worth fun trip to take; and the most satisfying part for me was the fact that I got to do a trip with my parents in the US.

Disney world has everything well planned to make the entire 9 yard experience so gratifying. The Magic kingdom never lets us down, I become a kid myself when I see these rides. I should compliment Archu on being very well behaved; afterall she had her grandparents coaxing and cajoling her throughout their trip. I couldn't ask for more :-)

While the magic kingdom would have been a kids dream come true, the EPCOT served both kids and adults equally. I am always in awe when I think about the planning, design and technology that would have been invested to build these parks. Hats off to them !

Once again, getting back to Houston from a great trip can prove to be a bit challenging to begin with, but as always, routine takes over. We are very happy to back to our home sweet home. As for amma and appa, they took back happy photographs and memories of the trip to Seattle. And for me - I was down with cough and cold (the usuals). I was looking forward to decorating the venue for a Namadwaar event - Carnatic concernt by the Bhat sisters, followed by the Bhagavata saptaha at Namadwaar.

2012 has zoomed past us already ?

Discovering the 'Roots'

I remember being fascinated by a TV commercial for a website called Ancestry.com. It was a new concept, in 2005 perhaps. I love how in the US, they trace the roots with the Social Security Number and form the family tree. Hailing from India, a country that has existed and birthed generations much earlier that the US; I often wish that our ancestors had some sort of tracking mechanism. I'm glad that the PAN number concept has sprung up in recent times, but nevertheless. How many of us can pin point where we came from? I would love to know though. Many of us have moved cities. Many of us have parents that made the move earlier on in their careers. I know Indians in the US who were born here because their great grand parents moved here in 1950s. I am curious to know more about my Ancestory. We don't have any tracking mechanism such as Social Security numbers, but it would be nice if I knew the profession the men folk were involved in, where did the move to, what was their

Scars of time

Situations we wish never happened in the first place, certain periods of time that seemed to pass very slow, like eternity but that will also pass. But there is always a reminder lingering in the mind, i think it is subconcious, and is there to stay in you for as long as you live.

Thoughts ..

Last couple of weeks have been busy settling down at work. So far so good, work is challenging and interesting, which is how I like it to be. Downtown Houston is connected by a network of underground tunnels, its a sight to see for any visitor, filled with eateries and hangouts. It's fun to work in those high rises downtown, MINUS the bumper to bumper traffic. I have a chronic cold that has been persistent for a two months now. It is starting to irritate me, but my guess is that Archu brings it from her daycare to me. Maybe its time to see the doc. Thought for today: If there is nothing good to say, say nothing at all.
