'Under the Weather'

Bad timing, is what I label my cold symptoms this time around. We are packing off to a dream vacation to Hawaii in a day's time, and now both my baby and I are under the weather (meaning feeling sick).

I get hit with a cold really bad, twice a year, for sure. Every Aprilish and Novemberish is when I know I am going to fall sick. Weather usually changes in this time in Houston, from either freaking hot to chilly windy; or from chilly cold to warm. Somehow my body knows - first comes a sore throat with pain, then comes a runny nose, then comes the bad evil - the stuffed nose with cough. And not to forget the other add-ons (tired, lazy, sleepy, dull).

While I get through these symptoms, the excitement absolutely remains as our countdown to Hawaii trip has begun. Archu has decided all the toys that will board the flight along with us LOL ! Who can avoid the last minute packing ? It happens all the time :-)

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 ..

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.

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 ...
