Touching base

R2I has taken a shape of it's own and it's driving us now and not the other way around. We have the final date set in stone : May 14th it is. It twists my stomach to even imagine what it's going to feel like, to just say Good bye to the land that's been home for 13 years. Anyway, not the time to get emotional. The shipping date is about 2 weeks away, so we're scrambling and running around, buying stuff. So many to do lists and so little time...... Will try to post again soon.

choxbox: That's cool! It seems to be a trend now.

Vidya : I totally agree with what you said, but frankly, walking the walk is very difficult. I mean, if our mind was always set on going back, things would have been much easier (I presume) but since it was a change of mind in the last few years, it's very difficult to cope with the fact that we are indeed saying GoodBye forever. Added to that the physical task of moving is a monster. We feel so drained out that every now and then we ask ourselves, why on earth are we doing it? Ofcourse we always find the answer and move on to the next task on the list :)

I totally agree with the "walking the walk" part. We are moving locally and its a lot of things to take care. I can (only) imagine how daunting it is to move with kids, esp for good.
But just want to reiterate that the intent was to make you see the brighter side of the deal and nothing else.
I wish and hope that you will have only nice things to post when you blog from India.

R2I update

We finally got our USC interview letter on Friday. DH and I have it scheduled for the same time on the 12th of Dec. So, that's one thing that can be checked off very soon. The house is still on the market with practiclaly no showings. If nothing works out in the next month or so, we might take it off the market and put it back on in March. DH and I talked over the weekend about plan B, incase the house doesn't get sold by May. Nothing to panick yet. My dad has been looking into some schools in Hyd and will be getting the applications in Nov-dec timeframe, so, he's on top of it. It's a luxury to offload some of our responsibility to others in the family. All this time, DH and I used to take care of every single thing in life, from schools to biils to vacations, what else could you do, right! Ofcourse it's a very fulfilling experience, but I think we'll enjoy taking help from the family when we move back. More later...

Kudos to FB

Maybe it's a couple of years too late, but I'm totally realizing the power of SNSs. I'm finding sooooo many of my long-last friends and it's a pleasure to walk down the memory lane with them. Just the concept of networking is so mind-blowing. I never paid much attention to the 6 degrees of separation phenomenon but it's coming true in the form of my Facebook network. No offence to orkut (for which I was infact an official advocate a year ago :) or any other SNS, but the winner takes it all.

One step for space X and a giant leap for our future generation

What a momentous day! Elon Musk has once again persevered, proved his mettle. Since I've recently finished reading his biography, my respect for him has just increased that much. Like Steve Jobs said - "people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." All the innovations he's made - the all electric car, tapping solar energy, economic space travel - are inching towards the sustainability of our future generations. I feel pity when I see people amassing wealth, properties for their children and grand children, while hoarding plastic bags from vendors, trashing plastic bottles, washing their precious cars in flowing water jets, wasting food....plundering the earth and hence the very basis of the existence of these generations. Cannot fathom the insensitivity of these people. More on this ranting later.
