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...

Happy Diwali

I've been following sister BK Shivani's pravachan for sometime now. A friend of mine had recommended them to me when I was struggling with some situations. I can connect to many of the topics she speaks about. One such topic that keeps recurring is this - ' Accept others as they are ' Obviously this is easier said than done, and not something that can happen overnight. But on sincerely practicing, it truly can bring one peace because you do away with expectations and hence disappointments - which are the key to discontentment in life. So, this Diwali let's give everyone on our list this one gift - I ACCEPT YOU AS YOU ARE.

My take on 'Taare zameeen par'

I finally watched the movie yesterday and was quite moved by it. It's very encouraging that not only more and more socially responsible movies are being made in India, but also that the audience is welcoming them. The boy's performance was superb, can't say the same about Aamir . To me the let down in the movie was that the situation was played down quite a bit, in a way too filmy. Also, at the end, the parents only seemed to care that the kid was finally 'normal', without understanding the kid's nature, his agony or even how the kid got those 'progress' reports. That was a bit too commercial for me. But that's just my opinion. Hope these kinds of movies have some positive impact on the society.
