Saluting our people

Inspite of all the vague speculations of violence and chaos by our politicians and media, the public has shown it's stance. I think the atrocities we have witnessed in the past decade have matured us as humans, to be patient, resilient and to respect life. Like he says in Angels and Demons, it's horror that unites people and hope that keeps them going. My heartfelt tributes to our citizens.

MERA BHARAT MAHAAN.

On a lighter note, we watched the movie District 9 last night. Either we are getting too old to appreciate such movies or the ratings are just hyped up. It was so gory, we had to pause to eat our dinner. Really, I see nothing special about this movie, nothing worth commenting about. Technically it might have been a challenge to have so many aliens running around humans, but it was a huge disappointment delivered by the Father of the Rings.

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...

A mid summer quencher

Under grey skies speckled with a slight drizzle, weaving through the tree lined apartment buildings, watching street vendors pushing their colorful fresh vegetable carts through and the occasional aunty and uncle sipping coffee in the balcony with newapapers in their hands - loved the morning auto ride in the city. Thirsty Hyderabad, in the middle of it's sweltering summer seems to have gotten a good drink last night.

The Book of Secrets

Tharini had tagged me to write about a material object which holds lots of memories and here it goes.... My husband had gifted me this CD on our 2 nd anniversary and right the next day we'd moved into an 8 th floor apartment with a sweeping view. There we used to listen to this CD almost every evening, sitting in the balcony. Anytime I pop in this CD, it magically transports me to that place. I can see the apartment floating in front of my eyes, the layout, the view, the roses we had in the balcony, the conversations we used to have.... everything. I remember even the distinct smell of our stinky dishwasher ;) Anyway, it's one of my favorite CDs to this day. I particularly like the second song : 'The Mummers' dance'.
