Recently I have seen so many cases of parents opposing love marriages.
It is not just puppy love, or school love.
it is that kind of matured love people develope out of respect, and care. That kind of love people develope when they are 24 years old. I say arent they working and experiencing lots of politics, and problems, and different kinds of people to decide which person will heppily live with them life long?

I dont understand, when is the right time to decide our life...

I just came back from my India trip. It was a short trip, for about 20 days. Within this short time, we had to go to trichy, chennai, and bangalore, excluding few temple visits. It was hectic enough for us. So we decided our 6 month old Sanjay would stay at home and not burn in agni natchatram which ironically ended on may 28th. The day we returned to USA.

Well, this trip has taught me a lot. quite particularly, to decipher people's reactions and body language. I am not joking people....

I was on phone call with my school best friend, now in Germany. It has been pretty long time since we had a decent chat either over mail or on phone. She is my first best friend, and I dint want to lose her in a race against time and distance. As we were talking somehow I brought up the subject of her parents not sending invitation for her marriage to my parents. I was not planning to, the words just came out. I was expecting the regular apologies, but in addition to that I got the information...

Two of my class mates from Undergrad made a Chicago visit and informed they would be paying a visit to my house. My friend told me there would be three persons coming in. So I woke up early morning, 4 AM, well pretty early because she told me they would be coming by 12 pm, and prepared lunch comprising about five items. It was a pretty big task for me, mom of 4 month old to prepare lunch, clean the house and take care of my son. You might think what is the big deal, we do it all the time. Well,...

When my son Sanjay was 3 months old, I got a call from my friend. She has a 10 year old daughter and a 4 yr old son. She was talking to me about her delivery, "You know, I had C section and it used to pain a lot yada yada yada "
Wait a minute... USED to pain a lot? It STILL pains a lot lady. Please step forward to 2008 please.
The reason I dint tell her that my delivery was also C section is simple.
She dint ask.
I dint tell.
If she had paused a moment and...

Yesterday evening, the television emergency news announced snow storm by 8 pm. But before that I decided to go to gym at my apartment office building, which is 10 minutes walk from my house.

As I opened my apartment door, i realised, the weather is not going to be smooth. So I was standing at the doorsteps in a dilemma whether to go gym or not. But then I saw the rent cheque in my hand. Today is the last day to give rent for next month.

So I took a deep breath, and walked...

The day he was born, well, not exactly that day, just two days after he was born, the nursery at the hospital made the hearing test and decided to tell us the result, only when we discharged 4 days after the delivery. How clever of them.

So having passed only one ear, which one is still fuzzy for me, he had to take another test within the first three months, because apparently it is easier to detect and rectify before three months.

But it is not what the ENT specialist...

When my kid was during his first few days on earth, he made me happy by sleeping for continuously 4 hours at night. When my friend-moms told me, its good that he sleeps for such a long time, I told my mom, WOW SANJAY SLEEPS FOR 4 HOURS, WHEN OTHER KIDS HIS AGE SLEPT ONLY FOR 2 HOURS or less, and disturbed the mom's sleep. The next day onwards, he woke up every 2 hours, and started bothering me.


It started there, and went on and on.

I was happy that he was...
