Tanisha's first birthday

Happy Birthday our little darling, Tanisha. Though we haven't met as of today but soon, your bua & fufu will meet you. We've heard you are cheerful and smiling and on this special day we wish that your life is full of happiness, health and prosperity. Wish you good luck our sweetheart! I am dying to meet you.

Five years from now...

The world as we know it is in for some dramatic and devastating changes. Explore the possibilities, see what other believe. Some say the Calendar is going to end on this date.. that is on Dec 21, 2012.

Well how I found out? Simple, I've read it in my school books about how the day is relatively small on Dec 21. And just to make sure if Dec 21 is the day, I went online and saw what? Not information of the day being small but this day after five years the world is going to end. Curious? Read for yourself!.

Our dream car!

Finally the zoom zoom zoom is here! Yay, we got our new car home delivered this Monday afternoon. It's classy, it's gorgeous, it's sharp, and it's Black in color. The model we have got is Mazda CX 9. Motor Trend announced this car as the 2008 Sport/Utility of the Year. Some call it SUV [Sports Utility Vehicle] and some CUV [Cross over Vehicle].

Getting a new car can be one hellva job! Seriously, it’s been almost 2 months and over since we started the car hunting exercise. And we know how much energy we have drained into short listing cars, going through consumer reports, going to various dealers, trying to find out if the specific model matches the specs we are looking at. Hats off to Amit for working on this day and night, sending faxes to the dealers, calling them and doing the research, just to find out the dream car of ours!

In the end, all I can say is that it was worth it :).



Now that it's here, we took her (I guess I would call her she :)), on road first time yesterday. And her first visit was to the temple. We offered our prayers and seeked blessing for the new vehicle. I will post pictures soon of the ceremony. Amit is quite cautious while driving this new car as its bigger, heavy and new! And we both are too nervous and vigilant to make our car have a single dust particle. Wow! can you imagine how possessive we can be for our new vehicle!

We are now hoping to take this beauty for a long drive and for that we have to plan a long trip soon. I am hoping to accumulate some of my vacation time to zoom zoom zoom on our dream car soon!

Helping Hands for Indians..

If you have a function/party at your home/office and if there is excess food available at the end, please don't hesitate to call 1098 (only in India) - child helpline. They will come and collect the food. Please circulate this message which can help feed many children.

India's car market

Check this out. I was browsing through one of the online Florida newspapers and I came across a video link which analyzes India car market.

It's quite interesting. Watch the video by clicking here.

Me is Back!

Yay! I am back, not only to blogging but also back from vacation. I was in India this November and reached back Dec 1, 2007. Last two months went like crazy!

October - was an eventful month with activities followed by one after another. Mostly it was not a good month. And thats why I was not too active to the blogging space. Amit met with an accident starting of October (touch wood he wasn't hurt), our car got totaled and then we were hunting for a new car (and still are...)and one of our immediate neighbors expired.

Well I don't want to think about the events in October cause that makes me sad and bring back some sad memories.

But yes, soon after all those uneventful happenings, we went to India. We were planning since long and finally achieved our dream. I will write more in detail about what all I did. I must admit, I am loaded with plenty of stories and i will definitely write back soon!!!
