Monali and Nayan were here this past long weekend and we had loads of fun! It was good seeing her after such a long time. It brought back some nice memories of Pune. When we used to hang out together... and see now, we both are married and settled in our own respective worlds! Isn't this amazing... looking back it feels, how quickly the time flew... phew!
They were here on Friday. They reached around 11:30 p.m. Thanks to Monali for changing the GPS setting :). It's hilarious how she my mistake set the GPS to ignore toll roads and hence took them hourrrrrs to arrive! Keeping that in mind, they surely arrived in time LOL!
They went to Disney theme park on Saturday and on Sunday we all went to Clearwater beach. Geez... the traffic was terrible!! Above all the parking!! I literally had to bribe (ofcourse through my talks) to let us in the parking lot... We started from home around 11 and got there at 3 p.m.! Namrata and Mayur were waiting for us on the beach. They came back to meet us from Sarasota. They had gone to Sarasota to celebrate their marriage anniversary. We spent almost 3-4 hrs in water - playing games, flew kites, had fun in the water! Talking about water- Monali and I almost got drowned in the chulu bhar paani [phrase for drowning in shallow water]
Overall, beach trip was fun !! I guess we all enjoyed. We met Vibha, Shantanu, and Meera on our way back and ate dinner in Tampa. Driving back we stopped over to show Monali and Nayan, Disney Downtown. Reached home around 12:30 a.m.
Next morning I prepared some bhatura's with channas' for the brunch!! Must tell ya all... they were yum yum!! I still can taste it :). After having heavy lunch, Monali and Nayan left for Atlanta and I believe they reached home around 9ish.
Thanks to Monali and Nayan for making our long weekend a special one!!!

Where I have been hiding?
Not in my closet at least! haha.
Well lot of stuff as usual kept us both occupied and busy. I know I know, I am not running for a country or in charge of some finance department, but to be honest- doing work, balancing it off with home, traveling, meeting friends, celebrating birthdays...does take a lot of your time and that is no less than running for President eh? Then talking about blog, you need to be in a mood, an inclination to divulge your inner thought and mind.. come on! it ain't no joke!
But don't you worry my dearest Tweety Blog- I won't make you feel left out. Here is what was going on at my side of town. hmmm where shall i start from... well lets start from the last week...
Last week (March 1st week)- or say last weekend, we went down to Daytona Beach to see Bike Week. Well the weather was bit chilly and we tried to take out some time off to see those gorgeous 3 B's... aka...bike, bikers (haha) and beach! Another reason for us to visit Daytona was to meet up with Pooja, who just came back from her 4/5 month long India trip. And hence we had a group get together, where we met with Namrata & Mayur and Manish, Ayesha & Pooja. While we were in town, we also drove down to see Manish's newly built home. Wow... that was one BIG house, running on a 4 acre land. Though the occupied area is like 25% (1 acre approx), but I still am wondering how are they going to live in such a huge house. It would scare me off if it would have been me! Sachi! And hats off to Manish who put his mind, soul and time in building his own home with his own hands! Can you believe it!! It's amazing and one nice achievement Manish!
And week before... that...
Now that is quite important week, cause it was my Birthday.... Yay!! I got soooo many wishes from around that world,that made me realize that I am still important and loved by so many people. And above all, I received WII
from Amit. Hurray! Thank you Amit.. that was one sweet gift... :), that will be played almost everyday! And also, Mama and Papa sent me such a nice Indian outfit that is so adorable. I wore it when we went to Atlanta the same week.
Now talking about Atlanta trip... well that was one long journey. Moto behind going to Atlanta was to meet up my friends Preeti and Monali. Preeti was celebrating her son, Daksh's first birthday and Monali recently got married to Nayan and moved from India like a month back. So it was the apt moment and we decided to plan this trip, which absolutely delightful. Well delightful cause I got to meet up with my friends after yyyyyyyyyyyyears! Its so nice to catch up after long. But since it was just a weekend affair (i.e. short duration trip), we hardly got time to chitchat like old times.... still something is better than nothing will help us sum up this trip on a better note :).
And the most important factor I wasn't regular on blog was that I was missing everyone back home... :( Well, coz - my brother, Varun (my brother) and Shalini bhabhi are in India for a month. And I will miss seeing Tanisha (their daughter and my neice). And then my Mamaji's daughte, Doll didi got married recently. I so wanted to be a part of her weddding but thats how distances bring in the constraint.. no!
hmmmm... for now i don't remember any other important events that might have happened in like last two months. And if I do remember something, I will surely come back and scribble it here.
