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.

Hanuman Jayanti

This week is so eventful that I am gonna spend the whole week wishing my pals and I wish you do too ! It started with April 1 which is not just April Fool’s day but Ashu’s birthday as well. So I called him to wish him and gosh what a scootful surprise! He was in Boston reported flinging around taking a tour with his wifey and wonderful kids calling it a getaway. Another pleasant surprise that came my way was that Akhil got his H1b approved and he would be hitting the land of opportunities next week. Not sure, when I will get a chance to meet him but the feeling of another brother around gives good feeling.

Now talking about some festivity. Amit and I are both geared up for a Hanuman Jayanti; This is a day when we celebrate Hanuman ji’s birthday. To celebrate the occasion we both plan to visit the temple and pay our wishes to the holy God. You know, I wish there were more such days ! No kidding. I know there’s a heady mix of culture and faith, but the act of wishing and the fun of sharing and celebrating is what keeps me going in this firangi desh!
