Year 2018!!!

I hear you... Cliche!!! That I am. This year has been so life altering!!! Got my visa to this beautiful place. This was  my long waited wish. Planned and nagged my parents to move to the new house though I knew I would pack myself out of there in few months Packed my entire life into 4 suitcases with Dewy and moved to this foreign place (Crazy I am) Cried my first day here at onsite (no TV, no internet and snow white ground and no people in near vicinity - Lets just say these are the reasons) Scared to death of managing Dewy alone,still ploughed through with Dewy being my strongest pillar. Spent 2 months, begging others to help me drive around. People who know me would know that it is most painful thing for me to do. Got a drivers license and bought a car!!! Simple pleasures. Our lives moves on and comes summer vacation And that too 3 months. 9 weeks of running around office, summer camp and the need to be on time to the Summer Camp!! Duh!! I actually lost weight. Than...

Thanksgiving!!!

Haha.. So pretentious I am!!! Just too predictable!! But can't just leave this festival. If I read the books (I do .. I still do) this goes back to saying thanks for the good harvest and pray for the preceding year. Typically our pongal. And families; use this time to come together, meet, eat and thank for the wonderful year they had. What do we do!! Shop!! Shop!! Shop!! Till you drop dead. It was worth seeing. Us ( you know who I am referring to) stand hours together in queue in this frosty cold to shop. To get best deals. And this kinda looked liked our Aadi sale minus the cold and waiting in queue. And just so you know I did too. 😀 Lets just say to get first hand information about this infamous black Friday shopping. Few of our typical stuff I could see. 1) There was a guy standing in the queue probably 3 places behind me. He was getting calls continously. And the discussion will go like this. "Haan Bhai. Am in queue. One more camera. Okay good." and th...

At times it is easier back there

There is no rhyme and reason for this post.  A weird thing happened today.  Me and Dewy were coming back from Summer camp and we were in metro. A black lady suddenly started shouting at us. We were few seats away from her and we had literally no connection to her.  We just didnt know why she was shouting. We got down at our stop and the lady got down as well. And I walked to the bus stop to board our bus home.  And she left once I  started walking. I didn't understand a single thing she said which left me wondering why was she shouting.🤔🤔 I couldn't ask her back why she is shouting at us, I didnt have guts to stand and ask her back 👊 which is what I would have done if I am in my motherland. Sometimes being away from your ones gives you a sense of insecurity and all I could think at that time was Dewy's safety. Probably when I look back this post after a year or two I might think that I chickened out from a fight. Its an experience a...
