so..my life has been so full of festivals that now I lost touch with reality. Things just started to hit me and they hit me hard that I'm surprised I didn't fall flat on my face. Before I go on this senseless rant , here is what's been happening!
October was some month..full of festivals of knowledge (aka exams according to one of my profs.) which made me miss some of the real festivals and friends. Yea, I missed all the important festivals coz I had something the next day. On the same note, I lost touch with all , I mean ALL , my friends and family. I feel so disconnected with my friends, don't know what's happening in their lives and they have no idea about mine. The distance had widened and I don't know how to close the gap now. Not that I didn't feel it, but it took a friend to slap the fact on my face and say "hey wassup with ya, come back to reality". You know things don't end there, it's followed by a whole slue of wrong impressions, false opinions! ahh well, in short all the uncomfortable situations that follow.
On a similar but hopefully less awkward note is family. I stopped updating blog , so its like I have disappeared from the face of the earth. Not really but literally! Two reminders , nice ones, to update my blog came along in less than 1/2 hour , so u know how bad things have been!
Its a new month and I hope to begin it fresh, make efforts to reach back to people I love, I care about. I have to send the message across that I care for them, I miss them, I don't mean to ignore and all my friends and family mean a lot to me. Wish me luck since I will need it all.
btw...Happy Diwali to all...

updates of kitchen
Alright, here I start my consolidation of foods section.
weekend was good, my cousin was here from India and he was leaving back on saturday, so I told him I would give him food for flight. I don't know what he thought about it, but I gave him food anyway. I know how bad food in flight can be and to top it off, sitting in the same place for 8+8 hours isn't fun at all.
Since I was eating out from the day i wrote about using food at home, I really didn't get around to cooking till yesterday.
Thai Red Curry - with Thai Red curry paste, coconut milk and some stir fried asian vegetables and tofu.Sorry, no picture coz I finished my lunch and emptied the box.
aha...How can I not mention poha ( beaten rice). I never realized (or may be I did but still bought another packet) I had a big packet of "thin" poha. I remember I messed up atukula upma from it ,so I guess I decided I will buy another packet of it. OKie the issue now is, how do I use the whole 2 packets!!!!!!!Especially when I made a box full of snack and still have big box of it waiting .
sorry , no pics again, will post 'em as soon as I get home.
aaahh....boss is here so more later
bubbye

Krazy in Kitchen
So, Summer hasn't been as lazy as I imagined I would make it. Well, I wont' complain coz atleast I'm not bored to death. Few things in life that keep me busy seem to be :
work - hmm, I have never worked full time aka 40hrs/week in life so far. So it's a new experience. I would have liked it if my work was little closer to home but again close to home I will not get such a corporate. Its an experiment and it helped me sort out what I want to seek when I'm ready to step into the work world.
Home - that's always there (I can see ppl rolling their eyes ;) ) yeah yeah home keeps us all busy. I have no kids but things I have to do without them around is enough to driveme nuts. My plants are the ones bearing the brunt. I so conveiently turn a blind eye to them especially when I tired after work. I should take better care of them, afterall they are my love.
ahh well, how can I forget husband. Ok ok he is not demanding in general but I will not say anymore.
In the middle of all the choas, I suddenly realized I had to do some cleaning of the house and what I found was I had tons of food. Food I always wanted to make but never got around to making.Everything that caught my fancy landed in my pantry.Yeah seriously I need to clean it up before they hit their expiry dats. So I made a pact with D that I'm not buying groceries before I empty my cabinets. I will start now - first with lists of stuff that is in my cabinet and next what I made out of it.
THE LIST --- (will be updating as I dig for more)
so today the 24th day of june in 2008 I found ---------->>>>>>ahem ahem
pasta salad box (1)
black beans cans (4?)
garbanzo beans cans (4?)
queso (1 ) ½ box – started eating it!!!

gulab jamun mix (1 box)
maggi chow mein noodles (3?)
maggi masala noodles (1 big pack)
frozen chow mein (8 packets)
starbucks cold coffee (6 bottles)
yogurt single packs (10 boxes) 8 boxes

breathing...
I can breath now ...in this world of super high stress as a combinations of school and work I got my peace. I'm done with another yr of school...such relief after all that freaking exams. I'm super excited too... the most talked about, emotion filled reunion is about to happen..yes Im not dreaming, I get to meet my girlfriends - a lifeline I hang on to for eveything from sharing good news to fighting about petty things.
Its magic- of the summer, of life , of longing.I can't wait for another month, but I have to and I have things to keep me busy over this month- looking forward to everything.

Reunion
An idea - proposal - discomfort - lost tempers- apologies - teases --- this is how the plannign for a reunion is going.
This is the story of 10 friends who were there for each other not more than 4 years back and now have to think a million times to meet. Yes, we are all caught up with life, responsibilites have come upon us and we accepted them without a second thought. Now at the thought of meeting up , all the problem have stirred up. The realities of life surfaced. We are angry, rude and hurt each other. But I'm sure at the end of the day we will stand up for each other. That's what friends are for !
Look back to those days when we sat in the college canteen and talked over samosas and coke. Imagines how life would be, where we would all be 10 yearsfrom then. $ years have passed since then and we are a little less than half way to know where we will be at the end of those years.
I only hope we continue to connect to each other inspite of bumpy roller coaster ride called life!

Marriages are made in ........
Where are they made. any ideas? What about those who declare love and life together but life has something different in store for them. Some feeling,which I buried so deep because I decided I don't have to (rather will not ) think about them in future,have resurfaced now. How couldn't they when someone I care for is probably going through a though phase but does't want me or anyone else to know.Let's call them S and B.I know for a fact that they loved each other in the more true sense.I saw everything in their relationship which I hope to see in any healthy relationship - affection,care,responsibility,passion (with a P)and everything other thing I can possibly think of. But now I'm at loss when I think what went wrong. It is just sheer human nature to betray or it is just that sense of responsibility that backfired!
When I think of the two people in question I wonder...what are they thinking .Is B happy , is S regretting not being in that someone else's place. Is B being honest to the new person in life, willing to give her whatever is left of him after S moved out!!! And finally , why are they doing this to each other when (I think) they had a chance to pave their lives. Well...any answers ...any answers to where marriages are decided and why...
or am I trying to hold on to the past in vain
