Missing life

2008-11-04T08:35:00.002-05:00

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

2008-06-30T14:06:00.003-05:00

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

Krazy in Kitchen

2008-06-25T07:40:00.005-05:00

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!!!
salsa combinations (3)
colorful pasta ( I think its 1 n 1/2 lbs??)
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
updated June 30, 2008
coconut milk (had 3 but now have 2 cans)
alfredo sause (2 pint bottles)
frozen asian stir fry vegetables (3/4 bag)
coconut water (1 can)
frozen veggie pizza (1 big + 1 small)
uttapam mix 1 box
rawa dosa mix 1 box
appadams 1 packet
thin poha (1 bag)
thick poha ( 1 bag)
rice paper (1 box)
small cabbage (3/4 piece)
fruits (# 4- mixed)

Alright this is what I remember on top of my head. I'm sure this will grow long and I will strike them off as I use 'em.

Ahem ahem...my time starts now...

P.S. The question marks are coz I can't remember how many are there exactly. This is what happens when I blog from work! ;)

breathing...

2008-05-15T10:20:00.002-05:00

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

2008-03-14T08:10:00.003-05:00

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!

Everything a teenage girl should know !!!!!

2008-03-14T07:57:00.002-05:00

Well, this is'nt a post on the topic but a search for a book titled above. Has everyone ever heard or read that book. I remember my neighbour gave that to me when I was 16 but then it passed on and never came back. My gang of cousins who read this...have u seen this with anyone in the gang!!

Marriages are made in ........

2008-02-08T16:43:00.000-05:00

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

Independence Day

2007-08-14T15:29:00.000-05:00

Happy independence Day!! To all my fellow Indian in desh and abroad. 60yrs since we were free and don't you think we have come a long way from there.

Let me tell you guys something that happened to me today. I work in a pharmacy close to where I live as an Intern. Nothing special about work today, it was just another day of patients and prescriptions. Now, by afternoon comes this old lady, let's call her JM , to pick up her medications. After the customary greetings, she asks me if I'm Indian. Im surprised that she actually recognised me to be "Indian" rather than fumble around with options like "are u hispanic" and crap!On confirmations she goes straight at the questions I bet was in her mind for a couple of days now. She tells me about an Indian couple who live next door and how they hanged "some wriggley thing" and a "face" on the front door. She is curious to know what that is for , but couldn't get herself to ask them. So, I guess Im the next Indian girl she met so she just blurt it out. I tell her that the wriggley thing is a ethnic decorative item which we usually keep on the front door to signify a festival or religious occasion in the house and the face is ward of all the evil. At his point she goes like...."Ahhhh!! So that thing is to welcome someone into the house and the face to keep away nasty things !! i get it ..I get it" I can no longer control my laughter but I manage to tell her that she got a hang of what they are. Now she thinks she is ready to go into their house with this info and tell them she understands Indian-ness ;) (Don't know what she means! )
To top it off, this whole conversation had a serious , want to know tone to it - which I found rather interesting. Good to know people want to know about our customs for knowledge, especially after another conversation where I was told that indians want to keep things to themselves rather then comeout and mingle with the crowd.

Phew, so much for ppl's opinions. Let me know if you had any incidences like this!

flowerful

2007-07-03T16:55:00.000-05:00

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

.....went my favourite song from the movie "The Sound of Music". Roses have always been a special attraction to me, especially the mini roses.Blooming in various colors and in closely spaced branches, roses give a beauty almost undescribable. I have always wanted to grow roses in my garden but I never had a garden in real. So the compensation was pots of all the flowers I want - of different colors,sizes and shapes.This summer has been really special as for the first time after I moved to the US I have 3 colors of roses along with a bunch of other flowers (ofcourse in pots) on the deck on our new home. My little wish is to share my happiness with you all there....

couple of other favorites...

The Big 3

2007-06-12T07:53:00.000-05:00

They are always on mind and keep coming to the foreground time to time. These are the 3 fictions books I read long time back but they are so close to me that I can never let them go. I'm sure there are books lot better than these, in many aspects, but these are the ones I endear. These are the ones --

1) Prodigal Daughter (Jeffery Archer) - I was introduced to Jeff Archer way back in middle school , but it was in high school that I developed a liking or his books. With good narration and clear setting, the know how to keep the story going. This book is about a daughter of a polish immigrant who goes on to become the president. It revolves around her life, how she takes things for granted, gets hurt in course of the unexpected and learns lessons of life the hard way. Everything she learns and does, she does with passion - from running the Baron group of hotels to running for the president. Its that passion that she displays that endeared her to me.

2) Memoirs of a Geisha (Arthur Golden) - First introduced to me by S during my Bachelor's years , this book caught my attention immediately. The detail, narration and the entire setting captured my liking almost immediately. It was so good that I couldn't rest till I went ahead and bought a copy myself. I especially liked the elaborate description about kimono, nobu san and the gradual transformation from cute chiyo to the beautiful sayuri. The book brings out the subtlety of a woman's feeling , her adaptation to the life she is forced to choose, the balance of emotion she tries to get for she loves and those who love her.In all, this is one masterpiece in written word.

3) The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho) - The latest I read of the three, this book took some time to capture my attention. My husband's uncle mentioned about this book in one of our conversations and handed it to me when I went to visit him. He said it was amazing but I wasn't interested til the journey started. Santiago's journey in the desert of the middle east itself set the mood for talk about self discovery and questions about life. The importance and satisfaction one gets in pursuing his dreams, the realizations about life, the philosophical outlook of life , all of them brought home the thought that "simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them", as reinforced again and again by Coelho. I have no words to describe how I feel when I think of this books , the rush of emotions and thought in my mind make it difficult for me to express the thoughts coherently. But I can say for sure, this book will be remembered for life and its lessons reminded in every step.

P.S : Let me tag Preetam, Snehith and Navisa , who I know read and love books. Anyone else who reads this consider yourself tagged. Let us know what u love.

Welcome Summer

2007-05-11T08:57:00.000-05:00

Summer is here and so is my vacation time. After what seemed like forever , Im done with 2 semesters and will dedicate my summer tending for my newly acquired home and work.I feel like I've been making lists of stuff to buy to "fill"(to D's dread!!) my home with. Ahh, soo looking forward for binge shopping this weekend!! wwohhooo...

Apart from the lists ,my notebooks meant for drawing medchem structures and writing drug names, are filled with plans for summer. From cleaning and setting up the guest bedroom to buying an naked foundation cream for myself, I've made a plan. Collection coupons during the exams, so I can go check out the stores to talking to frens for recommendations , I've done it all , and all to saturation. But now, all I want to do stick to the couch and watch TV!! Oh ya, read blogs of course...

About my new found love- our new home, living here feels like living back in Austin. We had really missed that life while living in an old apartment after moving to phily. Not because we didn't like old houses, but coz we were pampered while living in new apartment where amenities and the arrangement is way different. Now this home seems to have got our lives to normal. Normal as we perceive it. That's relief!!

Now that I soaked it the relief, its time go back and hit reality ....
will keep you posted

Go Colts!!

2007-01-22T22:01:00.000-05:00

yayyy!!!!! Colts are the champions...AFC chaps with the one and only Manning!! Way to go man!! It was one awesome game yesterday , with nail biting moments to game deciding catches, to the ever calm Tony Dungy.
All day I spent anticipating what would happen...it was this year or may be never for colts...they came thru till the finals to face arch rivals the Patriots and they did an impressive job beating them.Payton proved himself again and shut everyone else. From a disappointing 21-3 to 34-38 , it was a game that would go down in history.
Now all the Colts have to do is to g odown to Miami and ride over the bears.

P.S. After what was a loooooong day today, I finally get to celebrate colts victory now.

Blogoholic!!!!

2006-12-19T08:45:00.000-05:00

This is one phase of student life I love and hate! I have all the time in this world but have nothing to do on hand. I don't even pursue any "hobbies" to keep me occupied during there love/hate time periods. So , I've picked up an addiction- Blog hopping. Well, I'm sure all of us bloggers do this at some point of their blogging periods , but I have started doing this soo much that I'm literally addicted to it. It sure kills a lot of time, but also leaves my fingers close to carpel tunnel syndrome.
In course of nurturing this new addiction,I've come across a good bunch of ppl with different attitudes and different writing styles. As I've always been a fan of English writing ( using known vocabulary not the biblical style which I hardly understand!! ), I find it quite interesting when ppl write everyday incidents with some dramatic effect. It showes the emotion they have attached with it , the results they expect and a little about how they see themselves. Their style not only entertains regular readers but also makes bloghoppers like me comeback for more. Dil mange more......
Also , I'm simply amazed at the variety of topics that are addressed in these blogs , my favorite ones being Scientific , Cooking , casual chats. The amount of time and patience these bloggers invest in making their blogs an interesting place to hangout is laudable.

Apart from this , everything else for the next couple of weeks will be normal...well yeah Its Vacation time next weekend , so I guess I should be excited.

But for now...Its time to say goodbye....

Relationships

2006-12-12T20:28:00.000-05:00

"Relationships are strange things" -- This dialogue from the only episode of Sex and the City I saw till now triggered a series of thoughts in me. Yeas indeed relationships are strange in so many, undefinable, uncomprehendable ways. Best friends drift apart, ppl who never met each other but are only internet friends (thanks to the internet chat!) get so close.
Such things happened to me too...two of my best friends have moved so far , that I find it really difficult ( almost impossible) to touch them with the same chord. Those people whom I thought had the same wavelength as me surprised me with their coldness. Made me think if it was the same person. Other times , I still share a very good rapport with ppl I can call close,only that I don't have much face to face interaction with them. We must have met couple of times , but thanks to the internet,chatting was more frequent than meeting, yet we grew close. Even today we share what's happening in each other's lives with the same intimacy and the same affection towards each other.
I guess this is what is called moving on in life. Some ,like me , hang on to a string from the past , while others don't care. This leaves me wondering what makes people change. Well , I say ppl change, but a friend fiercely says " ppl don't change, only their circumstances change", whatever it may be , does it hurt to acknowledge a person from your past. Don't you want to atleast relive that point of life when we were buddies!?
Its up to ppl...

P.S.I'm remembering this poem by Alfred Tennyson called " The Brook" in which he says
' For me may come and men may go
but I go on forever."
and wondering if this is how some ppl think.

long time no see

2006-08-15T08:35:00.000-05:00

Ppl, I can see that question mark look on your faces saying "she isnt the one who should be saying that!!" Well the story is I was really really busy moving from Austin to Philadelphia. I now realise it was BIG move. Life's changed so much in a day that Im still to digest what happened. Life was so much laid back and peaceful back in austin but here , people are running , god knows behind what /whom. I guess life here is such-fast paced , long days and loads of work yet loads of activites to do and places to see. Its a fast track on the whole.
Adding to my woes, I left my camera cord conecting it to the computer at an uncle's place , so even if I want to post something , I remember I cannot add pics, which makes the post really really boring.

Things Im excied about and happy is that my fren came in for a week, so I intend to have some fun with her, explore places and jump ard, remember childhood. Lets see how that goes.

So what else ppl, I dont know if anyone ever reads my blog co Ihardly see any comments. Neways, I think its fun to see what others think about what I write. ANyhow, thats it for today.

Before I sign off, I want to add....PA is very very very Beautiful. I love the place.

Adios Austin

2006-07-31T11:03:00.000-05:00

My title sends a clue why i've been absent from the bloggin world all this while. I was busy packing and packing and sealing the packs and gearing to move out of austin. It been a combination of excitement and nervousness all thru the session. With 2days for the movers to pick up stuff and 5days to vacate the apartment , butterflies in my tummy are fluttering even faster. To be frank , the very fact that Im going out of austin for goodand not for a vacation struck me when our friends organized a "surprise farewell" for us on saturday night!
It was infact a big surprise as it was a leak-proof planning and we didnt even have a clue..Well that's what is a surprise party -said a friend.

Surprised me n Dileep

However it may be , we leave this place with cartload of memories and basketful of friends. Austin for me is a launch pad for life in the US, and being the first place I lived , I developed a special attachment for the city and the apartment I live in. Never did we change the apartment since Icame here, so these things make me want to cling to the apartment and city. But Life has to move on, for a career or for the need to moe up the ladder...and so we have decided to move. Dileep would have loved to stay back if not for the lack of career choices for me in austin.
Hope this move will bring us more friends at the same time keep in touch with existing friends and enrich our lives.

Thats our austin gang...not all of them as couple of couples are on vacation.

shoe shopping

2006-07-11T12:31:00.000-05:00

No matter how many shoes I have , I always want more. N to add to that...I'm a kind who gets bored easily. I always want to use things for some time n then I get bored!! N I throw them away! Well , It is likely to tax the pocket but then intelligent me won't go for branded things but only koti maal !!

one such item is Shoes!! Hmm footwear to generalize were in picture from the Ramayana times when Bharatha prayed Rama's padharakshas when Rama went on exile.
But I have no clue when the industry started coming out with different varieties of foot wear. but I can guess that's when girls (like me!! ) lost their heart for them. There is never a time I don't go wow over some nice sandals / shoes. But not everything I can wear. When I do buy ...God save my shopping mate...I'm very very picky about them. No big heals , well flats are also not always ok...no pointed heals , no elastic straps ...delicate looking , pretty looking but should last ! n thus goes the conditions...

don't u see I even end up contradicting myself.So last weekend ,finally ..With the insistence of my hubby dear (which was the result of my constant nag that my sandals have worn out!).. I set out to buy more footwear...at my favorite store.."payless shoe store" ...

I wish I could look at the faces of people reading this...though I'm sure u'd say what "pay less shoes " with a tortured face!! but yes that's where I go....sastha maal , ache variety , n possibility to come back soon ...attract me to this store...

n these are my finds....

so ppl. , flats for comfort...

n heals for style...n they are small enough not to cause accidents...hope I carry this one well!!1

n then..if u happen to find a store like this one...do lemme know..I'm ready to dig thru it...

traalaallaaa......I finished my Summer sem on friday. I should actually be feeling wonderful coz I have nothing to do for the next two months. But the surprise here is that I feel none of that excitement, which is possibly coz of the hectic schedules I was on right from Jan this yr. kya bole boss..what way to start my year!!
Right now ' I'm actually looking forward for Sep this yr..when me gonna start Doctor of Pharmacy. I will b "legally" called Dr. Tata , but heard that pharmacists call themselves by first name. dhaaa !! thats a turn off !!
now, as usual lazing over the weekend....so lazy that I actually slept. but plannig to do a lot of "stuff" in the coming days ...like organizing my cookbook (plannig to actually start a cooking blog, but antha oopika undha naaku ??????) , for others hmmm lemme think n let u know.
BTW , for those who r wondering when I'm gonna move...I will I will...whats the hurry...I'm supposed to go anyway tho aaram se jayenge!

Was wondering why I feel like writing only when I get nostalgic about anything personal!! well cant answer that now but I'm definitely back now to write coz I'm frustrated to the core.

I really can't help wondering what made me take pharmacy in undergrad in the first place ( I'm its coz of my mom jaan though) but right now I m gearing up to do my "DOctor of pharmacy" . Phew..that sounds like a big degree -ain't it!? N coz of that I working my *** off to complete English composition course. Hmm I can see u all go ..aahhh:O but yes Im taking it. Till this very moment I didnt realize how frustrating it can get when u cant write a 300word journal regarding multiculturalism or pornography.!!! what crap . I jus love to write about anything and everything (c spirituality..it confused me , n it will to u too) but cant seem to get a word out of my head when given a topic. haahhaa!! its crappy shit.
neways , enough , I'd better get back to multiculturalism!!!!!:(

Spirituality

2006-04-25T19:29:00.000-05:00

Hmm...Disappeared from the page for really long rite! Im back now ...n I wanna see how I can put my ideas about spirituality in words! I donno why I wasthinking about this ..but I happened to think for real some time today!

Spirituality - well I dont know the dictionary meaning for it but for me its some things that directs the mind and "God" is a belief that there is someone powerful n more capable of anything -than me. Well , dont get me wrong at this point- i dont think im "can do it all" person , but I do believe that a lot of things have to taken through a long road before they can b left for destiny! At the same time , at each step of work , I pray saying please let this happen without obstacles.

I think spirituality developed because people were blindly believing that praying idols can "solve" problems without realising "its all in the mind" n its your perception about what to do, resolves half the problem . It developed to teach people to believe in themselves, to know what they are all about. But I feel God is still there because we need some "object" to focus on. I cant definitely focus in space , I need something to put my attention on , so god still is as important in spirituality along with the concept itself.

Well , my thought process stopped here. I couldnt get myself to think more. What do u all think now???

Nostalgia

2006-01-12T17:32:00.000-05:00

I'am wondering when most girls usually realise the importance of having Mom around ! Well , I think I realise her importance in my life now ..specially at times when I'am jus unable to pull myself to do the chores but cannot exempt myself from them either. Not that Dileep will mind if I ask him to take me out ,but its this self imposed " wont eat out frequently" rule stops me from asking him .

Today , for triggers unknown , I came down with migraine and jus couldnt get up n cook rice jus for myself(Dileep had team lunch today) though my tummy was growling with hunger. To add to my agony , the thought of food was actually nauseating . So , I ended up fasting n yes sleeping the whole day!

I really wish amma was a phone call away at these times. Hmm ...well I think I chose this life...I wanted to go abroad badly n here Im.

But Im better than mornign now ..but still cant stand up long enough to cook:( will try though

moving on

2006-01-06T12:34:00.000-05:00

Jus read sruti;s email. Pretty nostalgic..im kinda regreeting not meeting her n other frens when I was in India. But , its was not possible , timings didnt match , places we were in were different. but , sometimes its worth meeting ..u kinda revind into those days whe nlife was more carefree.. u had nothing really to worry about. Life moves on..doesnt it ? n one has to move along with it .

situations change ,people ard change..sometimes u even feel its too late to let your feelings be known to some. Nevethe less , its worth living with those sweet memories .
