Beautiful Life

Life is beautiful and colored, I can say this nowadays as my front yard is full of beautiful roses. Yellow, red , pink,and orange roses. My hubby and I keep admiring them daily.



It's our luck that the person who lived in our house before us, planted these roses and we are able to have these roses with little effort. Little effort, Ya we are also doing our part by watering these plants daily.





Aren't these roses beautiful. Don't they bring you close to God, there is a song in Hindi that 'if the creation of God is so beautiful then how beautiful he would be'.

Whenever we see these roses, we forget our problems and just see them and admire them and can't stop from smiling at each other .

A great day for me

Hi Friends,

Today is a great day for my husband and me. We crossed one big hurdle lying in our path to happiness and success. Well, I definitely want to take some credit for it but it is entirely the hard work of my husband.

Well, it's a long and boring story, so I will spare you from it, but I will tell you that we faced a lot of humiliation because of it, some people were really mean to us. They always pointed us to the fact that we are not good enough to do it. Now everything is over with a happy outcome. Let's see what's their next objection.Sometimes I think that it is just because we are new to this place, different from them in many ways (culture,customs,religion,language etc.)


I want to say one thing that try and try until you succeed.

Just quitting something is not the right way.

I am proud of you hubby dear.

I asked him to take me out for dinner, but now I think that I should make something good for him at home.

I will be back soon.

See you all!

British English Vs American English

Hi Friends,

How are you all?
It's been really a long time since I wrote any post.

If I say I was very busy, it won't be 100% true. Somehow, I just wasn't able to write anything.

Today I will tell you about my experiences with English.

When I was in India, I knew that there is a difference between British English (which Indians follow) and the American English, but I was not aware that American English is a totally different language. One of my friends here, says that it is a language known as American, and if you are in America you should speak American not English.


There is a lot of difference in pronunciation and spellings.

The recent spelling difference I came to know was:

Jewellery (British English) and Jewelry (American).
I wrote the British Spelling in my assignment and lost some marks because of that.

I knew about some common spellings like:
color and colour.

If you say dustbin, no one has an idea what you are saying, instead you must say garbage can, or trash can.

It's still a new world for me.

My husband and I are learning.

Will keep you posted.
bye.

Life is not Easy

Hi Friends !,

How are you?
I am okay.

It's been a long time since I wrote any post.
All this time ,I was just trying to adjust to my new environment.

Living in a new country is very difficult.
There are lots of changes you need to make, not only in your living style,but also in your personality.

Six months have passed since my arrival here, still I have not got a job.

Actually I am on a visa which requires me to apply for work permit, if I wish to work.I have got the work permit now,but it took me four months to get it.

Then ,Since I am from India, I need to have my credentials evaluation, and my work experience evaluation.

All this costs a lot of money, and time too.

Still my paper work is not finished, and I am sitting at home ,
seeing my knowledge and skills being wasted.

Well, I hope all this passes soon, and I am able to live my life in the way I want to live.

Okay,

take care folks,
bye

life is so different now

Hi Friends,

How are you?
I hope good,,pretty good.

Life has changed so much now.
We live in an area called Tuba city ,in Arizona.
It is quite peaceful here.

Here the soil is red.
Initially i thought it would be difficult to grow any thing here.
But I have seen people growing all kinds of things,,apples,apricots,etc...

Before I forget, I want to tell you there are so many fruits and vegetables ,which are not found in India.

Like apricot ( i am loving it),,grapefruit,tomatillos,etc.

I love to see the different things found here. so whenever I go to a store I spend a lot of time there getting acquainted to things found here..(my husband gets bored often).

We call the same vegetables by different names here as compared to India.
Like we call brinjal as "egg plant",chillies as peppers,etc...

Vegetables are very costly here...
But atleast we get all vegetables here.

I want to tell you so many things but I dont want to tell all at once.

so keep waiting fo rmy next post..

have a great day,

bye!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a long Break

Hi Friends,

I am writing a post after nearly three months.
where was I?

Life has changed a lot in these three months...
I have got married and have moved to America.

To whom I got married ?
Luckily, I got married to my dear friend Sweetu.

If u can remember , I told you that my friend sweetu was going to come in december vacations.

So he came,

and we got married on 18th of January..

unfortunately, he had to go back on 20th of january.

It was a painful separation..

Then I got my visa after nearly two months and I landed in America on 17th of March..

Presently, I am in Arizona , 80 miles far from flagstaff..

Life has changed a lot.

First of all ,now I am a married woman.
secondly, now I am in a different place..

It's all new.

I am enjoying a lot ...

Will keep telling you about my life,



take care,
bye.

It's Christmas Time

Hi friends,

Few days are left for Christmas..

Christmas is one festival which I like very much..even though it is not our festival ( I mean By religion)..

Since my childhood, I have a great liking for this festival.

I used to make christmas cards and host christmas party for my siblings (though in a small scale).


Like every child I loved Santa Claus ...
I wished that Santa could come and give me some gift..

But it was not so,
So, Instead of waiting for Santa,,I used to buy gifts (the ones i could afford) for my siblings and put them under their pillow,,on 24th night,,,so that when they wake up,they find their gifts on christmas day..

I just liked doing this,,

Not anymore,,as all siblings are away from me...

But I have thought that when I will have kids,,I will be thier santa on christmas..

So,finally Christmas is just round the corner..
And I am going to receive a good gift on this day..

Any Guesses,,
My Friend Sweetu is coming back on Christmas Day,,
He will be in India on 25th December..
Isn't it great,.



Happy Christmas to you dear friends!!!
May you too receive a great gift on this day..

take care,
bye

Technology Troubles

Hello Friends!,
How are you? I hope fine.........

I am really sorry for not being able to update my blog from such a long time.Even I was not able to visit your blogs or leave comments.

Believe me,this time it was not my fault, but technology failed me.
I am talking about my laptop,which is sick.
I had taken it to a service centre and today itself it came back in the same state as it was when it had gone there.

It is facing a display problem,Engineer told me that it's LCD needs to be replaced.,but I don't believe it,I think what I need is a competent Engineer...

Meanwhile , I was happily surprised to know that my friend SophiaGurl has awarded me with "The rocking Girl Award"



She has also awarded me with Sweet Halloween treat.



I am really thankful to Sophiagurl for these awards.She has always been a great friend..

By the way, my friend Sweetu, is in Arizona,and now only 44days are left for him to come back to me.

I think I won't be able to blog regularly for few months becuase of my defective laptop..
I request you all to keep visiting my blog ,,as I can't keep myself away from my blog for a long time..

Have a great time friends!

Bye!

I am here

Hi Friends,

I am sorry for not writing any post for nearly two weeks.

Actually I was quite busy in my own little world....

Let me tell you in detail:

1)Firstly,from 12th of october ,,I had nine days fast of Navratri.
Navratri is an Indian festival in which we worship Goddess Durga....
Goddess Durga is the Goddess of strength.

My fast ended on 20th of October.

2)Secondly, on 18th of October ,came my Eldest sister (Didi) and my niece Saumya..She is now 2yrs and 9 months old.

I remember writing about her in one of my previous posts.Now she has become more cute and a bit more naughty and a lot more interesting.But her eating habits are still the same: Coke,Lays,toffees,Chocolates,etc,,,,


They went back on 23rd....



3)Thirdly,My Nephew Avi, had his mundan ceremony on 20th,,so we all went to a temple near our sacred river Ganges .There his Mundan ceremony was performed.(In mundan ,we offer the hair of the child to the river ..These are the first hair of child,which grow while the child is still inside his mom....).

Avi is nearly 11 months old...he is really very cute,he is the son of my elder sister Vinnie...


3)Lastly, I just dont feel like doing anything nowadays,,not even writing(which is my passion)..I had to design my new website,,but I am not able to concentrate even on that..
I think it's because of my loneliness.........

So, these were the reasons which kept me away from this blogging world..

Now , I am back..

Have a good time friends!

bye

It's over

Today is the last day of My Birthday week.

It was really fun..

I am thankful to all of you who took part in celebration of my birthday week..

Birthdays are so Good..
You feel so special on this day...
For me ,most of the day passed in attending phone calls from my siblings and relatives..Can't tell how important I felt....

The surprise of the day was a beautiful Bouquet from my friend Sweetu..Since he is not with me ,he had sent it using some online flowers delivery service...I was really so happy when I received it.I just couldnt take my eyes away from it,,not only because of its beauty,,but for love which it contained in itself......

Day, as are most occasions, was marked by the good food,,,we had chole , peas-pulao, kachoris,, pastries,,,etc,,etc.

My brother bought a domain for me on this day,,I wont tell its name until I launch
my website with some good content...

I would like to thank these blogger friends:

indianvagabond, Speedcat Hollydale, sophiagurl, antibarbie
diane, pirut, Zunnur, Dunn


One thing which I didnt like was that I didnt receive any birthday card from any of my friends or relatives , though I love cards very much..Only cards I received were from astrological sites which I often visit.

These are the cards which I received...

1)From astrology.com


2)From mywebastrologer.com


Ok so,,finally my birthday week is over,,(hard to believe).

Will come up with new post very soon..
Take care,bye

It's My Birthday Week !

Hi friends!,

Did you see the pink colored widget (topmost widget) , on the sidebar of my blog....It says sweet girl's B'day 9 October,,,,,,,,,,,

Yes friends,,you would be glad to know that sweet girl's birthday (i.e.,my birthday) is on 9th of October...



It's time to celebrate,,,after all we have atleast one day in year when everyone gives us a special treatment...

So,for time being no tension and no worries...........


Coming back to my birthday.....

It's hard to accept that I will complete 29 yrs. of my life on my B'day....
When I was a child ,my biggest desire was to grow up quickly,so that everyone takes me seriously..I just wanted to grow up...

Now,when I have grown up,,I want to live the tensionfree life of a child..Want to relive the years I spent with my siblings,,when we all lived together...Now,,my sisters are married and gone to their respective houses and busy with their lives..,,and my brother also gone abroad to work,,,and working hard to make a mark on this world...

As we know we cant bring back those good old days,,but can try to make our present good..So,,its good that even today we are all connected to each other (thanks to Technology)..



As it's my birthday ,,I have planned to celebrate my Birthday week with you all.

I will be celebrating my birthday week from 6th of October to 12th of October and would like all of you to wish me on my birthday....



I don't think I am asking too much from all of you...(what do you think?).

As a return gift,If you wish I can give link to your blog,,or can favorite your blog on technorati,,,(whatever you wish,do tell me)...............


Waiting for your wishes!!!!!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!

Bye.............
