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.............

How do I live without you?

It's so difficult to live without him.
Yes, you guessed it right, I am talking about my friend sweetu..
He went to U.S. on 24th of this month....(merely 3 days ago!).
But it seems to me that he has been away for so many months...

Earlier, we were supposed to go together, but due to unavoidable circumstances (or,you can call it my bad luck), he had to go alone..

I miss him so much,,I used to share everything with him,,,there were no false pretences,no lies,,nothing superficial in our relation.....( I am sorry ,,,there are no false pretences...relation).

There is love , understanding and care in our relation. Infact, he is my soul mate.

Even we have disputes, heated discussions, sometimes we don't even talk to each other for hours, but then we try to solve our problems before going to sleep..
If You are eager to know who initiates the peace process,,whether him or me,,then I must tell you most of the time it's him, and sometimes me ( when I see there is no reaction from him).

I am counting days of his return.
I hope he will come in his winter vacations.

It's 90 days from now..(if we consider he is coming on 25th of December).


We used to talk for more than 5hrs. daily, We used to know what each of us were doing at any time of the day..

Now, the situation has changed. Today he talked to me only for fifteen minutes in whole day..I don't know what he is doing,,and same is with him..

May be after few days it will be ok, when he will buy a mobile and computer...

Still,there is so much difference in our time zones...His time is 11hrs 30 minutes behind my time....So, when it is night here, he is working, and when it is day time here, he is sleeping....

When will my wait end...?

I am keeping my patience, but how long will I be able to do this, I don't know..

I request God to give me courage to face these tough times...

When the two met

This Friday was a great day,
It was a day I will remember all my life.

Yes,,it was the day when my boyfriend and my father came face -to-face..

First,let me familiarise you all with the background..
My friend is going abroad(U.S.) as he has got a job there recently.He will be coming back in December Holidays..So,he wanted to meet my dad and talk to him about us.

At first ,my father was reluctant to meet him,he said let him come back then we will meet.But I said,"He is coming tomorrow..that's it...".It's not that my dad doesnt know about him,,or he is against our relationship ,,but I think he was feeling awkward...So,he tried to evade the situation,,,but I persisted and so,finally he gave in to my wishes...

So,the meeting was fixed,Friday 21 september,2007,,8:15 pm/8:30 pm.My friend (sweetu) was invited for dinner...His flight was on 24th september,,so he was quite busy with so many things,,but still he agreed to come as he was eager to meet my father...

Actually ,my father was a bit angry with him, as he was going there alone,,leaving me here...So,I told sweetu in advance about the situation..

So,both the people were very uneasy about the meeting..

I started the arrangements in the evening,,took out special dinner set,changed the sofa covers and table cloth,,washed the artificial flowers in the room..cleaned the room,cleaned the carpet,,and so on...gave instructions to cook as to what to cook for dinner...


The time came ,,I called sweetu and asked him when is he coming..
He said ,"No,electricity,,please wait ..I will come soon.I have to iron my clothes,etc."

So,at 8:45pm he left his home to come for the meeting.
On his way,he kept asking me ,,what will your dad say,,should I say this,or that,etc.And I guided him as accurately as I could.

He arrived at 8:55pm,I opened the gate for him,,I wished him good luck..So,he entered the drawing room after me,,He touched the feet of my father and greeted him saying "Namaste"(this is how we indians greet each other).And I think that was the turning point of the whole meeting..my father seemed quite overwhelmed by sweetu touching his feet.then sweetu greeted my mother and touched her feet too.

Then he sat down on sofa near my father.
Mummy and I brought water ,and sweets for him and roasted cashewnuts,too.
My father asked him to have them,,instead he said ,"i will take,,but first you take and served my parents"

There was nothing like breaking the initial ice,,ice had already melted...The atmosphere was now warm and comfortable.

My father asked him some things about his father,his siblings,etc.

There were moments of silence...
There were moments when only sweetu and I were speaking to each other.

We talked about his travel plan.His plans after returning back,etc.
When there was silence ,I prompted sweetu to say something,,then he asked my mother about her health,,,etc...

Then the dinner was served,,I served the dinner for father and him..He asked mom also to have dinner with them..Mom smiled..I told him that she will have it later with me..

Let me tell you the dinner menu,,""Chole pulao, chapatis ,cucumber -raita, kheer"",,that's it..

Dinner was cooked by our cook Rani,,,and I guess sweetu didnt liked the dinner...and I am sorry for that,,if I had known that ,I would have cooked the dinner myself....

Then we all had a light chat,,and then he took the leave. ..

and so the meeting ended.....


But I cant forget it...

My mom was very impressed ,,she said it appeared as he had been coming here for years...she said that she felt that my brother was sitting there in his place..

And my father didnt said anything but looked relaxed ,,and I guess he was happy too.

Now ,I think Why I love sweetu so much,,a person who can impress my parents in one meeting,,how could I have not been impressed by him..

What do you say?
