There's so much to do..

When I was going to India, I left all worries and tension behind me. I wanted to be 100% with parents and wanted to give them as much time as possible. But after coming back, why am I not able to leave behind those sentiments attached to India? After returning, initial 3-4 days were the worst of phase of depression I have ever encountered.

It has been almost 10 days and I am still not out of that mood. I have always taught myself to remain busy in order to forget stuff like this. But this all-time-hit remedy is also not working. There is so much to do. During this emotional turmoil time, I jotted down my thoughts in diary. I want to put them together on blog. But I am dragging myself just because I do not feel like typing everything in Gujarati. Then, I bought few books from Crossword. I finished one and started second one just yesterday.It has been 10 days and I still did not go to library or even mandir!! Want to start yoga again. I was learning QTP before I left, I want to complete that as well.

Still feeling lazy though.  Just talking to people and being surrounded by them make me feel better. I guess once I am into my daily routine, things will get better.

Stay Blissful...

Blog about Blog

Don't make fun of me looking at the title. Just last week, I started writing another blog about my recipes. For quite sometime, I wanted to streamline my recipes and organize them properly and what could be better option than starting another blog. As always, Kunal turned out be inspiring and encouraging about my work. At least, someone is going to read and appreciate.

Also, today I found out that I can share my blog on facebook and other social networking sites. But do not know why, I am scared of doing so. As if someone reads and finds mistake, what would they think? It's not typical of me though. Usually, the last thing I would worry about is what others would think. I do whatever makes me feel good.

So here I am with my new recipe blog

I am from New Jersey

I'm from New Jersey

I don't expect too much

If the world ended today

I would adjust

I would adjust

I would adjust..



Friends came over this weekend and we went to Longwood Gardens. Such a beauty it is! Lush green grounds, tons of flowers and to add to it, fountains with lights and music - you just can’t resist them. In the evening, they had John Gorka concert in open-air theatre. I am not much fond of American Music or rather I should put this way, I am almost NIL at American Music. Anyway, lack of any other activity and on friend’s insistence, we decided to attend it.


He started the concert with this song on guitar and it felt good. Looks like, I am starting to develop belongingness feelings for America. So far, it was always like, it's a different country, foreign place to me. But yesterday after listening to this song, I felt like I was representing NJ. Probably, in three years I am quite acquainted with place and customs?


But you know what? It made me little scared too. I have always imaged myself going back to India for good, spending time with parents and bringing up kids there. So does this acquaintance mean a bad omen???? God bless us..
