Snow storm...

To some ppl snow is fun, to some others it is irritating, to me it is depressing. And it snowed about 6 inches today. So stayed home all evening and cooked.

Sandhya made a snowman. Took lots of pictures with the snowman and Ashwin. Hmmm! Do we see a similarity ;)

I escaped last December's snow storms cuz i was away at Austin with my sisters. But i guess i am stuck here till the end of this month. After a beautiful summer and a colourful fall, snow makes things appear like a black and white movie. Leaves and flowers wither away and trees look like they have been taken outta horror movies. Shiverrrrrrrrrrrrr! Madras la 21 yrs irunthutu, i can survive extreme heat waves. But kuluru thangala!! Thanni adikara pazhakam vera illaya ;)

I am ok with snow if it disappears the next day. But it turns into ice and makes life miserable. It is very easy to walk in snow. But not so in ice. A fellow student fell couple of days back and broke his left hand. I believe they r going to fix a plate in the following week. I hope i dont fall. I already did last week and it hurt :(

Wednesdays suck...

I hAtE wednesdays cuz they r sooooooooooo long and wears me out at the end of the day!

I start my day at 7 in the morning. I work from 8 to 11. Then i got this lab which goes until 3. Then classes until 5.45. Appadaaaa 15 mins break! Apram dance class until 8.45. By the time i come home, it becomes 9.30 and then saptu, homework panitu thoongarathukulla pathi vedinjudum!

I am very happy that this semester is coming to an end next week cuz no more wednesday tortures!!!

Maybe i shud have been satisfied with an undergrad degree. Masters is tiring me out

:(

Home sweet home...

How i miss Amma's "Kathathae dee", Appa's "Anuuuuuu! Phone kezhavai" and Tommy's "Lick lick" :)

Kaja kaja nu market satham, epo paru kekkara train satham, thoonga vidatha kosu tholla, kovil mani, oyatha cell phone satham, friends oda aratai, appa kaila pesinju thara "parupu podi vathal vadam", elathukum mela Doordharshan, ithu elam nan US vantha apram miss panna few of the many things!

Someone once rightly said "People tend to overlook the beauty of things at hand and they will realise their lose only after they part with it". And so is my story. Anga irukum pothu nan adina attam konjamaaaa ena! Inga vanthu elamae mari pochu. Epomae pesa friends, saptiya nu kekka relatives, thitti thitti konja appa amma nu irunthutu, i found it real hard after i came here cuz i had nothing to replace what i left back home.

USA taught me many a lessons and most of them taught me good values from bad experiences.

I was raised in a protective manner and what a blunder it was! I realised my incapability of being independent, shrewd and balanced. I lost too many things and the worst lose was my self-confidence. I would probably rate the first few months of my life here as the worst period of my life. Change is the constant thing in this world and every change that occured in my life brought me more ill luck and misery ranging from losing of friends to losing my job after accident!

But the things that have kept me going are my parent's love and well wisher's prayers. I wont say my life is horrible now. Its much better and saner than before. Thanks to a few friends like Ashwin, Sushmitha, Chaithu, Gaj, Shanker, Sudha, Arun and Manoj and other friends and cousins back home! I have always been a fighter and consequently a winner. I am sure i will definitely win this time too and live upto my parent's expectations.

Additional boost in confidence: I AM GOING TO INDIA. FOR A GOOD WHOLE MONTH! :)
Vera ena venum??? Sema koothu adika poren. I am going to enjoy like i have never enjoyed before cuz i know i will have to come back here. Who knows whats in store for me!

P.S: Hey ithu onum soga katha illa pa! "If things dont go the way u dreamt, everything is not lost. There is something better planned by God" ngarathu nan en personal experiences moolam kathunda vishayam. Ena mathiri sila vishayathula iruka koodathunu inga vara poravangaluku patti range ku oru kutty advise, illa illa WARNING!! Avlo than!!
