Thanksgiving weekend

Since we have decided to be sincere about our blogging this time around, here we are. The only way to keep me motivated at this is to appreciate me. So any/all feedback is not only welcome, it’s absolutely critical to the survival of this blog. Get the point? Good.

Anyway, so yours truly took her first vacation day off this year and decided to spend Thanksgiving in Boston. I wanted to catch up with all my friends before I leave. We dined, laughed, clicked random pics, walked around in the windy weather, and basically much fun was had. I had forgotten how cold Boston can get. I officially hate the winter weather. I had quite enjoyed the first winter, excitement about seeing snow for the firs time surpassed the pains of cold weather. I don't like it anymore. I hate wearing the thick jackets, gloves and hates. Anyway, enough cribbing. So back to the happy stuff. Black Friday Shopping! I actually woke up at 4:30 AM and was in the mall at 6:30. Madness. But it's the my last Black Friday sale, so why not go all out huh?! And it paid off, I got some good deals. So I'm happy. Oh, here's a picture from the trip:

And to continue the Thanksgiving theme:

Dear God,

Thank you so much for giving me such a good life. I am surrounded by people who love me so much, and who I love so much. I have a place I call home, people I can call, people who call me, people to visit, people who visit me, people who give me a ride and let me stay in their homes, people who care so much about me. I don't have to worry about where my next meal will come from. I don't have to think too much before buying the next gadget that I like. Thank you for keeping me healthy and happy and thank you for the most wonderful family & friends!

Love
M

P.S. What are you thankful for?

A heartfelt Thank You note

Dear N,

Thank you for being such a good friend. You were there with me when I was lonely. You entertained me with something new every time. What would I have done this year without you? You were promptly at my doorstep when I needed you. Never missed any dates, never disappointed me. You even managed to bring some flavor of home. I am so grateful to you. And I must thank P for introducing me to you. Even though I am moving to India now, I will always think of you fondly. If you ever decide to come to India, rest assured, I will introduce you to all my friends. Thank you, Netflix.

Love,
M

Yet another comeback

So there's no point in me making a big hullabaloo about my comeback. Yes/No? If you said yes, then sorry, that's the wrong answer. If Hollywood, Bollywood, Tollywood, & not to forget - Kollywood (Am I forgetting any other wood?) celebrities are allowed multiple comebacks, then why not me I ask. Fair enough you say. Okay let's cut the crap. This is my yet-another-lame-attempt at keeping my blog alive. Lets see how long this one lasts. Hopefully longer than the last one. And obviously, a comeback has to be accompanied with a totally new look (you know how celebrities say " I have reinvented myself with this movie"), so I obviously had to reinvent myself with this blog and hence the new look. Hope you like it. 'Cos I do. It has one of my favorite things. Books! Lots of them. In all honesty, we haven't done much reading in the past year. Except for Eat Pray Love. Which we totally loved. If you haven't read it yet and if you are of the female race, do yourself a favor and read it. No, watching the movie is not good enough. And yes, we did watch a lot of movies this year. So much so that we can call this year - the year of the movies. And talking of Eat Pray Love - The movie. Not only did we watch it, we watched it in true eat pray love style: by promptly eating some spaghetti and gelato as soon as it got over - Totally Julia Roberts style. She looks kinda old in the movie. But we love her. Still. Bali looks heavenly. (Note to self - Gotta visit Bali.) Talking of Bali, S is in Jakarta for a couple of days. The currency there is really funny. 100 USD = 8,00,000 Rupiah (approx). So S has pocketful of 50,000 Rupiah notes. And he had dinner worth 75,000 Rupiah. It amuses the hell outta S. I really shouldn't be blogging now. I could have gone to the gym. But I chose to blog. Because I am passionate about blogging...oh well, or lazy about sweating it out at the gym(**Guilty**). Enough rambling for today. More to come. Soon.
