World is Small

Life got busier now. Since I started working, I am surprised I didn't put any words here. Things have changed a bit. Moved to our new house in Fremont area. Loving the house but not yet done with the settling down in the new house. Did puja on 23rd Sept at 3pm or so. We all 3 were present and did the boiling milk thing for the gruhapravesh with breaking coconut at the enterance and shanti homma. Moved to the new house on 3rd oct, Sunday and things are busy since then. Carpooling a little longer distances, and then arranging things, finding misplaced stuff, trying to find place where to stuff. trying to organise the house.. purchasing small and big things for big house. List goes on and on. We went to Durga puja event and Diwali mela recently. Akshun enjoyed the nice typically and good rassogolla at the Durga puja in hayward. Akshun had his school photograph taken and also went for halloween parade at Yahoo! He was a lion this season. Picked up his pumpkin at school. Enjoyed ...

Now i fall back with my healthy schedule. Reasons can be provided like had interviews/studying/watching movie/simply being busy etc etc, but at the end the main point is - I didnt do it. I can feel the heat of not working out. Can feel a difference when i go and workout vs when i have been doing nothing. Right now going thru some Perl book to update myself. Alongside what I want to do is update my English. I seriously need to prepare for 1. some certification to add to my resume and 2. prepare for MS here in US. I definitely need to go for higher studies, which i know isnt going to be easy owing to having a family and being always busy. Planning to start working back so don't know when will I have time to think about myself. Sometimes i just feel did I just wasted 15months of my career because I have my lovely son with me now. Or did I use it in a much better way with my baby shielding him and providing mamma's care. But lets not waste any further time. :)

Yep, started working out, eating healthy, maintaining good posture, not being lazy, jotting down things to do and see them towards completion, driving, studying  .. and all good things that i should do to get back the hold of my own life. Bought a new nike shoes after wearing off my old Reebok for 2yrs. And started sending my son to day care :) Getting much better time to think about myself now. Akshun is growing up fast and he is able to listen and refer what I am trying to say to him. Life is becoming much better, interesting and busier. Hope to continue with the good deeds for long.

Well i travelled with my 12month old alone and what a charm my son is. He was so happy and better than any other kids on the long 16hr flight. He enjoyed his time and was so quite and helping. He was playing or sleeping or taking rest or watching tv or playing with remote all the time. He is a sweetheart. I travelled so peacefully on both my SFO-Dubai and Dubai-BLR flight. He enjoyed when i was carrying him on baby-bjorn too. He gets so happy when i m standing/walking with him on baby carrier. We enjoyed our Bangalore trip too. But sorry, couldnt take any snaps outside in bangalore. Been to shoppers stop and Forum mall only. and yes met my old friends shaila, amit, darshan at home. nice bangalore have changed a lot in past 3yrs itself. And Bangalore is expanding in population and the urban space. i just wish Bangalore trees remain the same as it was few years before.

Finally i drove our car in India alone. With US license and no Indian license. It was nice experience as it wasn't at all planned. Driving wasn't tough given that we have an automatic car. But yeah it was raining too. :) All coz its not easy nowadays to find a driver in our area and to get an auto costs same as booking a car with driver with travel agent. I was comfortable driving and I drove all places, busy roads, highway and  small roads, with lots of intersection and pedestrian traffic without signals. Enjoyed my expedition today.

Wow, now I have my own MacBook Pro. Till now i was working loaning it from my hubby :). I know I need to be more productive now. he he he.. Yet to configure and setup everything for the mac. After three years I feel good about owning my own laptop. ha ha ha.. Will write more after I set it up and start working. Lets see how I use it now, for browsing, for movie or for studies. In fact, I wish to do the later.

I now may have to think twice while taking my baby out for shopping. He just want to play with the items in the shop arranged on different isle. He doesnt like to be strapped on his stroller or stay with us. He just wants to be left alone on ground and he wud go everywhere around the shop and play play n play. And he just screams (as he cannot talk) if his wishes aren't granted. Cute and clever kids. he he he..

Why isn't it easy when u sit at home and become lazy that you even forget to make a to-do lists. And keep forgetting that you need to be more organized!! Huh!! Well i am out of it now. .  I have so much to do and I need to figure out what needs to be done first and with priority. I just wish I can go to my pre-marriage life. So that I do things at my own pace.  Well thats just an advantage of being a single. Now I need to be more responsible which I am not becoming. :)  Nowadays running after the kid, thinking of what to feed him and feeding him is the most time i spend in. I  know that these responsibilities are new and will always be there, but now I want some break. It isn't that I want to leave all the responsibilities, but I want to become more organized so that I get time for myself, for my kid and be happy in the game. 

I am back to blogging again, more to keep myself alive with the good spirits. :) Been long that I haven't been in touch with friends. Its been long since i worked, and since I thought about myself. Thanks that it all was for the better. I had a sweet baby boy and he is now close to an year. I wish to plan something good and different for his first year party, so that he can join and enjoy too. Yeah, life is becoming hectic and dull being at home all the time. At times I wish I can come out of the cocoon and see the brightness outside. Though, being in cocoon, I am preparing my son to become a beautiful butterfly so that he comes out with flying colors. Well I am happy he is coming along well. I now need to take time out for myself to do things that I enjoy or once enjoyed. Demands of baby are overwhelming sometimes but I wish to satisfy them all without being sacrificing my own.
