And so it begins ...

Last week at my job. Its kind of hard trying to unload and handover all my responsibilities. Its the experience that comes with the job and comfort level developed that cannot be passed on. Moreover me being me, I get attached to people, places and things so easily. So feeling sad and emotional to let go of it. Yeah! yeah I have read the banal statements of how 'nothing is permanent but change' and so on. But again me being me, I also know that I will get over it pretty soon, like some things in the past. Especially considering I have a trip coming up to the west coast next week, which will be an adventure in itself.

Its been a pretty cold winter so far. Spring seems far, far away.

Hajjar things on my mind as usual!

Ambat

I made Ambat for the first time ever. Wonder why I never made it all this while. It turned out well. P and I hogged :)

Whenever I cook Konkani dishes and which is at least 2-3 times a week the coconut oil brings back memories of childhood and I miss my Mommy so much :(

And...

How do I manage to always quit right before there will be a performance review?

I have never experienced a pay hike in my career so far ; moved countries every single time
boo! hoo! :-)

Weekend

Slept at 4 am after a fun Friday night at friend's place.

Result: Saturday was wasted. I mean totally wasted.

Today its Sunday it snowed until now almost 4pm, still undertook the journey to pay our visit to the mall at 12pm.

Breakfast @ Starbucks.

I prefer Natick Mall anyday. But decided to go to the gloomy Burlington mall instead.

On the return we had a flat tire. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Mundane..

Has been a very dull and lazy day.

Finally got down to LOST Season 4. It is still as interesting as it used to be. But hey what do I know, I am an hopeless LOST addict.

Lots of reading to do for the weekend on SCM concepts.

"Dil Kabbadi" is this weekend's movie to watch.

Tried a new vegetable, actually new for my husband but been ages since I had, never made it since I started cooking/got married. Not sure what its called in English or Hindi but its called seeme-badnekay in Kannada. Light green vegetable that resembles a Pear. And he liked it.

bla! bla!

The first festival for the year has gone by.

This week seems to be going so slow. It should have been Friday today !?

A lot of things going on as usual, trying to keep up!

Common cold...

Post new years eve - sleep deprivation wasnt the only issue as I had thought, would be of concern, a mild cold turned into cough. After consuming a lot of NyQuil it stabilized but is leaving me very drowsy on a working day or maybe cos its Monday - or a bit of both.

Watched Gajini and Slumdog Millionaire over the weekend. Both were pretty good movies. Subsequently watched the Golden Globes also.
