Good Bye America....

So that's it..
The end of 8 weeks travel to the US.
It was good, fun, little bit of travel and of course a lot of work !!!
I met new people, and new sides of some old folks.
The new team I came here to work with was great.
The new style of work was also fun ( I was doing digital layouts, and here I was doing analog stuff ).


The single old friend who took me around last time, got married and busy settling.
But still we managed to meet a few times for dinner.
It was a great escape from my won cooking !!!
The girl suits him perfect.
Good Luck my friends...


Of the old folks, it was a lighter, pleasant side I saw this time.
It was very touching the way my sweet colleague greeted me the first day.
I didn't tell her that I was coming and she was pleasantly surprised.
I always love you the way you are...

All out of a blue, got a good company in an old friend.
And he was the reason for most of the fun, movies and trips.
I will miss the beer bash, the drive and of course your Vietnamese treats...


The team I worked with was fun, united, ones who enjoy work, eat, drink and think ( I guess even sleep ), the new technologies.
Heavily qualified, but fun-loving.
That was the team....
Hope to work with you again soon...


But there was a few incidents which made me feel heavy too...
The parting story and the not happening wedding story...
I do hope the Fire Alarm will find her partner and have many fire alarm babies soon...


How much ever fun I had here, it is so exciting to go back..
To my land, my family, my life...
Momma I am coming...

Living The Dream...

I saw a couple living a dream life...
Of course it is not my dream.
They are setting up the home.
It was funny to watch the guy transforming from bachelor to a family man...
Lady trying her hand on cooking and overall completeness of the home...
For anything and everything both were confused and asked each other for opinions and somehow their opinions always matched !!!
I guess they needed an opinion and that's why I happened to be their first dinner guest !!!
I enjoy any food and something cooked at home was such a delight for me.
And with the new-found enthusiasm, they are hosting party every weekend !!!
As it was my last weekend here, I was invited last Saturday...
Thank you guys...


Watching them building the home made me think...
From my childhood memories to my future !!
As child we used to play home.
Achan will build a tent house for us and we children from all neighbourhood make it our home and prepare food and all in the small pots amma bought from Aluva Manappuram...
It was fun...
The food was hardly perfect and the quantity was just enough for each of us to taste, but the feeling was great...
Thank you parents for giving me all those opportunities...


This trip to US was very special.
I saw the pain of breaking up, longing for a baby and of course the starting of new life...
And all of a sudden I feel like I am missing all the fun.
In fear of breaking up, I can not keep myself from committing.
I guess I can handle the responsibilities - emotional and others - well.
Mom, are you listening.... ;)


I wish my friends all the best.
Hope she will not change her plans every fortnight ( first time it was GRE, now it is a no pay job !!! ).
Nice to see the guy help the lady learning everything.
His patience needs to be appreciated.
It is always fun and lucky to have someone who lets you make mistake and correct and learn yourself...
Hope next visit too, I can have the privileged dinners...

Life is wonderful...

I always believe small is beautiful.
Especially when it comes to happiness.
There is nothing soothing than a heartening smile..
That too when I need it the most..
From one I love...

Sometimes being this far and alone, I curse my fate.
There is nothing fun in being in a foreign land with all fake smile and pleasantries.
I tried to immense into work to relax, but that comfort didn't last long.


Now, when I hear the smiles and all the warmth through phone or mail, I feel, know that my life is not that worth less.
When my granny says, hearing me was enough and she was happy for it, my heart was full...
It is always good to see me wanted..

I know, I can not return all the love I get.
But being lovable and been loved..
I love it...

Uncertainities

Uncertainities : they are all around me.
Looking ahead, back everything is uncertain.
What is goign to happen, or why it happened this way, everythign looks vague.


I am going back home in two weeks.
Good.
Whats next.. it is uncertain...
What with my stay in Bangalore, uncertain...
Where to look for the house, uncertain...


But there is some funny uncertaninties too.
Today I forgot to comb my hair.
And my coworkers complimented my 'new look' !!!
What made them like it... uncertain !!!
