Graduated :-)

Yes I am the new graduate in town :-) had my sister, BIL and Niece over to celebrate and did we have fun or what?
Destinations in 2 weeks; Vegasssss, loads of malls, Park City, Bear Lake and the famous Salt Flats.
The time we had driving, fighting (Inevitable btw sisters), hogging (unmentionable pounds) and goofing around with the little one....sigh, totally precious.
With B at work, I now end up avoiding our living room, our beautiful sunny patio just because they remind me of the last 2 weeks of fun. I do miss them all terribly but now wonder why we do this to ourselves, move away from the most important things in life like family and friends?
I still call Bangalore my home, speak in any Indian dialect I manage at the drop of a hat, fell super satisfied after a hot Indian meal and miss my friends and family at home like CRAZY!!
I also like the fresh air here, the beautiful valley I live in, to bike w/o being run over, the school I got my Master's from, new friends I've made and the cozy apartment B and I live in.
I cannot, atleast at this point decide what I want for the future, all I know is we have to find a way to feel contented wherever we are.
As for my niece, I get to spend a couple more days with her this weekend before she crosses oceans, if I take a 4 hour, very expensive flight (courtesy B)
.....will I do it?

Oh yes I will, cant wait to hear her yell "Shillu" :-D

Rantings of a bored girl

I always assumed that B was not the type to go gadget crazy, not bug me around like my dad, trying out stuff or goofing around with fancy new products etc. I do like gadgets, very selectively...like a nice camera lens or a nice apple product, well coming to the topic of discussion,
B was driving this new car from his work (he is into automobile safety stuff) which was quite well loaded. This car I believe had blue tooth connectivity that helped drivers connect the phone automatically to the speakers. I realize this has been there for quite a while in the market now, but we haven't really tried this before.

Anyway, with this feature, B has been driving me crazy by calling me incessantly, trying to call me from the steering wheel, then with his voice command then again with the dash board...sigh, he then asked me to call him several times to try pretty much the same things! Later he found some other feature and unable to figure out how to work that one, he had to call me a couple more times to see if it worked.

The reason why I sound like I am frustrated is he was doing all of this while he was parked! The car doesn't allow him to play around while driving and so his highness had to be parked....in office.....for over 30 minutes on a day he thought he would come home early!
