There is one place on this earth where the rain choose to fall not in its usual liquid style but change its form and settle on the trees . it started like this that the hard work of the clouds and air was getting wasted by getting absorbed into the earth . So the escapist rain befriended the chilly freezable winds in the north and blew them first and came by slowly when it was the right time for a vacation and started to fall in a white cloudy manner . The first few hours are a wonder and awe and you seem to see the whole thing in wonder for ever . But then after the awe comes the wonder of Why Why ? Why ?

So if the winter in minneapolis is to be described then there is just one line for it . It is the place where the gods have given permission for the rain god to stand and enjoy the nature . To be on the leaves on the trees, the houses , on the cars and rusting them , on making the beautiful lake to one solid ..the wonders just keep coming all the way.

..and officially today is the 6 month mark of my dad passing away..its like yesterday and its still like he is some where around . Missing him like a bee misses its honey . Missing his talk , his walk , his philosophy , missing his sarcasm , his affection , his driving , his energy , his spiritual talk , his smile , love , his calls , his voice ..everything abt him. Where do all dead people go ?

..I think we are a family who are prone to undergo shocks and disappointments on regular basis.

..but the hand beside me seems to push me further along the path . Its like going in circles and

circles.

..I see a lot of HGTV here which is mainly ( no guesses ) about housing , architecture and decor. ..and now i am really jealous because the houses are soooo beautiful and spacious . The house just sprawls and crawls , and you are just a small peck inside it . There are Living rooms , Dens , a spacious kitchen , Game rooms , the basement , the laundry room , half baths , full baths , Master bedrooms , children's bedroom , lawns , gardens ..really beautiful ...

but coming back to the ground and family living inside it , its a full family job .I mean no one can sit just without doing anything .There is work for every one inside it . There is carpet cleaning , lawn moving , trash throwing , garage cleaning , ..though these are not to be done on daily basis . But still it is every body's job and dream .

..but still still still life comes from people and oh! people . And a big house without any noise can be depressing enough to run away from it .Everything has a price . ..and loneliness is the price for BIG houses .

Huh!

The best way to be over a man is to be under another man!

-The greatest American saying i have heard .

..The week end saw us traveling in a rented luxury car to Waukeesha to hubby's College friends for the B'day celebration of their two year old daughter . Everything went fine and it was a good experience to travel in the luxury and the distance which we covered normally in 5 hrs was covered in 4 hrs . you just sit in the car and close your eyes and you can forget that you were traveling actually.

...now cmng to the point I am just a graduate in my education . I did not do any post graduation . The three people who were sitting around did their MS from good colleges in US and their conversations revolved around people who have done good and not so done well and not done well . So anyways I was the odd man out there and continuously felt that prick . Husband called it near to zealousness and I could not help it .I mean i did not try to contradict it and just let it pass . My point was all people do not have their lives in a platter like they had and i left it it at that. The first highest prick point was of course their continuous comparisons of US and India , you know how NRI 's can talk .traffic comparisons , infrastructure etc., Agreed US is far ahead from our country but it is home for me . The second highest prick point was when his friends wife was telling about some one in the party group has come there just like her 6 years back and how 'they' all have studied there .and how they all have settled there ..and i had to comment like 'So cute ' and smile .

I am supposed to be jealous so I will leave it at that.

.. after reading blogs for such a long time ..i think its the time to say ..Its enough now . I mean I am really not interested now in the thoughts , ideas and family life of other people . Their ideas of life, views about all things , I mean its over. I have deleted some of the blogs links form my page and I have kept only those which are of some worth. So that's it .
