A rendezvous of my thoughts

South West Matchmaker

2009-03-04T12:47:00.003-06:00

My last post was about my trip to Las Vegas.This is also something that i came across dut=ring the trip.as i had mentioned before we travelled in south west airlines.As much as i liked their service, i hated the fact that they do not have a proper seating system.I mean they give u some seat numbers and finally when u board the flight in the hopes of runnning to your seat and taking that window seat before your husband, all you see is, its an open seating.anybody can sit anywhere they wish.Its great for the people who board first, but the people who board last would have a tough time finding a seat together if travelling together.We didn't have much of a problem on the way to Vegas.But the return flight was a tragedy.We all hurried and took the front of the line in the hopes of boarding the flight fisrt.Not exactly first cuz they divide everyone into groups.There were 3 groups and we were in the 3rd group.But we stood the first when they called out for the 3rd group and were very glad we did.Since Dip was in 1st group[though we all took the boarding pass together] he went in before us and had a seat reserved for Jin,But Jin, Sj n me were together in the line.All of a sudden there is this black guy,oops sorry,African American guy who comes in says he has to be in front of the line as his boarding pass says number 1.I dont mean to be a racist, But i hated that guy.He behaved just like an Indian.I believed only Desis [sure that includes me] make such stupid acts.He was soon joined by a white American man.May be not always does a white man agrees so much with an African american like now.I was so irritated.we all were.They started making so much fuss there that the airline lady soon came over and made us all stand in order of the number.There was no such thing followed for the first 2 groups.So now we are at the end of the line.By the time we got inside most of the seats were filled.Finally Sj and me couldn't sit together.We got a middle seat and i was directly behind him.Thank god, we were atleast close.There was this heavy man next to me who was travelling with his mum who was on my other side[I was in the middle of them].Yeah, i sepeprated the mum from his son.I felt sympatehtic for him initially cuz he cudn even sit in the middle seat cuz of his extra pounds, but only till he started snoring to glory right next to me.I could see this mum looking at his at times with that "what are you doing my loud,naughty boy" kinda look.whatever, i had to suffer.Then, I happened to read the airlinr magazine in the seat pocket.It had an article about the SW open seating policy. The title was something similar to "SW matchmaker" though not exactly that.It said that since they had an open seating, strangers get to meet and fall in love.I just cudn looking to my left and thinking "REALLY"???? There was so much written about all these successful love stories of people who met in SW flights.Come on, u seperated me from my husband.Is that so romantic???Whatever!!!
But then, i saw Sj asking the guy next to hom if he take take my seat so that i can sit next to him.Now, something i have't mentioned yet is that through out the journey Sj n me were having a silly yet kinda big fight.It wasn't permanent.It just got coming n going.At one point we both even thought i should go back to India n stay there for a while [we both try to scare each other with that though it never works... C'mon, we love each other more than that].. Now that i still have bits and pieces of the fight left n my mind i was upset.But when i saw him talking to the other guy about giving me the seat, i felt that it was really sweet of him.It din't work cuz the other guy was 6'4" and cudn take a middle seat.Sj usually doesn't ask for favours to strangers.Still he did this time.This made my heart melt.When he cannot sit away from me for 4 hours, how was he gona live without me if i go back to India...See, Lier, he doesn wan me to go... it was a good feeling to know that.May be god wanted us to realize how much we loved eachother and how we cannot live without eachother.So he didn't let us sit together.So is open seating really romantic??? may be... Then i looked to my left agian..May be not...

In love with Vegas

2009-03-02T08:18:00.004-06:00

Its been so long.Though there is no big change in my life, things r pretty much a lot different from my life in Peoria.Since we have moved to Chicago, Sj comes for lunch daily n the rest of the moves by quickly after i spend the morning cooking.The days i dont cook i just cuddle up in my love seat with my throw.I love my throw.Its pretty cozy n keep me warm.We had a recent trip to Las Vegas.It was like a long term wish that i needed to visit the place.Its pretty cool, actually mind blowong.Everything was simply great.Though Sj n me had some silly fights while we were there, i still had a lota fun.Imagine, i think it wud b the only plac eint he whole world, where u can have a fight with your guy/gal n still have a lota fun.
We landed in Las Vegas airport by around 7.30pm.The flight was cool.SouthWest airlines.They serve free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.I loved their cranberry apple cocktail.[they call it.].While Sj spent a while sleeping i was busy trying to solve puzzles and Sudoku i found in their magazing.I have never over estimated my ability in mathematics.Maths and me are like hmmm....hmmm....lets just say,we dont get well together.We hate each other.Its like an inherited hatred.I believe my grandmother shared a similar relation with Maths.Its like, i can still get a 100 bucks from her,return 50 and convince her that she has to gimme 60 bucks back.[Not that bad, still closer].Yeah, so after all the failed attempts to solve even the warm up section of Sudoku, and many cocktails [again as they call it], we finally landed in Las Vegas.
Though our initial plan was to rent a car n drive directly to Williams [3 hrs from Vegas and an hour from Grand Canyon],where we wud spend the night before the drive to the Cnayon the next day, trust me, the charm of Vegas was so tempting that we changed it.We drove to the strip, roamed around for an hour or two before we actually drove to Williams.I dont remember where we had dinner from.I will mention it when i do.The drive seemed longer since it was midnight and we cud feel the crawling of sleep into our eyes.I was scared Sj wud doze off behind the wheels,so i kept talking about everything [yes, i mean it], every stupid thing i cud possibly think of.Anyway, we were not alone.We had another married couple with us.But they were equally sleepy,infact they were sleeping in the back seat while i was talking to Sj about Obama's new economic stimulus plan and the other girl from my college whose boyfriend ditched her.Still cant remember where we had dinner from.
Grand Canyon was beautiful, though i feel the snow a day before had reduced the much expected red colours in the formations whick kinda made less attractive than o thought.Still, it was a natural wonder and a great view.
We reached back in Vegas the same day.No time to waste.Didnt even bothered to check in the hotel till we took a complete roam of the strip.We strated the next day with a brunch at the nearby Thai reataurant cuz iHop was too crowded. They call it a recession in USA,Vegas is still flooding with people.But i dont doubt a bit why.This is the coolest place ever.We stayed in the Stratosphere, but still did't take any rides.The rides in Stratosphere are one of the scariest ones in the world.I had a double mind about taking one of it, and decided against it.Y pay money and scare myself.Dont i have anything more fruitful to do with the money,like buy myself that long jacket or the boots i always wanted.Yeah, the most interesting part of the trip.We watched two shows in while there.Vegas is most known for its gambling and shows i guess.Yeah, the women ofcourse, i saw these men at every corner who gave off snaps of naked women and their phone numbers,Gross...There were even these truck like vehicles moving around with such ads...I hear there are licensed borthels in Las Vegas.But i think these are the stuffs that makes Vegas "VEGAS" .Now, coming back to us, We watched two shows,"Fantasy" and "Zumanity".Fantasy is a complete topless show.It was okai,i liked there dance.But there was no great in watching the silicon and the non silicon ones.The hostess who sang good by the way wasn't believable at all.Anyway there was this guy who did comedy while they set the stage and the girls changed [i have no idea what???], was cool.He was really fun.He was the mail highlight of the show.He was damn funny.The next show we watched was Zumanity.Ah, great show..I simply loved it.I guess everyone there did.We got a deal on the ticket online.A seat in the centre on the 3rd row from the stage for half price was great.There was a lot of audience participation and stuff.It was amazing anyway.I took a tequila shot for the first time while in Vegas. I actually had thought it was gona be bitter and Sj had warned me that i shouldn spit it back incase i cudn take it.Anyway, i surpirised me, including myself, Cuz i had it with ease,I liked it infact.It didn't taste bad and i liked the way we take it with lemon n salt.I wanted to have one more just for the fun of it, but the cost of a single shot [$16 or more against $3 in Chicago],made me go against it. It was a great trip anyway and a lot of fun.I can write pages and pages about this one trip.But want to keep it short and this is best i can do.

2008-10-29T14:41:00.002-05:00

Days are alomost the same.I wake up, make tea, Sj goes to office,comes home for lunch by when i will lazily cook something,eat lunch together, drink tea in the evening[yeah, i take Boost on certain days too], watch tv, eat agaon n sleep.I believe what i have right now, is the most unfruitful days anyone can ever have.But its not just all my fault. A few days back i realized that im not even allowed to do volunteer jobs, [unless its community service]. I had met with the HOD of Immonology of the UIC.He is a great person. When i reached there i realized the schedule he has.But he still took time to talk to me.I had already taken an appointment. It was at 6 in the evening.I spent the morning brushing up old stuffs after dusting up some notes i had with me.It was wonderful talking to him.He gave me valuable advice and even promised me a job w/o pay in his lab if its legal.I was over whelmed.It would a great opportunity to work in one f the best labs in USA.The next day i checked my mail atleast 15 times for his mail finally before i finally received his mail stating i wasn't allowed to work.It was so disappointing as i was really hopeful about his.May be its not time yet.Im not yet ready to join for PhD.Thats another option i have right now..I have no clue where this is leading by.Im hoping things would be better after i receive a greencard.

Wierd dreams and regular work outs

2008-10-03T20:41:00.003-05:00

I have been ignoring my blog sonce very long.I think i must really try to update it more often. Beoing idle has made my mind wander in routes where i have high probability of getting lost.I am not sure if its just me not having much to do or if its my mind retrospecting all that i wanted and i have lost.I dont know.I would like to believe its the former.I am still confused about what dreams really mean for us.Do they really mean anything?i dont know.But i think i need not know.Cuz as long as i dont know, i can believe that they dont mean anything...There are certain things thats causing my heart ache at times and i shed some tears.But i just cant forget how wonderful Sj is.i feel he is such a great guy i have no right to hurt him.This belief is what keeps me going...I usually even try to be away from TV programmes which brings to me thoughts i dont cherish.

I am working out regularly with Sj these days.Hoping to shed some pounds.Hoping to have a good weekend.I really feel i must have a romantic get away with Sj.Feel really need it at this time.Not that anything bad has happened for me.I just feel like we need it.Sometimes i even feel i must have kid soon which might keep me engaged.But i dont want to jump into such major decisions without being really prepared for it.

When sleep gets lazy...

2008-09-14T23:43:00.003-05:00

just back from a trip.Was a hood trip though i wouldn't say, the best.But it was great meeting my friends whom i miss a lot these days at this new place.There r a lot of things happening in my life and others life which make me mystified.Infact i must say, almost everything makes me think twice for right and wrong,sense and non sense.Mostly i THINK, things are the way they are and then there are things i BELIEVE are the way they are cuz thats how i want them to be.
Itz 11.53 at night and I am sleepless.I know its not the mild steroids for my stuffed nasal cavity thats keeping me awake.
Keypads can be great friends when the close ones cant be closer enough.Hoping to have a good night sleep without the non scary but disturbing dreams i get.

PS: The laptop screen looks the best in the darkness when all the light i see comes from it.

Selecting the reality I wish to accept...

2008-09-11T16:40:00.003-05:00

2008-08-29T15:54:00.002-05:00

1. When I'm sick I'm usually upset.
2. When I take a walk, I think about everything i see around me.
3. Money can't buy happiness but it can buy a ticket to Hawaii[I really wana go there once].
4. Cotton makes me feel hot and leather makes me want to have a fruit leather.
5. The strangest person/character I've had lewd thoughts about was the hero of a novel i read.
6. My favorite color these days is Blue because it brightens my boring days.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to reaching our hotel before its too late at night, tomorrow my plans include a sunset cruise at the Pictured Rocks and Sunday, I want to have lots of fun at the Mackinac Islands!

Living in Chicago!

2008-08-07T16:49:00.002-05:00

hi.i am all settled at the new place..I like it here.I like the patio and the homely felling..We bought all the new furniture for the home.I want to buy a dining table too.But we would wait for some time since it would make us broke if we get it right now.But i like this stay.I have a bigger kitchen where cooking is a much better experience than my old one.Moreover the kitchen and the living room are almost together which lets me watch tv while cooking which i enjoy.Sj can come home lunch.His office is very close.I have a tree right outside my patio and like the feeling of the shadow it gives my patio and livingf room.I got an indian cable connection too today. I have all major markets, shopping centers,restaurants,banks.At&t center etc...etc... very close by to my aprtmnet and this makes shopping really easy. Now these are all the wonderful things about my new living place.Coming to the slightly darker side of things...
The maintanance here sucks.The A/C wouldn't run below 72.But they wouldn't replace it till it stops working.Atleast thats what thye say.Disgusting.Its so hot and we have to leave it continously running for 2 days before it touches 70F.I even have the bathroom door lock broken which they repaired twice last week and is again damaged.I just had an argument with the lady at the resident services.There is this one lady over there who really doesn't know how to talk.I dont know who appointed her for the resident service.She argues with me saying that fixing a bathroom lock is not an emergency and i was infuriated.I have guests coming over tomorrow.Its Sj's birthday tomorrow.I gifted him a certificate for massage for an hour at a nearby place tomorrow.

2008-07-19T00:36:00.002-05:00

1. If I could be a fly on the wall I would fly away and away and away till tororrow.
2. Jealousy is self murder.
3. When I see a shooting star my wish would be that my family and me stay happy and healthy.
4. I'd rather be eating chicken than pork any day!
5. Certain songs when I hear them make me wanna fly back tot he past.
6. If time were in a bottle I wouldn't keep the bottle with me.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to our send off party, tomorrow my plans include attending another birthday party and Sunday, I want to prepare for Neha's birthday party on Monday [:)]!

Party days

2008-07-19T00:16:00.003-05:00

Hi all.We are moving to chicago the coming saturday.As much as im looking forward to it, i really feel disappointed i will have to leave all my friends here.Infact i ahve made more friends in the last month than i have made in past 8 months...Today we had a send off party from all our friends.It was a lot of fun except for the argument i had with Sj when we reutrned.It kind of got hot making Sj is angry and going to bed without me.He even fired a few harsh words on me.It was hurting.But somehow i didn't feel like beginning a big argument,neither did i feel like crying. But it sure felt disheartening.I dont know what i feel.I may end up going back to him myself and trying to settle the fight as i do always.But i really do not want to do it this time.Im watching tv now,There is Nancy Grace coming up.But Nancy is doing the programme today.Somebody else whose name im not sur eof is doing it for her today.Its about a missing 2 year old today.Now coming to children,its neha's birthday on Monday.Im so excited.Im doing a lot of arrangements.Its a theme based birthday.Neha loves Winnie the Pooh...So we are arrranging a winnie the pooh birthday for her.I will write more details of it later.Hope u all have a great weekend.We have another bIrthday party to attend tomorrow, then Neha's birthday party on monday and then again we have a party on next saturday.So its a complete party time though right at this moment im not in a amood for any of this.Hopefully, i wiil feel better by tomorrow.Have a great weekend all.

Sj offiicially gave the resignation to the present company.We are expected to move from here by the 25th of july...we have a visa transfer receipt to receive before he joins the new company.So it was slightly a risk resigning before we got it in hand.But if we would wait for the receipt to resign, it would take a long time to join the new company as we have to give 2 weeks notice bofre resigning.Hope evrything gpes well.Booked the apartment in chicago.Good one.Got pool, gym, tennis court n all that stuff.But kind of expensive compared to what we paid here.We have to pay for all the utilities too.But then went for it as it is very close to Sj's office.Hope all of u are having a great weekend.We had a get together with friends last night and got up really late today.I have missed my friday fill-ins for many weeks now..hope to catch up soon.Have fun all...

Booked new apartment in chicago.But the visa trnsfer is not done yet...waiting for it.I was in chicago this weekend too.I have been on chicago almost every weekend for past 3 months.My cousin n her family had come from Minneapolis.So we had fun.Went for the architectural cruise in navy pier and i really enjoyed it.Even an evening at the akeshore on sunday was well spent too.I even watched the movie "Wanted". Anjelina was stunning as always.The movie wasn't anything great.But is worth watching a single time.I kinda liked it.Have fun all.Will keep updating about my shifting and stuff.I have plans to buy whole new furnitures and do good interiors for my new apartmnet.

Yiipppppeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-06-25T13:03:00.002-05:00

Great happy news!!!! Sj just got a new job.He had been looking for one since a long time.He was in an Indian company and was here on a project.Now he is palced in an american company with a better pay and benefits.They would file for green card later for us with no cost of ours.This was ht echange i had mentioned in an earlier post.We were so busy looking for new aparments last week.We want to furnuish the new apartmnet really good.There is nothing much furniture and stuff in this apartment where we stay now cuz we never had plans to stay here for long... this is a great change to happpen now...The best thing is, the new place where we would stay would be just 8 miles from my dad's place...So he can just come and stay with us anytime.lala lala laaalaaa.
The company pays for our relocation and lease break and stuff.They would even pay a few bucks extra to us before we move to chicago.So its really cool..I love shopping.We both want to buy a good king size bed, a sofa and someother stuffs for the new apartment.AAAAhhhhhhh!!!! Im so excited.
Sj always wanted a job change.He had applied at so many places,but got very less interviews.Its so difficult to get a new job in US now.But last month, he had 2 interviews, one at chicago and one at Camarillo, California.Sj loves California.Always wanted to work there.But this Chicago job is more rpomising than the other one.So decided to go with this.Moreover we have no friends or relatives in CA. im so glad im moving closer to my dad.Wish me luck everyone.Will update about everything regarding my shifting.Have fun.

back from choicago

2008-06-25T12:42:00.002-05:00

Hi.I am back from Chicago.I was at my dad's place and i really felt sad seeing my mum leave.I would have loved to see her stay back for some more time.We argue quite a lot when we are together.But still we have great love and respect for eachother which many others dont know.I bought a few gifts for mu mum.A lip colour and eye shadow and stuff... she usually doesn't wear much make up.But the ones i bougth were almost skin tones.So it was okai.Mum reached safe and thankfully the flight was on time.Another really lucky thing to happen was that mu mum could sent 2 baggages.Yeah, She had 2 almost over weight baggages and a truly over weight hand baggage.Incase they had made her open the hand baggage, things would have popped out of it as in an insan epopcorn machine.A friend had gifted her with a lots of kitchen wares which she was keen to carry with her.Then she had all these gifts she had bought for our relatives,mostly perfumes and stuff.Then she had bought her favourite brand of perfume for herself, J'adore.Well, I love it too.Its worth the $85 spent on it.I love it.But my mum love sit more.So all this had made her bags really heavy.We were really worried as she was travelling alone.But my dad knew someone at the airport.But we weren't sure we would meet her there.he just knew this lady, but wasn;t very colose to her or something.Thank god we met her at the airport.This lady works for the Indian airlines and she helped us by sending all my my mum's bags in baggage without even weighing them.All she had to carry was a laptop bag.Thank god .
I bought a mineral make up for myself.Find it good.But nothing to beat my Loreal 3 in 1 foundation stick.Its really good.Though they suggest that the moneral make up can be worn by itself, i use it like a compact after my Loreal stick and i works better this way for me.

In Chicago to see off mum

2008-06-16T15:38:00.004-05:00

Hi.Im in Chicago now.My mum is going back on thursday and i decided to stay with her till then.Sj has went back today morning as he has to attend office.We went shopping yesterday and mum bought Jadore perfume.She loves it and had been looking for good deals on it ever since she came.I bought an American beauty mineral makeup for myself. I never had plans for buying it, I just tried and when everyone told me it was good on me.So ended up spending $25 on it.These things are expensive.I wanted a buy a good concealer i found later which was another 22 bucks, but decided against it as i felt i shouldn't be spending so much on cosmetics, atleast till i start earning some money.I watched Sex n the City last thursday and kinda liked it.Im a sex n the city fan n watch it regularly on tv.So i badly wanted to watch the movie.Though Sj is not very fond of the series, he still agreed to take me for it.The movie was kinda good.Im not sure if i really loved it.I felt it was a bit dragging.But i liked the stuff.
Im very sad now that my mum is leaving.Both my mum n dad very gloomy too.I even saw my dad crying cuz he doesn't wana stay away from my mum.My dad is on a greencard here and my mum can actually visit any time.She got a visa for 10 years.But she has a few responsilities there to take care of and she is working too.I'l write in detail about it later.But im sure my decision to stay here for a week has really helped.My dad wouldn't atleast feel very lonely after my mum has left.Its been almost 2 months since my mother came.But time seems to be in great rush.I hope evryone has a great week ahead.HAve fun.

Back to square one

2008-06-09T07:16:00.002-05:00

Hi all.Last 2 weeks had been quite busy.A change i badly needed.My mum was here with me and with the dance practices in full swing, i had a great time.My mum returned with my dad yesterday and the dance got over on saturday.So its back to square one now.Im again here, sitting on my sofa, laptop in front of me,blogging with the tv switched on.Im watching [or atleast thats on tv now] american morning and these guys are discussing Obama and Hilary....Im not sure how much im listening.But the tv is switched on and would be so the wholw day.Do i sound a bit depressed?Well, incase i dont, let me tell u that im.Not exactly depressed,but im sad.Im sad that my mum left and that the dance is over.The dance good and we got hell lot of appreciation on saturday.It was a great feeling when it was over.It was a complete Indian bollywood and classical based dance.I'l upload it in youtube and then i will add the link here.Im not sure how many of you will enjoy it.But i cant explain the fun i had.Getting the costume was the most difficult thing to do.Finally we decided on draping a sari.But it was difficult to dance on sari.So my mum came up with this idea of a qiock temporary stitching of the saro to make it look like a skirt...It allw orked well and we all had cosrumes.We even made similar accessories with lace and other simple stuffs we bought from Micheals.Now a hint about the change i had mentioned to u earlier in another post.We might move from our current place soon.Nothing is confrmed.But we might.Moe details soon to come.have fun all.Have a great weekend ahead.

Hi all.Im very busy these days for a change.We are dancing in the temple on june 7th.So its almost practice whole day.Friends come over in the morning and practice whole day.Then setting up the CD n stuff.We are doing an Indian cinematic dance.Its actually a medley.Its going good.Sissy, I had a great time at the weddding.We and this other guy were the only Indians there.The other guy was there just for half an hour.So in effect we were the only Indians there.Sissy, Thanks for the help in choosing my dress.Its was lovely and thanks for reminding me about the accessories.I bought a nice good high heels for myself.I was just disappointed that we couldn't wait to see the dance.To tell u the truth, i wasn't very comfortable to wait till that time.After the food, we waited for almost an hour and still there didn't seem to be any plan to dance any sooner..lol... It was just the people very close to them who were left by that time, all others had kinda left.So I almost was starting to feel out of place and we decided to leave.The bride looked gorgeous.I loved her dress.I'l post in detail later.Take care all.have fun.

I went to Chicago last weekend.It was fun.On saturday we went to watch a show by some Indian artists.It was really fun.There some actors from India.Though i wasn't very interested in going and went just cuz my dad insisted that i did, im really am glad i went.I really enjoyed watching the show.On Sunday i shopped,shopped and shopped again.But all i ended up buying were 2 t-shirts [one for Sj and one for my brother] and a skirt n top.The skirt n top are for the wedding this Saturday.This is the first American wedding im ever attending. always wanted to attend one.The weddings over here are very different from ours.I love the white beautiful dresses brides wear.Im hoping to buy one for myself when i have a job abd can afford one.I knows it sounds insane.But i really want one.The new skirt i bought is black, knee length and the top is white.I loved the skirt and the top, i just liked it.I cant say i loved it.But it was all i could come up with after shoppung for 3 hours.I went mad.Everything i found was either too short, or too deep at the neck or with string sleeves and im not comfortable wearing them.I wish i was thinner.Im 129 pounds now.sob.. sob.. There was this black dress i had liked and had a good fit too.But somehow i didn't buy that.I think too many black dresses i found there got me confused.Whatever!i have somemore shopping to do.There is a function at the temple on June 17th.We are dancing for the function.We started our practice yesterday.I have to go for rpactice today too.Hope u all had a great week end too.Have fun.enjoy your day.
