Super Student indeed

Friday, son came back with Super Student of the Month award and he got to lunch exclusively with the principal. His parents, obviously were thrilled to bits. Though, till now, don't really know what he exactly achieved to get that award......to us, he never ever studies, always busy with his legos, psp or Discovery.

This Saturday went in a rush of shopping haze. I haven't shopped for an Indian get up in years. Some sarees and kurtis here and there sufficed. A party invitation sent me to some exclusive Indian garment shops in Artesia. While browsing through some salwar selections, came across this beautiful lehenga - deep pink and black. Felt like a bride wearing it. Bought it - the whole exercise of choosing, trying, getting it fit, matching jewellery etc etc was more thrilling than the party itself, which incidentally was a dead bore. Loads of people, free drinks, and lots of noise. Sushi was the only interesting part in the whole affair. And my outfit :)

An Era gone by

I have never blogged. I have been following some, astounded at the flow of expressions that flow from the heart of so many. Giving away so much, yet so little. I have never chronicled my days of my life either. I wish I had - the pages would have been easy to flip and then colour them anew. Now all that remains are memories - of shared innocence, of jubliant triumphs that meant so much at that moment of time, of agonising pain of childhood dissapointments, of relief that some tasks are over. Ah! Innocence, of pretend playing, of missed opportunities, best friends and mortal enemies - all have now blended into a one whole picture getting hazy over time. Reasons do not mean so much any more, laughs over those eventful days more precious. Some life changing decisions taken in a split of a second, the magnitude of the moment not registering for so long.

An era gone by.
