.....

My husband will be flying to the USA next weekend on work and he will be back in December… I have mixed feelings about the whole thing really…
I am very happy and proud of him…. (I know it’s not a big deal when everyone other person flying out these days, but it’s a first for us, so we are happy!)
But, I will miss him terribly… I have not been away from him for more than 15 days since the day we met – and that’s like 7 yrs ago!!!
Ever since we became friends, we have been together – went out together, did stuff together… even after marriage, he is still my first choice (I’m not talking about sis, parents here) to go out anywhere… if he doesn’t want to go, I have willingly postponed going out so that I have his company later on when we do go out…
I hate going out alone without him anywhere (again, parents and sis are not being mentioned here)
…. And now, for 3 months or more I have to manage everything (OK, almost everything!) alone…
I am not afraid of going out alone, but I am sad that I have to do it alone…

** To whom will I crib every night while cooking about the so-called inefficiencies of the people in my project?
** Most importantly, who will do the tasting and tell me each and every time that the food is great, but go ahead and add that extra pinch of salt!!?
** Who will give out my daily dose of vitamins after breakfast every morning and make sure I pop that calcium tablet in mouth so that I won’t have too many problems later on?
** I will miss his goofing around in the house, him, being everywhere, fiddling with this and that…

The house will be silent…

** With whom will I discuss/fight about the singers in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa? I will have to watch that on Friday and Saturday nights alone….

I will miss everything that there is about him…

This sucks…

One of my friends’ said, this is the time for me to do as I wish, but that didn’t register since he has never come in the way of me doing anything I want… he has always encouraged it…

This really sucks…

Damn! I will miss him and I wish December comes quickly….

Tagged Again!

Grail tagged me, she wrote about the different things she admires in people. We seem to have lot many things in common which includes what we admire in other people! So, I will exclude what she has written and put up my list. You can read her remarkable stuff here.

-> I admire people who are always cheerful and hide their emotions from strangers. You know, the sort who doesn’t let on that something’s going on in their life/that particular day…
-> I admire people who can read and write Kannada very fluently. My mother-tongue is such a beautiful language.
-> My parents for sticking to their belief and not wavering even when things were rough for them.
-> My grandfather who was my first best friend. He died before he could see what sort of a woman I turned out to be. (He would have been so proud! I just know it!!)
-> Women who stand up for their rights against all odds and adversaries and win their battles.
-> I admire the really hard working types. Like my previous Team Lead. He used to word so hard and he was always cheerful and always ready to lend a helping hand – whatever be the situation.
-> I admire people who show respect to everyone and are not biased based on caste, gender or religion. (Religious tolerance now-a-days is so low and racism has reached an all time high).
-> I admire bloggers who write their mind and are not afraid to voice out their opinion about anything and everything. I also admire bloggers who have the knack of creating great banners, advertisements/changes to their template…
-> I admire people who don’t have any bad habits like nail-biting, hair twirling, cracking knuckles (you get the drift right?!). I always bite my nails when I’m unsure about things… so, a manicure is such a waste on my nails!!
-> Last but not the least – I admire my husband for his never-say-die positive attitude, for his ability to think calmly in most situations and for standing up to what is right and his caring and sensitive attitude.
-> I also admire one lady a lot – she is a single mother of 4 boys, her attitude is awesome and the way she writes, thinks has helped me so much. She manages to make me cry and laugh just by her posts and if she were any closer – I would invite her out and toast her with champagne! Yup, it’s Grail! :-)
-> Final one, I admire working moms (I have nothing against SHAMS – they are also great moms), but Working moms need to balance so much I think and need to do everything so correctly… And I’m terrified whether I will do it right when we have kids…

There! That’s my list – yes, its long… :-)
Anyone who stops by and hasn’t taken up this tag yet are most welcome to take it up!!

Long Vacation!!

Before I start publishing my posts - HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! :-)


Ok, I am back after a loooo...ng break and the reasons are
1. All the blog sites have been blocked at work ($#@%#$%^!) and we still don’t have internet at home… so basically, it sucks not having access to blog, blog-surf .
Also, even if I did have access at work – I have been swamped with a lot of things and have been very busy.
(Yes, I got the change I had asked for! And a raise!!! Yippee!!)
The new work is pretty taxing and tedious – but, it’s a change I wanted…
(Now if you think a rant is not coming, you are wrong! That, I’m quite sure will happen pretty soon too!!!)
I know I'm a month late on this - but, I still thought I'd put in my thoughts -
Now, has everyone read the new Harry Potter book? Did you all like it? The hype which surrounded the book – well, the actual book, I felt didn’t live up to it…
(Now, please don’t say rude things or bash me up on this… because I am a Harry Potter fan – and I have been waiting for the very last book since the day I finished reading the 6th book)
I still feel the sixth book was better – it was darker… the 7th book is a happy book – but she leaves so many things unsaid –
-> What happened to the Durselys?
-> How do Tonks, Lupin die?
-> What did Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny become after finishing school?
Don’t get me wrong – I loved the book and didn’t put it down till I finished it, but so many questions were answered and so many were left unfinished….

Also, my sister has done a post on Women’s rights and abortions here - http://wisegirl109.blogspot.com/
Go on and check it out…
It’s right on so many levels and people will have different opinions, but what she says kind of makes sense…

Grail tagged me to talk about things which I admire in others so that’s coming up next (I know it was so long ago, but I'm still taking it up)
This post is done at work - since today is a holiday we have access - but our team has to work today...
