Its been long time since I updated this blog space. Been busy on few chores and little extra time was devoted to my new blog. I wish to devote time equally to both blogs in the future. 

And my lappy had gone wild and isn't working well for the past few days. Its driving me crazy. Supposedly there is some problem with the hard drive and on times when I want to work my laptop, it gets shutdown. That's also the reason why I didn't update this space for long. Hope I get it repaired soon. It had been dearer to me for more than three years! That was the first thing I bought after I joined my work.

And what kept me ecstatic during these laptop strike out days was our 'New Ipad'. We hadn't intended to buy the Ipad at this point of time. But my husband has some 'To-buy' lists in which he had this. Some others include his coveted DSLR camera, sports bike etc etc. Crazy but nice guy he is. Couple of weeks back, he tactfully convinced me and dragged me to buy the Ipad on the same day. I was dilly-dallying and was in a indecisive state on whether to get it or not. We got the Ipad in hand a week later. Even the first few days after we got it, I was not much into it. But believe me after I got hands on it, I am going gaga over it now.

I was having my Ipod, hence working on this Ipad was a lot same and easier. But its a lot more interesting than the Ipod. And the range of AppStore applications is amazing. Its now my one stop place for news, entertainment and fun. The ease with which you can install the apps and navigate through different things makes you get hooked to it. Very handy. One thing which I found difficult was typing long texts with the touch screen keyboard. But that doesn't have to bother me now as we've ordered for a bluetooth keyboard. There's no doubt I'll prowl over it now.

Hurray…after a lot of hiccups and pauses, my another blog child is born.

I’ve created a new food blog ‘www.sugicooks.blogspot.com’. This blog is not just about the chronicles of my experiments with food and cooking but more about the ‘Celebration of food’ and the good feel it brings into our life. Hope you read my new blog and support me in my new endeavor…

And to go on lines with this new blog, I’ve renamed my present blog as ‘www.sugiwrites.blogspot.com’.

Got these interesting two pics from FB. This should be the condition of most of the Indian couples abroad. And indeed, this is the state of both of us now!

This is one of those times where I have plenty of time at my disposal, yet don't know what to do. Feeling like a caged bird wanting to fly high up in the sky. I am not destined for just the role of a 'HW'. What example will I set for my daughter/ kids if I be complacent in this state? I want to let them know 'not to be deterred in your ambitions and passions whatever be the condition, wherever you are'.  

I can see my mom,mil and many others pondering years later now of the lost and precious times. And they believe its too late a time for realization now, after being habituated the role of HW for many years. Oh, I wish to revert this state of mine soon before I think its too late!

Wind chimes – their sounds are so pleasant to hear on a windy day.

Laughing Buddha – seeing it makes me instantly happy

Smell of agarbhattis/ scented candles – these aroma inside your house gives a divine and relaxed feeling

Bronze Vinayagar statue – heightened divinity

Floating candles in pot with flower petals – serene!

Fish tank – you can find one to the right side of my blog. I don’t have the heart to remove them.

Smell of sand when it rains – divine

Smell of petrol and crackers (sounds weird?!)

Small kids – I cannot resist watching those pinkish chubby cheeks, cute little fingers, two little ponies, cute dress and shoes

Car driving (but I haven’t drove one singlehandedly yet, apart from the learning classes which I did to get my license. Whenever I watch anyone driving a car, the wild side of me will feel like pushing him/ her out to the other side and jump into the drivers position)

Travelling - I'll never complain of having to travel anywhere long and hard. Truely adventurism! 

Shopping, even if it is aimless window shopping - the curious me!

Neat and uncluttered space in home and office desk

Good set of books - wish to maintain a good small library in home

Good relaxing music, particularly Buddhist meditation tracks

Cooking – the perfect creative outlet

And oh, I missed my latest ones…the ‘Nando’s chicken’ and ‘Fish and Chips’ eating outlet in Melbourne…gosh!, they are finger licking good! Perfect to have them hot and spicy on a rainy evening. Its raining incessesently here for the whole day and I am drooling to have them now!!

One more recent addition - yoga!
