For the past 2 months the only job that I do is cooking.Though I do not want to call it a job :-)
I have realised how cooking can be a pleasure when you cook for others.
Every week I try out a couple of new recipes atleast and I am really happy when I hear kausthu saying its awesome or when his friends say the dish you made for us the other day was superb and ask me for the recipe.
Thanks to google , all recipes are available online with video instructions and it is equivalent to my mamiar or amma teaching me a new recipe.
I hope I try out as many cuisines as possible in the years to come though am confined to Indian alone currently!!!

I MISS...
Since my childhood I have never imagined my life outside India , chennai to be precise.
But God has made his own plans :-)
Previous blog , I had mentioned my mixed emotions after kausthu left for CA.
Now I ve joined him and this has made me the happiest person right now :-)
Life here is not much different to me from chennai.One major difference is that I am becoming a typical house wife, which is temporary.
Probably a break , in kausthu s words :-)
I am not missing Chennai much with him besides me.
But ofcourse I miss the crowded streets and cows and crows.
I miss my scooty and rides on the thunderbird.
I miss the weekend outings with my friends and the bday parties.
Though I do not go to many kutcheris, I will miss the december season concerts and hype and festive atmosphere which chennai is proud of!
I used to crib about my work, but i miss the early morning and late evening bus shuttles when i used to enjoi the solitude.
I miss the tea breaks and lunch breaks and evening snacks just before the shuttle.
I miss the late saturday brunch at home after watching a late night movie at satyam/inox on friday.
Tears pour down when I think of the lunch and dinner my mother(s) (god will not forgive me if i consider kausthu s mom as in law!!) fondly prepare for us when we are tired after an exhausted day at work.
I really miss those strong words of comfort which we recieve from our parents and the sense of closeness and affection which we feel in their presence.
I miss those days with my friends when we used to have hour long chats about nothing :-)
I miss my mother tongue and weekend visits to shirdi sai baba temple!!
Its too early, I know, but I miss dear chennai a lot!!!
Now for some good thoughts.
We have some really good friends here, his colleagues, who are ever ready to help us , whenever we need.
They make our lives easier here and our weekends fly when we are with them!!!
We are enjoying life here though life is not the same as in chennai.
Still this is a new phase which enriches our life with new experiences as we meet new people.
Waiting eagerly for the long weekend trip and more blogs to follow.
Signing off in a happy mood as only three days are left for the long weekend :-)

LONG TIME NO SEE!!!
I am totally jobless these days..precisely 20days..
I dunno why I forgot this dear space of mine...
So a short recap of what s happening
July 2nd Kausthu travelled to CA
And since then my life has changed...for good and bad
I ve been enjoying thoroughly wud be cruel to say.
But initially I was loving the stay at my parents place
until I became restless.
To pour oil in the burning fire I was relieved earlier
from Wipro and unfortunately my travel is geting postpond day by day
There used to be days when I wanted to sit like this at home but of course
with him near me.
Half of my wish has come true at the wrong time!!!
I am just trying to keep myself occupied and have not succeeded much!!
Looking around for orphanages or kinder garden school where I can work for sometime
Lets see if i succeed!!!

June-1
Well June-1 2009 has become an unforgettable day in my life not for good reasons.
My old project got over and I entered a new team and am gonna work on a completely different feature from what I was working previously.
I really dont mind in spending time and learning new concepts but I need time for that which is not available here!!
Right on day 1 am expected to read the entire docs and start working on it when the basic concept itself is so vague to me.
Oblivious of this fact I am struggling and putting my best foot forward with no one to give KT on the project or the features handled.
I feel guilty to have been given this daunting task of working in this project at the very last moment and during a very critical phase but the trust they have on me is motivating me a little and wanting me to do my best!!!
Hope I do the best!!!

Wanna go back to school!!!
I had a wrong notion during school days.
That its fun once we start working as we need not study
Now I am ready to slog for hours studyin,rather than work,
especially when I have no sense of satisfaction that I am doing a
good job!!!
I am just dumbstruck to see different kinds of ppl..
I was thinking that I had enough experience during college
to know and understand ppl.
But only when I entered office did I realise,THE WORLD IS FULL OF SURPRISES.
I have so much to say that I dont want to put them in words here ,
rather take some actions or share a piece of my mind with ppl
and make them realise they cannot be worse!
Let me stop bfore I start usuing filthy words for the first time in my life!!!
GOD BLESS THOSE PPL!!!

COLLEGE LIFE
College life does not hold very special memories for me...
Except for hostel and train travels...
Brighter side of college...I had wonderful times at the hostel for 3yrs
and final year was equally enjoyable in trains.
Purposedly I am not discussing about my class as I did not have any great fun there.
Except for very few close frnds,my class has always been boring.I am sure most of my friends would accept this fact.
But life outside college has been wonderful...with UPs and DOWNs
I made some very good friends and unfortunately lost a few.
Hostel life made me realise how diverse people can be.
I understood people and experienced the saying "Appearances are Deceptive".
Although I missed my parents,my friends made up for it and there has never been a dull moment when they were around.
Sometimes,I repent for not having a wondeful time in college campus though
I cannot blame anyone.Maybe I can blame only FATE.

Changes that marriage has brought in me
Before Sept 16th 2007
----------------------
Life used to be carefree.I used to be a happy go lucky gal roaming with my frnds, spending quality time with parents.No responsibilities at home also.Everything came to my place just when I ask for at home.Pampered spoiled brat I used to be :-)
Many might not believe,but Kausthu knows the transformation I have underwent (and its still happening).Right from making bed,to packing lunch ...very few days I used to do all this.Still,I was given atmost importance ,My opinions were highly respected and accepted (else I wouldnt ve married kausthu na :-) ).Everybody used to be surprised to see de way my dad used to pamper me in this age :-)
All this said,it does not been that I do not know my manners.I have been brought up well,know how to treat people and respect all...Thanks to my parents.
After Sept 16th 2007
---------------------
Before marriage I used to be so scared about my married life and how well I would adjust with all.
The transition was smooth...thanks to my in laws.They made me feel a home.In fact I am more pampered here :-)
Then in April 2008 we(myself & kausthu) shifted to our new place.
The very first thought of taking all the resposibilities scared us.
Ofcourse my inlaws are nearby and they will be there to help us out.Still right from preparing food before going to office till locking the doors properly...all needed additional attention!!!
Day one was tragic...Food didnt turn out prply..but kausthu was encouraging...
Then slowly a week went by and we got adapted to our new home.
We invited our parents for lunch and they were proud of us!!!
Months went by and we celebrated varalakhmi veradam,navarathiri at our new place.
Relatives were happy to see us as a responsible couple.
Certain things still go out of our way..Few months we spend very lavishly and then feel guilty for not making any savings for that month.
Still we are in the learning process.Both of us share the responsibilities and triffle fights might occur if one does not finish his/her work.
Married life is not so easy...Though ours was love marriage,we discovered more about each other's likes and dislikes only after marriage.
Every day is new and has lot of surprises in store.
I know this is just a day to day happening but I have not seen it written anywhere.
Its a nice feeling to write
