Chavathi

We celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi in a grand way ok not so grand but a nice way over here in San Jose. This is the first time I am celebrating it for the first time with my husband after our marriage. We woke up quite late on chavathi as we had attended a cousin's babyshower the previous night. But the moment I was up, I was all enthu about what all to do on that day ! Kind of was nostalgic thinking about how we celebrate it back home in India :) I quickly had my bath and did some small puja to lord ganesha by lighting the lamp and chanting some prayers.


Then I made some sweets. I made modak at home and offered to ganapati as naivaidya.
Then we went to the temple. This whole week is going to be grandly celebrated across the world in HIS remembrance and so yesterday too we visited a temple and had good amchigele temple food.

After a long time I visited a ganesha temple on tuesday and that too in US..!!!
All in all I had a wonderful time on that day :)

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi !

Independence

Lots to catch up since I last blogged. In my last blog, I was complaining about getting stressed etc while learning to drive. Well, you know what I got my driving license. We also got a new Honda Cr-V, okay its not totally new but another vehicle of ours. So I now drive my husband's Civic to work. It gives a lot of independence, when I can come home or go to work on my timings. Dont have to depend on my darling to pick or drop me..!

Driving

These days am preparing for my driving test !!! my my am i stressed or what..of course I am, the anxiety of the test and to be able to do well is quite high..also my husband bechara is going crazy guess sometimes he's more stressed than me..but he sure does take it out on me when we go for practice...hehe..Sometimes it gets on my nerves and then i feel like i dont want to do it anymore..i mean driving practice..or for that matter driving..then i calm myself down and say to myself everything is going to be fine and its fine if R yells at me or gets angry as its part of the game..i mean teaching driving..!

So we had gone for a drive yest n evening after work and it was quite late and he got hungry so we went over to a friends' place for dinner. They've a very very cute daughter esha lately born but even she was a bit cranky due to incomplete sleep..i love kids and this one's special ..i know her even before she was born..through R..

We had awesome food and were very late to sleep..then morning was a big rush and i was kind of irritated with the wireless not working and me getting late to office. But my husband was so cute..and he offered some workaround for the n/w problem and his smile puts all my worries to rest..

So thats it from me for today..until now..enjoy!
