My First Posting

Hiyaa,
Its been quite a hectic weekend actually. I think, I have started to accept the fact that my weekends are busier than the week days. Almost, all the slots of the days (from early mornings to late night) are kind of reserved for some kind of activity or the other, such as doing laundry, getting groceries, calling India, catching up on the magazines which keep coming and coming, and over and above all, try to have a decent social life. Most of the times, we try to do all the socialising over Saturday, so that we can just be at home on Sundays, watching movies and of course, moaning the fact that the next day is Monday and that our weekend is all gone. Anyway, yesterday was one such Sunday, where we were invited to a Tamilian home for lunch. Greedy that I was, it was too difficult to resist .

Anyway, hope you are all doing good. The election fever is really getting to everyone here – any Indian I talk to out here has to offer his/her 2 cents of advice on who will be PM ! Times of India has also become quite aggressive in its headlines now a days – a recent one being : “Less than 250 : Vajpayee will declare, Advani will bat on!”

Next weekend is the Bay to Breakers run. This is a fun run in SFO for about 6.5 miles. The best part of the run is that there will be lots of activities happening all along the course and so, one wouldn’t feel as tired as one would normally. Till now, it looks like I am the only one who is going – I have tried to cajole all and sundry to run : looks like they all have other important things to do .

O yeah, I don’t know how many of you know this – there is this interesting concept called Blogging. Google owns this site http://www.blogger.com where you can post your Blogs and have others read it later on. For instance, I have put this email as a blog, so that you can check out what I mean and the URL is http://thyaga_susmita.blogspot.com/

Chalo, thats it from here – take care and have a great week ahead.

Love
