A Wednesday
Good Tidings to all.
Autumn has to be one of the most beautiful seasons in the year.
Things to get you to smile a little: seeing leaves floating down onto the highway or birds going absolutely crazy or when I manage to drive 5-6 cars ahead of the Lexus 2009 in the left lane or when the big brother truck on your right hand side stays there till you drive ahead of them.
With AIG on the verge of collapse, Lehman brothers already collapsed, Mamata Banerjee screwing over West Bengal with the whole Singur situation, the Delhi blasts, the Indian nuclear deal that does not seem to be balanced, the floods in Haiti & Texas - all these disasters, make you wonder whether this is really the Apocalypse. I feel like shutting my doors and windows; huddle beneath my blanket and sleep.
Of course I cant do that so the next best thing is to search for something - anything good and almost always I find it. Nothing big or miraculous - watching the leaf floating down willy-nilly onto the highway is enough to calm me down and make me smile. Basking in the early morning rays of sunshine while stuck in traffic and listening to "Rock On" or when I am being checked out for the beautiful woman I could be are just some Feel Good Moments I have.
Life is not always sunny but it doesn't have to be dark always either. Just random thoughts.
Hugs.

Indian Festival Season - I love it
Wishing all Happy Ganesha Chaturthi and Greetings for Ramadan.
As years go by, Ganapati has become more important to me. Holding on to my Indian Tradition and culture. That is a little difficult considering I grew up in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I am a Non - Resident Indian, Global Indian and another tag (the one I love to hate) is "dog" from a popular muhaavara - " dhobhi ka kutha na ghar na ghaat ka" .. :). Oh well you live with it.
Recently been having cravings to settle down, maybe it is that stage or age where your homing instincts start screaming out or most of your friends are having babies or married or in relationships. Who knows by the time I turn 40, I may open a restaurant or tailoring store or both because I am cooking and stitching so much... ... Shift Topic: My way of keeping in touch with India is to scour all news about India or related thereof. Mumbai being my favorite place to read about..... ...
Shift topics - Sri Ganesha is getting more and more beautiful as time goes by. All the pomp and splendour - looking forward to celebrations is always good. All this makes some of our worries float by.
On a more serious note: Would anyone know of anyway to donate for the Bihar Relief (clothes, canned food and items of that sort).

The Beginning
#1. Tenet of World - the Beginning is always difficult, but you need to start somewhere. So this post is just going to be a little tiny spurt and hopefully gain speed as time goes by or fade away. :). How pompous does that sound. My name is Neeta, working as developer in good Old US of A. This blog is my path to immortality. The higher ups have indicated that if I keep a record of all of my life's events I will live forever (as stated in "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk). Regards, more painful writing to come later.
