7 days to go. Yippeee!! I have been fervently counting every single day, I never forgot about the count ever, all my waking minutes, the thought of the count was at the back of my mind. I am not sure if I looked forward to going to India the very first time from US, like this. Dont think so.
Last week was crazy, which has been the norm for the past few weeks. Top it with my paranoia and low self confidence, I am a walking stress bomb. I am so full of my own thoughts, I refused to even share them with DH. And if I just keep it within me, the weight of it all just brings me down, to the dumps. I am not always like this, just once a month or so.
Now, I mean right now, sitting at work, on the last Friday I will be spending here, trying to wrap up things, get some prep done for the pending reviews before we leave next week, finally, I am not as stressed. Not relaxed exactly, as I still have irking thoughts in my head about work, but not so stressed.
The bosses here were so reluctant to take us, spend time in ramping us amidst the crazy schedule of the project. But now, they are so happy with us, the appreciation means a lot to us and for our team. I got an award! They are soo happy with us, they wanted us to stay here for some more time. ;--) Noooooo way. Its not that I dont like it here, I do like it, especially the work, and the people too. But I need my weekends, to relax, to unwind as they call it, else I get too wound up and my stress levels sky rocket. Anddd yeah, I miss DH too. :--D
***
I have a jam packed schedule once I get back too. Our parents are coming! I felt terrible postponing their trip because of this trip of mine, but anyway its all over. If its 7 days to see DH, its 14 days to see Mom and Dad! And to be a big happy family for a few days, something that never happened after our wedding.
I know I am just rambling on and on, but its like a dam is broken, I just cant stop typing. This is what happens, if I get too wound up and suddenly unwind. :--P
***
I havent been to the gym in the past three weeks, and I can see the difference in me. The so called muscles, you never realize you have them until you lose them. Its pathetic. But everyday I get back to the room later and later, and with meetings in the nights, I have not been able to squeeze in time for gymming. I am really concerned about it, as once parents come, I am going to put on some pounds, and I definitely need some buffer for that, else I will hate myself. Oh and the food, hummus is the best! I can have bread and hummus and be happy all day. I have not been eating healthy. Eating out is never healthy. If I make something myself, no veggies, nothing, only carbs, no nutrition. So I need to set things at that front right, once I get back.

I have been watching movies during my not-working not-sleeping times. I watched some good old movies. Some movies I watched are:
Minsara Kanavu - Kajol looks young and pretty. I like her character in the movie too. Its a pity they dont carve such female characters nowadays.
Bombay - Manisha looked pretty in this movie. Arvind Swami looks young.
Mouna Raagam - Wow, Revathi is sooo amazing! I couldnt stand Mohan.
Anjali - Shamili is super.
Dhoom 2 - I watched recently, to see what is it about Aish that everyone hated in this movie. I guess since I expected her to be horrific, I found her bearable. She looks super hot.
Dum dum dum - Even Jothika looks pretty. ;--)
Alaipayuthey - Shalini is super. Madhavan, no words.
As I watched these movies and some others casting Asin, Trisha, and others I realized some things.
These people are beautiful not just because of their color or because they are thin with no extra pounds on them. Apart from that, they have good bone structure. The shape of the face, the way the eyes are set, the eyebrows, the most important nose, the lips as well I suppose, are what makes a person pretty. Oh I forgot, the skin too. Smooth, fresh looking skin also adds to the beauty.
Whenever I see Asin or Aish, I cannot stop thinking that God is most unfair to bestow soooo much beauty all on selected few. Why God Why?! (At this point you should imagine me saying it like Joey says in the everyone-turns-30 episode)
Thats the irrational me thinking of course. I do strongly also believe beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. And also in the heart of the person rather than on his/her face. Now that you can see only after you have been with a person, interacted with him/her for long enough to see it.
Long diversion from the topic in hand, but hey thats me, as always.

Ok now, what am I looking forward to doing once I get back home.
Go on a long drive with DH, the weekend I land. After that parents will be home, but we want to go out alone once.
Watch House, Two and a Half Men, DH has saved them for me, on our TV, I miss it, Dasavatharam, Dont Mess with Zohan.
Drive my Accord, hit the gas on an empty highway, with some good music in high volume. I am sick of Hebrew music and their crappy voices and the bumper to bumper traffic.
Cook some home food.
I want to eat, thayir sadham, sambhar, my beans curry, Chappathi!
Go to Borders.
Go to friends' place and chat till my jaws ache. Here, weekends, there are some days I have spent not talking to anyone.
One thing I dont look forward to doing is..cleaning up the place before parents come. Thinking of getting a maid to do it, I have no clue how DH has been keeping the place ;--). He has promised to clean up a bit before I come, but it is better I get a maid. In laws are coming home for the first time, parents are coming for the first time, I dont want anything to go amiss!
Here ends my rambles.

OK's post on meanness, reminded me of one mean thing I have done, or rather been partner in crime to DH. I dont know if it exactly qualifies. There was this girl who was head over heels in love with DH in college. Me and DH were best friends. She used to tell me all her 'feelings' and I used to tell everything to DH. DH didnt like her that way and both of us used to play some silly pranks on her. I once talked to her on the phone pretending to be this made-up girl that DH fancied. Then she would crib to me about the same girl, and I would pacify her! And some other things. Now I know it was not very nice of us, we were playing with the poor girl's feelings. But it was fun nevertheless. |

Vanngo vaango vanngika vaango! This time I am sure I got it correct.
In any case have you seen Asin's eyes? They actually sparkle. And Trisha has such yummy skin.
Minnsare kanavu is the worstest movie I have ever seen. "Dum dum dum" is super no:)?
If you are parents are coming they will clean up no? My mom invariable has this jet lag issue and so she is up at 4.00 AM cleaning my bro's house.
And that was funny:D. Cha yen kita yaarum sikalaya enda madri:)

"Even Jothika looks pretty"...should be the hummus working in mysterious/ hallucinating ways! :D

Mean? You were down right brilliant. Wish I'd got some bright ideas like these.
As Joy said, "all is fair in love and war."
..and thanks for the heads up. If I see a crazy fast Accord a few days from now, I'll park on the shoulder and wait for it to pass.
..And belated B'day wishes.
