Tired and Exhausted!

It has been a busy day today. Did laundary, made pakora karhi (i should have gone for something more simpler today but *sigh*), prepared gajar ka halwa (carrot halwa), bought some house hold stuff. Now i am too exhausted and just want to jump into my bed. Tomorrow is a long day. My paternal uncle is coming for the weekend and i have to do lots of chores tomorrow. Detailed cleaning, cooking, sorting the washed/cleaned clothes, knead dough for roti and the list goes on and on. As we have to show him Austin too so i have to prepare some dishes in advance as i wont get any time for it on the weekend. God help me!

Just here and there!

After a lot of brainstorming, i have finally decided upon my blog URL and here i am, blogging my first ever blog. Believe It, Say It, Live your life and chase your Dreams, the philosophy of my very simple life. Ever since i got married and moved to Austin, my husband has been trying to put me onto something constructive and creative. So apart from applying all my ingenuity over my culinary and household skills, the idea of starting my own blog seemed quite appealing to me. Getting married, leaving my family behind and moving abroad had not been an easy task for me. But as they say that time is the best healer, i had my first wedding anniversary this December Alhamdulilah and now as i look back, it seems as it was just yesterday when i was busy in my wedding preparations. Time flies, people adjust to the new circumstances and thanks to my husband, he made my first year over here very pleasant and amiable. Being the daughter of an army officer, i am quite accustomed to the idea of moving to new places and making new friends. This helped me a lot when i shifted here. I have found new friends (although being a social bee, i am in contact with all my old acquaintances) and have adjusted well in the new environment. When i initially moved  here, i used to get homesick a lot. But with applications like Skype and Messenger (courtesy of Internet), i get a chance to have video chat with my family back home at least once a week. Also through social networking sites such as Facebook, i can remain connected to all my friends and family almost all the time. Thanks to these amenities, i don't miss my family as much as  i used to do before. Its   11:30 p.m (CST) here and date is 01/12/2011. Wow its an interesting date, just noticed as i wrote it down. Having just 0,1 and 2 's. Its been 12 days since the start of the new year. I really hope that 2011 is more pleasant and blissful for me and my family than 2010. Looking forward to welcome all the new excitements that this year has to offer for me with open arms. I guess its time for me to sign off as i can hardly keep my eyes open now. Good night everyone, Sweet Dreams!
