3 idiots

What a great movie it was! I am so glad I watched it. It was very well made with great cast and very good sense of humor. We both usually have to change hindi movie on BW cinema after 30 minutes or so( I can tolerate more.. but he can take for no more than 30 minutes) and this movie felt like breath of fresh air. Amir- I am his fan now.. He is sooo cute in the movie. What I like about him is that he tends to do movies with a message and this was not an exception. In my opinion, It is so true that in India if you are someone other than Engineer or Doctor, there is something wrong with you. Statistics show that India has highest population of Doctors and Engineers( anyone surprised?). A lot of talented people who can be really good at for example playing Drums or can be a good teacher are forced to join Engineering college or a Med school. It would be so nice if our young generation is given a chance to be what they want to be and do what they want to do. I do not doubt that talent used at right place can do wonders and if there are movies like this, hopefully things will improve and we will see a decrease in number of Engineers who actually never persue Engineering as their profession.

Love for Tea!

One of the first thing I want in the morning is Tea. My love for Tea is old. I do not even remember when first time I got hooked on to having cup of tea in the morning and cup of tea in the evening.May be got it from my mom because if she does not have her tea she is not a happy camper( trust me) . In India when I was a kid, that was just the tradition having a nice cup of tea with biscuits( came from British I guess) or some spicy snacks and that will complete our evening. 5'0 clock tea time.. Parle- G/Britania/Nice time are one of my favorites. As I am thinking more.. may be it is the biscuits I want more than tea( ok. ok. I am getting distracted .. my sweet tooth uh..) .My Dad makes very good tea and I miss that so much. I sometime tried to rely on Amit to give me a cup of tea in the evening ( I was successful sometimes, but not always.. ) .Till today, I do not understand how he drinks black coffee and he does not understand my love for tea. Anyhow, now the change is that I started to like coffee( definately with milk). Every weekend I just want to have a cup of coffee with him, sit on our couch and just chit chat. I know my love towards tea is fading and I have found my new love- Pure, aromatic, soothing cup of coffee... but when time for craving comes- tea is my true love..

Happy Holidays!!!

What a great time of the year! Everyone is in such a good mood( mostly), Shopping Malls full of people trying to rush and trying to buy gifts for their loved ones, Retailers showing emotional ads on TV( like Kay Jewelers.. every kiss begins with Kay) and knowing it all, I still give a look to Amit hoping that he will understand my " look" but he is clueless..( atleast I think.. may be that is the trick). Christmas Tree in my neighbours windows, lights on the stairs and wreath at every door just makes feel festive. Speacially this is our first Christmas in our house and I am just excited about having friends over and share this joy with us.. We are trying to cook some classic American meal and honestly, bit nervous about it. Amit suggested that why not do a combo of American and Indian receipes but I could not imagine Ham with pulao... So lets see how it turns out tomorrow.. but however it turns out I know that our friends won't mind ( that's why they are called friends.. right?) .
Also , Having New year around the corner and Christmas almost here, I just think of things which I am thankful for. I am thankful for having wonderful people around me who cherish me, love me and always there for me. .. This has been a wonderful year and I await for many more wonderful years ahead. Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!!!
