Excited about getting the house possession

By
On Saturday, August 7th, we got the keys to our new house for woodwork. This is the moment we have waited for and are very excited to see how the final product will look once the woodwork is done. We visit the site every 3-4 days or so to monitor its progress and it is coming along rather well.

Like most of the new sites in Bangalore, there is Cauvery water and it won't be there till the next phase of Cauvery canal is completed sometime in Nov 2011. Long time!! Till then, we will be relying on the borewell and tanker water.

Abhinav is already excited about the "new" house. He is looking forward to sleeping in his swanky new bunk bed. He is debating whether he would have liked the ladder (like has in his new bed) or preferred stairs to reach the top of the bunk bed. Well, now he has no choice :-)

I have been playing about 45 minuted to an hour of basketball everyday and that is providing me with a very good workout. Yesterday, I played with couple of 10th standard students and they literally showed me how much out of shape I was plus my lack of stamina. I hit few good shots but the aim and strength declined rapidly thereafter. I really need to improve my fitness in such things not just the gym fitness.

English Vinglish - My Review

By
This movie looked very promising from the promos.  It seemed like this movie would be an uplifting one and after watching the movie, I can safely say that it was. This is a story about a woman, a housewife, a mother (Sridevi) who is constantly chided by her husband and her daughter for not being able to speak English.  She felt as if she is unable to please her close ones with what she does.  She runs a small catering business from home. One day, she gets a call from her sister in the US to visit her as she needed Sridevi's help for her daughter's marriage.  Sridevi would have to go alone to a foreign land (her close ones would be coming late). She is dreading her visit to US alone since she does not know English. Once in the US, she is not able to communicate and gets a bit disheartened by it.  Once while visiting a place in New York, she saw an advertisement on a bus about learning English in 4 weeks.  She quietly decides to join these classes wi...

India Vs USA

By
I have been meaning to write on this topic for a while. Ever since I arrived to USA for my undergraduate studies, I have heard arguments between Indians born in the US about what is bad about India and Indians living in India who find bad things, or things they can laugh about and point to say that people are the same everywhere. Having been in the US and India almost an equal amount, my thinking is a bit different on this. I am more indian as far as thinking is concerned i.e. more social, less win at all costs etc. type of thinking. So, my thinking follows the perspective of those Indians living in India. My brother(s) waste no time in telling me how this or that is not right in the USA. Admittedly, that is true. You can always find things that are not good in the US. However, one thing we Indians should keep in mind is that there are a lot of things in India we need to fix first. For example, when we are in India, we keep our house clean but when we are out, we throw garbage o...

Thoughts on perception amongst people on Narendra Modi government

By
I am going to specifically direct this blog post to Narendra Modi & Amit Shah.  Being a huge fan of both, I would like to point out a sense of disillusionment creeping in in the Aam janta.  There are various perceptions amongst people, some true and some untrue.  Let me highlight a few of those: Narendra Modi is only moving in foreign lands, giving speeches to NRIs and ignoring the Indians in India Narendra Modi is saying that we have achieved almost zero corruption in government offices, that things in India are already awesome in the first 18 months etc Congress is going to town saying that this government is more for corporates than for the Aam Aadmi and I know of many BJP supporters who are actually believing it Narendra Modi promised to bring back black money but I don't see any results on the ground Frustration amongst BJP supporters that opposition propaganda is not being countered effectively No people have gone to jail for corruption which was the ma...
