Time flies!

In keeping with my earlier post, how time flies! It is more than a year since I wrote something here, although I always make mental notes to write about certain topics (which, obviously don't make it here!) and then I live life and there is never any time!

In this one year, I have grown some more, learned some more lessons, changed careers, visited my country one more time (although I swore to visit next only in 2010), travelled more than I have cumulatively in the past few years and learned to pick to my battles (at last!).

The fact that people mellow down as years pass by and that they grow wiser is true - I can see the changes in myself... To say that I have changed is an understatement. But I like it, and I am sure my near and dear ones like it too.

Today is also my second wedding anniversary. How time flies! It seems just like yesterday when I met my husband. I keep reliving those magic moments, those times of transition and realization when we decided to give this a shot! And I cannot thank God enough for the blessing that is my husband and all the happiness that has come with him.

Well, time to sign off, but I have learned one more important lesson during the past year - it is VERY important to take the time to SMELL THE ROSES!!!

Ciao!

Of sodas...

B and I were driving back home yesterday after an entire day of walking around stores hunting for a good TV stand.... and then, all of a sudden, I had this craving for sugar and orange soda.... So, he bought me one of those and as we were driving back, I was telling him about an incident at work where one of my co-workers had not heard of Fanta at all... We started talking about sodas and the stuff we used to get in India- stuff like Thums Up, Goldspot, Limca and Pepsi.

And then, all of a sudden, he mentioned something that sent me into peals of laughter - Kalimark! Who would believe that someone could name their drink "Kali Mark"? LOL - Another name he reeled out, as I was struggling to gain control of myself was "Jigridanda". This sent me into another bout of laughter.... What were people thinking when they were coming up with names for these 2 drinks?

Anyone heard of these 2 drinks, or even better, has anyone tasted them (other than B)?
