My Bucket List

Though the list may seem to have infinite things that i'd like to see, hear, feel, do, experience one last time, before departing from this "land of make your dreams come true", I will try and keep it realistic and limit to a finite number :)

- Hike while Sunset at Halfmoon Bay
- santa cruz - boardwalk
- party hard, dance till you feet hurt at an ultra lounge
- get from beginner to an intermediate level Salsa dancer
- Dine at Zeni/ Denny's/ Dish Dash/ Sino/ Thai
- go camping far far away from the concrete jungle into wilderness, nature at its unspoiled best
- Visit Pittstate
- Visit a Planetarium/ Observatory - Mt. Hamilton
- Run at a 10k Marathon
- an evening in SantanaRow
- night out in 'The City' downtown
- go cosmic bowling
- Take a Merc for a ride ;)
- Drive till i snooze

Hmm..a very honest advice. Don't treat this move as an end of all good things, but merely as the beginning of a new chapter. Why are you assuming you will never go back to the US or for that matter to an even better country? :) The more you think this way, the more difficult it will get to move.

totally agree.. . but it is the result of the feeling u get when u have signed the moving out agreement at rental office, selling ur car u r so fond of, all ur fav furniture, packing practically all the stuff accumuulated over 6 yrs stay here... n not hvin a return date in mind...
otherwise i am cool.. i am just gonna go when time takes me.. whether its bk to home sweet home india or the US again or a better place wherever.. i am not worried.. i will just miss being here.. n the blog is written totally emotionally.. i was not rally thinkin abt possibilites of what if this is not the end of stay here :D :) hehe
... n y would it b difficult.. i hv u there in india apart from many other niceties ;)

I agree on this with Divs totally..But I also undersatnd what Deepu is going through. Like to let go of all the stuff u owned to settle down comfortably is definatlely an intense pain..But having the hope that life is beautiful in your own land is very encouraging to move forward with the move..Deepu--I assure you that u will "just" miss the gang there and nothing else..One phase ends and another starts- as simple as that...Nevertheless how many have u covered on the Bucket list???? Keep all the postive points of India and take your flight..It'll be a smoooth fly through out...

COME soon.. it'll be sooo much fun to have u here with us...

Mindblowing experience – A realization

Literally! Blew my mind away… feels like there were two different worlds… a world that felt normal to me and then a bizzaro world! US of A and then India. i have penned down about a lot of ups and down in USA.. heres one, about a realization that occured after my Return to India. i wouldn't have probably felt it if not for my so long stay in the states away from India, relatives, hometown, country side, so called values, culture, traditions etcetera. Temples, poojalu, abhishekalu, temple visit poojalu, abhishekalu and repeat… fastinglu, cold showerlu (challaneella snanala punyalu), daiva bhakthi, mogudi ki sevalu… if not the above then the below illu, vanta, vantillu, pinnigaru, akkayagaru and santha… cheeralu nagalu poolu animanigi undatalu ive adadaani abharanaalu Ive adadaani prapancham… inkaaa… even this age …ee kalamo lo, ee 21st century lo … Lol so wat if it is 21st century Some people some places never want to change, never want to widen their horizons, and never want to thi...

Multi-Tasker or a Specialist

I have become a multi-tasking freak of sorts. It's like i have this obsessive compulsion to do more than one thing at a time or i feel like it is not a good use of my time and abilities. It's like tasting a lil bit of everything from the buffet than ordering A la carte one at a time. :D Things I have tried my hands at so far consciously or co-incidentally, passionately or professionally are drawing, painting, stitching, knitting,  playing keyboard, writing short poems, reading avidly, writing, interior designing, contemporary dancing, promoting sensible living with awareness, teaching, mentoring, counseling, Photography, DJing and of course blogging apart several other things. Sometimes I feel like a Jack(or a Jill) of all trades and master of none. I felt time wasted, I felt me wasted. But then, I realize my priorities are different at the present. At the moment and present circumstances my priority is not to be recognized as one of coolest DJs or an awesome dancer , or...

A Love Letter...

To my baby to be... As my amazing journey to motherhood continues, I went for my week 34 check up today and boy was i thrilled! to see my baby on the ultrasound machine. thanks to many wonderful inventions of man. I saw my baby who looked fully formed ready to hit the ramp to the big world outside mommy's tummy. I was so glad to know the baby seemed healthy, playful, arms moving as if waving a 'hello' to mommy and legs kicking as active as ever since my first ultrasound in week 11. tears of joy, feeling of ecstasy engulfed me. I so miss having vijju by my side to hug and share the feelings. ------------- Dear Buvi (as we fondly call our baby) I keep thinking of all the wonderful things we'd do after you come to this world. Being playful, being nice, being naughty, learning together, growing together, exploring world's mysteries together, loving and being loved by many. I am typing this, i call a love letter, as you grow inside of me, getting ready for your fabulous ...
