Lovely Weekend

The bright spot in my life now is the weekend. I mean it was like that before too but now that S is here there is some force to push you out of the house. Last weekend I went to cloud lan canyon to celebrate S's birthday. It was so very different, a nice 8 mile hike and we reached a scenic spot. The canyon expanded into a vast expanse which was Tennessee. At the very spot S cut the cake I baked. It was quite nice. Quite a different birthday. The fall colors added to the beauty. We watched Michael clayton in the evening and then went over to another cake cutting ceremony. Of course sunday came and I slept. My body was too tired to do more. Atlanta has a new Saravanabhavan. The crowd to get in was a mile long. I was losing my patience but except for the wait, the dosais were great. Of course SB is only good for the dosais. Other things aren't that good. The bisibela was a disappointment. Well that gets me thinking, woodlands is probably the best place for bisibela. Anyway talkin

Cbe was a dramatic change from madras, bombay a huge change from CBE and SSN and Pittsburgh, huge changes from what I've ever seen. Now I'm married. I'm actually a Mrs! Of course I have not changed my last name. I have not moved to a new town or found a new job but I have an entire new person in my life whom I meet during weekends. It's tough to suddenly do all this traveling and all the expenses. It's a little overwhelming. Before the wedding we were meeting twice in a month and now it's twice for each person to travel each month. I also feel guilty as I have no time to catch up with any of my friends in the US. They probably all think I'm a mean, self-centered pig. If any
