It’s been a hectic and busy month. Work showed no respite, it never does, I guess its time I should stop hoping too.
Aman’s side of the family came visiting. And like good hosts we packed them all and took them to Coorg. (Pics are up on FB and Orkut, one on the header up there). Lush, green and raining. The heat tortured souls from North of the country couldn’t have asked for anything more. We stayed in the interiors of Coorg, in the midst of the coffee plantations. Lovely food, awesome weather and the most scenic surroundings. It was picture perfect.
We also did a quick 2 day trip to Chennai. For the uninitiated, the Bangalore – Chennai highway is splendid, be it the road or the landscaping. Parts of it are quite a delight. Chennai was horrible. I am sure the city is nice, but the weather was pathetic, and that for me is such a put off. For that reason I truly couldn’t enjoy it. It was sticky and humid and hot. You know the kinds where your own hair and skin irritate you.
For the good deed of the month – I forgo my official tour to Singapore to be with Aman’s side of the family. Now isn’t he lucky to be married to me?
For the highlight of the month – Younger sister has finally moved to Bangalore, bag and baggage. If you remember I was upset a while back and this was the reason. But now she is here and I couldn’t have been happier.
And yes, for the achievement of the month, I have learnt swimming. As in I have moved ahead from just the playful splash splash. I still have a long way to go, but who says I can’t rejoice small achievements.
I have missed blogging and reason being the lack of time. I have also missed reading a lot of your blogs, but I am doing the catching up. Bear with me all.

Hey bhartiya nari with supreme sacrificing spirit,
blog more often
hey welcome back to blog land...
that was nice of you to sacrifice the trip to singapore...but do own up and say that you have been there before..isn't it?
The header pic looks really good...r u on tht Nisargadama bridge[atleast I think thts wht its called]....I've got pics on tht bridge too:-)). I've been to coorg with friends[1 friend's father had coffee plantation there]...we had a super time. Loved the climate & the laid-back lifestyle.....but my friend never liked it there & used to run off to b'lore. Like they say, green is always greener....:-)).
Lack of time is good...coz it means u r living it:-)).
