Thanks to my boss, I haven't been writing here regularly... usually I blog when I have time to spare at work. What with work being so hectic and then coming back home being euphoric, I haven't had time to spare on the blog. Wanted to write about a lot of things from Obama to Kasav to the Chris Parent/Chris Child game that we played at work. Will stick to the wedding for now though...
Weddings are great if it's not yours and if you happen to be a girl, you get to shop and dress up and then walk around organising and having fun. You don't have to worry about whether this marriage will last or dread leaving your home and staying with a bunch of strangers...
Anyway, I had a lot of fun at this wedding... here are a few pictures ...
Vinod gave us all an awesome surprise by turning up just in time for the wedding...
It felt great to be back with the entire family...
This guy was so funny at the wedding... was so happy to see him havig fun and being himself.

This is how my brothers cut the birthday cake...

Bringing the bride home...

All set to welcome the Year 2009...

Taken after the New Year's Mass... (This method of photography was Nam's brilliant idea. Every time I come down here she finds a new way to pose for the camera...)
Here we are with the cousins...
Here are a few other picutures that I like...
The Bombay gang... only Tina could make it for the wedding, missed the other guys. Grandma was very happy to see all her kids...

All the cousins's at the birthday party...

Welcoming the bride, check out those flower girls, they were so pretty...

All the cousins...
All the weddings he goes to, Manoj takes a picture like this...
Isn't this neat? I like these intricate designs...

The book of life has passed on, look at them... each telling the other to open it. The cousins have started a great tradition, we (Tonio & me) received this book first, then it passed on to Tina & Jaison... now Manoj & Linda have to start their own discovery. Any idea, who's gonna get it next?

Hey Mazhalai, wishing you a great year too. Hope you had as much fun as I had. I can't seem to get out of the fun/home mood, work seems to drag after this long holiday I spent at home.

Tina, nice picture. Yeah, those guys crack me up, they just stabbed the cake. Anyway, let anybody get the book, as long as there is another wedding and I get to party again!

Nam, Manoj sure is funny, but I bet I would make a good life planner too...

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

6 pm come soooooooon!

So here I am sitting in office on a Saturday and wondering what to do…. I don’t mind sitting here though, everybody is so relaxed and nobody ever works, or maybe they do work, only it doesn’t seem like that. It’s actually quiet and peaceful; I guess everybody is pretending to work… like me. I have a huge list in my head about the things I want to do tomorrow, and going to the library tops that list. I just finished reading “Circle of Friends” by Maeve Binchy and I loved it. It’s a story about two girls who grow up together in a convent school and when its time to go to university in the big town of Dublin, they discover gradually that they can depend on each other and their convent school upbringing to see them through the trying times. It was beautifully written, and it struck so close to home. I picked up another M&B book along with this Binchy book and I am going to return it tomorrow without bothering to complete it. I read the first few pages and I wanted to find that author a...
