Feels good to be me....

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?

hahahaha.. Tina, Thank You.useless female! and organizing you did cause you appointed yourself the wedding planner..in Manoj's very own words "Kavitha please, you're only the wedding planner.. not life planner."

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...

Nice Ad....

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....

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

The Last Girl (2017) by a Yezidi survivor, Nadia Murad, is filled with the bone-chilling sort of evil that the ISIS is synonymous with. Nadia poignantly captures the plight of her Yazidi village, Kocho, as the threat of ISIS looms large in the distance before becoming a reality. As with the Holocaust, no one really anticipates the amount or intensity of evil that could reside in the indoctrinated hearts of men. Otherwise, nobody would willingly stay back in their towns or villages waiting for the genocide of their race. One of Nadia’s brother’s, Hezni, did try to go Germany, by crossing the northern Iraqi border on foot into Turkey, from where they (the brother and a few others) made their way to Istanbul, then paid a smuggler to take them into Greece. But they were discovered and had to spend a horrible time in prison. So, the fact is people did try to leave, but like Nadia explains, it isn’t easy to leave the only place one has ever known. I still think that being forced to

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
