Shopping & Independence..

Had been thinking of going to the mall on my own for sometime.. knew i would spend money if i went there,but dnt care much today.... sometimes u just get desperate n there is no better mood lifter than shopping...

So i went to the mall with my friend who helped me with the info for using the public transportation,bless her... was quite easy.. and there i was in the Natick mall at 10:15 am! Never have I been so desperate to just get out of the house and be on my own... Picked up a pretzel for breakfast.. love aunt annie's pretzels... and then started my tour of the mall...

Got into Forever 21 shop.. i like this shop coz of there style n decent prizes...
took my own sweet time n tried on lots of tee's n shorts.. ended up buying one shorts n a tee... apparently am fat to fit in even in the "L" sized tee's too at this store...
Grrr... watever... i know i have become too lazy n need to work out n get into shape..
but am as lazy as Garfield....

hen i wandered off into the payless shop.. one more store which meets my requirements of a great store... great stuff at reasonable prizes.. went around looking for shoes for my Cinderella sized feet.. I hate it!
A sweet sales girl with small feet too understood my problem n helped me out...
And i picked up a graet pair of shoes and as i was getting it billed.. she said u can buy one more pair n get 50% off... I was worried,i dnt want to spend too much money so i said no.. den she gave me some great suggestion... n back i went for the 2nd pair of shoes... And after some search got a lovely pair of sandals... but was confused to buy them as they were already on discount on costed only 10$.. but guess what she gave me 50% discount of the already discounted sandals.. I was so HAPPY!!!

This sort of thing would never happen in India... I got 2 great of shoes worth 40$ just for 25$. how cool is that... I love USA for the shopping... Back in India its so much more expensive....

Caught the return bus home.. I felt so independent,felt like old days again....
I hope i get my work permit soon... So that i can work,be independent and shop on my own...!

There is so much more i want to do on my own..
Amen.

lonely...

Coming to US has been a challenge... Coming on L2 visa,the dependent visa is just an understatement of the the word "dependent"..
Many indian girls who are stay at home wives or who have never worked may eanjoy the change in scenario,but for people like me who may not have been big shots but atleast had a life apart from marriage,the dependency factor is just too much to ask....

Its been 4 months and am frustrated to the point of craziness... On top of that a husband who has little time for me..be it weekdays of weekends...

Its hard when ur lonely with the person u supposedly wanted to be with the most...
Love,marriage,feelings everything is so so over rated... weather it is a love marriage or an arranged marriage... some people just get lost in themselves....

One of my friend once said... its not love but just dependency between two people..
am starting to think he was right...

Rain Rain..!!!

Its been pouring here in Framingham since the last 2 days n it feels really nice... It feels like Bangalore weather,the sound of rain when u sleep and the coolness... :)

I decided to make something nice for the evening.. Onion pakoras was on my mind.. I am not a great cook nor a bad one either so once in a while it surprises me when some of them come out really well... And today was one of those days... The onions pakoras were delish!!!

N for the drink,i am not much of a hot drinks person i like only cold drink like iced tea or cold coffee... N recently i have taking an instant liking to green tea coz of its supposedly immense benefits,weight loss being one of them... hehheee..

So made some iced green tea for myself and enjoyed the pakoras...
check out the photos!

Confused and certainly disappointed...

At different stages of out lives we wish for different things... N when we do get few of those things do we really appreciate them to the max or in my opinion most of us just cnt of so many "social" obligations...

Got married 6 months back... My life has got restricted in so,so many ways...
Instead of getting more i felt i was getting less out of life... For girls its a "BIG PAIN" to just get uprooted from the only home they have ever known n just move into a new house.. And as one of my friend once said - just because it happens to every girl doesn't make the pain any less..
N then ur social life comes to a complete stop,why cause there are just too many obligations... the perspective of your family,career,friends absolutely takes on a lesser meaning than before..

It has to change,things have to get better for us... N i have decided i will try to change my situation as much as possible.. by hook or by crook.. :P

Life is just too short for us girls to miss out on our friends n fun too..

Random pictures

Have been absent from the blog for sometime deliberately..
Wasn't feeling very good about anything and things havn't improved to say the least...
Just felt the urge to vent out my feeling or rather frustration in particular so back to the writing pad...

Posting some random pictures takes over the last 2 months....

Need Hope...

All our dreams seems to be crumbling slowly and feeling really sad... We had counted on things getting better this year but they only seem to be getting worse....
Really scared to think what lies ahead now...

I am scared of being pointed fingers at too... Sooner or later it will boil down to me and they will blame me...
Hope god shows us a way n help us rebuild our dreams...
Amen.

Cn't get enough!

I love watching some the American TV series,i am not much of a "Friends" fan thought i was introduced to the TV series through it... I know a lot a people just LOVE LOVE IT..

But i did love the X Files,Desperate Housewives,How i Met your Mother,CSI,I shouldn't be Alive etc...
I knew about the Sex and the City series from a long time but had not really watched it... Though i had watched the movies "Sex and the City" and througly enjoyed it... Then i decided to download all the 6 seasons and watch it.... N should i say i have been just hooked to my laptop since i started watching it... I just love it!!

I am really sad that i am seeing the few last episodes of the last season i have...
Cnt wait to see the movie sequel too..
