I know I am late, but hey! its still January! :) So, Happy New Year to all you folks out there. New year resolutions? what are they? :P. I had promised myself long time back that I would stay away from resolutions of any kind :D. So, no resolutions!
Like every year, 2010 has started with waiting for the Aussie open to start! haha! I can't wait. Will bore you guys more about that soon.
But lets talk about a different game for a change: Tarneeb. For those who don't know, its an Arabic card game me and my husband are crazy about. Guys! you must try that game. We are addicted to it, thanks to our wonderful Arabic friends Beaker and Dania and of course our desi gujju partner, Tanmay! yay! :). So if you are bored and are looking for some interesting card games to fill that space in, try Tarneeb and let me know if it managed to capture your interest like it did to me.
Ok.... gotta go for today.... will catch you all later. Meanwhile, try Tarneeb! :)

Long time no post! :D
Looks like I have been away for ever! haha.... sorry guys! got very busy with GMAT and stuff..... But I got some news to share with you all!
First of all, as most of you now know, we bought a house. That means, we are in debt for the rest of our lives. But we figured rather than throwing all the money in the gutter as rent, we much rather buy a house (at least the house is going to be ours!) :).
So, here is the link to the floor plan of our house :). Its a town home.
Second, remember I was talking about taking GMAT (about an year ago)? Well..... I finally took my GMAT and got a decent score (710 to be precise). I will talk more about it if anyone wants to know :P.
My dad retired from work! So, that makes almost the whole family jobless now :). He retir
ed on Dec 31st 2009. He was sad. I can imagine. I worked for Verizon just for a couple of years and the day I was leaving Verizon, I cried from 8am to 5pm. I just did not want to leave the job for anything in the world. But it was too late and THAT was my last day. Plus, I was leaving that job for marriage and a new life (which gave me some smiles that day). So, I can imagine how one would feel when he worked for close to 30 years for the same company and one fine day, its your LAST day at work and you have NOTHING on you plate anymore (work-wise)! its SAD! Anyways, I hope he finds stuff to keep him busy. Else, we will make him busy! :P
And..... my sister is here! She is visiting me for a MONTH! I love that! She will be here for a few more days and I think I will go to India with her to attend her marriage (psst.... secret! :))
Also.... we had our FIRST marriage anniversary and I made my husband buy me a cute dress :)...
I guess thats enough news for keeping you guys without any gossip for so long :P. Will write back later! (hopefully sooner this time!)

After Marriage, the computer seems heavier.....
Yes; you heard it right. That was my observation over the weekend :P. Me and my husband went over to a friend's house to help him pack (coz hes moving..) and his mom was looking for someone to pack the computer and I volunteered to pack it all by myself. She was a bit surprised coz she thought that was a "guys" job and I, being a girl shouldn't lift such heavy stuff
. But I was too sure of my ability and went ahead to pack the computer. I noticed something while packing. The computer ACTUALLY seemed heavier! I have lifted and packed computers many times before, but this one seemed really heavy. I further thought about it and I was trying to remember the last time I lifted really heavy stuff. I couldn't remember lifting anything heavy after marriage :). Obviously..... I had my husband by my side to help me lift heavy stuff..... I was disappointed with myself. Hugely disappointed. I basically lost the habit. But of course, I did manage to pack the computer :).
Why I talk about this today? Because I felt the need to tell myself that I need to be strong :). Its amazing how we differentiate work between genders. Lifting stuff, going to a bank, fill
ing gas (trust me, after marriage, I religiously delegated this job to my husband coz I don't like to do it :) ) is definitely a guy's thing, no matter how easy or hard the work is. Similarly, cooking is a girls' job. Ask men and that is what you will hear (even though my husband cooks). The biggest disadvantage of this kind of division is that we will eventually end up forgetting what we knew how to do. Guys who stop cooking right after marriage totally end up forgetting how to cook as a result depend on their wives to feed them. Same with girls. We should never depend on someone else for something that we can accomplish on our own. That way, the computer will NEVER seem heavier! I learnt this lesson over the weekend :).
Thats all from me now.... will see you all later!
