This one is for you

One of my really really good friends messaged me today and said " Kau ..I'm kinda getting so sick of Sheryl Crow " ..:) ..I agree ..me too . The Tide has indeed Turned . So this one is for you Farzeen. Hopefully this is more of a potential mindshare than sheryl's ..random though it is .

1. I always thought that soy was a "health" food ..but I read so much stuff this weekend on how bad it is ..I'm surprised I'm even writing this .
Its like losing a friend ..exactly how I felt in the January of 2005 when I doscovered that the French Vanilla Latte ,I had previously befriended was actually 240 calories devious in nature .

2.I saw a movie this weekend where an architect said " Even an ordinary brick wants to be something special " .


3.The first time I moved to Atlanta ..I was a mess ..emotionally ..financially ..things could only have gotten better .
It was a very icy february morning when I drove here ..lock stock and two smoking barrels . It was a good 4 months before I even smiled .
Last week I flew here ..and the immigration officer asked me what the purpose of my visit was ..and I actually surprised myself by telling him that I live here ..and probably I've said it a million times before ..but it felt so right just then .
..and he smiled at me and said "Welcome Home Then" ...it made me smile .

4.I think everyone should try Yoga . It is life changing .
Now I know this doesnt sound too convinicng coming from me ..considering the fact that almost everything in my life is a "life changing" experience and sometimes my blog postings make it seem like my life changes more than most people change clothes
(I know that Tinu and Hassan will be so amused that I am finally accepting this ) ..but all aside . Yoga is life changing .

5. I paid taxes yesterday and concluded that IRS was punishing me for being single .

6. I miss reading the Hindustan Times and the Indian Express .

7. I know that the dead bolt in our townhome really works . This morning I couldnt open it from the inside .ha !

8.My roomates knew it would be a good match when the first time I met them in the new house ..I said a very polite goodbye ..and opened the door to leave and walked straight into the glass door and bruised my nose :)

9.This is getting more and more random by the minute so I'm going to sign off .

10 . Just to make it an even number . Some people are supersitious like that :)

Hi Kaumudi,
Chanced upon your blog. I think we went to Mithibai together. Anyways, the architect film you saw was My Father, The Architect, is it? Louis Kahn is one of my favourite architects, love his work!
