Blessings or disguises


Mlk was talking about sun and its brightness.. How true.. Here sun shining but no warmth.. its cold.brrrrrrrrr!. Next second that sun disappears.. leaves are all falling down..windy, rain or light snow..?..Its like in Ooty, kodai.. kind of misty drizzle..

Flu, Pneumonia season.. coughs cold, sniffles every one every where has got it.. with one lot cursing another enjoying the colors and leafy grounds..going for walks ..while the other group sits huddles under blankets.

Fall comes with new job for all- raking up leaves.. colorful... and grass mowing still.. bagging the leaves.. dragging it to the curbside.. back pains.. allergies..

Kids ..OH !!!!!!!!!they love to jump in the leaves -u just raked up and running around.

Its hard to drag me out.. once out i can bag 3 bags of leaves before i have to call it quits to do the next job!(back pain, kids jumping around worry about them falling sick..!)

Yesterday and day before landed up doing 3 bags each ,still there in more which fell over night.. This week garbage collectors get a lot of lifting, in our home itself 9 bags just of leaves.. if i manage to do another lot ..more..

Talking about garbage here 3 different trucks comes.. one for leaves, 1 for garbage rubbish, another for recycle bottles/papers/cans.All these should be by the curbside Thursday by night..Friday they come from anywhere from 7-6.

There are people who throw their toys/furniture/machines etc.. if those come early Thur..then people come around in their cars/trucks.. take it and use it..or sell it after renovating it!

That's how i suppose I person's junk is another persons treasure saying came about!

There is blessings in every thing. Hopefully we can find those.I suppose i should take the raking job as exercise and kids laughing and jumping as their fun.. before i get irritated!

Having guest on the same day and cleaning up also coming up.. Hmmmmmmmm.. today just sat quite what with younger 2 crying the whole night with ear pain and another with leg pain!

Life.. is to be enjoyed.. disguises i suppose is the pains the kids and i have from being out..!

bye.ust

Gutter friends.

As Rosh mentioned , I got married in feb 1994, to( Bijoy)Thomas Varghese. who was on short term commision .. He left Iaf..did some computer course and after a year of stay at mds.. he got a job in USA.. he came to california , and from there on a project to Detriot.
sharon who was 3 and 1/2 yrs and I joined him 6 mths later.. during our stay in mds got to catch with Rosh, Annie, Griz,Miller and their fly..got to attend 2 weddings (Annie's and Rosh)..
Thanks venki legal advice/murali's help i seeked while we had to get passports, some paper work..
we moved to an apt when Bijoy got job at Ford(not direct employee) and from there to a house..! 1 year later visited India for my brother's and brother-in- laws wedding ..met with few of you then.I think that was the year Miller lost his mum..went there..
Shereen (5 yrs old)was born later and then Noel (3 yrs old)..came last to mds almost 3yrs back.. then spoke with and met with rosh and fly, Annie, griz,..spoke with venki.,miller.murali's mum i think told me he was abroad...
coming back Bijoy got direct employment with Ford .
Right now .. we hope to move into another home..which is being built.. hopefully GOD willing everything will go ok and we may try to visit Mds in dec...or next summer july time..
Sharon is going to grade 6 from sept when school year starts, Shereen will join Kindergarten this year.. Noel says he wants to go to school.
Kids here start school at age 5 ..straight kindergarten..others who need kids away 'cos of their job or hectic life send them to play school,pre school,baby sitting..
Am at home so kids stay at home with me to keep me company ...
thats the long and short of my years after leaving college... and what rosh could not tell in her summary...
hope to hear all the rest of your stories when ever you guys get time.
friends like Rosh, miller, murali,rajeev,annie..now maha , suni,venki,gladi..have all kept in touch and chatted with me ,mailed me.. on and off.. Appreciate it.. and hope that all of you will be able to keep this up also.
God bless.
