.. Live Journal! As a part of my initial blogging exercise, I tried Blogspot / Blogger, Y! 360 & LiveJournal. Seems like I am most happy with LiveJournal at the moment. I may return to Blogger for its pleasing templates.. may be!For now, my blog has moved to Deep Musings @ LiveJournal!

It is yet-another-rainy day here in Sunnyvale. Not even remotely my definition of good weather. And especially not so when we have had plenty of them rainy days since December. I acknowledge the power of the clouds and the wind that can so efficiently transform a bright, sunny day into a gloomy, rainy day. Leaving behind my perspective of rainy weather, I begin to wonder where the rhyme "Rain,

Tis my birthday today! It isn't my 1st birthday... but it is a first of sorts. My 1st birthday away from my parents, sister & grandmother.My 1st birthday out of India (read Bangalore).My 1st birthday as a married woman. The last year has been a most eventful one. This day, last year, I knew little more than the fact that I was going to be married to Shiv. Everything else was an unknown. The

We just returned from a nice dinner with friends at a quaint restaurant in Palo Alto - Bay Leaf Café. The restaurant specializes in vegan food. The food was very different and yet very pleasing to the tongue. It is the probably the first time we have been to a non-Indian pure vegetarian eatery in the US. After dinner, we headed to our friends' residence. What was interesting apart from the food

Happy April Fool's Day to one & all! And if you are a GMail user, I wonder if you have noticed anything different in your GMail account when you logged in today. Apart from the different front page, you'd see that the storage space of your mailbox keeps increasing as the day progresses. I noticed mine to be 1559 MB this morning and wondered why they would increase it to such an odd figure. Shiv

Being ignored is also not something anyone desires! And I am surmising that, being ignored is the reason the Internet Explorer on my laptop decided to call it quits a month or two back. I didn't bother fixing that because I never use IE in the first place. Firefox does very well for all my needs. The only thing I may have needed IE for was to access my Outlook Webmail. But incidentally I have

View from the balcony of my homeIt has been a "completely" sunny day after what seems a long while. And with days getting longer, the sun is still providing warmth & light at this hour. What more could one ask for! I wonder if it is having been born and spent 20+ years in a tropical country, that makes me yearn for sunny days. Would I have been different if I had grown up in a colder or rainier

On Sunday, Shiv & me had been to Año Nuevo State Reserve, for a ranger guided walk to watch elephant seals. It was an extraordinary experience!Año Nuevo is just off CA-1 between Half Moon Bay & Santa Cruz. We had booked tickets for this 2 months back - not because we plan that far ahead, but because that was the earliest time we could get tickets for when we booked back in January. A walk starts

I have, for a long time, been musing about starting to blog. Last week, I analyzed for myself what was motivating me to blog and what was keeping me from starting to do so. Thus emerged this set of positives and negatives (wrt me):Positives: Regular exercise of thinking and writing. I write far less than I used you a couple of years back and blogging may be a good way to start writing on a
