lamaze class

There is this trend in US for the child birth classes. Classes are generally booked in 2-3 months in advance. And ideally should be performed a month in advance. We were intelligent and we attended the class 2 months in advance, and guess what, every other person in the class was due in couple of weeks. So anyway we were in the class just for the heck of it, we thought that we dont have questions. But, at the end of the class i was thinking, and i thought i know everything. wow.

Well there are so many things to remember and my memory being not that sharp, i wrote everything. I dont want to bother everybody here with my class notes. But yeah, i am more knohledgeable person now.

Things are getting more tensed at home. Some uneasyness feeling, more after dinner, and less in the day. M's tummy is getting to show now. I clicked one pic y'day but dont have it rite now, so will use the one i clicked when we went to NH for Snow mobiling trip.

post for a post

Over the past few months i was pondering over the thought - why and what do you write in a blog?

I have almost 62 subscriptions on my Google Reader, and watch more then 476 items on a monthly basis.
There are all kinds of blogs, news blogs, tech blogs, and personal blogs. Now everybody would understand what are news and tech blogs. what are Personal blogs, i am not able to understand till date. Some people use to share there knowledge of any general stuff, others use it for ranting, others use for fun, and write anything, without any relation to anybody, like just for the hack of it. I may be one of the last ones. Trying to share stuff, no body is interested in.

I want to actually follow a pattern some where. Infact everywhere. But my own pattern. Pattern i want people to follow.

There are so many things i want to do in life, this is one of them.
I want to work hard in office.
I want to excel in office.
I want to workout in gym.
I want to read lots of news and magazines.
I want to watch lots of news on the TV - business and political.
I want to read blogs.
I want to write blogs - not sure about what.
I want to start a business.

This is my logical wish list.
I dont want to talk about the physical wish list. Other wise this blog page would become short of space.

snowmobiling in the woods

So in the quest for inner peace M drove to White Mountains. Spent a day there, and came out in a new Avatar. It was a blissful new avatar. She came home and we were happy as before.
So, what do you think, if I tell this story to anybody, would he accept this crap...lol hehe...M would kill me to death?
But, yeah as the name suggests, White Mountain region was really white, in this snow season, and we had a gala time with friends. It was total fun. Everybody enjoyed to the fullest. We also played with snow balls (actually I am trying to tease somebody here).
The main attraction of travelling in such a chilly time of the year was Snow Mobiling. I seem to be too exciting, and when my colleague at the last project, mentioned he owns one mobile, then I became too excited. On the way there were so many people going up, carrying there mobiles in their trucks. On the way we found so many plain grounds where every other person was snow mobiling. I thought so many times, I live right in the New England and this is my third winters, and I am coming here for the first time.
Well we reached the town right on time, but we were too hungry, and hence went for the restaurant, where we had delicious Mexican cuisine. And by the time we finished lunch, it was too late for the appointed hours for snow mobiling, still we went for it. Initially we were planning for 4 hrs, and then due to less light, we reduced it to 3 hrs.
We reached there without our gears, in fact I was in casual shoes, and yeah it’s funny. But we did not think that those people would be ready for us. So we wore the gears they provided to us, comes in the package.
We started with our guide as soon as we were ready with the gear and the entire pics click. I was pretty scared in the start, as the mobile was pretty heavy, and then it doesn't turn in the direction you want it to move. So we were going on this straight trail, and I got excited...and speeded a bit and thad...I was off the trail...in the snow, stuck. I was all alone in the wilderness for good 2-3 minutes; until the guide returned looking for me...and then smashed his head...it took three of us and lots of gas to push the sledge out of that fluffy snow powder.

We returned back to the base to get the lighter mobile, and then started the journey back to the woods and snow. This time I was a bit more confident. And felt better on the mobile. We drove for next 10 miles one side to land on plain white ground. This time I drove real fast, performing like a pro...but the only thing I missed was better hand gloves. Fingers froze so many times, that we had to stop couple of times. They were colder then ice even after wearing tips warmer. After spending 10 minutes there, we left, it was pitch dark at that time, and we were the only people in the plain ground. Return was better but dangerous, as it was downhill, so had to maintain the direction and speed.

We took less time while returning. And I was very happy to return, as I had to pee badly, and more in cold. On return, I asked the guide, how many miles was the total, he said one way to pond is around 7-8 miles, I asked, did you say pond, and he nodded his head in affirmation.

All thru the way from home to NH, I was saying I am too scared of the ponds and telling and listening all sorts of stories. What if there is a thin slice of ice instead of a hard snow/ice. What if there is some animal sitting under...it was all Ice Age revolving in my head.

Well, we spent the night in the cottage, and left next day morning. It was total fun. And want to go again. Pictures can be seen on my Orkut and Facebook Profile.

Reviews…

I actually don’t want to start with one liners review, but don’t have more then that.
Rab Ne Bana di Jodi – utter waste of time.
Gajini – Not Amir Khan Types. In fact, first movie who has a name on the villain.
Slumdog Millionaire – How come Americans make better movie about India, then Indians.

Last few weekends…

Last weekend we returned home in the night at midnight. No we did not return from the disc or club or something. We just went out with friends to watch a movie. How come so late? M was tired of sitting at home. She was tired of sitting. Standing after sitting. Sleeping, and then sitting after sleeping. And sleeping after sitting. And even when changing directions when sleeping. She was so much tired of all this, and moreover people scared her saying, life won’t be same. So now she wants to enjoy to the fullest. She came with this, when we are running short of weekends. In fact, at one of the weekends she even proposed to go out and relax.
Well, we are now in the buying spree, buying clothes for the baby, buying baby bed, buying closet for baby stuff, buying bed for mom. Buying is one thing; setting up the thing is another. That’s another project.
