me in Indian skirts,my summer wardrobe..everyone says my skirts are very unique..they all are indian skirts..I think if u want colorful skirts, odd colors, great unique designs buy indian skirts they cost 3 to 4 dollars in india and they look lovely...
I get lot of compliments for my jewellary too..Indian jewellary is lovely..
I dont put any makeup not even kajal or powder or cream..just wash my face with soap and thats it.. today the lady in the cafetaria who is blonde american lady told me looking at my coconut water can said " I wish I had skin like u, u glow all the time, is coconut water ur secret". I was shocked..specially hearing from an american woman with pinkish white skin telling me my yellowish brown or my fair skin is pretty was kind of what..then I told her no not coconut water, zero makeup is my secret, not going to beauty parlors or applying any creams is my secret.
I realised over years u can look great without beauty parlors keeping ur skin naturally glowing by not applying anything..simplicity is the best. Just good clothes and nice jewellary will make up for all artificial stuff ..
what else..
Life is busy as usual..
work keeps me so busy so many projects in hand, it has been almost like 2 new projects every month..
Iam busy with other stuff too..every year when other people organized picnic 20 people showed up...so this year when Iam organizing it everyone told me dont expect more than 30 people or so..so I was cool..planned with less budget, booked a shelter , games for a small group, food for a small group, events for a small group..picnic is sunday..today when I looked at how many people RSVPed, it turned out to be 90 people..cant believe this..everything I organize always is a success and I pull more crowd than normal but this time it is a lot more..Now I needed more budget, more food, better games..so u can imagine Iam so busy changing my strategy and replanning again..Now everyone is scared that 50 or 100 more people will sign up now that madhavis name is on board..so more work for me..Hope it goes well..This evening talked to a local restaurant and arranged for more food, tomorrow more new games, more new volunteers and newer assignments for them..so much to do..And Iam running a bone marrow drive at the picnic too, so so much to do..
I still have to plan and do four more events for this day..looks like this year is going to be one of the busiest years of my life..that means no time for looking for a guy, no time for marriage, no time for personal stuff unless I work less..my boss is not ready to let me work for 30hrs a week..he says he needs me to work 40 hrs a day and cannot afford to letme go even for an hour..so there goes my life..India trip postponed..life goes on..
Hope my family can visit me again from India, hope my dream guy will look for me and come to me as I have no time to look, hope things fall in place while I slog hard at work and spend the rest of days this year volunteering and helping community..
what else..
last nite I spend some time reading Kabul beauty school about a UN peace keeper who lands up in kabul with no skills , ends up opening a beauty parlor, helps make people lives bright..it is about afghan culture, their arranged marriages and lives of their women pretty interesting novel
Iam also reading Punjabi century as a part of research for my novel Iam writing and trying to finish
obama audacity of hope occasional reading..Did anyone see obamas kids talking to access hollywood..now obama says he regrets letting his kids talk..its ok man, it shows u are a nice family man with small cute kids who like ice cream its ok..
movies I watched..
boys- siddarth genelia movie pretty cute movie.
music I listened to maine hava ke parron pe likha hi and jaane hi...from mere baap pahle aap which has beautiful kerala scenaries and dances..
things that interested me
G8 climateplan with no solutions , india china refusing to comply..no one really cares about pollution or global warming until it is too late..world never agrees on even important issues..so so sad..
what else..
weekend looks busy with picnic
next week looks busy with volunteer activity I need to organize after I get done with picnic stuff.
A week after it will be huge multicultural event for 200 to 300 people including CEOs of the company I need to organize.
someone told me I have excellent organization skills why dont I become a manager. I told them I love science a lot and like my job as a scientist..finding cures for leukemia and diseases like that means a lot to me as much all other interests in life..
what can I say..management skills is just a part of me..my responsibilities to my family, my dads schools and colleges as vicepresident in India, my volunteer organization activities, my writing group, my own novel to finish, and my scientist job..so many places I need to be there..everything demands attention..multitasking is a way of life for me...cant even imagine when I marry how it will be..hubby, inlaws, kids will add to this list too..hope I get a hubby who is also up for all these..sharing jobs, sharing responsibilities and making a difference evrywhere is what I want to do..
life is a gods gift , we need to use it productively..
