Happy Birthday LD!
This post is for my blog pal LazyDad
An active blogger unlike his name ;-) Infact he's been trying to get us blog regularly! So remember names are deceptive!
Mine's a sweet and simple wish for him but he has a basket open at his place to gather all wishes....
Havea wonderful day and year ahead LD.

Inner Connections
Few days back I had a scary dream, in which I saw my brother in a hospital and some complexity and the doc making a mistake .. I got up sweating and stayed awake so that I don't see it further. Called up home the next day and all seemed well, except that surprisingly my brother was back home on vacation earlier than planned. I asked if all was well and didn't give it another thought.
Yesterday when I was talking to hubby, we went into an argument on something and to solve that he disclosed to me that my brother had Jaundice and he flew down from Delhi to Pune, also was admitted for a couple of days and is recovering now.
The first thought was my dream, roughly the same time that this happened. What's this connection - how does it work?

Driving in the US can be a challenge sometimes, for one the left hand drive that's easy once u get used to, then following lane culture which we usually don't back home :-) But the most difficult thing I find is paying attention to the route while driving, one wrong exit and it's a bigger task coming back!
The other day when coming back from somewhere I halted at a signal earlier than i was expected to. It was late evening and quite dark so didn't realize that i stopped a few mtrs ahead. The guy behind me was fast I guess and he honked like crazy, which is very unusual here and if somebody's honking he's surely angry! I usually measure my driving improvements here by counting the number of times I got people to honk at me ;-) Now this guys was more than angry I guess..must have been a young collegian or something, he came next to my lane, honked again showed me the finger and sped away angrily. Hot blood eh!

A day in Mumbai
Went for Visa stamping yesterday. It was a 2 hr wait for a 2 minute interview at the American counsulate!
After that hubby had some work in Vikhroli for 3 hours for which I was on my own. Now I'm not a very Mumbai know-all kinds infact the number of stations and zones in Mumbai scares me. But looks like I was in a gutsy mood yesterday, so I took a rick and told that guy exactly the situation I was in. I told him I have 3 hrs to while away and asked him to take me to some nearby place where there are some malls n cool stuff. He took me to a place called Hiranandani and it was really cool.. didn't know where my 3 hrs went away, took a rick and back to hubby at Vikhroli. So Mumbai's not that scary anymore :-)
I drove on the way back and it's fun to speed on the Expressway with loud music on and a heavy rainfall. Mostly listened to Mumbai's Go 92.5 - infact we managed to catch that station till we were very much inside Pune too.
A day away from the routine was actually a welcome change :-)
