Long Weekend!!

I am really looking foward for the long weekend. Sunday is a week off and Monday is a company off due to Maharashtra Day.So we have 2 days to enjoy! Initially we were thinking off flying to Bhopal to meet Rajeev's brother. Then we thought of going to Goa , Ganapatipule. But this is the wrong season to go there. So finally we thought we will stay on Gorai Beach or Madh Island in Mumbai itself! I am sure it will be fun. There are cottages available and some good beach resorts. Also lots of water sports. I hope we get a good hotel because we haven't done any advance booking and I am sure the place would be crowded now!

Times Festival at Bandra Kurla Complex

Hi Folks,

Me and Rajeev had visited the ' Times Festival ' which was held at MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai. Sunday was the last day ! We had attended this exhibition last year as well. Its fun. All the stalls generally display Consumer Electronic goods , Kitchen Appliances ( which is my favourite section ! ) and furniture stalls. Spread over 10,000 sq m, the grounds metamorphose into a shopping paradise, with over 200 companies displaying their products in 250 stalls.
The place was overcrowded however the exhibition venue was fully air-conditioned so the Mumbai summer did not bother us. At the Utsav, you can shop for home utility products; furniture and appliances; apparels; automobiles; cosmetics; education; music and toys.
I did some smalltime shopping in the Kitchen Section. You also have yummy food stalls there where we both hogged ( and then we complain of putting on weight !) I also bought these amazingly beautiful bedsheets from the Rajasthan Section stall. They are multicouloured and really good! I remember as a child also I used to visit a lot of exhibitions with my Mom who was very fond of them. And now my husband is!!

Happy Birthday Rahul!!

Tomorrow is my brother Rahul's birthday. He would be turning 33. Since I would not be in office , I am posting today. Presently Rahul is in Germany on an official trip , so he won't be with the family to celebrate!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU RAHUL!!!

Work Work and more housework!!

Its been more than 15 days my servant has not come ( not well ) . To add to that even my cook did not turn up for 6 days inbetween ( had gone on a religious trip )! Thankfully her daughter used to come once in the morning to prepare breakfast and lunch. But evenings I had to do prepare dinner. So my day starts at 6.30 with my morning walk. Then sweeping , mopping, washing utensils and finally the clothes! Then rushing to office. So my two hour study time in the morning has got ruined. This is my last semester ( MBA ) and I have 7 papers to give. My exam would be in mid May! Then we reach home from office at 8pm. So next work , prepare dinner , again clean the kitchen and finally rest to watch some TV. By then I am so exhausted that I hardly study for about an hour and doze of to sleep by 10.30pm . So now I have thought of an alternate solution. I have started getting my books to office. I make it a point to study at least 2 hours in the office post lunch!! But thinking about the positive side of all this , I have regained my lost stamina! I have actually realized that all this extra weight I have put on is not only because of my eating habits but also becausen I had stopped doing any house work! Everything was getting done so well by both the servants. In the past fifteen days , I am sure I must have reduced a little bit atleast!! Infact I think this is a good way to keep fit!!
