Here I start ..FINALLY !!!

Hmm ..I have been thinking of doing this for so long now. Looks like now's finally the time. Ashwini's off to South Dakota, Vansh is taking a nap. Weather's so sluggish to be doing anything else. The view from my bedroom window is lovely and formidable at the same time. The enchanting fall hues of bright yellow, brilliant orange and fiery red are setting in nicely; formidable because of the rain and the imminent winters. Just last evening Ashwini told me Minnesota is going to see the coldest winters in the past 10 years, now that's what I call so very welcoming for someone who hates to even visit a snowy place, let alone live in one...huh !! A maximum of -4 degrees during a usual December day was not enough to feel the cold in its full grandeur, the state wants us to experience all that and more (or less would be more appropriate here). Here I go again, cribbing about the winter even before it has begun.
Let me write about Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna which I finally watched yesterday till 2:30 at night with Ashwini not by my side. It was a never ending saga of stupidity (Dev and Maya's) - 2 cynics coming together - God only knows what happened to them after getting together. I am sure the rancor was enough to bring down their marriage pretty soon. I never felt the love in the relationship that they shared, identifying with each other's situation yes; stirring each other's dormant sexual desires yes but love, not from what I understood. On top of that SRK looking so worn out. The best part was senior Bachchan's character - larger than life as usual yet astounding. And of course the extravagance. Beautiful backdrop, lively parties, fab clothes ..hmmm....
hmmmmmm ..back to reality ..Vansh is doing pretty well at the ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) classes. He is one of the only 2 children out of 9 who don't come back to their moms while we are in an adjoining room for the latter 45 minutes. Made me realise he's just as fine with a bunch of toys as with me :) He has suddenly transformed from being totally docile till about 2 weeks back to the bully when with another child. If playing with 4 toys, he fights till he has all 5 with himself, the 5th one being a strand of other child's hair or a piece of his shirt ... okay I am exaggerating but he's a monster in the making, without doubt.
Let me get back to work. I am glad I made a start at least. Hope I continue as well ..Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna !!
