Recently, I was asked by someone what my personal mantra was – what helps me to keep going through rough phases of life. This is a really difficult one. When we are going through rough times, it is really difficult to focus on the bright side of things. Even though we hope that everything will…

Summer 2022 – Part 2
Read about our summer adventures part 1 here. As soon as I came back from India, my in-laws came to California from Denver. My BIL’s son and my SIL’s kids came with them. We had a full house. The kids had fun together. Then both my SIL and BIL families visited us and for one…
Life Updates
I cannot believe it is already the end of April. As usual I need to catch up with so many things and I barely get the time to go for a haircut on a regular basis. Sometimes I feel like it is only April and so many things already happened this year. Sanjay went on…
Halloween
This year’s Halloween was different like everything else. The kids didn’t get to wear costumes to school or go trick or treating. They were disappointed initially, but we convinced them saying it is better to stay home. They are old enough to understand, but were still not happy. They did play some Halloween games during…
2019 Recap

Moving Part 3
I am now writing this post from California. We are finally here and the move went as smooth as it could. Since we had a week after the movers left with our stuff, we decided to take a mini vacation. We went to Victoria, BC, Canada. I will write about our trip soon. After our…
Moving to California
We have been in Seattle for 5.5 years. Before moving here, I was not sure about the move at all. We lived in Wisconsin for about 8 years, we owned a home there, both the boys were born there… way too many memories. It was really really hard to leave that place and move. We…
Random Ramblings early in the morning
It is 5:30 in the morning and I have already been up for 2 hours. I went for a yoga class yesterday after a long time. I had been to yoga classes at my gym before and I absolutely loved it. It made me feel more relaxed. Since I am not able to make time…
