Siddharth!!!! Amazing talent!! He wrote a song and composed and also sung it for the audience but was not a part of the competition. The song was called “Say Goodbye” it’s an AMAZING song!! Hopefully someone has recorded the song and if so. Then I will surely put it up on the blog for downloads.
The Amazing duo!! They won the 1st place in the duet round!

I found this picture while cleaning up my stuff from my room. No prizes for guessing, that’s me with my sweethearts (Mom & Sister). I have no idea how old I was then but one thing I know for sure is I was as naughty as I look in the picture… that’s what Maa says!

Evening @ Alleygator




An evening at Alleygator! It’s a nice place with 4 bowling lanes and loads of video games, couple of pool tables, air hockey and table tennis tables.

Matt invited us all to Alleygator to spend an evening together as he will be leaving next week. I hope he will be back soon. It was fun real fun, especially when you win its fun. I have also decided that I wont ever play air hockey with Ganga, Kshema, Hari, Matt and Sunny not because they beat me in the game but because only the best can bring the best out of me and they need to improve their game a bit. ;)

Sweetest Aunty!!

It was my sweetest aunties B'day on 5th of Nov. Happy Birthday "Khale Joon" (Aunty in Persian)

EID Mubarak!!

First of all EID Mubarak to all of you!!

It was a wonderful day of course because it was EID and also I spent my day with my family and friends I haven’t seen in a very long time. Day started a little late, but early enough to catch up with EID prayers. I met my uncle after a long time and spent a big part of the day at his farm and he has got about 10 amazing German Shepard’s and 5 cutest puppies I have ever seen. Then I met my friends including Raza who has flown in from Australia to celebrate EID and also attend his sisters wedding.

Took Raza to office to show him where I work but I didn’t know it’s a little too late to take visitors to office. Anyways I showed him my office and we went to a friends place and once we started talking time just flew by. And by the time I came back home it was 4 AM already.

It was a wonderful day. Looking forward to many more EID’s like the one today.
