This weekend i caught up with some movies which i have been wanting to watch for long.Finally,i got some time and both i must say was not dissapointing. Saturday i watched Hard Candy. I read somewhere that this was a nice movie and wanted to watch it .The movie is about a 14 year old and a pedophile. Ellen page as the 14 year old has done an awesome job. The movie has two main characters and the entire movie except for a few scenes happens in the house of the pedophile. If you like psychological thrillers,this one is good.

The next movie i watched is Dear John.I heart Nicholas Sparks books ,i havent read all but few and he never fails to dissapointn the readers. When i started this movie all i expected was an average film since i have not seen any good novel adapted movies.This one i must say did justice to the book.Well i wouldnt say this is one of the best romantic movies but its definitely one of the best adapted movie.The guy who plays John ,Channing Tatum looks so damn good,and he plays his role of a soldier so well .Amanda Seyfried as Savannah has did her job well too. There were few scenes which made me tear up a little especially the last scene between dad and son.

I would say this was very productive weekend. 2 movies .. a picnic at the park, and some fun times at the Beach. : ) Just wish every weekend could be this awesome...

I HAD A DREAM..

I was waiting patiently for my turn and when i was assigned my case I was nervous,i was thinking '' Will I be able to do it?'' It's been a long three years. I asked them whether they can give me a Grade 2 or Grade 3 mobility case ,so that would be easier for me. I was happy when i was given an anterior grade 3 mobile tooth. This was so easy ,i knew i had very less to do,the tooth with a lil nudge will come out easily. I was so happy. The next case was a molar tooth ,now the nervousness set back,i need to give an Inferior Alveolar Nerve block and its been long and you have to be very careful.I have done it so many times but will i now after three years??I was trying to palpate the muco-buccal fold and with the shot in my hand,i was ready to inject and then .. Dang!!!! I woke up... Its been very long since i had dreams like this one involving work. Life has become very busy and profession has taken a back seat. I'm not sure whether i would practise again but i have been yearning to learn and work again. Weird as it may sound,i miss the smell of latex gloves and the constant drilling noise. Dreams often reflect your sub-conscious thinking and thats what happened to me i guess.

CONVERSATION WITH A TODDLER

Today,as we were walking to the garage to get in the car ,i tripped and was about to fall and Jenna comes over and says '' Uh Oh!! ,You have to be careful mommy!!!!! I was actually dumbstruck because she usually talks in broken sentences. Her most constantly used sentences are I Want this Whats that? What are u doing,Mommy? I want to go to Chuck-E-Cheese!!! ( The most frequently used one) She is learning new things everyday and comes home from school with all these stories about her friends. Q pushed S today.. or I Played with B today!! I'm glad i put her in pre -school ,she is learning new things and moreoever she gets tired and naps well and gives me some much needed rest : )

LOVE

It was love at first sight. I have been spotting him a lot now in and around the place where i live. He is so small and cute and comes in various colors,though red and black are my favourites.First it was a crush but now its an obsession. Now meet him Mini Cooper : )

I dont have a car of my own,we have a family car. He seems to be very expensive so right now i can't think about owning him.. But the day will come when i will get to own him.. My very own'' FIRST CAR''.

DEEP THOUGHTS

I have been wanting to post about this for a long time but this being a sensitive issue,i just needed my time to think and put it into words.

This country which is called the Land of opportunities and which has large number of immigrants and whose President is an African-American still discriminates people according to the race.I'm not a citizen of this country but my daughter is and i fear for her,will she be racially attacked due to her color,her race? And i'm not talking this just out of the blue.I have a reason,you would have seen in my previous post about my school friend who was on a business trip to the states and she was treated badly by the hotel employees and this was not any small motel,it is one of the famous hotels and the receptionist spoke with his manager on the speaker phone of how these''indians '' behave? I have a doubt ,my friend was near this guy and she could hear the whole conversation.What was that guy thinking? Did he think that she does not understand English? Well,just because we do not have an american accent does not mean we dont understand English.This was my friend's last day in the states and she felt very bad and when i asked her to complain to the higher authorities.She just said" I just want to get back home''If it was me,i would have definitely dealt it with it differently.

On another instance,this happened to another friend.. He was told straight on his face '' Go back to your country'' and he was too shocked to say anything but an American friend of his came to his rescue and gave a piece of her mind.But sadly not everyone steps up when something like this happens.

I have made this country my home and i will not accept any kind of racism happening to me or anyone for that matter. I do not dicriminate people according to their color,sex or religion.
Just like my friend said '' I sometimes feel i'm not home and that aptly describes our status in this country '' Resident Alien''.

I know this is a sensitive topic but i would love to hear your thoughts on this. What would you do if one of your friends is racially attacked? Will you step in? What's your take?

OM SHANTHI !!!!!!!!

If you are wondering what that means ,it is a prayer for peace and thats what i have been telling a lot lately.I have joined a Yoga Class and thats what we say when we start Yoga.The first day of Yoga class,i was kind of lost ,i didnt know what to do.The other students were doing advanced yoga poses and i was falling over here.I was so discouraged looking at all these women who were much older than me ,having fab bodies and were doing many complicated poses as if it were nothing . The next day i was sore all over and had to take tylenol ,it was that bad... The only thing that encouraged me to continue with the class was the fabulous Jennifer Aniston body you get out of it..Do u know Jennifer Aniston's swears by Yoga for her long lean legs and fantastic abs?????.I'm not sure i will become as fit as her but one thing i know im going to die trying : )

I'm still not great at yoga, i still have like 11 classes and i hope by the end of it i will be able to achieve half of that fabulous body i want........ ok i know that wont happen but i promise to continue to do Yoga everyday ; )

Happy Weekend Guys!!!!!! Om Shanthi!!!

JENNA GOES TO SCHOOL

Yes! Its been two days... Jenna started pre-school from Monday.I have been waiting to put her in pre-school for months since lately she has been watching too much tv,not much activity except for the My Gym classes every week.My neighbour told me about this montessori school near our place and it seemed the best fit for her. She got this adorable Kai-Lan bag for school and was very excited on the first day.But the moment we reached school and she knew that i would be leaving,all hell broke loose... She started crying and i felt so bad and i teared up a little too.I couldnt bear to leave her and when i got back home and the house was empty i regretted my decision for sending her to school,to rub it in my mom said that Jenna was not ready yet and im just rushing her .Today is the second day and the teacher said she just cried for 5 mins and she was playing today.Thats an improvement for sure....


This picture makes my heart break,can't believe she is going to school now,it seemed like yesterday i held her im my arms for the first time.. makes me all weepy : (
