Coming into world of video games.

I am writing this blog while someone is playing Call of Duty on the PS3:) After going between yes and no for long, finally husband bought the PS3. And on top of that, he also bought a Nintendo DS and that too within a span of 2 days! And with them came some days of argument over the use of such time and money squandering devices. I was furious.

As the heat cooled off, I was cajoled into giving it a try, and started playing the New Super Mario on the DS. Now, after completing the game, I must admit that I was hooked. After all it is like a virtual adventure -finding your way towards a goal with thrills of becoming victorious over mean enemies along the way. Wish life was like that.....you knew your goal and enjoyed the journey towards reaching the goal.

Between homes

It has been a long time no blog! I had been to India, and as we all know how busy daily life can be there. I had gotten so used to the US life, quiet and peaceful. In contrast, India is bustling with energy. Vibrant, is how I would describe it. Being a movie buff, I did catch up on couple of movies in the theater, now having so many people to babysit! Saw OSO in Patna and TZP in Mumbai. Both the movies were a great watch, very different stories well told. I thought it was patriotic that they played the Jana Gana Mana in the Mumbai multiplex until a friend pointed out that the anthem itself is not patriotic. Historically, the anthem was written in praise of the British. At freedom, between Vande Mataram and Jana Gana Mana, Jana Gana was selected as it was easier for the band to play.

Now its back to US, playing mom to naughtier-by-the-day son. Its a delight to watch him. How pure and free spirit he is, checking everything out with curiosity, bringing out all the love from mommy's heart. And of course putting me to a test of patience!
