..--Titile by my 2 yr old]'

Finally i am here to write after sometime. The foremost reason is my son is addicted to watching Tom and Jerry in YouTube.com, that when ever i touch my net book he is waiting for me put the video, if not a big tantrum. First it was the iPod to go into hiding now it is the turn for my net book. Parenting has become a sacrificing thing. So i took to reading newspapers for a change. At least there i won't have anyone disturbing me.

I was reading Gulf News, a daily newspaper here (UAE), though most of the news is old. There are news about Bollywood too. Page3 news is mostly a copy of previous editions of Times of India. There was an article about Rahul Gandhi "Sonia Gandhi's son", titled "THE Prince of Congress" the reluctant politician. I was dubious of what was true. The Indian media portrays him as a irresponsible politician and this article says something else. The article says he has matured into a true politician, wants to break free from his mild-mannered image, and be seen as a man in command. I don't follow Indian politics, about time i start. I shouldn't be writing something wrong.;.

Some days you just can't seem to find time to do your thing. the past few days have been such for me. Today i don't have anything to write. Nothing much eventful today. Just the daily chores and lot of pending issues, that keep on piling. Haven't you ever imagined, at least once in your life if there will be a day when you have completed all of your task and have satisfied your soul of every need and want. Does rest of the animal kingdom feel so? One of the main reason is our innovation. Man is such an unsatisfied creature.

I have seen toddlers play with Apple devices, the touch screen is very appealing to them. My two year old remembers the folders where his apps are stored and access them. It certainly looks like this technology was for toddlers. My son is so addictive that i am not able to use my smartphone in presence of him. He wants it all for himself. These already have more demands than us.

I too have a big list for the coming days. Pongal and Sankranti both indian harvest festival fall on 14th of January. Pongal is celebrated in Tamil Nadu and Sankranti in many of the states in India. It has many different names in different part of the country. My friends and relations back in India are enjoying the holidays. This year it falls on Saturday, a weekend here (Friday and Saturday make a weekend),  so i will have some less burden on  my shoulder in making the special food of the day.

Happy Pongal and Sankranti to all of you.
