In love with groundnuts

My Dad has a craze for groundnuts. It so happened that one afternoon, he was lazing in front of the TV and relishing groundnuts. Mom sat beside him reading the paper, so Dad tried his level best to be careful not to drop the peels on the floor. He twisted the nuts to peel off the skin and very carefully put the peels on a piece of paper on the teapoy in front of him. After a while he was almost done with the nuts. I was surprised at how he hadn't dropped even a bit of it on the floor. Alas, I heard a thunderous sneeze and the next thing I could see was groundnut peels on my mom's head. Mom's expression... not any different from the pic here...

I'm going home !!!!

After about 3 months i'm going home. Once again i'll be in my heaven for a few days, where I live carefree with Dad being my protector and Mom's food cooked more with love and less with masala and brother with whom fighting is fun. How I missed them !!! Sorry i'm out of words ....

Time for Twilight sequel - New Moon...

The curtains rise with Bella's birthday. At the party at Cullens' residence, Bella accidentally cuts herself, the sight and smell of Bella's blood makes Jasper lose control and the party ends. Realizing the threat he and his family posed, Edward decides to break-up with Bella. The Cullens leave Forks and Bella goes into depression.

After a couple of months, trying to get back on her feet,Bella goes out
with Jessica, that's when she sees the same rogues who'd troubled her once. The sight of danger gives her visionsof Edward, which only drives her towards being more reckless, hoping that she could at least see him.

Bella starts exploring bikes with Jacob and eventually finds some comfort in him. But one day, she discovers the truth about Jacob and his pack of friends, that they were werewolves. While Jake (Jacob) and his friends try hunting down Victoria, Bella finds herself drowned in lonliness once again. She jumps off a cliff near the sea, expecting to see Edward. Luckily, Jake saves her both from drowning and Victoria.

Jake who had fallen in love with Bella tries to talk her out of becoming a Vampire, when Bella tells him that she loves him but for her, it had always been Edward.Feeling dejected, Jake leaves and the curtains fall with the following beautiful lines...

In the woods, after Jake leaves...

Edward- "You're right, you shouldn't become what I am."
Bella-     "We can't do this alone."
Edward- "Then please just wait... Just give me five years."
Bella-     "That's too long."
Edward- "Then three..."
Bella nods in disapproval.
Edward- "You're so stubborn..."
Bella-    "What are you waiting for?"
Edward- Smiles and says"... I have one condition;if you want me to do it myself..."
Bella-    "Whats the condition?"
Edward- "...and then forever."
Bella-    "That's what i'm asking."
Edward- "Marry me, Bella..."

Religious cross-link ?

I have been reading the novel, "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. This book was actually gifted to me by a dear friend. After reading 49 pages, a paragraph on the 50th page caught my attention. These lines are really amazing...

"Hindus, in their capacity for love are indeed hairless Christians, just as Muslims, in the way they see God in everything, are bearded Hindus, and Christians, in their devotion to God, are hat-wearing Muslims."
