Want to own a home?

You ask me - is it good to rent or own a house? I am uncertain. But if you buy one, make sure you plan on staying there for at least 10 yrs to build some equity on the house. Its a buyers market and hence there are numerous properties sitting in the market for sale. The dilemma comes when you have to mark down the list price of your property in this competitive market so it sells.
How low can you really go!!
I started exploring some options and the next best I found is "renting it out". Now the question is how soon can you get a renter/leasee.
Still to see that!!

BTW if you are reading this blog please take a look at this link:

Happy house hunting!!
 

Facebook

innumerous blogs about the latest and greatest I am sure. nothing else really grabs anyones attention for this long. u love to hate it and yet you are glued to it.. all thru the day checking updates from friends, news, views, things happening around the world..
how did I know about the AMRI hospital mishap in india - thru an update from my friend... and it goes on and on
wow!!!
a portal to world affair
the newz at your service
any catastrophe and political issue, anything on this globe or outside finds focus here
what a media!!! what way to communicate!!
people have almost forgotten the newspaper
some still use it to satisfy part of that unfulfilled intellectual thirst to read an actual print and feel it while reading, news,views and gossip..
today I read about Kony 2012 and shared a link with all my friends, so even if someone didnt know will know now about this heinous criminal in Africa.
I got sick - posted an update so then friends called to find out how I was doing..great way to convey a message when living here in the US you even might not know your own neighbor, but he happens to be your FB friend(since he is a common friend of your friend)..
great!!
sending bday messages to people you havent even seen for ages..
reconnecting with high school and old friends and in keeping with the famous saying - "Make new friends, but cherish the old ones"..
sharing pictures, videos of every miniscule event in anyones life..
yeah!!!
I am smitten by it .. yet after spending sometime , I feel guilty that I wasted my time on facebook.
kids asking for permission to create their facebook accounts as their bday gifts.. how far can it go?
this has been here and will probably stay .. google+ didnt fly that high.. buzz - I wonder how many seriously use it.. orkut is history.. FB's in for a long haul!! there I said it!!! and now the wheel will turn and something new will replace the FACE of facebook.. or will it!!!

Relax!!!!

Who?? me? I wish I could.. its hard.. someone tell me how to.. a simple 5 letter word.. so circumstantially different.. its been a while I have actually completely relaxed.. even during sleeping the events of the day pop up in my dreams coaxing me to think of what to deal with next day.. ya!! relax!! try!!

misfit in a gym

oftentimes I am inspired to go to the gym..but with anticipation I enter 'Thy Kingdom'.. I get clumsy around the humongous equipments.. I somehow feel all those grave faced athletic looking people exercising their life out, are looking at me with piercing eyes ready to mock me at the slightest mistake I make in using an equipment.. aside from the treadmill(my bud), I dare not look at the other less friendlier ones..and during those rare occasions of going to the gym I finally gathered up the courage to acquaint myself with Mr Elliptical(just by watching others) and the bike too and that my friend is all I use if i ever step into Gym Kingdom.. its more the fear of messing up and the savory ego of not letting the other frequent visitors know that 'I am ignorant'.. :(
but I have found yet another comfortable and non-challenging method of exercising - a brisk walk in fresh air, in the mornings.. no exercise can beat that.. my goal - a healthier lifestyle..

Reflections

constant changes.. everyday u emerge as a new you, without even realizing.. when duty calls you sometimes go beyond urself and establish certain idealogy that surprises u..

Quagmire...

You try hard to be positive about life and keep fighting each day.. along that journey you unravel what life wants of you.. yet it aint crystal clear.. you keep digging deep, the deeper you dig the messier it gets..kya sahi kya galat.. so hard to figure out @ tyms.. your best bet is your own little world and your cosy corner which makes you feel safe for few moments.. if you have created your shelter around you, you like to stay in that shadow.. and then that moment comes when you wanna peek out.. you take one look and stretch into a stride then the next and yet when you think you are doing what you want and finding happiness in that, you end up in a quagmire.. how many realization does one need to dawn upon themselves? how many mistakes to do one right? lifes lessons - they are endless.. when do we actually stop thinking, cautioning ourselves, and start living? mere liye kya sahi hai - this moment? who knows it? even when I say this I feel someone's watching over me and probably smirking -'YOUR LIFE'S ROUTE IS IN MY HANDS' - as if an existence of a strong force somewhere in the clouds up there..

long tym.....

hi online journal - did you miss me? I did!! but cudnt find the tym or energy to jot on you.. very excited about new cultural project with friends, in the near horizon.. hope and Pray it sees success.. although it stresses me more, yet the prospect and enthusiasm of trying something new somehow tickles my energy buds..
dance drama with live music in music city Nashville, was hardly a thot even a year back from now..

was hanging around with friends for a casual lunch gettogether, chit chatting about how we all miss performances with live dance and singing, etc when this idea popped up.. with the effort of handful of people we embarked upon this journey which will see a culmination into 'Chitrangada', a dance Drama written by Rabindra Nath Tagore, to mark his 150th birth centennial year, by our just-formed performing arts group - Heartscape2011.
And then in june Regional Bengali Conference 2011. Highlights of this event - songs by Kavita Krishnamurthy, Annesa dutta, Aneek Dhar,etc.. check it out here : http://www.rbc2011.org/
Boy!!! am I so immersed in Cultural activities.. my lifeline pretty much!!
