I attempted to wear my silk saree today and gave up after an hour of trying to get the top portion to drape correctly. Unstarched silk sarees slip and slide everywhere and not simple to get in place. I know there has to be a secret to wearing this thing, but I\u2019m going to have to call it a day and wear something else before I start screaming in my mirror. I\u2019ll ask the girls to help me sometime later in the week. <\/p>\n
I settled on my kurta pajamas and toddled off to the hotel lobby. Anand and I headed into work early today. We met up with Linda and Bill in the lobby \u2013 where they were headed to lunch with Manish. <\/p>\n
Our graduation, party and pooja took place before work this afternoon. Bindu surprised me with a Ganesha for my car, and Divya immediately arranged to get it blessed. Bill and Linda had their laptops blessed \u2013 luckily, mine was safe downstairs in the training bay and wasn\u2019t in any danger. Unlike Bills\u2019 laptop, I\u2019m certain my Ganesha will be even more likely to function correctly after the prayers said over it. <\/p>\n
At the end of the pooja, Linda, Bill, Manish, Rajesh, Jaspreet, and myself were invited to light the lamp. <\/p>\n
Bindu and I agreed to move our trip to Iskon and lunch to Thursday, since both of us were feeling a little tired. Instead, we\u2019ll take a quick trip out to look at the famed 22k gold sold in India. <\/p>\n
As we were headed home, I learned that Bill has a direct view of the cows from his room. It\u2019s hard not to break out laughing when you imagine the look on his face the first time he stepped out onto the balcony and looked out into a field of our bovine friends. <\/p>\n
Outside of work, it was a pretty uneventful day. Sleep\u2026work\u2026return to the hotel to sleep. Once again, I\u2019m up to watch the sunrise as I\u2019m not able to get to sleep until the wee hours of the morning. <\/p>\n
I think I need another weekend just to recuperate from the last one! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
