Today I read a very disturbing article about the conscience this had a story called " The Lottery " . In this was a village scene in which all the people of the village came to the lottery there was a 77 year old man who had never missed the lottery, it was a group of normal and cheerful people who had come for the lottery .The names of all the people of the village were put in by the heads of the family and then the lottery was drawn, but when it was drawn the person who got the lottery was very terrified and told the drawer to try again, but all the other people of the village wanted blood, the lottery was for stoning the person to DEATH, the author of the story told in the end of the story, that all wanted to get it over and done with so that they all can go back home for lunch, it was shocking but as I went on reading there are many instances in our normal life that also make us do these things - maybe not as hineous.... but nonwe the less bad, what about dowry deaths.... what about sati.... what about ragging..
that is food for though... please pen yuor views

a few days of holidays
A few days back Goles downloaded a lovely animated cursor and it looks good but I still have to get used to it.
The kids had holidays for a few days and as a result we had a weekend of four days sat, sun, mon, tue
We had gone to Hdwar for the same number of days and had fun there. We reached on Friday there the house was naturally entered after about 6 month after dinner in “Le Grand” (don’t get taken by the name the food there sucks) I got down to cleaning the house which was effectively done in the next few days but the things were ready.
The next morning we were busy with further cleaning, that day we had also gone to a fun park called “ the crystal park and had fun there too we spend the entire afternoon there, then later to the house of Gupta aunty. The funny part was that Partha, Goles and me had to spent 200 bucks per ticket, but Mummy and Kukku had children’s ticket costing 150 bucks!!!!, there is a lovely aqua park there but sadly both the kids were having cold we will go there in the month of May.
On Sunday we went for visit to all the houses which was good we got to see our neighbor’s son in law who is very handsome and lucky to have a girl like Meetu for a wife, Dantre uncle had also bought a new car the I10 but I naturally prefer out swift and more than that my cute Marti 800.
On Monday, we had fast “Neel Shashti” and later in the evening we had gone to Richa’s house.
On Tuesday started for home and came back there by 10:15 in the morning

the woes of a transfersble job
My husband has been recently posted in Karnal and I am also leaving trhis great school waaaaaaa!!. I have applied for jobs in DPS Karnal. It is good but will other things be good too I am a little sceptical.
I wonder why the kids who are amall like who are in class 1 or 2 are so nice and sweet. we have started a new newspaper club for all the students wherein we discuss the news atleast 5 different news items that are read by the students and we share our views about the right or wrong of the news. It isa a great exercise now the kids are readiung more and more newspaper and the newpapers in the hostels are getting misplaced. we have learnt terms like recession suicide attack which is usually featured in the newspapers. life is fine. We had a hobby class this time too in class ( I am the hobby incharge and it is s atough job doing that kind of work.), because there are many people here who are not interested in the hobbies that are alloted to them and next year we have to get together and try and find another way to make the hobby class work
Let me end.... whether anybody is reading or not I hope Tublu that you are reading this

Gone to look for America.....
May 23, 2008
Lunch at home: Today we were to start at about 12 :00 am but Tublu could not come back on time as she had a tough meeting in office as a result we went slightly late at about 1:30 all was packed and we had lunch in the house as well. g from a rope together.
• Car drive :The journey was pleasant and as the day was warm we had to switch on the AC in the car. On the way we saw many things that were something of a revelation one that Dolly Patron was giving books to all the kids in the state of Tennesse and that Rohan got a book from her once a month that made twelve books in a year which is like awesome…. I just thought that she was a booby delight and nothing else. There was a u[pturned house and many other exhibits of Ripley’s believe it or not, there was a McDonald’s farm which was also very good, there the people can gomlike a park and play many things like mini golf go carting and other games, it is like a fair. There were he,icopter rides for a sum of 10$ each which was like good there the games were also very unique, like the bungee jumping, and hanging on a rope anf swinging like they were hangin
• Reaching Deep creek : we reached at about 6 o clock but because we are in the northern hemisphere we were in the sun and it looked to me that it was about 3 ot 4 o clock. The log house was awesome just like in the movies of Texan people, which we see only in the movies, all the house was made of wooden logs, the stairs were wooden and also there were wooden beds, you wont believe it though there were washing machines, drier, dish washer and hot and cold water and all the joys of the urban life also. We reached there and though we had bought all the things according to the days we though we needed thaigs because the milk was over. Goles was watching the dvd upstairs and so me and Atuk went to a supermarket called Ingles, I have bought a money saver card for the same to show
• Ingles with Atul :So we went there It was a little smaller that Sam’s there were number of shelves and many other types of things on the stores rich in both variety and content. I had a good window shopping spree. There were pants goods of daily use and many other things that cannot be described, we bought currant bread, milk, wine and simla mirchi and had fun in the bargain. Came back… by then twilight had fallen most of the farmers were making bales of hay and that in itself was great to watch, which is because they were doing it by machines and it was a pleasure to watch, you know what a good gadget queen I am. We came back and slept, there were DVDs of all the thin gs that Goles like to see and I am surprised to see that she is a gadget queen too as she did all the things very nicely found the right buttons for the right things to do.
May 24th 2008 :
It was surprising that I woke up early beause It was 6 whrn I woke yup, it is difficult to sleep beyond that because it loks like it is very early and so I feel rather odd sleeping when bright sunlight is steaming all around me. There was a coffee machine but I did not know how to operate it so I was left with having 5 – 6 glasses of water because all were sleeping after that I went upstairs and saw the Harry Potter Part one and it was good to see it, after that I saw that they were not awake so I woke them up forcefully ☺.
We had a breakfast of Beagles - it is a type of bread that is made by boiling the wheat in water and then toasting it, a very different kind of bread, and it had pieces of black currant sticking out so it was nice to eat also, we had that bread an eggs. It was a heavy brunch.
• Off to deep creek river : After that we sat in the car and went to see the deep creek river which was very nice to see. We sat there for a long time and also enjoyed, Rohan – they said enjoyed the water but it was cold so he did nopt enter the water as it was very cold in the water. The people there do something called tubing In this they take a tube of the tyre of a truck and they sit inside the tubing and it floats in the water because it is full of air, people were doing a lot of tubing also there were lot of caravanners, because we were staying in a posh log house, I cannot describe the feeling but let me tell you I was feeling a bit jealousd of them but then they did not haver the things like bathrooms and dish washer and wasing machines etc. etc. We sat there and anjoyed there for some time after which we went to a Texan eat out called the Bolangles
• Lunch at Bojangles : here we ate something called the biscuit , it is not the biscuit that we eat here but it is a bun that is more salty with a little more spices. The speciality of the place was chicken in biscuit which I enjoyed a lot, another funny thing here is that we may drink as much as we want to, i.e. the cold drink that we take is really unlimited we just pay for the glasses and we can drink one, two, three glasses of cold drink of what ever flavour any number of times, ( But it is not possible) I also had a salad, Goles said she was not hungry but she took two cool drinks. After that we came back Rohan went to sleep and goles retired upstairs with a dvd tublu and I went for a walk.
• Walk on the mountains – dogs people and inspector :It was nice we went up… the hill and I WILL CALL IT HEART ATTACK ALley
• Trip to downtown : Once again we went to Ingles with all the troops
• Little engine that could :This is where there is a model train whicy takes people for train rides it is a novelity here because people here are used to car and plane travel. We also saw the station which looked very much like the travel brouchere
• Dollar store : It is a store where we can buy anything for a small amount about a dollar or 2 $ or 3 $, there were many things which were cheap, Tublu told me that it was a chain of shops and that it was a multinational company which is doing very good business
