Things are looking better now that my father is back home recovering from the hip fracture he suffered beginning of February. Life has slowed down tremendously for him and my mother is trying hard to cope up.
Last week saw the heaviest snowfall of the winter and unusually it was terribly cold when it snowed. A rare occurrence for freezing temperatures with snowfall. The past two winters in Minneapolis have been anything but good.
Nothing special on the work front as well as the home front. Things are looking to improve at work with the project now lasting till June end with definite possibility of extension beyond the 2nd quarter of the year.
Slumdog Millionaire swept the Oscars last week and for a change the Oscars seemed like a truly international event. Penelope Cruz (Spain), Slumdog Millionaire (India and Britain), Kate Winslet (England), Heath Ledger (Australia) and Hugh Jackman (Australia) definitely made it seem like a world-ly event, something not seen everyday in the United States. Heath Ledger winning made it the best award but there were no surprises in any of the other categories as well. All awards were predicted before the ceremony.
Our own version of the most anticipated awards happened this week, The Filmfare Awards. Predictably, the awards were won the the same people who win it every year and the awards are given out by the same people every year. Whats new??
NFL season getting over in February brings a wave of boredom during the weekends. The weekends are hardly worth looking forward to after a dull week. At least I get to sleep more and expand the ever increasing waist-line. Hardly any motivation to lose the recently put on fat. Need to work out :)
