And so after several unsuccessful attempts, I have decided to make this Memorial Day weekend an outing that I have tried to take for a long time.
Its time that I visited and struck-out downtown Chicago from my list of want-to-visit-so-badly places. All the people that I know are seriously stumped as to why in the 9 months that we lived there, we couldn't see the place. Well, the situation then (2006) was different as we thought that Chicago was going to be our home for the next few years and that there would be ample time to visit. Ya right. Kirti eventually wound up moving back to Chicago and I remained in the wonderfully frozen tundra known as Minneapolis.
Just the other day I was thinking, it has been 2 years in Minnesota, a place I did not think I was going to live for 1 year, let alone 2 years and counting. Having great friends made it possible.
So the graph goes like this; Akron, Ohio (2002-2006), Chicago, Illinois (2006-2007), Minneapolis, Minnesota (2007-2009). The weird factor here is that I have left out alternate states like Indiana and Wisconsin and moved subsequently north. This pushes me out of the US on my next move into Canada. Gosh, that would be awkward. Or probably not.
This weekend was painfully boring, specially Sunday. Watched Ghajini last night and for brief moments, I kept on remembering Sidhya calling me Ghajinikant. God knows where she got that from.
Karthik got hitched on May 8 and is off to his honeymoon to Goa. Hope his tryst with marriage is long as his hair that he has grown. No kidding. He will put Katrina Kaif to shame with his long flowing locks.
