Week of Halloween 2012 ...

This week was really busy for me; quite an interesting week/

My heart goes out to all the 50+ million people affected by the Super storm Sandy. I guess, no one (including me) expected this to be such a disastrous storm. I was under the impression that Sandy is going to bring lots of rain and there will be flooding and that's it. I read somewhere, that the size of Sandy was the size of continent Europe!

Nothing like coming home!

I was feeling really bad that, this week, I could not spend time with my family to celebrate the Indian festival Kumara Purnima(a harvest festival celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month of Ashvin (September–October). It marks the end of monsoon) and obviously Halloween. Bought the pumpkin last week to do the carving with my daughter (on 10/6, she turned 4 years!) but could not do it until this morning.

Today, having a relaxed Saturday morning (trying to forget about Sandy) with my daughter...this morning, we carved the pumpkin/made a happy face :) (Yes a Happy face to forget all about Sandy) while listening to Mumford & Sons (love the song 'Awake my Soul')








Looking forward for an exciting next week. Finally, the Presidential election will be over! I will be teaching in Monte Vista Elementary (Santa Ana CA) on 11/8 :)
