Today is X-Mas and its a festive spirit. Though we havent planned anything special. But I am happy that all my near and dear ons are wtih me and the best part is I am feeling very good today. There has been less caughing and no fever for last few days and I slept well also.
Zahir and Zu went for the pre xmas party in Cal club and they had a great time. They danced and generally chilled out and am glad they did that
Am planning to spend the day chilling out and watching TV and reading books...I saw Zahir get a cute santa-faced cake for all of us..zu will be delighted to see this when she is up...
Dad sent a mail with a concern on whether we will be able to manage the finances for this treatment. Though sometimes even i worry on how we are going to manage all this expenses, but Zahir is adament that he will take care of all this and I need to only focus on getting treated.
Although the fact that family ad friends have extended their support gives me so much joy and peace that I need not worry any more...time for me take a quick nap..much needed...will write more later...

Dear Tutu,
Great to see your blog!! Merry Christmas to you, Zahir, Zoya, Kaku and Mashi. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Keep up the fighting spirit! You will surely come through it. Just concentrate on getting better and better each day! You have shown all of us how you can overcome any hurdle that comes your way once you are determined to do it. Love you for that. We are all praying for your speedy recovery!
Love,
Jaya
Dearest Amrita- Kaisi hain re? I never check my work email on weekends, but today I just felt I should and here was Zahir's email with your blog address. I am so happy that I will be able to communicate with you now. I didnt want to call and disturb you but you obviously know that I am here all the time- I can call anytime you want me to- day or night! I dont sleep at night anyways because Rishu keeps waking up- so might as well catch up with my dear darling friends :)
Today is X'mas (its 1 am in India so you must be fast asleep)- we are at home as Rishu has the flu. We had planned a mini vacation for 4 days by booking a nice hotel etc, but had to drive back the next day as Rishu fell sick and refused to stay in the ''yucky hotel'' as he called it. So, there went all dreams of having a getaway from our annoyingly busy lives.
Let me tell you about how its out here. After all, ab yahi mera 'ghar' hain! India kaisa dikhta hain yeh to bhool hi gayi hun!! So, there's a weird silence here in the US during these days, partly because its too cold to venture outside unless you are forced too (big boulders of snow everywhere and however many layers of clothes you wear, you still feel ''naked'' when you step out of the house!!), and partly because this being a family season (thanksgiving, hanukkah and now Christmas) people are snuggled away in their respective homes and their families. Its lonieler than usual. Christmas used to be much more fun at home when we were growing up- Park Street ke lights, Taj and Grand and terrace parties etc. Here for us its non-existent and pretty sad actually!! Anywhere hum bhi kya kya likhne lage- I guess I just wrote down what I am feeling at this moment..
So, yes, you have correctly named your blog 'life is beautiful'. Agar life main challenges nahi aata to life kaafi boring rehta right? Ab tumhi batao, agar Puneet se mera fights nahi hota, to phir kaise chalta, hain na? We are today on 'no talking terms' except that the dumbo hasnt realized that yet. OHHHHH, I could just kill him today!!! I made a stocking for Rishu and him with small surprizes in them, and he hardly had a reaction- didnt even get a hug (Rishu decided to pounce on me right at that minute!).
Baaki yahan zindagi yuhi chal rahi hain. Nothing much is going on. Same old, same old. Uncle's email is very very nice. And yes, steer absolutely CLEAR of all the pity that people love giving out- why now, after all its FREE! No self pity at all too coz you know within yourself, that you will emerge out a winner. At least mujhe itna to pata hain, that everyone has to go through something big in life- We both are paying our dues while we are young-so hopefully our burapa will be nice!
OK- I know I am just writing crap now so I better relieve you of the pain of reading my insane post. I was never good at writing and also please dont count the # of spelling mistakes I have in this one. I never did 3-4 out of 10 in the written or oral tests. Which reminds me of what happened last week at work- my Philipino boss wrote me an email saying- Reena, I dont know how this is spelt in the Queen's language, but we spell PRACTICE with a C and not an S!! Yes, an ASS you are!! The nerve he had! I googled the word for him and showed him that America is the only land that doesnt distinguish between a C & S as a verb & know for the word!!!!! How could I ever forget that- I always had confused ADVICE AND PRACTICE as a kid, so I am scarred for life and can never forget the spelling now!
OK- now I really better end.
LOVE YOU LOTS,
All my love,
Reena
