And finally it fall on Monday; though not piling up in feets on roads as in other places but good enough to give a winter feeling. But gosh it brought the cold and flu along with. My house had been sick whole week with cough, cold and fever. There were only these sounds of coughing, sneezing and blowing noses. Sigh. Hubby and I ended up in taking care of each other and reminding of medicine dozes turn by turn. Mom and MIL suggested different kinds of home remedies which we followed sincerely and goodness it work wonders. The only good thing was hubby started feeling sick on a Saturday when I was home and I fell ill when he was a bit better and was working from home.
As if this wasn't enough, same situation arised at parent's home which is even worse. I wonder if this virus gets transmitted over phone and gtalk these days. GOD, why can't we have a winter without flu :( !!
Oh well, enough of it now. There is so much to do in next few weeks and I am all geared up and already excited with the thought of it. Plus there is this holiday atmosphere everywhere and I am simply loving the way every town is being lit up. I am yet to see the biggest Christmas tree but hoping to visit tomorrow. Yay!!

Its Winter again
Technically it starts around 21st December but it has already started snowing in some places. And I am absolutely loving this early winter time. Its freezing cold sometimes and we have to layer ourselves with clothes and sweaters. But hey then there is a reason to shop for all those coats and boots and gloves and caps :)
The latest trip to D.C. was amazing. It was a good to see Mr. Presindent's house and office finally and surprisingly our hotel was at a 10 minutes walk from The White House. So we ended up going there almost every day. Christmas is on its way and the decorations are already started for the city and for The White House.
My way to work is also full of Christmas trees and lightings and decorative pieces are being put up everywhere. The gorgeous Empire State building is wearing awesome colors everyday. So in all, its a real good time of the year. After our very own Durga Pooja and Diwali are over, its time to celebrate again in a different way.
On another note, its almost a year I have landed in this part of world. Although I was a bit reluctant to move here but as soon as my flight was landing on EWR airport one year back, I looked out of window and saw the NY skyline and those huge roads and the cars and almost immediately fell in love with the place :)
OK. So I am waiting for the first snow fall of the season in my town...!!!
