Back after a while

Good morning friends,at last I am back from a break .This is my first post after returning home.We returned to the city when the city was beaming with the festive mood and lights.after all its the Durga puja time,the largest festival of the Bengali's.Durga Puja is like a giant carnival and the entire city celebrate it  by visiting the puja pandals, eating finger foods sold by the street vendors and buying souvenirs.The city takes a totally different colour especially during this time of the year.Its lights every where ,passions start pouring out, creativity flourishes ,people are out on the streets dressed in their fineries in the honour of ma Durga even defying the extremely hot and humid weather.Me being a Bengali  is no exception.So ever returning from USA was extremely busy to sit down and write something.Moreover due to the festivals there was holidays prevailing and we were left with no Internet connections.It is only last week that we got the connection.Thank god that it was during puja that I was with out the net ,otherwise I don't know how I could have spent the time.

finished pretty doily

Yeah,at last I have finished it.I finished a doily.I got the pattern from mirian crochet blog .It really turned out very nice.since my last crochet doilies were only a single color one so I decided to try and go with a more colorful one with some 3d effect.Sometimes I feel that I have a tendency to go for a tougher without trying a more easier one,but now since I have finished the doily it really seems easy.Frankly and truely speaking,it was fast and easy.The original pattern called for two colors for the flower petals but when I went to buy the thread,I found it to be quite costly(21rupees each) so,I ended up buying only one and made the petals in one pinkonly.Still it turned out nice.I started it after coming to chicago,in june and carried on with it altenatively between another crossstitch project(at present half way done).and today its done and completely finished.I made it for a round center table .I can also use it as a cover for the land phone instead of using the existing store bought colorful towels.This is just a quick post,and will be posting the pics afterwords in the next post as I till have not got one of the finished one.And I gotta cook now for the dinner so no time to experimment.This is just an update.

Wow there has been a new release that we have been waiting for long to watch.since we a now away I was wandering how I am going to watch the movie.But after some planning have been able to watch it.Yes,yes I have I am excited.this most awaited movie was obviously a Hrithik Roshan starrer.I know all can guess.Its Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.I watched it and I liked it so much.It was wonderful with some nice comedies.Since I am an absolute fan of Hrithik,I liked it quite a lot.One thing I liked is that the location,Spain,which is a bit different as most hindi movies go for some predictable American and European cities like New york or London etc.So like the idea of bachelor party the location was also fresh.I felt there was some resemblance with the English movie Hangover,but Farhan Akthar is a smart guy.so it has some original characters of its own that's so good work of Farhan and Zoya.Good work,like it a lot.
