Dear Sakha!

Dear Sakha! How are you? Fine and wish the same.

I am so sorry I missed your call the other day. Even more sorry for having not returned your call or at least write an email or as much as an FB message. Today I have kind of forced myself to respond to you and hence this mail - blog!

So, how are you? How is the family? Job? Abu Dhabi? Along those lines, let me answer too: Fine. Well. Busy. Humid and scorching!

Children are midway through their summer break, which explains why the house is upside down and downside up! This is one main reason why I can't function as "normal". Knowing me you would understand how very important it is for me to keep my surrounding in order. When it gets out of control I fail to function in my cheerful mode. (Sigh!)

Finding the time to bring it back under control seems to be ever evading, especially with my long hours away from home and the never ending shopping sessions in the evenings.

We are invited for a wedding (American) this Saturday. Picking the right dresses for girls proved to be more challenging than I had thought. I have scored the aisles of Macy's, JC Penney, J-Crew, New York and Company, Dress Barn, Forever21  and countless other boutique shops in the mall but haven't found the right ones yet. For now we have settled for a red wrap dress for Ray and a golden polka dot one for Sharon. One can't be too sure till the very last minute in our household. (more sigh!)

Okay dear, enough of grumbling I guess. Tell me about your girls? How do they like the new school year? How is the weather like in Abu Dhabi? How is Mom? Is P behaving? :) Israel is! :)) Regards to all.

With that I will wind up for now. Ping me your number; I'll call.

Take care.

P.S: Just for a perspecitive I googled us up, where you are (B) vs. where I am(A); picture enclosed.It seems almost virtual Sakha, don't you think? Yet, across the miles (6842 to be exact!) we will carry it on. Stay in touch!

Friend always,

Letter to my friends

Dear Friends! Greetings. Fine here and wish the same. Kindly excuse my long delay in writing a proper post. It's just that life got busy lately. Before it is too long I wanted to write to you.

Tomorrow is the last day of school. Also Mom is arriving from India which is very exciting. I plan on taking Flat Stanley with us but he is not ready yet. If possible I wish to work on him today.

Children are excited of course. Today also they are off and got up early morning around 6:00 AM to promptly watch TV. Television is denied during school days and so they do not miss an opportunity to watch it on holidays. I am hoping to use their help for folding some clothes. Let's see.

It is just 8:29 AM here on Thursday morning. I will be working from home. However I started my day very early as I had to clean up Mom's room and put away things and take care of many other things before my work hours start. In the last 2 1/2 hours I have accomplished a lot more than what I had planned on doing in the past 2 1/2 months!

It is going to be a very busy weekend too. Saturday we have a must-go birthday party to attend and Sunday is Father's Day. I have picked up a red polo shirt for Israel (writing this in confidence that he will not read it...) Red is my favorite color and not his. I hope he will wear it one of these days. I promise to share the pictures when he does.

If I don't get to "see" you all before Sunday, wishing all the Dads a very Happy Fathers Day! Your role in your child's life is irreplaceable. Thank you for doing your best! God bless you!

Friend Always,
