Beautiful Sunday Morning

Today is a Sunday...woke up pretty early...walked for close to two hours...all the time was dreaming about.....and being a diplomat...and yes saw the sunrise :) ...on the way back, called mummy...asked if I should buy some chicken and vegetables...she said yes...so bought chicken and onions. Came home...and then...the first thing she did was made me sit on the sofa in the hall and with a lemon tookout my 'nazar' and then did the same thing with red chillis and salt. She believes i am under the influence of a evil spell and this practice of taking out the effects of the evil spell or nazar by waving the lemon or the chillis and salt over my head three times would make me overcome the evil powers. This is also one of the many devised ways in the Indian culture to overcoming evil powers.
Mummy said she spoke to rani while I was walking. Rakesh has come to detroit to spend the weekend with her. They are getting married on 26 April at home here in India. They are both happy with the date and are looking forward to the wedding...and so are we. Hope they have the best of everything in life :)
Then switched on the laptop while having tea... checked my mails... and then read this quote on one of the webpages. It is one of my favorite quotes, if not the most, by Leo Tolstoy -

If you want to be happy, be.

I also think its true when they say happiness is a state of mind. I wish it were that easy.. but it is so true :)

Late Night

Tried sleeping but... :) Just finished the chapter 'Theory of consumer behaviour'. But why am I studying economics.
A good quote by Thomas Edison "If we did things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves."
Yes trying to astound myself :)
