What's the news?

I haven't written anything in more than two weeks. So let me give you a brief update of what's happening over here.

The days are getting longer and longer. There is natural light even after 9 p.m. I am really glad about it.

It hasn't rained in more than ten days. Not only has it not rained, we haven't even had a overcast day. It's been sunny for several days at a strech. This is not normal for Seattle weather. Shouldn't I be glat about this too? Well, yes and no! I am glad it's sunny and not raining. But I wish it would rain once so that the dust settles down a bit. In short, I am having ambiguous feelings about the sunny weather we are having, which is very surprising.

We had a good trip to Lake Wenatchee last weekend. We had booked a cottage by the lake. The view from the house was amazing. I have posted it here. Check it out:

aai-bAbA will reach here Wednesday afternoon. It will be fun to have them here. The weather is amazing and they will surely enjoy it.

Soon it will be close to two years since we came to US. One would think that I would be missing India. Altough I love Inida (or bhArat) more than anything else in life, including my life, I am not missing it so much right now. Much less after the recent elections results were announced.

The impact of election results can be summed up in the word - dejection. It is sad to see our most beloved nation sliding back into slavery once again. To see goons, rapists and debauched people ruling our beloved motherland causes so much heartburn. Often I fold my hands to pray and the only wish that leaves my lips is, "God, save yourself", from these dregs of humanity (and oppressors of Hinduism), who will now rule our country, the birthplace of countless Hindu wizards.
