Shruthi's bon voyage

At many times I feel a prisoner of the situation in the US. Today is one such occasion. I have never felt this way before. Time has come by for Shruthi to go and stay with her Patti and Thatha in Hong Kong. For the next few months she will be away from us. For the past six months, we always had someone at home. People were visiting us all the time. But from Monday it is going to be the just the two of us and to make matters worse, winter is stepping in. I am sure the winter is going to amplify the feeling of being alone. Hopefully my course work and job search will keep me busy. I don’t know how Lakshmi will manage. Hopefully Sun TV (Metti Oli, Anaamdam and Kolangal) and household work will keep her occupied. I wish we could have kept Shruthi with us but for US and its climate.

Few days’ back we had been to Pittsburgh perumal kovil. After having the darshan, we spent the day sightseeing few places in Pittsburgh. We stopped at Udupi for dinner. In the table next to ours, two guys were having their dinner. We were not able to see them but I was able to hear them talk. I could not control my laughter when I heard this, I guess one was having a vadai and I guess he preferred to have it dipped/soaked in sambahr. So the other guy asks the guy having vadai. “Do you like like that” and I immediately knew it was desi’s. Who else can use a Like Like in a single sentence.
