Anu’s World…..Life’s good!!

Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam (whole world is one single family)

No no….. I am not promoting LG or advertising this brand, it is just that I like their catchy line and wanted to start with the positive note, positive outlook…..

After living in two great countries, I can’t and never will be able to say which is better and which would be the best for us to settle down. I think of myself as a global citizen and hence this famous Sanskrit lineJ… “vasudhaiv kutumbkam”……It is like a woman’s heart after marriage:- when she is at her parent’s house she remembers her husband’s home and vice versa. So, whenever I am in India, I miss US and when in US, miss India terribly. I am grateful to both the countries, as they have offered us more than what we ever wished for and enriched us with such beautiful memories to cherish lifelong. Still enjoying…… life’s good!!

I remember one song’s line: “ jo accha lage use apna lo, jo bura lage use jaane do” ( the thing you like- embrace it and which you don’t -just leave it)

I am coming out of my cocoon and after seeing so many Thank yooous on my blog in Blog Mela, I am here….finally with my own blog…….

Ok ok now the formal thing- I mean my introduction: From Delhi……17 years ago came to the US….elder son 2 years old at that time….enjoyed every bit of it. DH in IT, me worked as a teacher in India before marriage and before leaving US to India- worked in primary school in one of the school district in the US. Two handsome sons. We both love to travel and if there are no money restrictions or responsibilities, we would be just exploring the world!

After staying in the US for 10 years or so, we moved back to India without much planning (will write all the details in coming posts) and again moved back to the US after five and a half years in India. Planning to stay in the US for another 4-5 years before moving back to India. Want to cherish both the places…..again Vasudhaiv….(VK) Never stayed at one place while we were in India even before coming to the US for first time.

So lot of experience in both countries’ schools- public, private, teenage moving to India, again joining back in 12[SUP]th[/SUP] grade and then college. Younger son moved again to the US when he was about to enter high school. I see lot of posts concerning these issues, so any questions you would like to ask me about this is welcome and I will try my best. If my humble posts/experience are able to help even a little bit, I will be grateful and happy…but again so many factors like each person’s personality, bringing up, intelligence, environment-work differently for each person to react/behave in a particular situation….there is no one rule which fits all. What worked for my children not necessarily work for others…….

Joined R2i forum in year 2005 and very grateful to this forum and members for providing us such a bhandar of knowledge in every aspect of moving and now it has become a human life encyclopedia! Here you can find any and each aspect of life’s problem, solution, not only stuff related to R2I.

A big thanks to RRK for this initiative and thanks to each member – for giving an immeasurable amount of information on every subject, for making me laugh and sometimes cry after reading heart touching stories……

This is not really a diary or guide for R2i, instead, it will be random observations, my own experiences from which I learned in last few years. In this process, we lost many things (though mostly money) and gained lot of good memories.

Posts are not going to be in chronological order…..but mostly in past tense. Most of the stuff I have forgotten and will try to remember with my receding memory ……

I have become a fan since one of my friends on FB shared GB’s (Garbage Bin) comics. They never fail to bring a smile on my face…..

The guy is really talented and reminds us of our bachpan in India. Especially for Indian mothers/parents and kids.

These two are my very favorites: (although it is very hard to select, most of them are my most favorites only :)))

Enjoy!

I see these jokes in FB.

I see these jokes in FB.

Yes this cartoonist- Faisal, post his comics on FB page. He is trying to publish them as a series in a book. Besides these "Guddu" comics, he draws on current affairs too. One on Dara Singh (after his death) was very good.

My ES, since he was in 6th grade, used to draw like these. I was very surprised to see his drawings as they were really good for his age and all the fine details were added. His sketches were selected for his school magazine cover several times and got prizes in past. Sometimes when he gets into mood he, putting himself as the main character, draws from his day to day life (especially dealing with parents :))) I was showing him these GB comics, and encouraging him to draw more so that he can also create his own page someday, but the fire to do something big is not there :( so many times i had to blackmail him to draw something as a gift on my birthday so that we can get something out of him ;) !

As a parent it is very disheartening to see their kid wasting their talent when they know their kid is capable of doing it. But what to do? ....sigh...until certain age and limit we can push after that it is up to him only...

Janiji, these pages are taken from his original FB page only. He has his own Fb page where he posts everyday. All other are copy and paste.

But, I rather prefer all of them, at same, a single place in bulk,........ so I can read all at one place without, zooming in and out and back and forth from one pic to another.
Plus, I like to read on the forum and I hate facebook pages format.

I also read memes and I also prefer reading on forums on its one particular thread, than whatso its org. source.

e.g.
