Laloo goes phoren

Had a chance to visit our daughter in the U.S.A this July-August.......(from the 16 Th of July to be precise).....for two months,.....and ofcource, i enjoyed the whole thing thoroughly.......As usual......May be it has got something to do with my being a cancerian......Cancer people are supposed to love travel and new places............I don"t know........Not really sure......For actually i don't think i really enjoy all the laborious process of travelling........Toting the luggage,....jumping in and out of vehicles,....the long waitings-around,.....the sleepless nights and the untimely meals........only when it is all over and done with,do i look back and realize that it had all been rather good fun...........:).........A bit of irony there, i suppose.........

In my younger days---that was when i was alive----i must admit i have entertained thoughts of going abroad.........A few times, my husband, who works as a teacher in university, had opportunities to go to England, and Germany...(the daad and Fulbright fellowships)....but somehow they never materialized......I was really excited then......Would have loved to visit England especially,as seeped as i was in reading the works of Dickens,..Christie and contemporary British fiction......( i seem to have been permanently lost in bookish romanticism.....No real world politic for Ratna,, excuse me)..........

.It is funny how times change and change characters too........Now i have quietened down,.....cant really stand too much exertion,......less exited on the prospect of seeing the land of Huckleberry Finn and Gone With The Wind,, and looking forward more to spending time with Anasuya and Anil...
