2013 Virginia visit


Well at last i reached virginia to the sweet home of Happy and James and Jessica and Jayden. . the 14000 kms of distance and 28 hours of continuous travel has had its impact on my body a little, i need to sleep a few hours in odd timings. This jet lag is so funny. when every one is active and working i feel so drowsy and sleepy cannot sit or stand or talk. I just lie down on my comfy soft bed and go into the other world, and when everybody is sleeping i wonderfully be awake and read and write and do my own things in smart way.  

yeserday i was telling about my travel from India to washington Dc  to jessica by showing the globe . she was so impressed and tried to grasp the whole concept of day and night in different parts of the world, and how God created the world dividing it into day and night. and she expressed her astonishment how I could make such long journey in matter of a few hours. That little face with intelligent eyes made me peaceful at heart. Peaceful?? yes its peaceful , there is no other word for me to describe it. I do not know the reason. but I felt at peace. 
 And this little fella, Jayden is all in all curious and so attentive to every word that i speak to him. when we are busy with our own work in the kitchen or some where, we see him politely bending or laying down on the mat where his favorite  rail track and rail engines are spread over . and  we see him continuously whispering some story to the train Thomas whole day. he never get tired of this and thus engage himself without bothering any one. 

Happy is as usual busy with her construction work. presently she is working on bunk bed for jayden and jessica. . She constructed fire place, big shelf for the great collection of books , shelves  and closets for children etc etc. I wonder how this little girl of mine is so constructive and productive all the time. I pray God that she must get an opportunity to work outside and show herself how intelligent in this competitive world  I am sure she would be the number One in any work given to her. 
   James is going to acupuncture  I accompanied him to the hospital just out of curiosity. I thought of observing that process, but he told me to sit in the lounge while he undergo the treatment  so I was there for an hour after which he just said "you should have been inside to see the process. "  may be a second thought he got while he was on the treatment. I said my be next time, and i am really interested to see the process. 
    On our way back home we had a very good Thai food, costing 1000 Indian rupees. in dollars $20/--actually this food costs only 200 rupees if we made it at home.  and if we go for it in India it  would be 300 rupees, not more than that. uhm the life style here in US is  JUST A STYLE,  
May be that is the reason, Happy never likes to go to hotels, like her father. I am really at loss whether to appreciate this whole concept of spending money in the hotels or cooking at home etc etc. May be other time i will ponder over it and put my thoughts on paper  in future.
Last night i had nice sleep, the outward temperature is too cold, I shivered like anything when i went out to the medical clinic with James yesterday afternoon. and even now i am fully covered with sweaters and thick blankets in my bed. 
I praise God for His benevolence and graceful love for me , by giving this cooler days  in that hot summer of India. I hope I would be spending my time here in productive way and useful way to the little family here.

 Yesterday we had nice fun doing the holiday home work of Jessica. She is so attentive and reciprocal in learning new things at a stretch. Hey I have great time with her learning some correct accent of certain English words, , she was correcting my accent  about the word" corrected. " and I tried to learn it from her but not up to the satisfaction of my little teacher. Of course i have to try again and again. I like her accent.  so sweet and so beautiful. Actually before i come here i was afraid that i may not understand her accent of Englsih language and she may not understand my English flow. but I need not fear of that. we both went on well. so far.
