Winter Warning...!

Image
There would surely be some relief for me that I would not be in the Midwest for the worst part of this year's winter...! I have had more than my share of the cold last year. This area gives new dimensions to the word FRIGID. This part of the world could be a candidate for the place where the phrase '...and the hell freezes over' was coined... Fingers turn into popsicles before you can even say 'freeze'... :-(... You see, with temperatures feeling like minus 38 degrees celcius, if we come to India to a temperature of 30 degrees, that entails a temperature jump of nearly 60-70 degrees. Interesting, eh... This is just the beginning. Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya...!

Shubham gets his First Haircut...

Image
Shubham got his first haircut today the 2nd of Dec 2008. This was nearly 11 months after his birth. We went to the Supercuts in the Marketplace Dr. It lies in the same complex near Panera Bread and Chipotle. I guess Papa would remember that. He has been to the complex a few times. The lady performing the haircut did it niftyly. So the experience was good and not at all tiresome. Shubham was a bit uncomfortable when she attempted to cut the hair near his ears. But otherwise, but Mugdha and I were talking to him all the while, and he was ok. After the haircut, he looks a bit grownup now. This prompted me to change my way of talking to him and the way I look at him with mind's eyes. His first locks, as per the family tradition, need to be deposited in a river. We chose the Mississippi, no less. The next time I travel to La Crosse, I would stop by the beautiful Rest Area (the first one on the Minnesota side while returning from La Crosse). The Mississippi is usually frozen at this time
