Fall colors

Hello my blog and readers, hope u r all doing gud. This last week I was very busy with sruthika as she fell sick. Now she is doing fine with little cough left. Halloween is coming up and my daugter is planning for her costume. She has costume parade at school and spooky halloween party at our leasing office. coming to deepavali we had a nice darshanm at temple and my hubby volunteered little bit of his time. We burned few firecrackers, had a potluck at friends house and also had a pocker marathon all night. Well deepawali went well but sruthika came up with fever the next week and we were all worried a lot. Thank god she became normal soon. Coming to fall, Weather is cold out side and the colors around our home are very nice. During our DC stay we visited shenandoah valley for fall colors. But now need not to plan any tour as all the colors are at our home. While sunil driving, me and sruthika took video of the colors on the way, I'll attach the video here. When I am blogging sruthika asked me that she wants a blog too..as my knowledge in blogging is very little I showed her how to create a blog(too early for her) and created one for her. She did her first posting and looking for more. Thats all happening at my end and dont forget to check out the link.

The Year of Secret Assignments

Yesterday I read a book called  "The Year of Secret Assignments". Its a very nice book and funny too. The story goes with three friends enjoying their teenage, encouraging each other, assigning secret tasks to one another. As a assignment from their english teacher they have to exchange letters with their new pen friends from the other school. One of these girls gets a rude boy who dont want to respond to her letters and treats her badly. So her other two friends with their pen friends teaches a lesson to that boy. Mean while the girls who happened to have nice guys as their pen friends falling in love with each other, etc., the story goes in a  nice and interesting way. Its written by Jaclyn Moriarty. I listened to the book in the form recorded books(not exactly read). I liked this Idea of making the books as CD's ...so that we can listen to them even working at home.
