Wow! It's been long!

I didn't realize that I had not updated my blog for over a year now! Time flies so fast... So many things have happened over this time which went undocumented on my virtual online life :) One reason for me is that I got more used to 'Facebook' and kept on updating everything there. But I guess it's time I revived my dormant blog and started updating it.

So the biggest update over the past year is that I am a Dr. now :) Yes, I finished my Ph.D. in Bangalore and got the degree in August. Now I am with my husband here without a return ticket for Bangalore :)

The second biggest update is that in July this year, Joy and I went for a month-long cross-country motorcycle ride on our Honda Goldwing to compensate for all our lost times :) The ride covered 10,300 miles in 32 states and we met a lot of friends and strangers on our way. I now have to find some time to remember and document the most cherished trip we have done together.

The other updates are not that significant compared to the two mentioned above. However, may be I should at least mention on the go that I have been able to motivate Joy to take care of his health finally :) I have not been able to convince him to come to gym or jogging! He liked bicycling and did some moderate ride with his coworker when I was in India. He even went to office (about 6 mi) for quite sometime. And then, as it had started, it stopped! He just kept saying he didn't have enough time to ride to work. So, one day when I suggested about checking out a rock climbing gym nearby and he took it seriously, I was surprised! But to see him take equal active interest in rock climbing is much more surprising to me. I was giggling when he said yesterday from office that he feels like he is back in school and can't wait to come home to go to playground (rock climbing here)! I hope his interest in rock climbing continues :)

More later...
