Ganesha......

The day comes to an end but it was such a wonderful day - birthday of Lord Ganesha. My favourite God.... <3.

The name 'Ganesh' reminds me of so many things, and whew....nothing....more.

I read few good articles. I was watching 'The Holiday' - a famous romantic comedy. I felt to Google to plan a solo vacation....lol!

This is amazing. I was watching 'The Holiday' (famous romantic comedy featuring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz). I felt like I want a solo vacation to a place where people speak only French!!

Lol, I do not know what all about French but have heard indeed have been to Paris in 2005 - more than perfumes and museums...maybe more than French men and bottle of wine....there is more to explore about French as a language.

I googled schools around my residence but hardly any good ones to offer super intensive course to help me grab few significant words and sentences to help me. I do not want to master but I want to be a part of the crowd - if I ever go to a place where people speak only French.

Ofcourse, no plans of vacation but I come across this amazing portal  to learn different languages - if you want to travel and be a part of the world. I completed my first assessment. Italian was surely easy for me. But I am having fun learning this one....

Salut to enchantee/.....I picked up quite few words.....at least I can introduce myself!!

Then I started watching English Vinglish...another amazing movie. Strange - it shows an amazing story of a home maker who doesn't get due respect by Indian men but does make a place in New York. I like a dialogue by Sri devi where she tells - 'at a certain age you don't want love but you expect respect for yourself!'

I was surprised when the same man behaves nicely  to a foreign national female but weirdly to an Indian national of her own country. Pity!! I have faced this in my own life so it's really hurtful.

But Lord Ganesha leaves me with a smile to start another journey.

Good night!
