Why is Mrinali busy ?

This weekend was quite hectic... drove like 500 miles and around 5 states :D... The drive started pretty bad with the awful peak time traffic of 495.... It took me 5 hours to reach Delaware ! crazy !!
Anyways... my sister and Sai came to philly! so I had to drive over and meet her. It was Sai's uncle's 60th b'day party .. which reminds me that next month is my dad's 60th B'day !! cool kada ... I will so much miss being with my family ... well I can plan a surprise visit to home!! donno.. ok now coming back to the party, It was quite cool.. it was in some vineyard.. coz they are like ABCD's ... most of them, so they had an Americanised 60th B'day ! no shastipurthi !! khaneka aur peneka.. bas mast jene ka ... food and booze dominates their celebrations mostly. I ate some good desi food and some Italian (yummy) food ... played some cricket !!
Sai's uncle is pretty successful and intelligent !! he is also very funny and entertaining... unlike the regular 60 year old's I get to meet sometimes .. who always crib how wonderful it is back in India some 40 years back ..and how much they hate being here... uncle is pretty chilled out, and maybe having a family and a successful career makes a difference hmm .. donno... well I don't have anything against the senior citizens ( oops) or say the wiser citizens but most of them try not to enjoy their life as much and always live in a nostalgic past.
As usual it was nice meeting my sister and Sai... ( I said this now! donno wht it means) my sister has yet not become that auntyish as I had expected...lol... we always spend like 1 day with her and that too among so many guests !! I guess it will be a nice idea to go on a vacation with them and chill out for a while... current economy mei koi vacation he nehe le raha hai :D
Since I was so close to Jersey!, I decided to meet one of my friends and then and later my favorite cousin over there ... I had also planned to visit bridgewater temple ( my fav temple in USA) but It was too late by the time I bid adios to my cousin and I had a 4 hour drive back to home... reached home at around midnight ! tired and tired and tired
so things I did not do were
Visiting Bridgewater temple and also I did not go to Devon.. :(
