Well I wanted to wish a happy holiday season to everyone reading this.
Many birthdays have and are about to happen this month, so happy birthdays to: Shannon, Mary, Martina, Mom (today), Jeremy, and Anna.
Surnish and I celebrated our 4th anniversary the other day (21st) by spending the day at Cambay Spa with his mother. It's stunning just how far the dollar goes in buying quality treatments out here.
We've been meeting with many of Surnish friends from the past and catching up with them(or in my case getting to know them) .
We saw the new James Bond movie...VERY good indeed. The story itself was good, but the editing for the Indian movie audience left some things to be desired. The overall take away from the film was the 100% presence of Ford brand owned cars. There wasn't a single car shown that wasn't owned by Ford motor company. For petesakes, there was a Ford Taurus large as life behind Bolnd as he tied his shoe at an exclusively posh club in the Bahamas...a Taurus! That was so out of place in that setting. Go to the Ford website if you don't believe me: Mazda, Land Rover, Aston Martin, Lincoln and more.
So Ford lays off 35,000 workers and then pays the Bond Franchise over $20million for the most conscpicous product placement ever! This is the strategy for a comeback, eh? Well, keep an eye on it.
At any rate, we are just lazing about for this next week. Meeting plenty of people for lunches and dinners and coffees and brief 'hullos'.
I'm really ready to come home to the US and Seattle after this trip. I still love India, but I'm not quite ready to live here any time soon. From what I've met of Indians who went to the US and moved back here, their sentiments are along the same lines, but different reasons.
Take care and spread the love this season...
Peace,
A Pink American
