IKEA...

Ikea is a home furnishings showroom in US.. Its a swedish company (and obviously the main store is in Sweden.., tis the largest one i think )
they promise you good quality stuff at best prices.. and yes.. nothing can beat ikea prices.. now it has spread world over, places like canada, US , Singapore, Australia, Austria, Belgium..etc having IKEAs..
I visited one in Boston..till today Ikea furniture was what i had seen on catalogues in landmarks store in Chennai :)

The store is designed to showcase any type of room.. Its a completely different experience to see a completed room.. I mean everyone can visualize, but to see it there.. in combinations with other pieces of furniture ,is totally different.

Anyways i had a day in Ikea.. obviously could not buy any furniture, but i could see.. and wish someday i could keep my house as organized as the displays.

I fell in love with the glassware and lampshades there...
Wish i could just buy some stuff and ship it back home.. bought a lot of small things to help in organising my room now.


Ikea was truly a world by itself..

And it snowed :)

I saw snow today....I do admit inspite of having been in Delhi for ages, i feel cold in winter, and will be all covered up, but that does not stop me from getting outside and enjoying myself..
today when i reached boston we were told at the airport that it will be sunny next week....Wa sdejected.. i wanted it to be cold and wanted it to snow...

And just about few hrs later inspite of all the weather predictions .. its snowed... it was beautiful.....
I opened up the window of my room and felt the falling snow flakes.... amazing :)

I have to say it the Mac Donald's way...... Am looooovvvving it :)

Crisis Counseling...


Last week I went visiting the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco, California. The bridge is best enjoyed walking or biking across the whole stage.

Me n my friends walked the whole stretch on a nice windy Sunday evening.
Around Midway on the bridge at many points i saw "Crisis Counseling" boards and a toll free phone.
In case a person decides to commit suicide, he can just pick up a phone and call a crisis counselor and speak about their worries and decide not to commit suicide... nice idea aint that :)
