So long Puthru!

Its three weeks since Puthru, our handsome betta fish left us. I hope he is happy wherever he is! you might wonder if a fish can have an impact on you. It surely does, especially if he has lived with you for 3 whole years, has been extremely responsive to you and has been a part of everything that has happened in your home. 

I miss you puthru - at your dinner time and at times when I am home all by myself. And  I hate to see the place where your bowl was so empty. Did you leave us because you knew we would have to leave u back here when we returned to India? 

I miss you little one. You'll be in my heart now and forever! 

Whatever happened to all the snow?!

I was reading the Globe today morning and there was this little piece of news that struck me- Boston had received 7.5 inches of snowfall this year as against 71.6 inches last this time. Whatever happened to all the snow? No, i am not complaining and i never will. I love warm  temperatures and i am thoroughly enjoying this winter. The temperature has remained in the upper forties/lower fifties for most of the time, which is so unlikely for winter in this part of the world. No snow cleaning, no walking/slipping on ice, no triple layer warm clothing or heavy jackets. In a way, I think its Boston's way of treating us well for this is our last winter here!
