Beautiful Cathedrals of Montreal!

I added music to my profile. The songs remind me of Montreal cathedrals. That tiny city has a lot more cathedrals than any other Canadian cities I visited! Century old catholic churches are so beautifully built, and visiting these places of worship gives me the much needed peace. I know People do not want to be in Montreal in winters, but to me that is the perfect time to spend a lot of quite time in praying. The Gothic style architecture, and suitable interiors makes it a world class museum. If ever given an opportunity, I would want to go back and spend some quality time in those power-prayer houses. Jesus is awesome, and he sure answers all our prayers! To him we are all the same, he doesn't need anyone to denounce their faith to accept him; he loves you for the person you're and not what you will become. Even-though, I am not a Christian, I know Jesus still loves me, just the way I do, ok may be little more than I do! :-)

It doesn't matter to which religion you belong to, these places have a lot of energy and one should visit these places of worship at least once in a life time!

Finally home!



I have moved to Phoenix, finally home!! 

It is a wonderful feeling to be with my husband in our house. When I was in Canada, I lived in tenements. It is a good feeling to be in my house, finally.  Having spent 18 moths in Canada, I can say USA is nothing like Canada. They are two different countries all together. In Canada everything is in limited while quite the opposite here in USA! What Large drinks we call in Canada are small/medium here! Canadians have one garbage bag, 2 tubs for the recycling (there is no limitation on recyclable waste) and everything is picked on the same day, usually on a Tuesday. While here in Phoenix it is quite the opposite. Every house here has two really big dustbins. One for the waste while the other is for recycle. They are picked on two different days. Mississauga and Toronto the places I spent most of my time were like a mini world with people m from all corners of the world. Americans and very little Asians or east Indians mostly dominates this place. Also, I observed Americans do not follow SI units; instead they have their own units. Fahrenheit, miles, feet are some of the units I am still getting used to.  Americans use a lot of fractions. ¼, ½, ¾ on their direction signs and has a maximum of 75 m/hr while 60 m/hr is the maximum in Canada. Toronto has a very good public transportation; I am yet to find a bus in phoenix!  Not to mention every two blocks here one will find fast food joints!!  Finally, their accents are totally different! 

I am so glad that I have got an opportunity to live in two best countries in North America and learn their practices, customs and ethics. I am grateful to my husband for giving me an opportunity to experience the finest things! Thank you hubby and I love you a lot!

The Fall is here!



The fall has finally arrived. The leaves have changed its color from green to various shades of red & yellow. The Creek is over flowing and constantly producing rhythmic sounds, which resonate far away. The smell of the mud, the drizzle now and then, followed by the breeze, the chirping birds in the backyard on a muggy day turns any ordinary man in to poet. The streets are filled with colorful leaves, which look more of a colorful bed spread. And then, you have children playing. This is indeed the most beautiful sight. Life in this part of the world definitely looks beautiful. I’m truly blessed to see these simple wonders every single day. And I thank my creator for giving an opportunity to experience his creations during its peak. Just being a part of  Nature is an ecstatic feeling. I am humbled and moved. And once again, I thank my creator and my husband, without them I wouldn’t be here!!
