I start my blog challenge today onwards. I was busy painting last week and had my creative energies directed there. My first post of the blog challenge ” Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now”
1. To the Almighty: Thank you so much for everything. I feel like I am one of your favorite child. I hope I get a job soon and with part of the money I earn, I can help those in need in small ways.
2. To my late grandfather (dada): Not a single day passes by without remembering you. Thank you so much for loving us all children with all your heart. I miss the times we spent together and I wish you were here today to see your sinhaadi (that’s how he pronounced my name) married, settled in the US and driving a Blue Honda Civic 🙂 During my dada’s last few days he would always talk about buying a blue Honda Civic. At that time, little did I know that I would end up marrying a man in the US who owns one. Its the most basic car one can have here in the US, but what makes it so special for me is that it is my husband’s first car & it was my dada’s dream to own one.
3. To my parents: Thank you for making me what I am today. Thank you for sending me to Mumbai to pursue further studies ( which helped me shape my life) and allowing me to lead my life the way I wanted ( allowing me to choose my career, my decision to work, my decision to marry sagar and come to the US).
4. To my brother: Relax and let things take their own course. Don’t resist changes in your life as few years down the line you will it all happened for a good reason.
5. To my husband: Thank you for your unconditional love and support. I am lucky to have you as my husband.
6. To President Obama: Please pass the H4 EAD rule, I cannot wait to live my American dream. After all, I have worked hard to get my MS and become a Registered Dietitian and want to improve the health of your people and help Americans prevent chronic disease and help the country save dollars spent on healthcare 🙂
7. To hospitals, food companies, school nutrition services: Hire me! You will never regret this decision 🙂
8. To my husband’s boss: Please work towards getting a work-life balance for your employees.
9. To my friends in Japan: We miss seeing you guys. Last week we saw this movie “Memoirs of A Geisha” which reminded us of the cultural night we spent in Kyoto with Maiko’s performance and yummy, vegetarian seven course dinner!
10. To myself: You did a great job so far! Enjoy your free time! Keep up your spirit and be the change you want to see.
