Hey people, sort of feeling blue today. Everything is going on fine and dandy and then all of a sudden things start going weird. I was talking to my cousin who is in Australia, and we were talking about our childhood memories and I asked him... when will we (the whole family) be together again. And he says "maybe never." And that got me sort of distressed. I remember when our huuge family had get-togethers. As all of my cousins are around the same age as I am, we always got along fantastically. When other people use to be hanging out with friends, we use to be hanging out with cousins. We were so close that some friends use to envy me and my family. And today, all of my cousins are in some different part of the world. Some are in Australia, some in UK,India, Nepal, NY, NE, TX, VA... and the list goes on. Its sort of sad that we have not had a get together where all cousins were present for the last 7-8 years. Its weird how all of a sudden this generation of Nepali people decided to emmigrate all over the world. And as a result, there are families that need to plan years in advance to meet up with each other. The last time I was together with both my parents and my brother was 3.5 years ago, and we could only meet for a week or so! We are hoping to meet again next year, but we have been planning for that time for ever. Oh well!! I can go rumbling on about this forever.. and I know no one is going to read it because its saturday and no one is really going to visit sajha. LOL, I guess I just needed to vent my frustrations somewhere!
