Incoming Mail....

Hello Everyone!! Yes, I still exist on earth!!! I know I'm writing after a very long time and this was mainly because of my MBA program. From the time I left my home for another city, I've been missing writing,blogging and sending mail. Occasionally, I've been sending cards to my pals but I hope to catch up with them and start writing back again....here's what I got in last week...

Secret Penpal Scavenger Hunt

Well, I got this package from my partner Erika in the pen pal hunt( organized by Fab) two days ago just on the last day of my exam and it completely cheered me up.These were the items included in that:

 I was really sad that the Washington cup got completely got damaged during the journey but I tried my best to revive it by gluing. Although it was not a great attempt, but at least it is in one piece now.

I loved everything in this- from the blue dolphin,the wooden box with candies, Earthscapes stamps,Seattle key chain,handmade wool Christmas ornament to the different city stickers. Everything was amazing!!!!

Thank you Fab for organizing the Secret Pen pal Scavenger Hunt.....I am looking forward for another round. Thank you Erika for sending such wonderful things and making it the perfect package for me.

 I want to watch all the beautiful movies nominated for the Academy Awards but it's a pity that not all the movies are available in India at the moment.So, I have to wait for the DVD releases, though I was lucky enough to watch Life of Pi (last November) in the theater.
