swinging v2.0

yes, a geeky joke.

And yes, i have been known to be a bit of a geek sometimes but guess what i saw in the backyard this morning? Nia and Jayden discovered a new and improved way to swing.

And for once instead of shying away from my camera, they were actually hamming it up. Aysha, in the meantime, took the opportunity to pour sand down my sink and then attempted to cover up her handiwork by running water over it causing the sink to clog but that’s a whole different story. sigh…

Onto some other news, I am going to the bon jovi concert this Friday. Yay!! My love affair with bon jovi, much to john’s disdain, started a long time ago when i was barely a teenager in india. My friend, Kanch had just moved to the city from Australia and brought with her some Bon Jovi albums. Popular there but not so much in india. And thus it began – my introduction to the music that would essentially come to typify my growing years. We have *so many* memories intertwined with their music. Music just has an uncanny way of transporting you instantaneously to another period in your life. Even now, when i hear some of their earlier music i am taken back to what was a wonderful time in my life. Needless to say, I am a HUGE fan.

The last concert i went to was years ago. We had a whole group of friends go (yes, even john!) and it was a fun night. I knew they were coming to town but by the time i looked I didn’t find tickets that would work and so i gave up.

Well, last night Arch calls me from San Fran and tells me (get this–) she’s at the Bon Jovi concert in a suite complete with a bar and food. And all “phenyl” as we like to say in hyd. That triggered the nostalgia again. I went a-looking this morning and snagged some tickets that’ll work. Not quite archana style but it’ll do And so we’re going. Daughtry is opening and since i like some of his music too – it’s just a bonus.
