Sounds a bit trivial when the whole world is caught up on the "big news" of the weekend. As I read somewhere there is nothing to celebrate over someone's death but if it brings closure to a lot of people across the world whose families were innocent victims of terror then so be it. But otherwise the only thing that should be celebrated is peace and love.
I posted a tiny msg on facebook which apparently implied some kind of victory for America when really that is not what was intended and some of my Indian friends went ballistic. Conspiracy theories to international political deal making was shared and everyone seemed indignant that America dares to "celebrate" this mission they have accomplished.
My response was basically treat this as news and the President felt the need to share it with his people for whom it symbolizes more than just slaying of a wanted man. And really enough with these conspiracy theories. We have enough and more as it is, floating around. It has made us all so paranoid and suspicious of everything. If we don't trust anyone then what will become of us? How can we ever be at peace? Atleast this President seems like a conscientious leader and is doing his best to improve things both within his country and the country's role within the global community.
Anyhows....so other than international breaking news and all the buzz around it, my weekend wasn't too bad. On Saturday, a friend came over and we set out on what we would like to call a 'shopping marathon'. 5 hrs later and blowing up enough money that cannot be disclosed as it would be inappropriate, we headed home. Made some lip smacking nachos for dinner (pics next time) and then hit the sack and slept like a log.
Sunday was mostly spent at home and evening after all the hullabaloo over "Breaking News" on CNN, grilled some Asparagus and ordered pizza for dinner, played some games (dumb charades actually) with the family and off to sleep by 10:30.
Two more weeks to go and school closes for summer break. Will post some pics later as an attempt to stay consistent with the idea of "weekend photo diary posts".
