Sucker for Competitions This is an incredibly clever marketing tactic to drive web traffic to a hotel website, but hey, I fell for it too. Follow the prompts on the right column on the world map, point to Australia and read my travel story in www.sheraton.com My story is the one with the photo of the fountain. There's no selection critiria so even you can share your favourite travel story.

You Know Your Age When ... Last week, I was in an induction course at my work place and our trainer had us playing a team game of Categories. When the letter "M" came up, my team unanimously agreed to go with my choice which was ""Murder on the Orient Express" as the trick of the game is to try not to come with the same choice as another team might select the same and thus precious points are lost. Guess what?!? You know when your age is a dead give away when you are in a room full of young graduates most of them born in the late '70s or '80s and then you come up with a movie name that most of them are totally unfamiliar with.  Sigh!

Stringing Beads It must be a girlie thing - our little one is already taking interest in Mummy's beads and bags. Here is a blatant advertisement of my very own design - yes, I beaded the necklace in the photo in less than 10 minutes with my vast collection of blue and green glass beads bought from the bead shops in the narrow gullies of Pune's bazaars and matched with Czech crystal beads from the upmarket bead stores here in Sydney. If you happen to like it, please do let me know. I might be inspired to start a home business if I can get any free time after bub is fast asleep - maybe ?!? I can even string bracelets and make earrings though I am still getting around to making identical wrapped loops for dangling beads.
