Its really great to visit a Indian jewellery shop when u r in abroad and get
something for urself.
We have the Eshaan Jewellery in Charlotte (45 mins from university area).
We visited there and almost all the jewellery were in 22k gold.
They dont have the making /wastage charges as we do have in india.
So we have to be really careful about the rates.
Nevertheless,the designs were kind of good and we had studs right from 1 gm.

My favourite Sitcoms in TV
The Time-Warner Cable provides some noteworthy channels like TBS,Tvland,AMC and they telecast some old comic sitcoms featured in late 1990's or early 2000's.
Some of my favourites :
1)Everybody Loves Raymond- I Just love Ray like anything.
Each character is unique and peculiar in their own way.
As u keep watching the sitcom,u really get addicted and start behaving like them ,esply Ray.
2)Nanny-Fran's nasal voice is a huge plus.All the dialogues are comical.CC and Niles are worth mentioning characters in the series which will bring u more laughter.
3)Friends -Everyone knows abt them.
4)Rosanne -Very old one.Thir house seems to be very very lull..but nevertheless,another gud 1 to watch
5)Chopped-Competitive series of choosing a winner among a group of contestants.
6)Food Network Star-similar one.
7)George Lopez-gud one

Shopping in India Vs Shopping in US
Shopping -This buzz word will make anyone to gear up!!Yes,it has got such power in it.
I havent been a regular shopper in chennai @ India.
But i do visit the pondy bazaar T.ngr once in a month or nearby shops in my nearby areas with my mom.
I used to buy all those earnings ,bindis,bags which will cost u very less but gives pleasure as if u hv bought a diamond jewellery.
And all those fast food in the corners of the streets, the aroma of nalli,kumaran, the elegance of the jewellery shops,the huge crowd gasping for air in saravana stores ,the platform shops....
OMG..All those things appear elusive to me now..!!
Whether i returned home with lot of items or not,I always came home with lot of happiness.
Yes,shopping there do relieves ur tension,make u stay more motivated,makes u yearn to earn more money .
And should i say i did the greatest shopping ever for my marriage & engagement.I had to get matching bangles,sandals ,sarees,salwars & what not.
Though I had oppurtunites or reasons to shop more,i did not have time due to my job pressure bcoz i was going to resign after marriage.
Even after marriage,I did shop as i was going to come to US .
My hubby had been here with his friends .
So had to get new cooking stuffs for us.
Shopping in US
-------------------
imm....
So many constraints for shopping in US
We really have to be lucky to have a shopping mall nearby to our home.Otherwise,travelling will be a hurdle to do shopping.
Luckily,I had the concord mills which was just 15 mins from our home.
But I wont say u can return home with 10 or 15 shopping bags as in India.
Main reason being the price .But u hv to really keep looking for some gud quality stuffs at a cheaper rate.
Some times u get nice t-shirts in clearance or in sale.
We usually go for shopping during sale like thanksgiving sale/juy 4 sale/christmas sale.
It doesnt mean when we visit the other days,we dont buy anything.We do buy things but it will be mostly for time pass.
And one thing here in US is if you are buying something expensive,then definitely u dont hv to doubt for its quality.
And yeah,I do even the satisfication of shopping as in India,by going to the 1 $ shop where i get lot of earrings just for 1$ ...:-)
