Serenity!

My boss just called in sick. Aaaahhh.. What a peaceful day it's gonna be! Thanku God! :)

My Candy Shop!

I felt like a 5 year old yesterday. Marraige shopping does this to you. I have my roka (sorta an engagement) in August and I was running helter skelter the day I knew of the decision. All questions, paying attention to detail was my thing.

What dress? What color? What make-up? What venue? What decoration? Guest-list? What menu? What gifts? What jewellery?...etc

This was me.... and then there is my to-be fiance.....the calm machine! He's so calm about it. He's not at all affected.
I asked him last night, "Have you thought of what you wanna wear,coz I have already chosen my color... " and he's like " Nooooo..haven't thought of it...we still have so much time"
So much Time???? Where? Before I know it, August is around the corner.But then again... that's him..

I went to chose my outfit yesterday and yes it was like I was in a candy shop. Everything was so beautiful. So breath-taking. I wanted to pick them all. Lehenga Cholis had a different meaning yesterday. It was invented to make you believe that you can transform into a princess...but just for a day :)

There was the beautiful maroon, the grand red, the naughty lime green, the elegant pink, the sexy black, the bright yellow & mauve.
AAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I wanted all.

Okay so that's not possible. I haven't picked anything yet. Still deciding. Will probably be going back today. The lime yellow took my breath away,then I'm a sucker for the pink and ferozee, but then my favorite color is black..Okay...this is not funny.

I have to decide.....FAST!

Don't feel like working.

Just don't feel like it at all today. It' s a beautiful day today, bright, sunny and yet not that hot. Guess where I have to be on this beautiful day... in the office!!!!!

Applied for my leave in August which got surprisingly approved at the first go. 1 whole month...aaaaahhh absolute bliss.

I don't know what this is.. I have lived abroad all my life, never felt the need of going back home.. for the past 2 years have been visiting India, and trust me, I don't know if this happens with the other NRIs but I feel great being back in my own country during my holidays, though I don't know much about the place.. It really feels nice. I don't know, it's a feeling that I just can't describe.

Previously, I must admit, wasn't too high on going back. The same thing most of the NRI kids face. Our own personal "Bisleri" bottle to be taken everywhere you go.Every single where you go!!! Could'nt eat off road sides shack , while your parents are hogging their guts off. Had to apply half a tube of "odomas"(hope that's the way it's spelt) before going to sleep, or you would wake up looking as if you've just got chicken pox. Getting tortured by the relatives who you never even knew existed ("Arre....tuuu....haiiiiiii... kitni badi ho gayi hai....pata hai.. tujhe sirf itna sa dekha tha..") hmm...whatever.

In the beginning, I could never understand why they had cows dividing the road for a two-way. Now I just smile. Don't even carry my personal water bottle, However, yes I do still apply half a tube of odomas :)
Those freaky relatives don't affect me anymore, the minute they start with their "Oh My God, How much have you grown" syndrome. I do retort on how old they've become too. *nasty*;)

But I did get to explore the place more for these last 2 years, and I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to go now. Now that I'll be settling there after marraige, it's sorta growing on me.

God.. all this writing about my leave has got me all excited....Sigh! another 2 1/2 months to go.

Can't wait!
