Pehli Baar Mohobbat ki hain.. aa haan.
Dont get carried away by the title. thats just a song I have been humming.
Bada Mazaa Aya.. Well. Ok.. So what happened is that Swat ran away from home with Tonn... It was just SO exciting! Here was a meitie (read Manipuri) boy and a jaathni (read Haryanvi) running away from Chandigarh to Pune to get married in the Maharashtran way! The wedding was organized at a Hall in Alandi. Supposedly this place is infamous for these kinds of marriages!
All the time I kept humming the tune of “Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai” from Kaminey. I mean being in the midst of all the drama, the emotions, was just too much fun! Yes, yes, I was also taking immense pleasure from the confusion and conflicts that Swat and Tonn were going through. I just couldn’t help it! So yeah, I had the duty of updating the folks back home about what’s going on this side. I name myself the official Wedding Correspondent for the day. Sab khabar le rahe the. And I did my part pretty well, Thank you! I gave all the details I could from what color lehenga Swat wore, what was Tonn wearing, what jewellery Swat had, what time was the ceremony, where we are, what are they doing, what are we eating, where are we standing, etc. etc. Full details full mein. In all this what I though was awesome was the girl and the boy's enthusiasm. They look so happy together that it would be a sin to pull them away from each other.
The wedding was attended by close friends but the immediate families of the boy and girl could not attend it for obvious reason. Bhai bhaag ke shaadi kar rahe the naa! However, there will be a wedding again with the parents present which again I intend to attend.
Was thinking of writing much more but that would take ages to write. So as for now I am just so excited on being part of this whole Filmy Type Shaadi! God Bless the Couple!
Peace

Birthday Week!
Its' My Birthday Week!! Yippee! No I am not 16 or 13! But am extremely excited. I am looking forward to my birthday like Zombie waiting for his biscuit. Yes, yes, of course all this excitement is mainly due to the fact that RD is coming to town to celebrate my birthday! Yay!
Now, its time to count the things done and those that were left undone. Last year went by so quick! But then all the years have. Its been a topsy turvy year for me. I tried recounting the things I had done in the past one year.. decided that its a long list to jot down here and I could get tiresome just writing it.. So...
The year had some moments when I was overwhelmed by emotions I never knew I had. It had its share of the good, the bad and a bit of ugly. I have regretted not doing some things too. Learnt a few things and committed the same mistakes. I have travelled a fair deal. I have discovered a few things in me. I have fallen at times. Experienced and experiencing being in Love. Its been a year I shall never forget.
On each birthday I start thinking of the numerous birthdays I have had. Gets me to think how I am changing. But there is one birthday that still pinches the most and that is the one of 2007. I didnt cut a birthday cake that year. It was the loneliest one. Ok. Better memories. I remember those spent when my mom and my sisters would hide the gift they bought for me and my joy when I received them. I always had a party when I was in school :). Sometimes in the club and sometimes at home.. Things were the same and not yet same in college. Birthdays meant going out for food and later drinks in the small cramped hostel rooms. actually the rooms were big enough but we were too many to fit in. heh heh.
This might be followed with a few more posts after my birthday because I have suddenly lost my chain of thoughts and I would rather post this before my birthday than afer.
Love and Peace

Oh, i have a Blog!
Just remembered that i had a blog! heh heh.. Thinking of posting more often.
So yeah, i feel like saying nothing much has happened knowing that a lot has happened. But that later.
So, there are the Dos and Donts which I had made up in my mind about a lot of things. And when the time comes to follow them I suck at it!! Some of the Dos and Donts I am finding hard to follow:
a) Do Call Your Friends- Sad to admit it but...
b) Do Lose Weight- This has been there in the list for a long time..
c) Do not roll your eyes while talking to the Uncle- Thats a reflex action and needs a lot of self control! Working on it..
d) Do some craft work- it did begin but it never seemed to end!!
e) Do save that extra buck- Well..
f) Do not leave the bulby plant in the open- I always want that plant to experience the rain but forget to get it in once its done which has led to the plant kind of wilting i think.. Excess of anything is bad.
g) Do not frown while thinking- This is also a reflex action and needs a lot of effort.
h) Do wake up at 7 AM- Hmmmm.. its not just not happening. The "bass paanch minute aur" turns into 30 minutes aur..
i) Do not think that you know everything- I always fall for this trap. I think I am too smart sometimes and well then I get into trouble... hee hee..
j) Do not sleep while talking on the phone- It leads to dreams where you think you are still talking.
k) Do cover the milk before putting it in the fridge.. leads to a lot of accidents otherwise.. Have you ever had milk wali dal?
I think thats it for now.. I mean the list might get longer so i want to stop. This is looking more like a New Year Resolution now.. hmmmmm...
Have been inspired by looking at people's photographs and now attempting to try something myself. Wise One once said "Don't try too hard". Again something to think about. Dont want to scare everyone with my random photographs.
Thats it for now.
Live Long and Prosper!

Dedicated to the "B" Gang
When I moved from Kolkata to Patiala I was excited about a new beginning and yet feared that this might be the end of the comfortable World I knew. I was leaving everything to go to a place which I didn’t even know existed till two years before I embarked on the journey. I had always wanted to run away. To go far away from Kolkata because I thought I would never be able to get out and see the world! Well… that is that... It’s really interesting how the people you thought you would never ever hang out with at first turn out to be your best friends. Never had I imagined being friends with these bright, intelligent, adventurous, crazy, dramatic, rebellious, stubborn, opinionated, witty and beautiful women. All different from the other. Yes, we were not as close when we first met. Each had a very different opinion of the other or none at all. But as time went by all of us found each other. And soon College was our play ground and each a player of the same Team. Always standing up against injustice. Fighting for “The Cause” whatever that maybe as long as it is for our rights. College and hostel made us stronger. We never ever let anyone break us. My friends were my support then and are still today.
I miss each one of them. I miss the laughter and the always making sense of a lot of things of Ms. Pink. The smiling face and the lets get them attitude of Ms. Pretty and Petite was something no one could resist. Ms. Dramatic, I miss your brashness sometimes and definitely the craziness. I am sorry I missed your wedding. You could always make out Ms. Determined and the Looker from far. She had a lost look on her face and would be usually trying to get into the conversation none the less. A Pilot now- she has made us proud. Whenever I got scared or missed home I could always squeeze Ms. Sensitive yet Strong. I wish you were here to do my hisaab kitaab. Ms. Charming is The Fun Party Girl plus The You Can Lean On Me Anytime Friend. An awesome Cook and a Clean Freak, she is the closest one. Trying to maintain the balance between the rest of us.
I do wish we had more time to spend with each other. To each of the 6s I want to say I miss you.
