What a start :P

Well, I'm back! Have officially joined the Calcutta office :)

I reached office at 9 am (not coz it was my first day, but rather coz I'm always on time) to find an almost vacant office! There were 2 females though, one of whom let me in, coz I had no access card. She tells me casually that generally people start walking in around 9.30- 10 am and some also come in around 10.30! As usual I couldn't keep my big mouth shut and start off about how people always come in on time in Mumbai :D to which her instant reply is that they work very long hours here and generally are in office till 8-9 pm (which basically justifies coming in a lil late in the morning :P

People here are not that bad really...actually to be fair to them, they are pretty friendly...they'll greet you with a wide grin and a big hi, which was actually lacking in Mumbai...

And I've decided to take it as it comes and not act all snobbish....so am mixing with people, using my broken bengali and trying hard to mix in... sigh... let's see how it goes....

p.s. I Hate Change- you have to re-adjust, make new friends etc etc :(

Random cribs after a LONG time...

Mood: Nostalgic/sad
Music: Aye-dil-e-nadaan

I'd say I'm a little disappointed...I just had so much expectations about coming home and I haven't met them...maybe I'm being too hard on myself coz I've been here only 15 days and I was busy with planning my sister's bachelorette party and then practicing for the Geet (btw, my performance was awesome) and no Megh- I din't repeat my "Shabbo" dance- that's best forgotten! The wedding is on Saturday and this entire week will go by in small non-issues like wedding preparations and attending guests... sigh!
There's just so much I want to write, just want to talk to someone, get some free gyan, just vent out all my frustration in front of someone who would understand the 10 million things running in my head...! But the sad part is that the one person who would understand at least 9.9 million of these things (if not all 10 million of them) is the person who's getting married and has no time for my small immature thoughts and doubts. And I'm also disappointed because I'm being hard on her too- I mean obviously she's nervous and jittery and needs me...so I should be there for her instead of wanting her to be there for me na?
And as I'm sitting here typing on my lappy at 2 am, she's right there under the blanket talking to her fiance in hushed tones- not knowing that I'm sitting here crying bitterly coz I'm gonna miss her big time...! Waise we both better finish off all our crying in this week only- coz during the vidai the video will look horrible... :((

Paarrddyyyy time....!

The bridal shower thrown for my sister was just perfect. It couldn't get perfecter than this. Even though things got a li'l screwed in the last moment, we managed to pre-pone it and get the arrangements done in the last moment :)

The food, games, decorations, prizes, music- everything simply rocked! I would just loooove to give the details of everything here...but it could get a little scandalous ;)

A new year...a new beginning

I can't believe how fast the last year has passed...it has definitely been one of the more eventful years I have had. Now that the new year is starting, I am back with my resolutions and determination to do some great work...

Feels nice to be home though...am eating and eating and eating... :)
