Trip Up North - Part 2: Meet The Parents

Image
For the uninformed, the entire trip up north to Gujarat this past Christmas week was so that my parents could meet up with Smitha's parents. None of us were really expecting anything much to happen - it was supposed to be a simple s pend time together  thingy. So after that decent train journey, I landed in Baroda at around 05.15 on Monday, the 22nd of December, 2008. I caught an auto (with the help of RM's dad, since I don't know Hindi o r  Gujarati) to the hotel where my parents were put up. They were waiting up for me and we had a nice lil reunion early in the morning. I then set off to wake up ma sweetie. I entered Smitha's house, and aunty is like "Smitha!!! Wake up, wake up wake up!" while I was like "Nooooooooo!!!! Let her sleep, please!!!!" :) I just simply love  watching her sleep. She looks soooo beautiful and peaceful. Here, take a look. My own sleeping beauty I just sat there for some time, watching her sleep. After she woke up and we h...

re:birthing?

Possibly. Hopefully. There's a lotta change involved with my life right now. Over the past few months, I've been spending loads of time on Wikipedia and certain of its sister projects... Chk out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ajcfreak for more info on that. Well, right now, the biggest changes are these - my longtime friend from college, the one and only Ru is getting married this Saturday. It's gonna be awesome and its got all of us excited (us, as in, the dudes and the gals!) So Thursday - Monday I'll be in God's own country - Kottayam, to be exact. On Sunday, my dear bro takes a flight out to the UK. Lucky dude, uh?! Why oh why?! :) Nah... Me actually happy for him. Just sad for me, is all. Otherwise, things are going wonderful, I guess... I'm completing 14 months at work. Awesome... There's an awesome comp at home. It's been there for a coupla months. Mebbe I'll drool all about it in a post soon. Lastly, lemme just point out that I just seem...

He's back... And how!!!

My bro is finally back from the UK. He got back last week, actually... And how!!! With a nice shaggy haircut (or the lack of it!) and completely clean-shaven face... And full of stories of how the service people had messed up almost everything on his trip....... Noone survived the onslaught of thecomputersam, I tell you - Dominoes Pizza UK, TGIF's UK, HSBC UK, KLM Airlines Amsterdam.... Ain't that enough? And he came back with an armload of CCM (Christian Music) CDs which rock (Mostly cos I asked him to get these! ;) ) Anyways, he's back. And he's back to occupying half the house. Feels good. Was good when he was away, is good now that he's back. I think that sums it all up. Apart from him coming back, here's what's been happening - I've not met any of ma friends over the past coupla weekends - ever since I got back from my trip to Mysore-Ooty-Madras.... Dunno why. Just never got down to it. And ma church-going is taking a back seat too. Need to get that...

Love... And life-ing it!!!

Awesome... Simply awesome. The past coupla days have been some of the toppest ones in B'lore. I'm loving it!!! (Hence the title for this post ;) ) I've spent quite sometime with Aneka (CSI CEans would be knowing her!) and it's been really good. She came home on a morning, last week. side comment >>> That's when I realised... Having a gal over is SOOOO much different from havin a guy (Jochu!) over... The house needs sprucing up!!! Sam, ya got budget fer that???? I've met Anek's aunt (wid whom she's staying) and her aunt's kids. They're pretty cool people and quite friendly. I was at the Christmas eve lunch/party (no booze) at my cuz's place.... Met quite a few new people. Then discovered on Christmas morn that most of them attend da same church as I do - All Peoples Church!!! How cool is that??? Christmas day was really cool. I finished church with Aneka and I was jus droppin her off near her place when my TL called. He said I could t...
