Love - Hmmm what a lovely feeling!!!!

It might sound funny, but its true everyday I experience love of a different kind from Roshan. Its truely magical. I sometimes feel that by his constantly telling those three words " I love you" to me, he is ruining the feeling , but then I wonder it wont be the same if he stopped doing that. 

With him its very different than your regular stuff. Usually people say that those who keep telling dont show it or those who show it dont say it. With Roshan he does both. Tells me loudly and shows it even louder. I find it very over whelming at times but then I enjoy the feeling. I find him very cute. Call me mushy but its the truth he is cute. 

I like it how when he returns from work he smiles at me. No matter how bad the day has gone he smiles. I like it when he compliments my cooking when sometimes the food isn't up to the mark. I like it when he looks out for me when we are in a public place. It may be termed as PDA but I am totally comfortable with it. It just shows what I mean to him. 

I guess I could write volumes but somethings are very private. This is the most I could disclose.

I Love You Roshan. Thank you for coming into my life and changing it for the best ( I wont say better as that a wrong word).

A Place Full of Drama - Delhi.

We went to Delhi for a friend's wedding. The wedding itself was great. It was one of those high, up market weddings in which it was all about what you were wearing or who you were wearing and all that jazz. The wedding was presided by 2 events, we went for one which was the Mehendi function. It was kind off in the open. So we Mumbaiwalas froze. It was cold. The next two days was the actual wedding and the reception. again we froze because it was cold. The wedding party had organised heaters so it was comfortable around them heaters.

I will come to the main point of this post. Well I felt Delhi has a a lot of drama with an attitude attached to it. People can be so daft. Its not funny. People out there are not ready to acknowledge the fact that they don't know something. They have to show there intelligence. Will give you an example. When you ask for directions to a place they won't say they don't know but they will say that it just 5 minutes down the road you are on. But its not only on an entirely different road but in a completely opposite direction. 

Then if you open your mouth and say that you are from Mumbai then you are bombarded with one or all of the following three topics. One whether we know anyone from Bollywood or are related to any of them. Two the underworld and Three and most popular 26/11 whether any of us saw or had someone we knew in the venues of the attacks. Its not funny how they ask these question.

We have always heard of the Delhi Walas showing off about their connections to some politician or a land lord or some big police fellow. We had just heard of it but had never seen it in person. One night we went to a night club called F bar and we witnessed the show off in person. One local guy throws a glass at this foreigner guy and starts yelling " You don't know who I am . I am Lucky". Apparently his name was Lucky and the other guy was just Marcel and was unlucky. well that was a high drama there.

Then of course we women went shopping to the usual places and did what we do best. we went to Chandni Chowk for the Parathas In the Parathe Wali gali. Those had its own charm. Chandni Chowk is know famously called Delhi 6 after the movie by the same name. 

I all we noticed that Delhiwalas were always wanting to compete with Mumbaikars but sadly don't know that Mumbaikars are not even in a competition

Its a place of high drama and zero expectations. I would say its a livable city provided you have a car and the attitude to live there. 

In the end I would just say the line from the movie Delhi 6- Yeh Delhi Hai Mere Yaar!!!

Veena's and Hemisha's Joint Venture and More

I mentioned somewhere in my last post that I have started a business with my best friend in Sydney Australia. I am very excited about it. Will explain the works of it in detail.

1. I do the shopping of a number of items namely Junk Jewellry, Bindis, Clips, Purses, Mobile Purses, Artifacts, Heram Pants, Stolls, Kurtis etc etc....
2. Click pictures of all the products (sometimes I have to act a model and pose for the products hahaha) and send to my friend.
3. She checks them out and puts them on to the blog www.madeinindiya.blogspot.com.
4. I send the parcel as a courier to my friend. 
5. Parcel takes 3-4 days to reach my friend.
6 My friend sees the stuff ( gets excited) and also clicks some pictures which might have not come good in the first try.
7. Updates the blog and sends it to her friends and family out there in Australia.
8. She gets calls from potential customers tells them to come and pick up the items over the weekend.
9. She lets me know on the email or on gtalk ( I love the voice calls btw) what items are a hit and what are a miss.
10. The entire circle starts all over again.

Basically ( thats my favourite word) its a 10 step process. There are certian other things that don't really feature in the 10 steps. They are the research that goes into the buying (on myside) and the leg work and hard selling expanding which goes into ( on her side). In all feels good to be doing something. Oh ya and the fun it is to shop with a purpose, it is too good.  

Well both my friend and I are learning in the process, we know its going to take time to start off in a big way, so we are keeping our patience. 

Hmmm thats about it about the business front.

And now for the More part.

Again so many things happened that its very difficult to write about. only would like to say a generalised statment.

"I just hope some better sense privails in everyone in India and around the world at large."

No Idea!?!?

Its been long I know. The thing is so many things have happened that one can't seem to understand which topic to choose from and write about it. 

Terrorism, reccession, petrol strike, satyam fiasco, Barak Obama, Pakistan said this India said that, Mumbai attacks. These were the topics that came in mind to write but......I thought hasn't so much been writen already about them.

Of course these are topics in general. I could have writen about things that are happening in my life. Buying washing machine, getting my new driver's licence, Trips to Mangalore and back, Starting a business with a close friend, The renovation of the bathroom, Christmas, Attending a full flegded Mangi wedding or even Roshan and I completing a year as husband and wife. 

I figured there would come something more important and more worth talking about, rather writing about.I am still waiting for that. Something tells me that I will definatly get something soon. 

Till then I am still observing from my deck.
