Valentines

Ok, so its that time of the year when people HAVE to go out on a day and EXPRESS their love, and a group of kurta-clad people HAVE to show their angst against the 'foreign' concept. Bloody immature people! Those who are raising a hue and cry are misled. The opposition should be against indecent behavior and not expression of love. And i know most would debate the definition of 'indecent behavior'. Well stop kissing in public places for one. And you get the drift. And Why 14th feb? why not 15th, 16, or any other day for that matter.

Achha quit it. Heavy police presence in Kamla nagar, Demonstrations on one end of bungalow road, Gawdy guys, cheap crowd is wat i made of Valentine's.

Other than that, the reason for this late post is that i have been travelling and partying hard. Well, nothing has come over me suddenly, blame it on the marriage season. First it was my Dear friend Arindem's wedding ceremonies and what a wedding it was. Seeing them pose for the photos was like a dream. All those years when the gang went hanging around, this was something never thought would happen, although we all wished for it, but we never visualised how it would be like.
And then came the big ticket show in Gwalior. My Celeb bhai marrying the Kaanta Laga girl, although no one in the family talks about the video. Better that they don't. And she is so opposite of her screen image. Call her the in-law's home effect or whatever. To me, she came accross as shy, unassuming, sweet and respectful. Well, to be honest i went there for the opportunity to travel than to attend the celeb wedding. The party had a host of TV actors and singers coming down. Mika and Anamika performed. and so did the meet brothers themselves. And to be honest, i felt a bit left out at times. Had it not been for papa's company, it wud have been difficult. And for all people, my ma was the most star struck. And those cheap people, posing with these guys frm bombay, they had turned the family affair into some ....i dont know wat. But then i made friends with my bhabhi's parents!..imagine? I was talking to Shefali's parents casually, and they sure are very nice people. Very easy to get along with, and some similarities between the punjabi gregariousness and the Gujju affability was there.

Then the visit to the Gwalior fort and the Scindia's palace was worth the time and effort. So my tally of indian states i have atleast visited, has gone up by one. Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab of course. Next on the agenda is Rajasthan.

Is that it.....there was so much i wanted to yap about the trip to Gwalior....may be i will when i remember them.

College is ekdum thanda. No rhythm to classes still, and we are mid way thru the semester. I dont know wat is going to happen. The placements are rambling along, and i dont want to talk of the summers. Better things are in store i hope.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. May you celebrate it next year with the same partner!
