at home now... for perhaps my last hols for quite sometime to come... its pretty cool actually.. the very knowledge that I may not get to be so lazy any time in the future helps me relax... otherwise, I am generally nagging everyone around me about how bored I am and how useless I fell lazing around...
Its my aunt's marriage on tenth.. so my entire household is in a perpetual buzz of activities... jewels, saris, dowry, deciding the shanti muhurtam (first night in layman's language), (incidentally it happens to be a one hour time slot specified by an astrologer... yes, people, tam men have to be that efficient ;-) ), visiting relatives, compliments (it so happens that I am the next in line!) about how grown up and (apparently) feminine I have become (from the brat they probably remember.. ), mehendi, makeup, flowers... the whole lot... ITS FUN!!
other than that, nothing happening here... doing the work of a handmaid for the entire family.. bank and bills for dad, grocery for mom and games and library with sis... its a really relaxed and fun life and sometimes I wish life was really as slow and uncomplicated as this... but probably, the proverbial urge to explore the new and the unknown will make shirk this lethargic life and help me get set and go...
so long...
