reasonable excuses

okay... since it's been a while since there's been a proper post... i think i owe it to the VERY few ppl who bothered to notice!
quite a bit has been going on.. highlights of which are as follows:
- SHE is back2blog. all engaged n all. so, go congratulate her! while, dewey is away. that kinda reflects on the low comment count, doesn't it?! but she's been kind enough to visit the blog and get those exotic country flags up there! thenks.
- vin walks the walk on the 14th. FINALLY. that will get it's own post. pucca.
- we're a month away from moving. but we still don't know the EXACT date we move, which mover we would use or when we would move out our stuff! we do know where we're going. thanks heavens for small mercies.
- i've started thinking of packing... which essentially means that my house now looks like a warehouse that was raided. yes, the second bedroom is kinda littered with most of the stuff that should be packed. and erm... yes... i will get to it. eventually. which also means that no guests are now allowed to visit! :D
- i realized that i have a helluva lot of stuff. never thought of myself to be a hoarder. but i guess i have some of my mom's genes too!
- EVERY little bit i own has it's set of memories attached and i can't get myself to give it away or even worse, trash it. makes it all the more difficult to pack and puts me in a vague mood.

this coupled with the fact that there haven't been ANY decent hindi movies of late ensures that i've been leading a rather hassled life. and no, i do NOT wish to watch rakhi ka swayamvar. neither will i watch the potter movie. thank you very much!

so there! now that i've got that off my mind... maybe i can get back to posting regularly...
i know i haven't been too regular on all the blogs i read. but i shall make up for that. soon.

Yayayayay! I finally get a chance to hound you back about packing.. in case you have forgotten, you did hound me when i was moving back last year. Yeah, that's how good a friend i am :P

well, good you posted.. do keep up, even if it's only to tell us how much hate packing and the status of your warehouse oops house :D

And oh, before i get carried away and write a comment longer than your post, congratulations to Vin.

~alice (almost forgot to write the name! )

Lavs said...

Aparna said...

Eeeks, I hate moving.I do not envy you at all. My house is full of junk and I have conveniently shoved everything under the bed.
Best of luck with all that packing.

Miss M said...

Thats exactly why i loved orkut and facebook. To re-connect with all my friends back in india. And i am STILL getting in touch with a few of them.

It's a nice feeling, really. :)
