9 days at home....

After a long gap of two years finally i was able to make it home for Holi...
Last year because of my trip to the "Khajoor Country" I missed Holi.

The whole vacation of 9 days from 11th till 19th…was full of fun... or rather I would say full of events...
It began right from the moment I arrived on Mumbai airport. Shweta was leaving for London and I was supposed to be at international airport by midnight to wish her happy journey... Thanks to Air Deccan... 9 40 flights left Bangalore at 12 00... and put a question mark on whole plan. Although I was able to meet her but that was only after a lot of running around and waiting...
It was already 3 30 am by the time I left international airport. Last train had left... and after that I had to go to Hansini's home...The rest of Saturday was spent at home eating sleeping and reading books

Then there was the great fun for Holi... two days full of excitement. Mainly because I had missed holi last year... we had so much fun working for holi and plying colors and dancing next day that body pained for next two days... I think I shall write separately about holi.
We also had a small get together at home mainly to welcome new member into our family that is my cousin's fiancée... I got to meet many members of family after a really long time.

There were two more important incidents that I can not miss out...
On Sunday I met Deepa...We knew each other for months but never met face to face before. We spent entire Sunday evening roaming around Dadar and Churchgate. Although we were looking for hands free for my phone and some books... the real purpose was to know each other... We spent entire evening on the marine drive...

I also got to know what it is like "when one gets a marriage proposal" or in Marathi we call it "Mulgee sangun yene". Till now I used to get periodic news from my mother that such such persons were "enquiring"... but on the first day at home itself I came across it... in the afternoon some relatives came home with a proposal and I happened to be at home. of course I did not say anything and let my parents it, but still it tells me where I stand and how I m being looked upon by the society...bakraa is ready.... hahaha...

And I could feel the difference too... it was only a year and half ago that I could meet "female" friends... and there were no problems when Rupali was at home two days for my sister's wedding. And on Sunday when I told my mother about evening spent with Deepa.. She expressed her concerns about what will be impact for the girl if people who know us see us roaming around together.....

Surely the world is changing for me.....
