(Epic movie, flu, London Olympics)- Awesome Stuff- Part 2

SO y'all read about the wedding? (Yeah I am writing about my life which happened nearly 10-12 months ago). BEFORE the wedding, my director called me and sat me down and asked me how will I like to get a promotion and move out? I was all like..... speechless. She prompted me once, twice and thrice. Then I said I am totally ok moving out of the city. I said I am going on leave so probably after that we could discuss it. After the wedding, I came back and realized I had been shortlisted for interview with my Director's boss for the new position in the sister hotel. I applied for it and got through (obviously not without a couple of nasty remarks from dir's boss. She is kind of mean that way. Women bosses! sigh!) So this meant moving away from AS which I totally hated. So NYE came and we partied like crazy with the rest of the sweaty people. (Having house parties from now on).

I had to join my new hotel on 9th of Jan. I was nervous with butterflies in my stomach. But I dont like talking about work here so I wont. Have more important things to discuss with you guys, you see. So a week later I messaged AS saying I am moving on and there is no point in waiting 'cuz he is never gonna get over that ex of his. He said its for the best. That literally broke my heart. Luckily it was a Friday and my parents weren't home over the weekend so I cried my eyes out. I even cried on seeing senti advertisements. sucks. Being the strong one that I am, I didn't message him AT ALL and vowed not to till he did. (Like any girl would) I went to work on Monday and we are allowed to use Skype. He came on Skype just to chat with me after 2 long years. Finally he met me on Friday and said he likes me and that that one week was probably the longest for him and if I will like to be his gf. I had played this scene over and over in my mind long before and I had decided  I would give him a hard time and say I will think about it but I didnt. I said yes immediately but obviously not before asking him if he was over that ex (will be referred to as 'it' from now on. I do NOT like her...it)

So we have been dating for like good 10 months and it has been brilliant with the occasional fights especially when I am PMS-ing (what is with guys and not understanding PMS?) Then came the epic movie of all times 'Dark Knight Rises' and I have never hooted so much before in my life for any movie or clapped for that matter. It was bloody brilliant. My cousin went for the 7 am show. ALONE. Dressed as the joker. I am surprised no newspaper got the wind of that. (My heart is with the Denver shooting victims)

Yeah I came down with the flu what with the non existent rains this time. But I ALWAYS get the flu. I don't know how. Then I ended up getting a viral (after I came back from Chandigarh after my cousin (who is younger than me which my mom doesn't let me forget) got engaged). But when I had the flu I did manage to see the London Olympics opening ceremony and Oh My God! Was it brilliant. Kudos to people of my land for making it till there.

I have finally moved into my new apt after 9 months of living with my cousin and my aunts ('cuz the commute from our house is sooooo long that I spend nearly a day traveling). My cousin is getting married and I have started dance practice for her sangeet and my family is pleasantly surprised with my 'talent' (is that what you kids are calling it these days?).

I have also realized Sunday evenings are way worse than Monday mornings. The look on everyone's face just registers doom as the sun starts setting. Right now is VERY EARLY Monday morning and I really think I should go sleep if I dont want to be late for my morning meeting. My stars haven't been really good these past couple of 10 days. More on that later (hopefully next week. No. Dont u DARE roll your eyes. I will write next week! Loser).

Gnight my lovelies and enjoy this festive season. Don't burn yourself or wear flammable clothes and prance around over lit candles. Have a fun week.

(Yeah I should be abused)- Awesome stuff- Part 1

I know I know. I am sorry. Its been nearly 7 months and I know my non existent readers have contracted the deadly-we-always-wait-for-her-and-she-is-always-late-so-lets-ignore-her virus. Well, to that I will like to apologize AGAIN and ask you to read my description in my profile. I have mentioned there that I am always late. I really don't know how. I mean I get ready real fast but its as if time suddenly turns into speed of light whenever I need to be somewhere at a given time and the entire world just decides to travel to MY location, WITH ME, at MY time. Weird.

Anywho, 7 months back I promised that I will come out with various posts to keep you guys updated and with the goings-on of my awesome life. Yeah! you heard me. I am being positive. Yeah, its a new for me too. Still reeling from the shock. Hey, that can be a plausible excuse. That I cant get over how awesome 2012 has been (touchwood) and that's why I didnt blog 'cuz, you know, I was like in a whirlwind or somethin'.

So this is the 1st post of my life mini series. I am so lost where I ended so I will start with the 1st thing that happened. Sis got married! Yeah. Ain't that great? Obviously had to be at the hotel I used to work in. So she got married in November (surprise surprise). Weather was brilliant and I obviously could not lose weight. Has that ever happened? But being the sister of the bride its not all parties and squealing but a butt load of work. Like running around, listening to people complain, running around, listening to family gossip, running around, listening to people being judgemental, running around, listening to people being judgemental about people being judgemental, running around, listening to parents panic, running around, listening to the sister how she wants HER lil sister to get tequila on stage so she doesnt panic and run away. You get the drift, right?

But by the end of it, sis was happily married. The cocktail night was brilliant. (AS came and left in like 5 mins. I was sooper pissed with him but at least he came for the main day. Forgiven.) So cocktail night was the night when ALL of us were drunk (parents are teetotalers) including the bride and the groom. My cousin bro was so awe-struck by the groom's voice that he just couldn't understand WHY isn't he in the voice-over business. He did make it a point to try and drive his point home like when the bride and groom were sooper drunk and were getting all mushy and close on the dance floor. Ceremonies went on till like 4 in the morning like any good Punju wedding. I swear I could here people waking up and stretching and starting their morning Yoga. When the bride was leaving, I was expecting a lot of waterworks from all the females in the family and I wasn't disappointed peoples. No I didn't cry. Not much of a crier. Though I did ask mom is she was crying 'cuz sis was gonna come back home after her honeymoon and that is understandable. Yeah she didn't pay attention to that. Sis HAD to come back 'cuz her hubby was working in a different city. That's totally messed up. But, he took a transfer to Bombay and they are leading a happy married life. Well, Good Luck to them and all the best and may they be blessed with a gazillion babies. Sis should definitely NOT read this.

Ok, this is the beginning of a new week and tomorrow is yet another useless Monday, you will have a part 2 soon! Gnight for now. (please dont expect xoxo here. I don't like it and I don't know what it means. If its an invite to the 'x' and '0' game then I am all for it.)

PS- Did I tell you that the wedding photographer was really cute and all of us (including the bride) had the vacation crushes on him? (Vacation crush - vay-kay-shun kr-sh - Someone you have a crush on when you are on vacation or on leave).
