Kanu ki shaadi (a.k.a Kanu's Wedding) Part 1

I started this blog a year ago in the hope that I might be able to regain my former flair at writing. I have long since given up the hope for that ever happening in the near future. However, a few hours ago I realized this is the best way for me to update all my friends on what is happening and is about to happen in the next few days.

Well for starters I am about to get married. Now for those of you who know my aversion for the institution, this might come as a shock to say the very least. Sorry for disappointing you all. For those of you who were waiting with abated breath for me to take the plunge someday, with someone - anybody - your days or waiting are over! Yes, I am doing it!

So here is the plan: from tonight till the end of our trip to India (my fiance and I), I am going to make it a point to get online and write on my blog about everything that happened in the day (with pictures whenever possible). I will however request you to have patience with my periodical inability to stay coherent during a narration :)

Day 1 and counting down...It is 11pm on a cold Saturday night in Atlanta. I am sitting here in Greg's mac (do not ask me how I am managing to work on one of 'these' machine!), and instead of checking my work mailbox, much to my chagrin I am busy filling the reams of paper (alright virtual space) about the countdown to the D-day. The dooms day for both of us! Our flight to India is in a few hours and in a bid to keep jetlag at a minimum I proposed we go to bed early and get through the 12 hour layover, Greg on the other hand is proposing to stay up all night and all day and then crash like a log on the plane. He even has some Tylenol PM in his overnight bag I think. Of course we are both arguing over which is the best method and thus no one is sleeping, so I guess we all know who is eventually winning! Urghhh!!!

I walked for my graduating last evening and my cheeks are truly hurting from all the smiling that my face seemed to be unable to control. I can only wonder what I am going to be doing on the day of the wedding.
