Hellus,

As you all know how I'm kinda hardworking n sincere with everything I do (pun intended) :)

1. No Tea or Coffee (Do-able)
2. No bread biscuits cakes (hummm tough one)
3. No French fries (nahinnnn)
4. Drink 3+ liters of water . (Easy)
5. No gossip at-all. (shouldn't be tough)
6. Gym 5 days a week (:P)
7. Pranayama everyday (Jai Gurudev)
8. Dinner before 8pm (really?)
9. Study for 2 hours daily (IMS + GMAT)

Wish me luck people!!

Happy 2011 to all!

My 2010!!

January
Was full of snow and more snow! I was in the US n was very busy with work. Plus I was not well at all..The year started in very non-happening way. I was thousands of miles away from Mr.Boyfriend (Who is Mr.Husband now ). The only good thing about 2010 then was that I had declared in front of my parents that I want to get Married to Boyfriend. My dad took it pretty well, while mom was worried about matching our Janma-Patrikas.
February and March
I would say, more snow, more work, more tension, more health problems and of course as it was not enough more drama at home about my wedding. Our Janma-Patrikas.were not matching. So everyone was trying to come up with best possible solutions to make us apart. Three people stood strong as rocks. My dad - who always believed in me n my love, who knew that Boyfriend is the best guy for me, My darling Sister - who controlled my panicky mom all this while and kept me informed about every tiniest discussions my folks had about my marriage and last but not least Mr.Boyfriend - who was calm and quite n supportive as always, who handled parents from both sides, who understood me when i was the crankiest, n yes..who made me believe that i've chosen the best guy!!
April
I was back to India. No more snow (Finally..) but too much heat..n pollution..n crowd..n mess..(Give me the snow back plz..) At home, the-clash-of-the-titans was terminated.Everyone was in very happy mood. Wedding bells had started ringing. I was very happy to be back to my love. Days were not enough for us to plan our wedding and the honeymoon and the new place we were planning to call Home!
May
In-laws visited my folks. Did formal discussing about the wedding. We (I n him) couldn't be happier than that. We were planning the wedding somewhere in end of 2010. However our parents were more excited that us. Fixed the date of Engagement ceremony : 6th July 2010. My happy times had started.
June
Actually June 6th. We got engaged (yeyy). Couldn't stop smiling the whole day. People said both of us were looking very beautiful, n we looked made-for-each-other, n we were the happiest-would-be-bride'n'groom they've ever seen..but nobody knew what we were feeling..we were feeling relieved..yess u read it right..we were relieved that what we started has finally got a name now..that our relationship was now respected by everyone. Love marriage in India is still not that easy..though we show us forward n global in our movies. That night I slept like a baby.. after very long.
July
July started just like we spent entire June after our Engagement. Shopping, planning, saving, house-hunting and again, shopping! :) We tried very hard to search a decent place for us somewhere near work. We wanted our new-home to be ready before our wedding. But house-hunting in Mumbai is a serious business. Plus we had this huge best-place-for-honeymoon searching on going. Finally the big day came. 9th July. We got married. Now when I look at the pictures, I don't believe that it was me who looked so pretty :) All that decoration, the arrangements, the jewellery's, the fireworks ..they all seem so unreal...the time was so magical..the functions and the rituals, the teasing cousins and emotional relatives..I can give anything for that all to happen again..trust me..Mr.Boyfriend was finally Mr.Husband!!
Then one more awesome thing happened in July and that was our honeymoon to Maldives. This was my "the best" overseas trip so far. Mr.Husband is excellent travel companion. Everyone is very sweet n romantic during their honeymoon days. But I was especially happy coz I knew, that with him, its gonna last forever. We were two friends together on a break, we were two kids out on a field trip, two grown-ups relaxing themselves and of course two people ..madly in love..celebrating their love together... :)
August and September
Ahh..God..what a time..two 2 in our cozy house, hot coffee n lots of love! this was pretty much everyday scene..Mr.Husband celebrated my b'day in a fancy 5 star hotel..gifted me most beautiful ring ever. I'm jealous of myself..Then came Ganpati festival n Diwali. I never knew that festivals with him will be so much fun..Why didn't you meet me like 20 years ago?
November
God knows why, but November was not so sweet for us. We fought over stupid reasons, had sleepless nights n finally he had to go to US for work. Did God punish us for not being good to each other? If thats true, then I promise dear Lord, I'm gonna love him more than I can. But please please never ever make us apart...never..never ever..
December
Missed MR.Husband like anything. Thanks to my sisters who visited me for 10-12 days to cheer me up. Holydays are very hard without him around. Christmas was not merry n New Year was not happy..Thank God for letting us know at such early stage of our marriage that we can not live without each other. I miss you honeykins!
