India Time!

It's almost a trend in India - girls get married and then go to the US or in some rare cases UK. It was a trend I didn't like, until I got married and it happened to me! After which I hated the trend!! I wanted to run back home, hug my parents and never come back here. Paul’s afraid I’ll refuse to get back on the plane, so he’s packed a few chains as well. :) But with time I have come to terms with it. I think....

Tomorrow I fly to India, for a 2 week vacation! This is the first time I’ll be going home after my marriage, so it’s a big deal!! When I say ‘Big Deal’, I don’t mean lotsa parties and hoopla. I mean I’m ‘Big’, gained weight you see!! Everybody has some annoying relatives, who take it as their personal business to dwell on your shortcomings, and so do I. But once you get married, the number usually triples (No, not doubles, but triples). I have decided to count the number of people who point out to me that I have gained weight. And I have also decided to keep a few smart retorts handy:

• You really think I have gained weight? I never noticed! I just bought a whole bunch of clothes in a larger size, because it’s in fashion!!
• Yes, I have gained weight. And your point is?
• For those who are obviously fat themselves: So what did you have for breakfast, a whole cow?
  

Phew.... That was therapeutic!!! Anyway, just wanted to let you know I’ll be gone for 2 weeks and most probably won’t be blogging while I’m in India. (I know you don’t care!!)

BBye!
