ReplyDelete@ Rachana,
ReplyDeletenow I certainly know with which question I should be greeting you! :) arre aise mat kar yaar, free khaana jara jaldi de naa..aise kya!
@ Dewdrop,
if I knew that I wouldn't be blogging, innit? but yes like all others I'll make it KNOWN... ;) whenever that happens...Ahem! ahem!
@ Jinu,
yep and the fact that me at Sg with my bro n SIL and they still keep arguing about what I should/ not wear, eat, sleep...etc etc.
@ Shaili,
hehehee... you are not alone and so isn't me and so aren't most 20 somethings. :O
So did the waiter finally turn up??? Eagerly waiting for the epilogue!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! And I thought parents and grandparents were the only ones who did this :D
ReplyDeleteHmm.. normal conv. among gals :p no..hold it!! hang on!! Aren't you married? I mean, kinda engaged or somethin like that?
ReplyDelete@ Nitin,
ReplyDeletewaiter did appear dutifully and did me a huge favor for that moment. :) so thats abt the whole episode.
@ DDD,
:) yes, you are riiiight. But even brothers and sisters-in-law do it when they have nothing else to do.
@ Ajan,
log in to orkut and search for the answer to your question. :P
i totally agree with V. there is no need to get married before 27 (and that's the SOONEST!)...
ReplyDeleteand yeah.. finding a groom near Vs place is also a good idea!
:D :D :D
so, have you decided yet? :D
@ Rayshma,
ReplyDeleteI dunno abt 27 or 28 or 25 or anything... but def me not getting married near V's place. Sg is so hot, humid and unpredictably rainy, man! I can hardly stand the heat. :P :D
