Reason to celebrate no. 1: House warming
I found myself a chic pseudo- 2BHK flat (coz 1 room is locked by the owner) on the
Reason to celebrate no. 2: Launch of the hotel ‘
Being a journalist, sometimes these perks help brightening your spirits. Me and my friend-cum-colleague had gone to this hotel launch in Goregaon (we had to pay toll to enter this particular area). The hotel is located in the outskirts of the Goregaon suburb and I could never imagine that there could be so much greenery in this city until I saw the view from this hotel’s 9th floor. The
The place was slightly overdone with lot of gold and chandeliers. Getting through the food was a problem as there was a 100-yard long line for it! The best part was the celebs. We spotted Minissha Lamba when we were touring the place and immediately went to her and clicked a pic with her saying, “One photo pls ma’am. We’re your fans!” That was our ‘wannabe moment’. After that we spotted other tinny weeny stars from the silver as well as TV screens. All in all, it was a fun day.
Reason to celebrate no. 3: My birthday!
Its been a week since my birthday now, but I cant just get over it. Thanks to my boss, I got a chance to go home and celebrate my buddey.
Thanks all for making my birthday, a day to remember.
Reason to celebrate no. 4: Durg-Nagpur trip
My roommate, Samali got married in Kolkata and we had originally planned to attend the wedding and explore the city where my darling Sourav Ganguly stays. But unfortunately, due to lack of holidays we had to settle for the reception in
The train journey was very disappointing and as I am not used to travelling far distances by train, it was a little hectic for me. We boarded the Jnaneshwari Express on 26th night and had a seat fiasco. Three people claimed our seat and then the TC came and solved all the problems, finally! We reached Durg the next day at
From the steel city we reached the orange city in 4 hours flat. We were welcomed by the rains in
In sometime, Samali’s make up artist arrived and started applying layers of make up on her flawless face. Then she got dressed up in a maroon sari with lot of gold jewellery to accompany the embellishments on the sari. She looked good but her husband, Biswajyoty, whom we fondly call Basu couldn’t help laughing. We went to the 3-star Tuli Hotel with the bride and groom. As the guests hadn’t arrived yet, we took some photographs in funny poses all over the hotel (this proves that we are born crazy!). The reception was well attended and we couldn’t help smiling when Samali and Basu had to force a smile when unknown uncles and aunties came to congratulate them. One of the unknown aunty actually kissed Sam on her forehead- funny! We were given the job of ‘gift girls’- to collect gifts which the couple received.
The returning journey was rather hectic. People kept on blabbering and switching the lights on and off.
But all in all, it was a fun trip. The three days just flew away giving me fond memories for life.

Wow! Quite an eventful month, I must say. All this in a matter of 30 days. But let me tell you that no house-warming is complete without an invitation to me. So, you know what I mean. Secondly, I am sorry for having forgotten to write on the Shin Chan diary. Joanna did tell me to write, but I forgot. And third, post blogs more often. I have discovered that I get to "know" people better by reading their blogs rather than talking to them.
