My Roomies

It's been eight months since I've been living with Mandie, Rachel and Channah(names changed, but quite obvious if people know who I stay with). Anyway, the point is I don't like staying with two of them already. Initially, when I was looking for roomies to stay with, the first one I decided was Channah. We just chatted a couple of times online and we thought we could stay together. The other two were from the same place and hence we were two-two and decided we stay together. My first thought went wrong. I thought I will get along well with Mandie and very badly with Channah. It ended the other way around. Channah is the least at home because she spends a lot of time and literally stays at her boyfriend's place. Mandie and Rachel get along well because of their common friends. They are into so much gossip especially Rachel. But, Rachel is so much better than Mandie, at least she is not lazy. Mandie is such a couch potato, doesn't do a work extra. Channah is older to me by 3 years, acts kiddish sometimes but sometimes she makes so much sense and shows maturity in her talk. We get along well. She listens to me and takes interest in what I say to her.

Rachel is such a hypocrite. She bitches about how loud Channah is when her boyfriend comes home, but bloody hell, how loud her friends are and that too screaming in the middle of the night and laughing like hyenas. Grrr. Sometimes, I wake up because of their noise. And don't ever get me started on their new friend, Chevonne. Man, that female is so dumb. She has nothing to talk about than other females in college, comment on FB pics and talk about clothes and how sexy everything is. A typical dumb-blondie !!! Somehow, I just can't stand stupid girls. I think they should just shut up if they don't want people to lose opinion on them.

Mandie is way too rude sometimes and sooo lazy. Her clothes lie all over the place. Her socks are found even in the dining room. She doesn't clean anything except for one day when she'll get an enlightenment and clean her wardrobe and everything. I'm surprised how Rachel and Mandie get along with Chevonne.

I really wish I don't have to stay with these people anymore. I don't mind staying with Channah though. I'm honestly happy that Rachel will be leaving to India after this summer. In that case, I think Mandie will be much better.

From cooking for everybody else, we've gone to cooking for ourselves. Initially, I hated the idea but now,much satisfied. I get to eat what I like and much better food.

For all I wish it goes along well without any problems big time. Writing this post just made me vent my anger. Positive !

For now ..... Shanthi !

A Record

It has been quite sometime since my last post. This post is for myself to remember certain things. Recently, I've been hearing a lot of things, especially with the number of weddings that is happening this year and also the number of nieces and nephews expected this year. OMG !!!

The first expected was Manasa's baby. As I had predicted, it was a girl and they have named her Zara. Cutie pie. Next, within a week I hear that one of my sister-in-laws(Yamini'ka) is delivering a baby in weeks and another sister(Vinitha) who is pregnant. Another sister from Long Island(Sujini'ka) is pregnant with her second son. That makes 3 babies just for the first half of the year. :O

Then, one of my favorite cousins, Saranya'ka is getting married. I would be missing the wedding so much though. :( I love going to wedding so much. Getting all dressed up(initially hating it), meeting hundreds of people, pictures, FOOD,etc. I miss all those things so much. This has been a 'so much' paragraph ! LoL :D

Talking about weddings, my brother(sibling Shriram) is himself in the process of getting an arranged marriage done. Parents are frantically looking out for a bride for him. There is a proposal that is on a good track, hope it works out. Everybody wants it to work out.For my record, her name encoded:BOVTIB (Clue:ACP) :P

The online chat with Divakar Chithappa on this was hilarious. He is so funny! :P I still remember him telling about Priya'ka standing for the Velacheri ward councillor and her being named 'Pallikaranai Padma' and Chithappa going around Velacheri in white Scorpio, white veshti, white chappals, gold watch and a mini troop of his own side kicks. Can only imagine the scene. LoL. He says "We should be in politics. Education spoils us". LoL. Priya'ka and Chithappa are made for each other with a perfect daughter. A happy go lucky family, very straight forward unlike the other families in the circle. This generation aunt and uncle are they. He is all excited about BOVTIB's profile and wants it to work out as much as others want it to happen.

Meanwhile, before I forget, there is another wedding in the family. Vig'na's. Sometime in Jan 2011. My vadina's name is Ramya and she's from Australia. Love marriage. So happy for him. :) It is best for people like him, Pranesh and Anitha to get their own life partners. They are the worst candidates for an arranged marriage. :P

I'm myself looking forward for an arranged marriage very much. There are a lot of pros and cons involved but somehow prefer it. It would make my parents so happy and that is what I want. That's the least I can do for them. This sounds a bit old fashioned but I know they are going to look for a perfect guy for me.

A number of weddings from my college too. First is Cynthia's and Swathikha's, unexpected events. Story behind both of them drove me crazy. Next is the rapidly developing story of Shwetha's. Don't know what is going to happen.

ATB for all the expecting mothers,newly weds and engaged ones and for the one struggling hard to get her love worked out !

Peace!
