When the going gets good ........

The past year was a blurr and so was my vacation that ended last week. It was good to back home after more than three years, It was good not to have to do my own cooking, laundry or pay rent.

The journey back and forth went without a hitch, got to travel business class a small portion of the journey (5 hrs) thanks to my dad being friends with the Air Traffic Controller. Other than that the journey was pretty uneventful.

Trip to Chennai and the whole VISA stamping process also went so smooth. All my research preparation, anxiety and planning seem so unnecessary in retrospect. Oh well all is well that ends well.

The surgery also went well. I have always believed and now have proof that I am a picture of good health. Perfect lab results, perfect healing and perfect recovery. I was out of bed and walking the very next day after surgery.

As far as family is concerned I realise I am gradually growing closer to my mom though I have always been daddy's girl and never gotten along with my mother. Still loggerheads with my brother. We seems to be good for each other only from a distance, I don't know why is it that we can never get along.

But thanks to my brother I saw many movies (Tare Zameen Par, OSO, Saawariya and many more) and read Angels and Demons(Dan Brown), The Client(John Grisham), Vector(Robin Cook) and loads of Amar Chitra Katha comics, my all time favourites.

Its my parents resolution and mission this year to find me a husband. And I am not make it any easy for them. Why am I so particular about somethings I don't know but I just cant seem to compromise. Case in point, I want to marry someone who earns more than me. Before you jump to conclusions no I am not a gold digger. I earn a very comfortable living, but somehow I don't want a husband lesser than me in terms of piety, education, career or money. I maybe be wrong but it doesn't feel wrong. And to make matters worse my salary is going up about 15% every six months. Now that's no problem is it ...
