the power of jeans with good fit

i feel like such an NRI right now. this weekend i did a lot of shopping, was very bitter (the phrase, "Santosh-- THIS is why your people are in their present situation!" i'm sorry and i take it all back for whomever may have heard), and am now trying to make online reservations for a pilgrimage cum vacation tour. yeah, i liked it how immediately after i book my ticket to Jammu, there is a 24-hour shootout in Srinagar...

i bought the best pair of jeans ever this weekend. they are kind of stretchy and the alteration of the length was free! and they were practically free due to a scheme at Globus. i also got some new office wear and am trying to get one of my western suits copied (i'm keeping expectations low).

luckily, the jeans are so good they got me out of my bad mood.

friday night was my anniversary. it was really good, EXCEPT I WAS NOT WITH GUDDU! so the deputy filled in, and we went first to the Hanuman mandir (prasad=laddu) in Connaught Place, and then to the Catholc Church (prasaad=eucharist... no, santosh, you can NOT take the prasaad) and got to sit in on mass, and then to Bangla Sahib Gurudwara (prasad=gooey ghee-filled sweetness) where they were about to put the book to bed... it was a very produtcive evening bc i've been with guddu to each place and i got to think and reflect a bit (aka "pray"). when pappu got home that evening, in addition to the now-routine Vadilal chocolate cone, he brought gulab jamun AND a khadi-looking kurti. when i wear this with my new jeans, santosh says i look like a student politician. go CPI! not.

we also did a lot of shopping for items to bring back to india. i will post a counter part to the ever-popular "contents of my suitcase" post from back in may once the time comes. i know you can't wait!

kelley left last night and i wish i was on that plane, too. i am really looking forward to coming home! and finding a job! and finishing school!
