I wanted height and am didnt get that.
Sense of humour.. yes thank god
Sense of adventure..somewhat

Knowing that the journey is as important as the destination..very important and we both believe in it now.

Sands: Win some, lose some, isn’t that the rule of the game?

~~I aimed for nothing and I got nothing.. Ok don’t publish that. )~~
i think i should be named Panchali. I asked for 5 things and got all 5 in different men but all so much a part of my life.

1. tall–I got 6.4 n am happy with Mu man
2. romantic–I got it with Mu man but I dont want it anymore. i only want to flirt now…so i found RR- first name rhymes with raddish!
3. rich–pah! I got the dr. couple!! though they dont spend anything on me.. maybe its time to move on.
4. passion for food-I don’t think Mu man is passionate about it, so i found OH to cook and Aashe to eat with.
5. humor–will have to teach mu man how to spell the word. but I found Vik and Submarine-man
See, I have back up of one of them divorces me.

Sands: Yay for you You have it all worked out.

@ TPL: Am not sure about the self inflicted. Don’t know which part of India you grew up in but where I grew up, your life depended on the scores coming out of that 12th grade. That was just a horrible feeling!
@ Yo: Knowing you am not one bit surprised You are such a trooper with totally different priorities!
@ AJ: I know. That was a given when we took our boards. My BIL would joke that he would bribe God with a dime to make sure he scored high on all exams but the bribe was doubled just for his math exam

Ridiculous. I have seen some poojas requested in temples in Bangalore too before board exams.

Megs lovely personality is her thanks only to her Appa, re. Her more interesting one when the lil horns on her head peak is me (and you have to agree you love that as much as I do).
Yes on definition of Raul= Wit, charm, laziness, that smile all rolled into one.. o and when he says “dude” at the beginning of every sentence!! cracks me up everytime.

Sands: Yes I love all of that but am also recently seeing a few that are distinctly mine As for Raul, what can I say, am one who is a sucker for his charm

I still dont like to think about my 12th std days. What pressure, most of it self-inflicted.

damn. what a messed up system we’ve created.
just 50 yrs ago, school / college weren’t all that popular. i wish we could reverse this ‘development’.

Sands: A mid point would be ideal, don’t you think? This kind of pressure is just pure insanity!
