Our To-Do List

Posted on April 20th, 2006 by Poonam

We are down to one week :!: Neeraj and I will be traveling together back to India. :smile: This is the first time that we will be traveling together via airplane, so we are excited. :hyper:

WE I still got lots to do, so I have decided that I am going to start a list because otherwise it won’t get done. :smile:

  • Neeraj’s apartment — cleaned out and empty
  • Finish packing (Neeraj, Bhaiya, Papa, and myself)
  • Toys for Neeraj’s nephews/nieces
  • Call Cilco & Morton Utilities
  • Find Mumma’s keys
  • Take photos of Mumma’s flowers
  • Shopping for myself/Neeraj
  • Transfer money into Citibank account (Thanks Prasad :grin: )
  • Travel Adapter for mobile & camcorder
  • Withdraw $$ from bank
  • Take video of my house and Neeraj’s apartment for Lakshmi
  • Print all E-tickets (i.e. Del-Mumbai/friends, etc..)
  • Make CDs of new songs (Fanaa, 36 China Town, Gangster, etc..)

    • The list will grow as I think of other things. :smile: Neeraj’s sister’s marriage is on 30th April, so he will leave, if not immediately reaching Delhi, the next morning for the marriage in Rajasthan. My parents are also going to the marriage, but unfortunately I am not going. :sad: I would love to go but my family has said that its better that I don’t go; the glow of being a bride will be lost as all of his extended family will see me prior to our marriage is their reasoning.

    So I will be in the scary city of Delhi. :cold: I will have about three days (one day is a Sunday) to complete my shopping — which I think is very much do-able. :smile: I will also get to spend some time with my masi/jijaji and cousins — which I am looking forward to doing. :smile:

    Then I will be off to Aamchi Mumbai with my parents once they return from the marriage. :smile: Then I will have about 10 days to enjoy with my cousins there and live the life in the greatest city of the world. :mrgreen:

    Ohhh I am getting sooo excited. :hyper: I wish I could leave right this minute. :smile: There is really no desh like ours — Mera Bharat Mahaan. :smile:

    Alvida. Jai Mata Di.

      Yup Kunal — if you have time to see me. :grin:

      NO sunscreen — I don’t use it. :no: This isn’t my first trip to Delhi, I have been there many times — I have two masis’ that live there. :smile:

      Luggage scene is fine — everything will be ready on time. :smile: I have major shopping that I need to finish TODAY and tomorrow to get everything done. Neeraj is going to wear Sherwani for the marriage.

      Yup I can’t wait till get into the marriage groove — I am already in it but still it will be more fun in India. :hyper:

      Yup, I gotta get some more batteries and memory stick. I am not going to get ALOT of memory because who knows who will take any pics from my camera.

      Very funny Ankur. :no: :smile:

      Good reminder Prasad — I added it to the list. :smile: Neeraj got an account number, but now has to wait 7-10 business days to get the Welcome packet from Citibank — which contains his ATM card, IPIN (to use internet facility), checkbook, etc… So we are going to try to transfer money another way. :smile: Yup excitement is very high. :hyper:

      Wow am excited :D you had better contact me when in Delhi…n yea agree with Kunal get Sunscreen its boiling here….will mail you my number. Hoping to meet u where will u be staying once u r here?

    12. Poonam Says:
      April 22nd, 2006 at 10:58 am
      Thanks Ashwin. :smile: We called the USCIS to see if what the status of Neeraj’s green card interview was — they said that you won’t hear back on a status for atleast 60 days. Neeraj then asked if there was going to be any problem on his re-entry into the US and she said that if you have the proper travel docs you won’t have any problems. So we are tension free at this time — we have turned in the proper documentation and providing our case to why we want it rescheduled — aur sab ab oopar wale ke haath main hai. :smile:

      Thanks Harry. :smile:

      I hope to see you too Anubha in Delhi. I am not bringing any sunscreen yaar — I don’t use it here, and I am not going to use it there either. :smile: Anyway, I am going to be near Anand Vihar in Delhi. Do mail me your number, I will do the same for you — already have a mobile phone ready for me in India. :grin:
