Its been a rough week. Very rough. 
The office has been awful – literally, awful. Then Neeraj and I come home, and either I have had to go somewhere or we get home late, that we get nothing done that we have planned.
Then on Wednesday we had this horrible thunderstorm/lightning, and it seemed to have bursted my office laptop. 
Freak. Now I have to take the time out next week and go up to Chicago to get the stupid thing fixed. You turn it on and it will automatically restart itself without booting up XP. 
I keep no telling myself that I need to post, and thanks to everyone who has had interest in my writing. 
That is a real day brightener, but I just haven’t had the time or in the mood to write. There is still much more I have to talk about — and you might get lucky and get two posts from me in the same day. We will see how the day goes. 
The weather this week has been horrible as well, and hopefully it will be better tonight because Neeraj and I have planned to play tennis. I am looking forward to that:!:
The weekend is totally shot as the family is going up to Chicago to go to an amusement park/water park with my chacha’s family at Six Flags. Its going to be tiring, but it will be fun. At the same time, Neeraj and I need to go shopping today because we need swim suits. 
Time is flying faster since we have been married it seems than before, and I don’t know why. I guess life has changed a bit more drastically than I must have thought. There are still many more decisions that Neeraj and I need to make in the near future that will affect the rest of our future. Did that make any sense?
Its time for a vacation. 
Neeraj, can we go back to India again?
Alvida. Jai Mata Di.
Awwwww….one of those weeks haan? Haha I guess thats life! and did you see the “blue screen of death” on your laptop?? But have fun at Six Flags and I dont show up here as much as before but at the same time I still eagerly await your posts..so do keep writing!

Have Fun Guys !!!
Hmmm seems that you have been so busy …yeah u are right everyone says that life changes after marriage and some say for the better some say for the worst …. I let u decide abt mine:mrgreen:
Nov 2001 – I met my husband (Sagar) by chance on yahoo messenger. He was in Pune and at that time was testing some wireless program. We met by chance I was/am in Singapore. We started spending loads of time talking on msn/yahoo telephone. March 2002 I decided to go to Pune and meet him. I did and we had a wonderful week there and he proposed one day before I was scheduled to fly back to Singapore.:blush:
April 2002 told my parents abt it and they had a FIT.
Me – Punjabi He – Brahmin hahahah. I am from a typical Punjabi family. But we were determined to get married with blessings. I was shunned away by my dad and he never spoke to me for a year! My mum never missed a single opportunity of TANA giving.:banghead: But my sisters supported me. 
Jan 2003 – my mum fell really ill was in come suffered heart attack.:sad: She was in come for 7 days with doc saying don’t think she will survive. But she did and immediately told me that she will see Sagar and get us married. But conditions were there. 1. The wedding has to be Punjabi style and 2. He should stay in Malaysia. I stay in Malaysia in a state called Johor Bahru which is abt 30 mins ride into Singapore. So I am staying in Malaysia but I commute everyday to Singapore for my job.
May 2003 – My husband resigns from his really good paying job as MD and he is a software developer and came down to Malaysia. That was the beginning of his nightmare.
July 2003 – We got married and Sagar started looking for a job he didn’t get it till Oct 2003. Interview was in Singapore after signing all papers he was told operations in Kuala Lumpur !!!!!!!!!!!!:sad::banghead::( its about 5-6 hours from where we were staying. But after going for so many interviews and not getting any but this we decided not to be picky and ended up doing the job so he was in Kuala Lumpur and I in Singapore (TILL TODAY). He lost his job in Feb 2004 and could not get a job in Malaysia as well as Singapore till Jan 2006. Now he is working still in Kuala Lumpur and I am in Singapore.
So basically we have been married for 3 years but we have not had the opportunity to stay as a married couple.
My mum passed away in Nov 2003. With that came a lot of responsibilities on me as I was the oldest and dad not at the best of health. And I look after my 2 younger sisters.
But life could be worst …..We are very positive in thinking at least we get to see each other on sat and sun. We have a roof over our head. We have cars to drive and we have a family that is very close. Sagar, me, my 2 sisters, my dad and rocky (my cute puppy).
Life is short do what u want to today because tomorrow no one has seen. I had in 2002 made plans and dreamt of a live which is not what it is today. So live life like there is no next week. Sorry for taking up too much of ur space just wanted to share my experience.
Poonam at least u get to see Neeraj everyday I have to wait till weekends hahahaha.
Hi Poonam,
Life sure gets change after marriage. Mine was typically arrange marriage. Both of us are Kashmiris but still I can see lot many change in myself. I always used to think, I will remain the same but it is not true. Sometimes we have to compromise and sometimes we feel lucky to have partner who will stand next to you through out your life.
Hi Riya,
It was so nice to read your comment. You are a strong girl and your husband is also very loving who has quit his job only to marry you. My best wishes to both of you.
Love
Nidhi
It was a bad week Kaush, real bad week. Its tough when you don’t want to go into the office.
Anyway, I am praying that it will get better soon. 
Actually I saw the black screen of death, which I think is 10x worse than the blue screen. 
Six Flags was an adventure that I will document once i get all the marriage stuff done. 
Are you closing shop on your blog btw? 
Nice to see you after a long time Rash.
Ping me on Yahoo or MSN and I will give you the info.
Yup Joy I was glad to see the week to be over.
Six Flags was good, but we didn’t get to play tennis. 
It rained all Friday. 
We are going to try again this week. 
We both were pretty disappointed about it. 
Without my laptop, its been tough trying to post, but hope to have one up tomorrow. 
Thanks Mehak.
We had a blast!!
Thanks for sharing your story Riya.
I know how it feel to be far away from your loved one. Neeraj and I were apart for five years — in two different countries, USA and India. I can understand the internet chatting, the phone calls, etc… We would meet only once in a year. The tough part is the family not agreeing with the marriage, but I am glad that you did have a happy ending that they did agree and the support of your sisters is great. I hope that your jobs are worked out so that you are able to be closer to each other — other than seeing each other on the weekends. 
I can imagine how tough that is. After being apart from Neeraj for so long, I can’t even think about doing that all over again. 
Anyway, thanks alot for sharing your story! 
You are Kashmiri Nidhi?
That’s great! I didn’t know that about you. This is great, I got to learn something new about you and Riya. 
Life after marriage is different, and it definitely has changed a perspective for me. I have to think about many more things then I ever had to before. 
Hope all is well with you.
Hi…thanks Nidhi.Yeah sagar did sacrifice a lot but i also have my in laws to thank and who understood that i HAD to stay put in Malaysia and its with their support that sagar cld decide to come here Malaysia. Our initial plan was to marry and stay in Pune. Ah well it will come.:smile:
Poonam, all my good wishes to you on your start of a wonderful journey.
Hota hai puttar hota hai… aisi choti choti batein hoti rehti hain!! :)
Best wishes from my side too!
Thanks Riya.
Same to you:!:
Thanks Manpreet.
