- i am a master chef....and that when necessity arises i can cook as tasty food as my mom cooks...."as tasty" not as "mom ka banaa khana"....
- i can live without eating for nearly 24 hours...huh!!bchari meeeeee:(

Anujii..
At the end of the day, you will be surely satisfied and happy that you went thru all these and everything you are doing is a kind of new learning..
So keep enjoying whatever you do! :)
Keep rocking girl!!
it'll become a way of life.. one day.. when u have nothin to do, u're gonna miss the busy life.. but yea ghaas is always greener on the other side. so we have the complete license to crib.. btw.. CALL ME!!!!!!!
moti... it happens re...watever u told makes a lot of sense!!! dont worry coz at the end of day it will give u lot of satisfaction and will feel proud for urself :)
good luck dear
though you have ended the post saying that it doesn't make any sense, it really makes some sense... after all, being in a foreign land, and doing everything by self, and sharing the living place with somebody different from us... all these are not so easy...
keep up the spirit... and do well at your studies... sure these out-of-classroom lessons wont go wasted!!! good luck
Annu, hard'ly' working... kyaa hain maa itti badi story likha hain tum ne, ek baat ee socho ki woh job tumhe jindagi dilari hain... to vo job karne main thori to muskil hogi... so keep up the spirit and rock baby... dont worry u'll get used to it after some time...
hloo anujee..
a nice blog ... i think i am late in finding this ...magar ek din me sub kuch pad liya :p..... i think its quite a longtime u posted sth ...
hope i can expect another post very soon..
you know one thing, how much ever we despise something but after a while when you really look back, we laugh at our self for what we did and how we fought thru. I am sure you wld never forget that short "ghostly" figure at your work!! :)
But I am sure u had achieved a lot thru that one tiring job. Thats part of life! :)
