Update

Yep, its been a while and here I am. Stuff's been happening that kept me away from blogging.

First thing first, V is on a three week trip to India to meet his family. Our parents have talked to each other. It went pretty well so we are glad that atleast things are moving.

V's last day here was a complete chaos. His flight was on 21st from Philly at 7 in the morning. The day before was his last day at his job, last day at his apartment and last day in Stamford. Though we had moved most of the stuff already, he still had to lot of packing and cleaning up to do in his apartment. He finally left Stamford at around 11.30 in the night with my Murano filled to the last niche. As luck would have it, he was stuck in the New York traffic for a good 2 hours. He finally reached at around 3am. After a hurried dinner, we packed his suitcases for his trip. It was soon time to drop him at the airport. My poor V didnt sleep a wink nor did he have even a minute of rest.

After his departure it was time for me and my friend SR to start packing since we were moving to a new apartment, a town house the next weekend. We had been packing most of the week that followed and we moved all our stuff last weekend. We started on Friday eve and finished moving everything late Sunday night. I can't believe we had so much of stuff collected. We did numerous trips on our SUVs fully loaded. On top of that we even had to hire a truck and moving help to move our big stuff. By Sunday night each and every muscle in my body was crying murder. I was just glad to lie down on my bed when the alarm rang and it was time to get ready for work.

Since Monday we've been arranging our new home. Kitchen is done - I've never seen so much of masala in one house. I am sure, if you name any dish, we'll have the masalas to make that dish, from Indian to Chinese to American to Mexican. Now the living room and the bedrooms are left. Boxes are strewn all around...every thing is a big mess. Hopefully we should get done by the end of this week.

Now that the initial excitement of moving to a new place is over, I am just waiting for V's return. 13 more days to go.

I am happy for U 'n' V :-)

Don't even talk about packing and moving and setting up. We both are in same boat, we set up the bedroom and today will set most of kitchen. Also, I have to go do some shopping for kitchen as we have been living on take-away and resturants for last 2 days.

It's a coincidence that we both are moving at the same time but on second thoughts you are always on the move...he he.

Enjoy!!

Good to know that it's something happening in India. :)

You are moving there and your parents are planing you to move you from here (just kidding) :P

Moving and settling is very tedious job in reality. I did twice long back.
