Sleepless

It was one of those nights when I couldn't fall asleep.  From the frozen leg to the terrible head aches, reasons were adding up to my sleepless night which made things more difficult.  Only if he could have been home I would sleep in peace. The silence of the night, the water dropping sound from the tap and the ticking sound from the wall clock were adding to mess around with my mood. 

It was late, eleven at night and no sign of sleep but only increasing ache in my head. To idle away the time I decided to call a friend.  I spoke to him for couple of minutes and hung up.  People in Nepal sleep so early that I couldn't think of any other single soul to whom I could talk at such point of time. Tossing and turning in bed, I frisked for my laptop so that I could spend some more time chatting around but then I realised my laptop was gone.

It was one at night and I wanted to call my best friend. Being married I gave a second thought if it was alright to call a guy who is my best friend at such point of time. Marriage does weird thing, makes you matured and makes you act stupid too. Though my husband is very understanding and he understands how close I am with my friends no matter boy or girl, still the second thought emerged my mind and I decided to hang up when I heard a knock at the door.

“Who is it?” I asked. It was him.

In his memories

Old memories of ours,
flickers again and again.
A day so sweet, a day so sour,
in your memories now and then.

Tears play hide and seek
but I try not to think.
Everything come forth like it just happened 

moments is slipping, nothing again.

Eyes related problems

Eye alignment problem, aisa bhi hota hai kya? Weird! I had constant headache for past one week and I finally decided to see an eye specialist when I was in Kolkata. Just two tests and they declared that I have some eye alignment problem and this can be fixed with particular set of eye exercises. The only side effect of this is head ache and nothing else.  This was something new to me. Eye alignment problem?? Bipasa Basu huh?? Lol.

I immediately asked my husband to find out with the doctors in my town (Biratnagar, Nepal) if they have such exercise facilities and to my utmost surprise they do. It’s been two sittings and after each session I have a heavy head and eyes ache  too. I still have to go through minimum of 16 sittings. Duh, what a pain.

When I asked the Doctor the reason behind my dry eyes, he answered that I had big eyes and the moisture of eyes evaporates easily. People with big eyes have more problems than small eyes. Though he is a well renowned Doctor in Kolkata, his answers to my questions left me incredulous. Dry eyes have no healing except to use artificial tear drops called “Refresh Tears” every day which make your eyes less dry. For me, it started with a severe conjunctivitis which stayed for a month and then the problem went on.

Finally Oranges and Ra.Two thing..

I was about to write about oranges in the sun but then I ended up having sneak peak in Neha’s blog who writes her review on Chetan Bhagat’s new novel “Revolution 2020”.  I am a slow reader. When I sit down to read something I do everything but reading. Checking sms, FB, chatting in messenger is big time distraction.

Coming back to Oranges, o what a feeling it is to eat oranges after waiting for winter so long. Sign of fog but yet the sun rays, sitting beside the window and eating oranges with my favourite person in home, my mother in law. Trying different way of eating oranges so that the tongue can twist and feel the awesomeness of the juice and pulp. yummm.

Ra.two -- I never thought Ra-one would be so boring movie. I read about the review on Ra.one before I went to watch the movie. My mother in law was damn excited to watch this movie. We reached the shopping mall at 10:30 and as per the mall’s timing, shops open only at sharp 11:00 AM. We were highly bored so bought ourselves two tickets of Ra.One in Gold class. Though the movie was boring we enjoyed the Gold class feel. Nicely yawned, slept and dreamt.

Sad thing was I had to watch the movie twice. My husband needed a company as there was a show covered my Round table (something like Rotary Club). I couldn’t say him no but somehow managed to be there for 2hrs 35 mins.

After all anything for love.

Diwali Prep and Dandiya night

I went out with my husband to attend a friend's birthday party. It was fun dining eight friends together followed by water and beer fight :)
Today we have plan to attend Dandiya function in evening. I hate dressing up for such occasion but still I am looking forward to this gathering.
Oh yes I finally resumed gyming with RD with time. It feels great working out.  I will also be learning swimming soon.
After praying for so long finally it is raining today. Rain simply adds smile on my face. I feel like having nice coffee.
Current status : 1, 2, 3 Check-
a) Oiled my hair with coconut hair (missed mom as she always use to oil my hair)
b) Applied Aloe vera (wo bhi Ramdev baba ka, lol...) in my face.
Saturday always feels like self pampering. Bubble bath in tub, followed by home made hair treatment, facial adding some nice movies with my husband.
My mother in law made pan cake. Thought it didn't come out how I know what pan cake looks like, it was still very nice of her to make pan cake for me for the first time. I know it is not fair, instead I should be cooking for her. That time will also come soon ;
My sister is law will be joining us for Diwali so planning for nice Rangoli this time. Though I am very bad in art, I will be helping her to fill the outlines with colours.
Apart from normal Diyas, candles and firecrackers if you guys have some other Diwali decoration ideas please share with me.
Oh yes RD's Bday is nearing. Its on 23rd September. I am still not able to come up with good idea to surprise him. Please help me.

The Unforgetful Party

The Journey to getting married was just awesome. Our bachelor party, every small functions and the Sangeet dance with Rohit in our favorite song Aankhon ki gunkhaiyaan..

Read it out for more details of what all happened.

The Cocktail party (aka Bachelor party) was just awesome. I was dressed up in red tube dress which I luckily found while shopping for something else. Nikita and Gitu my childhood friends along with my cousin sisters Dipti and Minu were with me, all set to hit dance floor. First I was shy of what I was wearing (as Rohit’s Cousin had to join us) but as soon I saw RD my whole surrounding was blurred.  All I knew by his gaze was that I looked beautiful. His fixed eyes on me made me feel that I did not need to bother who would see me and  how.

The dance floor was on the top most floor of a mall in Siliguri and the lift to the all the floors are located in the middle of the mall. It was embarrassing for us to reach the lift in front of the crowd but we managed somehow. There was a special number- “Wo peheli baar, jab hum mile” played for me and RD to dance in center of the dance floor. The dance was sexy and enjoyable because we both we high.  Half of the time we were busy spinning round and round holding hands (like how the camera moves in all direction in Hindi serial). We couldn’t help kissing in front of our friends and we didn’t bother either. It would be one of the best dances I ever had. At the end of party everyone was so badly drunk. The puking scene disgusted the floor and whoever stood to walk on their clumsy legs fell down on puke. It would be my memory stored in pages of my life time experience. We still talk about it and laugh.

Everyone was so badly drunk that none could remember how many times each of them fell down and how and who got hurt.

Next morning when I got up and checked myself out in the mirror I was surprised to see big boil on my head. We all laughed about it though I was little worried because Sangeet was on the same day,  a day before the big day the bride has a big boil on her head :P

Fasting...

Today is my first fasting after marriage. I am not much a true believer of fasting but then I fast for Krishna Janmastmi every year. I started fasting for Krishna Janmastmi when I was in class 11 and I wanted Lord Krishna to make my love story a success. Since then every year for RD I fast and worship Lord Krishna to bless me so that I could be his(RD's) soul-mate.

Today I fasted for Chana Chatt. It is something like Karwa Chaut. In this we are allowed to eat proper meal once at 4 in the morning and eat fruits or drink milk, juice, tea throughout the day.

My mother in law is damn caring. She called me at 4 in the morning to remind to have my breakfast. I don’t know how the day will pass because last fasting of Krishna Janmastmi was terrible. I felt sick for 10 days. I guess it was because of food poisoning.

I hope today won't be that difficult.

Finally in unit digits- 9 days to go

I can't believe I was away from my blog world since three months. Finally here to update again. Last time I posted I was counting back from 105 days. Finally its reduced to unit digit and I am still counting days. I am getting married on 6th July so I have been super busy. I always thought how can any one be so busy before months from the wedding day and now I realized wedding isn't any easy task.

I have been pretty depressed about my close friends not attending my marriage and its all because June -July is pathetic month to get married. Heat & rain, new job -so no missing training, internship, new session and relatives weddings and blah blah. Worst thing I can't do any thing about it.

The big day is near by and I wasn't even excited about it unless Nikita started flooding my FB Inbox and walls with all the excited scribble. Thanks Niks u really got me into wedding mood. I am glad she isn't ditching me on my big day. Today was the day when I and RD rehearsal for our sangeet dance. We chose our very special song - Aankhon ki Gusthakiyaan as this song means a lot to us (he had proposed me in the background of this song). The practice is done and we had great time dancing with all the close-ups and missing steps and redoing and giggling about it. I just hope when the final day comes to dance we do not forget steps and become busy looking at each other (likes those hindi movie types) :P and later realising that the song had already past away.

30th June would be my second wedding function of Haldaat and Geet. Looking forward to have fun in saree and celebration. I am sure that's enough update for now.

P.S. You all are invited on my wedding. Its happening in Siliguri (West Bengal, India). The wedding website link is http://www.mywedding.com/nidhiandrohit/ where u can find all the needed information. Please sign the guestbook and be a part of the memory lane of this wonderful journey of my new life.

105 days to go..

Suddenly I get butterflies. 105 days to go for my wedding. It sounds so near and when I think other ways it feels so far. Today morning when I visited my wedding link it showed 105 days to go for “THE DAY”. I smiled and felt I should hurry up with preparation. Not much time is left.

Last time for my sister’s wedding my dad had to write down names on card all by himself. It was a big and time consuming task so this time I have decided to give him helping hand by typing the addresses and getting it printed.

Finally shopping date is finalised. I will be going to Calcutta for shopping on 17^th of April with my parents and sis adding to it my in-laws, RD and his brother. I guess it will be fun to shop together.

Calcutta will be extremely hot. I just hope the weather remain pleasant during our visit.

This time pre wedding days won’t be fun as my elder sister is already married and my cousin sisters do not have holidays during that time. It’s not fun when kids are not around.

I and RD have been planning our HM. When I look into the website about the top honeymoon destination, all it speaks about is beach, island, and mountains. These are not place I wanna go, I neither wanna go visit a place full of museums and churches. I just want our trip to be less tiring and more relaxing. Meanwhile explore the city, not like those lazy couple who would spend most of the days of their trip in doors (yaar mein buddhi toh nahi hogi to think all this?)

Excitement begins. It is like Sensex going through peek and trough.

P.S. Please visit our wedding link and leave few words in guestbook.

Best Valentine Day..

Last night he had asked me to wake him up at 5:30 in the morning. I thought it was his general morning shift in his factory work. He didn’t call me after 11:30PM that night. I didn’t expect him to. It was a valentine day. A part of me felt it was a special day and other part of me felt it was just another normal day. Special day is when I am with him. I didn’t wish any of my friends yesterday night because I wanted him to be first one to wish me and vice a versa.

I got a call from him at 8:15 in the morning. It’s always good to hear his sleepy voice. 8 AM is my office time and I was prepared to work today. He said, “Come to dad’s room”. I was little surprise. I thought he was kidding. Next I heard Buddy barking, I heard mom saying RD was here. I opened my door and asked him to come to my room over phone. I hung up and went back to sleep thinking it was all a joke, probably a dream. He entered my room and kissed me good morning.

It felt so amazing. My room was stinking because of no ventilation and as a matter of fact he said I was stinking too. I quickly got up to brush my teeth and join him in my dad’s room with mom, dad, sister and my brother in law. I couldn’t helping looking at him and smiling, trying to digest the surprise.

Later we found ourselves a room to be alone. We were lying looking at each other, trying to catch some sleep in between (he woke up at 5AM to meet. It takes him around 2 hours to reach my place by car)

He was there just for two and half hours and all this while I was in cloud nine. We had breakfast together. He brought me chocolates and a card which said “Just cannot simply or with difficulty find or fill your space with another person. You are perfect, Love RD”

P.S.  TO RD-  I am glad you made my day. I love you so much. Now I can say my courtship period isn’t that boring ;)

Disturbia..

At times I am bad mood and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know the reason why I am upset. There will be things in head which plays passively and I don’t even know that I have been thinking about it and it has been hurting.

Friends have different reaction to this phase of mine. If I share with Rohit he always tries to be realistic and explains me in his own way which again I won’t be in mood to listen cause how I see & feel things, he is not able to(no one will be able to). Other friends would be like – “haan hota hai, life is like this only!!!” damn lame lines those are. Totally sucks. ” you think a lot”, yes I do. I can’t help it.

With some friends I don’t try to share cause I know the more I talk about it, the more I think and I tend to get more upset. Ultimately these small issues settle itself with good sleep or nice music or even a good romantic movie to distract to myself. Thing is my friends don’t understand that time can be healer instead they would poke me to share. All I can say is dude let me sleep I will be fine. I don’t wanna go through all the phases again with you, explaining you things. I can handle my problem myself. If I need you I will talk to you and if tomorrow morning I am not cool I shall get back to you. Well I am sure I have rights to go under hibernation for a couple of days. I am allowed to miss couple of days of my life from public profile.

Two days. No updates from Nidhi on FB

Friend A -- Hiiiii Nidhi. Didn’t see you in FB for two days. What are you busy with?

Friend B -- looks like too busy with RD, no time for friends huh!!!

My new hobby

I was all set for shopping today. Had taken leave to go to Siliguri and shop my needful but all in vein as I got conjunctivitis! Sucks. Along with my eyes my head is also hurting. I can't be in front of laptop for long. I shouldn't watch TV or read books. I don't know what to do. Slept long, got up at twelve to kill time and another reason to be warm inside my blanket in this cold day.     
Got this new hobby of trying some easy recipe along with my sister. Trying recipe through cookbook or some net search. If you have any good snack recipe please do share. Made chilli cheese toast yesterday and today garlic potato tikki. Both were good except that all the fillings came out of Aloo tikki. So instead to deep frying we made in frying pan with less oil. 
I hope this winter gets over soon!!!

Found this new book in http://www.landmarkonthenet.com.com called “The song reader” by Lisa Tucker.

The plot: When two sisters are left alone after the death of their mother and the disappearance of their father, Mary Beth becomes the hero of both her younger sister and their entire town. She is a "song reader." She doesn't read palms or tarot cards; she reads people's secrets and desires from the songs they can't get out of their minds.

Me & my mother in Law

My mother in law had come home for a short visit on her way to Siliguri. It’s always so good to see her. Before my engagement I could not talk to her as a daughter as it would felt forceful but since I am engaged things have turned better. She calls me up almost every day and it has become a habit to talk to her once or twice a day. This bond feels good and I hope it stays like this forever. It was little difficult to call my mother in law as “Maa” (that is what she wanted me to call her), but now it doesn’t really matter. Indeed we both like to say and hear “Maa”. When other members of mine or his family gets confused of which mother I am referring, I tell them Mumma means my mother in law and Mummy or Maa means my mom :)

She got a pretty salwar suits for me today and now she wants a party from me since my birthday is nearing. Wow things are happening!!

Writings..

It’s been a couple of month I left Bangalore, a month since I am engaged, nearly 19 days since my sister got married. So many things have changed. With these changes I always wanted to share my heart to this blog but this and that always kept me away from being here.

Today finally I gather time to jot down and like always it feels great.

I was asked by my company to write blog post. Wait! does it mean professional post?? Oh yes!! The word “Formal/professional” doesn’t describe me when it comes to writing. As Harshita, My Shit-For-Tat friends and other fellow bloggers always described as “Dil Se” writer with “No mirch masala”. Well I still took this challenge of writing and learning for my seniors and thought it’s always good to learn more. I indeed wrote two posts that was published on my company bloglist on my name and designation (which I can’t divulge here sorry!! company policy).

It is not easy to write a formal post as so many things should be kept in mind. At times it gets so boring and many times irritating too. Still the final result always adds smile to the lips.

Don’t wanna continue any more on this topic. Wait for more, Nidz will be back soon with many updates and many more post.

This blog was expected to be published on 28th December but published it today.

Anyways Happy New Year to all of you. May 2011 be filled with joys and happiness.
