I am now someone's "kakima", "didi" and "bhabhi" and happy to be :) What a huge family I've married into :) I feel like i am now related to half of India. It's incredible. We have left our family home in Laxman Jhula and are now in Delhi staying for a few days. I am already missing hearing "kakima! kakima!" from the kids a hundred times a day. The really fun part is.... before Nakul and I were married, it was just Ritu they called kakima, but now, both Ritu and I are kakima to our niece and nephew Manu and Gunnu. It took my awhile to start answering to calls of "kakima" and now whenever the word "kakima" is uttered, both Ritu and I look up from what we are doing. I suspect the kids must think this is awesome, that now they get two responses from one call. Too funny. Ritu and I both have to look up in order to see which of us is being called. Wow! So we are in Delhi, yes, its lovely, cause we're at the Hilton Saket. Sooooo comfy. Sooooo luxurious. A short honeymoon of sorts. We are sleeping in a bed that is exactly double the size of ours at home and it's unbelievably comfortable. Anyhow, I'll be home soon. Missing everyone. Sending love.

December 7, 2012, but you know that already. Life is good. very very good. man, i always have a million things to write but then when i sit down to write them, my mind goes blank! one more week until nakul and i go to delhi for our "honeymoon". its a miracles of modern technology that i can sit beside the river Ganga watching the water go by from a cafe, drinking chai and be on the internet with my husband's internet stick, chatting with my mom and trying to remember what i wanted to blog about. why does my mind go blank now whenever i open this page? last week. what to say? we are up to our eyeballs in paperwork. the river is green. life rolls on. :)

Hey i know i've been totally caught up in all the wedding and family stuff lately. my parents and bro just left today. ddrove out of rishikesh on their way to catch a train to delhi tomorrow. strange to see them go. feels like we've all been here for months and months, not just four weeks. so now i'm just enjoying some me time. sitting, looking at the hills, drinking chai... got my internet stick, thanks to my beloved husband (so weird to say that, but fun) and i am just free wheelin and smilin. the intensity of the wedding celebrations has settled down and now life returns somewhat to normal. 2 weeks to enjoy here and then off to delhi ourselves for a mini honeymoon. well, i realized, again, i have very little to write about. sorry about it. love to all, me.
