Happy New Year 2068 B.S (14th April 2011)

Last night, I was skype-ing with my best friend “Sanju” & I didn’t realize we video chatted till four in the morning (Nepali Time), but it was just 4 PM at her end (in Texas). The sleepless night made me feel drowsy & dizzy at work today.

We talked about our Uni days(all healthy gossips), classmates, families & my recent trips.  Those carefree days and the giggles! We didn’t feel for a second that we were actually in two different continents, in different time zones. Technology makes it easier to stay in touch wherever you are. 

The main topic of our discussion was “Jyoti! settle down now”. Every time we meet or talk online, she has to say, “It’s high time for you to select someone (yeah, she doesn’t say FIND) & settle down”. She has a strong reason (that she thinks)- “all our friends are married & have kids now. So you also have to think about it seriously”. As always, I try convincing her, “Though I appear to be with “the one who is kinda’ Mr. Right NOW”, but still, I’m waiting for my Mr. Right”. Lol.

She grew up with the concept that every girl should get married, and at the right age… (Nothing to do with finding the right person) whereas these stuff are secondary in my life. In exceptional circumstances, I might also be ready to compromise or make a commitment, but for me, my career & my freedom come first. I have still a long way to go. It’s just a beginning sweetie! :-)

Our best friend Roshni, who is also married by now & has a son, is almost lost these days. She comes in our contact like once in a blue moon. She appreciates my concept of living and what I am doing. We understand her situation; husband, kids, in-laws & job….but we miss her presence.

Inscribing about my gfs, my thoughts run decade back into the New Year Eve Celebration (Nepali New Year). We (Sanju, Roshni & I) had celebrated the Eve at Sanju’s place. The real party begun after her folks fell asleep. Every silly things we did were so funny, especially, calling one of our EX in the middle of the night to vent our anger to show him where he stands (sorry dude! whereva u are).

Tomorrow is our Nepali New Year Eve, Girls! I have ample reasons to reminisce our days. Wish you a very Happy and prosperous New Year 2068 (Baishak 2068 B.S) & all the happiness in your married life. I know both of you are proud of me & so am I. No doubt, you are great wives & loving moms.


No worries, I too will be on the league one day!! ;) ;)
