To make a short story long a few backs Sobha reestablished contact with me. We had been emailing each other more frequently than usual and one fine day she tells me that she has got a job with MCX in Mumbai. Fine. I was happy. I go to Mumbai once in a while we could meet more often. More importantly I can call her from office and it won't cost me a penny, so we can talk more often :-)

Then she dropped a so-called actually-not-so-shocking shocker (her term). Sobha has got engaged and the lucky guy is Jipson.

Jipson is with TCS (Pune), is a finance guy and is generally onsite/abroad. For the last 2 weeks or so since Sobha told me about Jipson, I have been calling him 'Jitson' and NOT Jipson. I must have mentioned his name to Sobha at least tens of times but great Sobha never corrected me. I even SMSed her once asking for Jipson's mobile number and still no correction. Height of laziness.

I was in Ahmedabad in the month of March to celebrate Holi. These are some pics from that thoroughly memorable day. We always celebrate Holi in this manner. We get together at some place and colour each other with the so-called natural colours. Then we hunt around in packs and go to those friend's places who did not come and colour them also. We play in the worst manner possible. All the colours used have a dark green base colour that remains on various parts of the body for many days. They don't go even if you bathe in hot water for 3 hours (I have tried). Holi hai!

You can see many more of my flickr pics if you want to.
