Do you know, I am already freaking out? And I should be too! Its December already and the wedding's in January. Doesn't leave me with much time, does it? Time for what? I don't know...maybe a lil more time to spend at home with my dad, mom and my newly painted room? [Yeah, I am starting to get nostalgic now. Recently on my birthday everyone kept saying that it was my last birthday as a single gal. Bah. It drove my mom to tears twice. Not the best way to bring in your 25th, is it?]
Currently my room looks more like a store room. The window baithak [French windows with seating arrangement] is occupied by four big suitcases. Each of these contain some part of my trousseau. And am I done shopping? Nope. Not completely still! There has been a change of plans and now I too want to wear a traditional Gujarati panetar instead of the honey-gold colour Kanjeevaram I was planning to wear. Bah. All last minute changes.
My cupboard has been converted into another storage area that contains my regular clothes and the stuff thats coming in from the designers/tailors. I am not allowed to wear any of these yet. I managing in my juna-purana stuff...so I have to still hunt for the perfect Panetar. Everyone seems to know the best place to purchase it from and it gets even more confusing. On the other hand, Him, my man, is worried whether I will turn into an auntyjee who only wears sarees [because I purchased so many!] and his jeans-kurta wearing girlfriend will be lost forever!
I'm sure the jeans kurta girlfriend can never be lost...that's a huge part of your identity as far as I know you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I remember a post where you mentioned that you'd love to have a registered court marriage in a jeans and kurta...So that's you essentially !

ReplyDeleteYup thats me, truly me. But this image has got my mom in law thinking whether I have or not, any taste in clothes! Bah.
Life's too short to think about what others think about you!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I almost made a proverb copyright me ;-)
