Latest news from my side

2006-05-31T07:28:00.000-07:00

I am in Hyderabad. Settling still. Living out; after a luxurious stay at ISB is very difficult. Still struggling with things. Catching up with my ISB friends and missing all of them more n more with every passing day.
I visited the campus a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be the same old place with new faces around. Won't be able to make for the ISB Hyd Alumni reunion scheduled for this weekend.

It gives me immense pleasure to see some people really wait for me to post here.
will try to blog now as much as I can.

Christmas Day celebrations @ISB

2005-12-27T20:54:00.000-08:00

The Christmas day celebration was marked by students singing Carols and kids performing a play. On 24th night, the Christmas tree was decorated too. The lawns of SV2 looked amazing with all the decorations.
I missed the event as my BIL had come over and we went out with him. However, I have no doubts that this would have been another successful event added in the history of Life@ISB. The best part of this celebration was kids received candies in front of their house on 25th morning. This was something which was surprising and took everyone aghast. It was such an innovative idea. I am sure the kids n their parents will never be able to forget this. The Santa aunties went around on 24th night putting goodies at the doorsteps. Hats Off to the Santa aunties. Commendable job done.
As this wonderful year (2005) is nearing its end, I am sure it has given all of us some life long memories. I will try to summarize the events of this year (SFA) in my coming post.

Last few days

2005-12-22T23:51:00.000-08:00

Its been few days since I wrote, so here I am. Its quite hectic these days and I am struggling with balancing things.

SFA is planning big time for a lot of activities in the remaining 3 mnths. Some of the events being planned are –
• Christmas Day
• New Year Movie Screening
• Sports Fest
• Lohri
• Ramuji Film City Outing etc etc…

The list is really long. Don’t u feel J.. :-))) :-)))…

I am regular at my exercising these days; I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Lots of families, have their parents visiting these days. Vacation time at its best :-)). This has even led to shortage of extra beddings and almost all of them are struggling for extra mattress. There are no extra blankets either. I think the housekeeping should increase their inventory.

For the students, they have their end terms staring 2nd or 3rd Jan. The placement breeze has started flowing in from all directions and students are getting geared up /ready for the placement storm which is to hit the campus in mid Feb.

Weekend of 17-18' 2005

2005-12-19T01:36:00.000-08:00

Occupied with work@office these days.

Last weekend was simply superb. We (me and hubby) decided to have a reunion with his college friends who are working in Hyderabad. I called them over the week and we decided to meet up and at our place and go for a party on Saturday. Saturday being working for me, I could not prepare anything at home and ended up getting some stuff from the café at the last moment. That too, when they came home, the phone calls started pouring in from all over. All the calls were for me. I was juggling from one room to another. They sat at our place for some 30 mins, out of which I could hardly sit with them for 10 mins. Hubby was getting a little annoyed but I couldn’t help much. We went arnd the campus and showed them around. There were 2 of his friends with their wives. I have met one earlier but was meeting the other (obviously his wife too) for the first time.

We all along with a few other friends from campus went for a party. My BIL had arranged passes for this party. The party was simply awesome. We had planned to be back by 10.30, however we actually came back at midnight. By this time, his friends were getting too late and could not join us for the party @ISB. Anywayz, this was one of the memorable evenings so far. We plan to have many such occasions in the future now.

Sunday was okay too. Sleepy. Had to finish a lot of reading, however, could not. I am just getting scared with every passing day. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Came back from a meeting just now where a person commented, reading 150 pages in a day is nothing. I was like “AAhhhh”. I think I need to forget about parties for sometime.

Weekend that went

2005-12-11T20:54:00.000-08:00

Hmmm. Your first question after my last post would now be.. Did I booze a lot on Sat night….Noooooooooooooo………..Somehow I feel boozing is not meant for me. I tried a few sips of Rum though, but that was it. The Carnival was good. Our estimation on making arrangements went hay-wired and till 4 we were not ready. We didn’t have the empty cans for our game. So, we purchased a few cans then and there & asked people to return us the empty cans ASAP, so that we can start our game. It was fun. At night we had the “Bhangra Knights”. Over-all it was a nice day.
My village people and hubby surprised me with a cake cutting at 10.00pm itself on Saturday. I was kindaa expecting a cake cutting from my friends on Sunday morning / evening, but on Saturday nnaaaaaaaaaaa…. It was good. We had 2 cakes. One brought by hubby and the other by my friends.
After 2 hectic days and nights, I spent the Sunday relaxing at home. I sat in the sun, slept, watched a DVD and had a great relaxing weekend after a long time (at least that what I felt).
Lot of people say that our SV is a happening place these days. It feels so good to hear that. When I came in around 2 months back, I heard people saying, our SV is the dull of all other SV’s, but now it’s the reverse. Thanks to the last couple of parties which happened here.. he he he….

Party: Arabian Nights

2005-12-09T20:49:00.000-08:00

Last night was a blast@ISB. Till 10pm last night, we were busy preparing our banners for Carnival scheduled for today. We went to the party at 12.00 midnight and danced. I wanted to try booze from quite sometime now. Asked hubby last night and he was like “NO”. However, a friend of mine supported me. I had some beer, tried hooka and in the last when I told hubby, I had a lit bit of Vodka too. But you know I didn’t loose myself. I want to loosen up and go out of control for once.

Planning to booze tonight too… he he he. Seems like me has gonna piyakadd J…

Dec 9, 2005

2005-12-09T02:20:00.000-08:00

Went for shopping on Tuesday, but it was a total waste of time and energy. I didn’t find anything good anywhere. We went to a couple of places, however, I liked only costly items everywhere. booo hooo  

There are 2 parties lined up over the coming weekend. Cool.. ….
Days are quite hectic these days, Office, some heath exercises / programs to attend to, dinner, walk and then off to sleep at around 1.30 or 2.00 and then back to the routine around 7.00 again … But I am enjoying it….sometimes it gets tiring but otherwise its okay. My body parts pain these days because of these exercises. One day I had cramps in my stomach, the other day my legs were aching and yet another day something else starts paining. Seems like never ending ;)

Last night was BAD, I was coughing like hell. I tried not to wake up hubby for quite sometime. But then it was getting worse with every passing moment. Finally I woke him up. He is really a great person when it comes to all this. He didn’t say anything and woke up instantly. He tried his best to provide some relief to me. If I would have been at his place, I know I would started like, kaha hai naa yeah mat kiya karo who mat kiya karo.. suntae kab ho.. bhugto ab. Hubby knows this attitude of mine very well. He often comments, in future whenever your kid will hurt himself, instead of consoling him you will start shouting at him and he will forget the pain and will get scared of mumma’s daant.
I am fine now.

My health these days is not that great. The allergy has again surfaced up. Initially when I relocated to Hyd, I was fine for a few months and hence I thought that this place has suited me. But NO, that was just a misconception. It is troubling me again. Please save me from this allergy. Last night’s incident was also because of the same.

Today, we have to go to buy some stuff for solstice for our stalls.

We have a party tonight and the theme is “Arabian Nights”…. Hmmmm.. sounds exciting. … isn’t it……

Party, Party everywhere

2005-12-05T21:49:00.000-08:00

This seems to be a party time these days at our SV with a lot of people celebrating their B'days, anniversaries ... Ufff. The weekend is so hectic these days with these parties. Hardly get time for anything. Even doing regular grocery becomes a challenge and time management is the key then.

SFA needed a few more people; I volunteered but took my name back because of some personal commitments. Hubby is after me to start studying however; I come up with a new excuse everyday. Lets see till how long can I escape like this ;)...
aarae yaar. I can't be everywhere ....ab pado bhi.. yoga bhi jaao.. gym bhi jao.... solstice ki tayari bhi karo.. aakhir main nanhi si jaan kya kya karoon... lagta hai I am more busy then any student here......

Kal to hadd hi ho gayi.. I was at home and so was hubby and as usual my chatter box was ON.. hubby jee bolae.. tum chup reh sakti ho.. padnae do ......aaj kal tum bahar hi achii ho. ... haa allah!!! yeah kya..... :o)

Coming weekend, we have solstice planned.. We are having a few game stall. Lets see, if we make profit or go in loss ;)...

Last night I got a good lecture from my friends@ISB and after that from hubby too.... ff yesterday was not my day.......kabhi kabhi doosroan ka din aata hai.. don't worry bachoan mera bhi din aayega :-)))

Mez going for shopping today. I prepared 2 vegetables last night so I can shop till late today without worrying for dinner........ mez smart and plan for future.. he he he... akhir kabhi kabhi aisa bol kar apnae aap ko khush karnae mein kya jaata hai ;)......

Dec 1st 2005

2005-12-01T03:03:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we had a party in our SV. Courtesy: E, party hosted by B. E was after B for a party :-)). B was left with no choice :-)).
There are so many parties these days, someone's b'day or anniversary.
Hubby has a lot of assignment submissions, this term has started with a lot of assignments. I plan to see a movie over the coming weekend. Enough is enough. I want a break out of this.
Catching up with a lot of friends these days. Will try to post from snaps of yesterday's party from home.

rest after the break. Till then have a KitKat..

Nov 30th 2005

2005-11-29T22:37:00.000-08:00

Here goes Nov too. Its been more than 2 months since I came to this place. If I look back, it does not look like that at all. Time just flies..

Lots of work in office is keeping me busy these days. Not that I am going home late, but still whatever time I am in office, its totally packed. And then back at home too, pretty occupied. Solstice and Poseidon are approaching. We (SFA) are planning to take part in Carnival. We would be taking care of few game stalls. waao.. Looking forward to that. Lets see.. Have to plan a lot for the same, over the coming weekend.

A new spouses has joined our SV. Cool.... She has the same inhibitions, which I had when I joined in. But I am sure, she will also get over all of them soon and would become a part of our large family :-).

There are a lot of other things being done / planned these days, like our inconvenience store is finally heading towards being a convenience store .. he he he.. I hope future batches will enjoy all of it, Counseling services arranged for a positive parenting session for all spouses.

Yeah.. This post would be incomplete if I don't write anything about the goof-up which I did day before yesterday. One of our friends has her b'day today and as per our custom, we planned to have the cake cutting ceremony. I had already placed an order for a cake for 29th night a few days back itself. I don't know what happened to me, I called up our cafe on 28th to confirm if they are preparing the cake. The person said "we will". And I was happy till 3.00 pm, when R pointed out that the B'day is on 30th. After reading R's mail, I said to myself, yes her B'day is on 30th, that’s why I have ordered the cake today, where lies the confusion or am i missing something. I checked my calendar and was like Oooooooooooooooooo Nooooooooooooooooooooooo............... How can I do such a mistake. Today is 28th and not 29th....... we called up cafe and they refused to sell / cancel that order. In the evening, I spoke to the manager and he agreed. Last night we got our order, but I didn't ask if they are giving me the same cake or they managed to sell that off. Whatever done is now done. Lesson learnt.. be active but never be hyper active :-))).. he he he.....

I attended one of the speaker series arranged by BTC club yesterday (my first). Initially I saw all students walking towards the Lecture Theater and was hesitant to enter the room, but when I saw a known face approaching (though student), I was happy. The talk was good. I asked D to attend too, but she got caught up in something else and could not attend the same.

Mez having fun and hope u too.... working too.. not just fun okay ;)
Chalo enough for now.. will catch u all later :-).....

I am really hurt today

2005-11-28T10:24:00.000-08:00

I am hurt today (emotionally) because of something which happened with me...

I am believing in HIM and I believe that he is there to see everything.....

Students@ISB - All the best for your Tern 5 Exams

2005-11-21T20:21:00.000-08:00

All the best for your exams. Be it in any form - Timed or take home.

Smiles

Booo Hoooooooooo Hooooooooooo

2005-11-21T05:42:00.000-08:00

I am still in office. Came in early today because I had to go home early. Had to accompany S2 to the market, but see my condition I am still hanging arnd in office. I had to leave office at 5, however some urgent work came up which had to be finished today itself. Called up S2 in her office but she had already started. I ran to my gate and told S2 to get down and we can go tomm. But tomm was not possible for her, hence she had to go alone. Sorry S2. I am very sorry yaar. I am still in office waiting for teh confirmation of the work which I did just now.

I played a lot of baadi yesterday almost after a decade. And I played for long too (1.5 hrs) and my body is aching like hell today. All the parts seem to be paining. Sab kuch gadbad ek saath hi hoti hai yahan par. I had plans to play today too to maintain continuity but ab nahi lagta.....

Chalo finally me is leaving home now.. Have to cook also :-((

Poor me.............

Bored

2005-11-17T21:09:00.000-08:00

Its very boring these days at home. Just sitting in front of the TV and watching the same for hours and hours together. Was planning to go to Bangalore this weekend, but I have cancelled the program now. Probably will go shopping over the weekend and buy somethings. Lets see.. Sometimes I plan a lot but fail to do anything at all. he he he.. Me Lazy chap ;)

As for the students, the days are very hectic with the end term approaching and a lot of assignments too to make things worse.

There was a movie outing planned this weekend but even that is cancelled now, as the only show timings were 10:30 pm which is very late.

Nov 17 '2005

2005-11-16T20:05:00.000-08:00

Hey All,
I am down with cold, cough and fever these days. Will write in detail later. Nothing great.
Lot of events in Q.

The weekend that went (Nov 12-13'05)

2005-11-13T20:44:00.000-08:00

We had the zoo outing and the children's day celebration this weekend at campus. The event was rescheduled at the last moment because mom's wanted their husband's also to join them at the event. I am not against the rescheduling as such but mom's should have thought over beforehand itself. There was no need for such a last minute change. Some people had to change their plans because of this rescheduling. And to be frank, it was an awkward situation for anyone who would have to speak & justify everyone.

The kids@campus were at their best. U know when I saw the kids n their mom's during the fancy dress, for a few seconds I also had the wish kaash aaj main bhi stage par hoti apnae kido kae saath ;)...

It was such a fun watching these small cute little kids performing. Everyone was looking too good.

I could not go to get the grocery over the weekend. Will see if I can manage the whole week so else I will go out and get something.

Hubby is not feeling well and is having cold and fever. And this disease transmits fast and hence I am also under its influence :-((...

Oh yaa.. This blog would be incomplete if I do not write anything about the Saturday night party arranged by A in SV1. My BIL who was on campus that day with us wanted to see & enjoy one of the ISB parties. Poor fellow waited till midnight (although the scheduled start time was 10:00 pm) but no one has turned up till then. We thought the party is going to be a BIG flop. This could also have been because students had a lot of assignments. However, as soon as we came back after dropping my BIL, we saw that the lawn was crowded and people had come and the party was ON. Hubby didn't join the party as he was down with fever. He went to sleep. I danced a lot & had loads of fun. I came to my room at 2:00 am to find hubby already sleeping. I heard the next morning that the party continued till 5:00 am.

Finally the party turned out to be a BIG SUCCESS. Thanks to all the organizers.

Yahoooooooooo

2005-11-10T19:45:00.000-08:00

I finally finished reading the novel "The Prodigal Daughter"last night. It took me almost 2 mnths to finish the same.. BAD NA..... hmmmmm
These days somehow I don't feel like cooking at home at all. The whole of this week, I have been trying not to cook anything. Good holiday isn't it. But aaj to ghar jaa kar kuch cook karoongi.. aisae kaisae roj roj chutti....
I was unable to wake up today for office. Hubby darling tried waking me up a lot of times (daekho aaj suraj kahan sae nikala hai, he trying to wake me up) but I was like nahi 10 mins more please. I kept on doing this for long when it reached the threshold and I had to wake up finally.
Students are very busy these days with a lot of assignments, but at the same time, there are a lot of parties / events happening these days.
Di might be joining us for the new year now... cool na....

Feeling Damn Damn Sleepy

2005-11-09T02:14:00.000-08:00

kya karoon... feeling damn damn sleepy....

Uffff... I am so tired.... But what did I do that I am feeling so tired?? kuch bhi nahi aisa phir kyon....

Nov 9, 2005

2005-11-08T21:21:00.000-08:00

A lot of events lined up in the near future. The list in its chronological order is –

Zoo Outing (For kids)
Children’s Day
ISB Leadership Summit
Solstice 2005
Poseidon 2005

Lot of preparations going on, these days on the campus. SFA is involved in Zoo Outing (For kids), Children’s day and Solstice.

On a different note, We are having a welcome party for one of the spouses and their new baby today.

The students are very busy these das with a lot of assignments and we hardly see them. The atrium seems to be full at all times.

Last night, I was not in a mood to cook. We went to the Dining Hall and didn't find anything good. Then, we went to the cafe and only sandwitches were left day and neither of us wanted to have that too. Disappointedly we came back home and I HAD TO COOK :((. what a SAD day at times. Our car is down these days. My sweet hubby darling left the headlights ON and the battery went down. So, these days we can't even go out anywhere. Commuting through an auto is simply not possible. The auto stand in front of ISB has monopoly and hence they charge extra.

ISB has changed my schedule also

2005-11-07T04:05:00.000-08:00

It was a wonderful party last evening. We danced, sang, cracked jokes and teased each other . It was fun. Chalo the long weekend ended with a good ending.

ISB has changed my daily routine in terms of sleep. I was a believer of early to bed early to rise, however this is no longer true for me. Last night, I thought whatever it be.. I will sleep at 11. I went to bed at 11 sharp. But I was awake till arnd 1:30 or 2:00. I have gotten into the habit of late to bed and late to rise. And above all in office days when I have to get up early, it seems like a punishment. I was telling hubby, I want to see the morning sun of ISB. I hope I am able to see it before I leave this place.

So, its not just the students their spouses also slog here…So, its all about slogging here.

Climate here@hyd is changing and it’s a little cold now-a-days.

B'days, b'days n b'days

2005-11-06T03:40:00.000-08:00

Too many b'days (spouses) lined up in the month of Nov. U know why because ...;).. November is 9 mnths after Valentine.. he he he....

I have started the tradition of dunking n cake cutting in our village (among spouses)... waao.. me the trend setter....:-)))

what else.... weekend as such was VERY VERY boring with nothing much to do.. watched TV, TV and TV.. yes I saw one DVD too :)

cya all later.. need to rush for a party ;)...

Nov 5, 2005

2005-11-04T21:45:00.001-08:00

Seems like time is flying and just the thought of moving out of this community makes me feel nostalgic. How are we gonna manage outside this city? There are a lot of events lined up in the near future. Things are very hectic these days. All the chutti from the office go and I don’t even realize how? Something or the other keeps on the happening. ISB (Students of Co of 2006) are standing out in a lot of b-school events. The details have already been put up in a lot of student blogs. This being a long weekend, I am watching DVDs. I was never addicted to English movies, but this place has really made me appreciate and like them. SFA has become famous in its event management and we are getting involved in more and more. After all, we are an integral part of the student community ;).The 2 events lined up as of now are – Zoo Outing for kids and Children’s Day celebration. The pressure at the ISB is slowly building up as the placements are nearing. Time just flies and these people are now running at the mid-term of Term5.

C u all later..:-)

Tash Party

2005-10-29T20:43:00.000-07:00

We had the tash party finally. Because of the rain we thought that the turn out is gonna be poor and its gonna b a flop. But slowly people started turning up and it was good. Although I didn’t play myself but overall it was good. We had tea and some snacks. This weekend is very hectic for hubby with a lot of assignments lined up. Above all, we have to necessarily go shopping because we have 2 buy some clothes for him. Its very difficult to get sometime from him these days. There is work given by my mom which has to be done, but we are unable to go and get it done from the past 2-3 weeks. Lets hope we can complete it soon.

Rest, Diwali is on the line now…….

Latest updates

2005-10-28T22:33:00.000-07:00

Ok… Now that my blog has gone public its my moral responsibility to try and keep it updated as much as possible. So here I go again. Haven’t blogged from quite a long time because this place is keeping me busy. Hell of a busy. I think that’s very important also because as we don’t see our other half most part of the day, it becomes important to keep us involved with some other activities.

Term Break
The LONG term (about 1 week) came and went by. Most of the time was spent watching DVDs from the library. We didn’t go anywhere for 2 reasons, my office and hubby’s ELP. I watched atleast 10-12 movies during that time. Sometimes, I started feeling I have become a movie lover suddenly. We used to return one and get another one. One day we saw 3 DVDs at home. Dandiya preparation during the term break were weak because many families had gone out for term break.

Karwa Chauth
I took a half day from office that day and came home early. Did pooja and all & went to RC for the common thali rotation. It was thoda thoda confusion but enjoyed it. In the night we had the awesome dinner by SFA. Met some new people there. Good…. U know I met one exciting and charming personality there, A. Although I didn’t get a chance to interact with her a lot, but what all I cud see and got to know, she is very enthusiastic. Cool Keep it up!!!....

Dandiya
The dandiya practice continued till the last day and we had the final D-day on 22nd Oct (which coincidently happened to be honey’s b’day too). We couldn’t go out or plan something for his b’day but we enjoyed the dandiya night to the fullest. Dance’d a lot. I had never seen him dance so much in the last 5 years. It came in a shock. But u know he is changing. I appreciate that. Ok. Let me come back to the topic. There was a spouse’s dance followed by a students dance and finally the open dance floor. Let me be a little frank here, I found the students performance much better than ours. Those people practiced for a week and we had been practicing for more than a month.
Over all it was a fun-filled evening.

After the dandiya event, things became a little slow. With nothing planned for the evening. Used to come from the office, prepare dinner and then wait from him to come back or spare sometime with me. But at the same time, I didn’t even wanted him to devote his attention to me and shift his focus. I wanted him to study also but I wanted to talk to someone also….

All the spouses here were feelng the same, so we have now planned for a Jua ;) party today evening. Lets see how it goes. I must say, R is great. She is also so enthusiatic and keeps on coming with some event or the other. Some events still in discussions phases right now are, Zoo outing and Movie.

We went to one of our relatives in Hyd during the term break and I was telling them about the SFA events which keep on happening here. To this aunty said, there used to be friend of theirs who hired a maid just to keep his wife busy so that he can devote his time to his work. That person did a lot in his life and ISB has also adopted this philosophy. We need to keep the spouses also busy so that the students can concentrate on their studies.

I have A LOT OF friends here now… I am loving the place and want to pray.. hey God.. please these 6 months should never go…I want to enjoy life from this dimension also.

I have been trying to read “Prodigal Daughter” from about month now. But never got a chance to finish it because people around here seem to keep me busy all time..which of course I love….

6th Oct 2005

2005-10-06T02:08:00.000-07:00

Isn’t it long since I wrote…. Days are very hectic these days with dance classes in the evening and office during the daytime. One of my friends who was previously working in my project has joined a company around here. Met her in the last 2 days, infact I took her out for grocery shopping last evening. This place is so far from the city that getting groceries for daily household itself seems like an expedition. But whatever it be, this place rocks. This Monday was the last day of their sections. 2 of his classmates have done an awesome work (one prepared a collage of the section mates and the other prepared a video). People here are so innovative. I simple loved it. I am enjoying my dance practice sessions too. I have made some friends here. I am after hubby to bring in some modifications in him. Not that he is not loving and awesome, but u know the perfectionist syndrome from which I suffer. At times, he gets so pissed off that he states, not no reason I want a saggi child. What if he also suffers from the same. Mera jeena to dubhar ho jaayega then. One of his classmates became father this week and people were after him to be dunked. Poor DAD!!!. But later he applied his MBA skills and convinced everyone for not dunking him 
Now that hubby might be a little free over the next week, I am looking forward to spending some quality time with him. I am keeping my fingers crossed 

Looking forward to the forthcoming events, Karwa Chauth and Dandiya night.

This place ROCKS….

Last 2 days update

2005-09-28T02:08:00.000-07:00

I am attending the Dandiya practice sessions regularly. Its fun, but to my disappointment, I have lost all the touch with dance. Need to concentrate there now. I have made couple of friends here and I have really started enjoying my stay here. This morning while waiting for the ISB shuttle, I was thinking and praying Ohh Lord…Please make the next 6 mnths longer n longer. I have already got fascinated with this place. It’s a small city in itself where everyone stays together and has fun. I was also thinking Kaash aisa ho ki humko life mein baad mein bhi aisi hi luxuries milae. Cool isn’t it!!

I am yet to make up some real good friends whom I can also invite for dinner. I discussed the same with hubby and he was like u can invite anyone bachaa. It’s not a problem. I am just waiting for my grinder and spices to come now and then I will start inviting people arnd here.
We are all going for a half day picnic this Friday. I am looking fwd to it and will share the snaps with all of u.

A general thing to all the people who want to join this place at anytime in life. This is a superb place to be and we get this opportunity once in a lifetime wherein you would get to stay with your friends and live with them. Its really fun. I would suggest everyone to come and experience this place.

I was telling my BIL about this yesterday and he say “Bhabhi you are making me J. You are having fun here”

My experience / first impression about SFA

2005-09-25T22:38:00.000-07:00

I got an opportunity to interact with the SFA association active here. We are going to have a Dandiya night on Oct 22nd, hence all spouses met at SV 2, common room to start preparation for the same. I spoke to R (A’s wife) and me, herself, A and P all went together to SV-2. There were a lot of people present there, but to my disappointment I didn’t know anyone. I felt really bad. People knew each other already, but me knew very very few ones. I kept on introducing myself to whomsoever I could. P also introduced me to quite a few people. I felt as if, why the hell did I join late. And if I have joined late, why did I come down for this session. Let me stay at home only. People were also not bothering for an introduction. But may be that’s how it is. With the days to come, I will soon get over this and will start knowing everyone. We started with the dance preparation, it was okay and we finalized on first 3-4 steps. There were people who knew dandiya and were teaching others. The group on the whole is good and very enthusiastic. Lately towards the end, S came to me and asked me if I am the new spouse who was to join. I became so delighted and thought oh good koi to hai who knows and cares. Waisae to P was also showing a lot of concern. I really thank / appreciate S’s gesture. All the people here are nice and good in their own ways. I got to know that S2 (I m naming her S2 to avoid confusion) is our President and R – Vice President. K also showed the treasurer but you know, I am not so good and remembering names soon.
At the end of the day, I realized that may be the coming days are gonna be really hectic, going back from office, cooking, gym, dance classes and the novel which I have started reading (Prodigal Daughter). Cool!! I like it.

Looking forward to the SFA picnic due this weekend & dandiya preparations.

Reached Hyd

Here I go. I have reached Hyd and ISB. By brother-in-law came to pick me up from Bangalore as I had a lot of luggage. Oh my God, the house (specially the kitchen) was such a mess. The kitchen stuff which I shipped from Bangalore was still to be arranged. I cleaned the house and setup my kitchen stuff like utensils n all. The grocery n all, I will go n buy over the weekend.

Joined office yesterday afternoon and was allocated space too. Spoke to my boss and asked for some work.
Today, hubby has his section party. Initially before coming up here, I was always excited about the parties here. But since yesterday, I am a little afraid and tensed too. Want to skip the party. I am too late here and don’t know anyone. By this time, people have already gotten into groups. Will I be able to adjust and get myself involved? There was a gypsy party of spouses last weekend. I heard it was good. And you know what, I had mailed the person that I won’t be able to join this party and later she mentioned my name in the mail. It was too cool on her part to remember me and mention the same.

Last evening, was hell-of a boring. I was tired and nothing to do. Didn’t even feel like watching the TV? But it’s okay. It’s just the initial few days, later on after I start cooking, I will have that work to be done too. I have planned to join the gym, let’s see how much I will be able to achieve. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Will post the party updates later.

My First Post

Hi All,
As u might know that I am a wife of an ISB'ian. I am planning to write my experience about being a spouse of a student.

Disclaimer: All the posts written on this blog are solely my perception. This is not an official site at all.

Ok. Here I go.

I would soon be joining my husband @ISB after a long wait of 6 months. Almost half way through his studies@ISB. The day he joined ISB, I was always fascinated by the thought of Life@ISB, however till now I didn't get a chance to actually experience the lifestyle because of my work. But now after a long wait I would be joining him there. The count down has already started. As everyone knows that Life@ISB, especially for the students if extremely hectic, hence this makes me question "Will he have time for me?” On the other side, I also feel "I hope I won't disturb him in his studies." Anyway from what I know till date, the SFA (Spouse .... Association) is very active there. Hence, I suppose I would be equally busy there. I am extremely excited and worried too.

Chalo rest later
