Exhausted….with a capital E :)
Setting up home and hearth in a new city….always a fun, if slightly back breaking job :)…..been up since 6, opened up some 15 cartons of assorted household stuff ( I was living in a 1BHK prior to this, and it astonishes me no end how much stuff I managed to accumulate there!)…..sort of assigned stuff to its proper place….set up my clothes almirah….got the kitchen almost up and running….cleaned the bathrooms top to bottom….and, wonder of wonders, actually cleaned the fridge in every possible nook and corner….!!!!....after 3 years of having used it I think :))….

Feeling very pleased with myself, and very much an accomplished woman ;))….now I think I can take a break for the next 3 years ;))…

And battled a few battles with the bureaucracy of maids, kachrawalis, cable wallahs, electricians and sundry….here specially, it seems they have their own unique language which no one from outside can even presume to understand….”ho jayega” means “nahin hoga, at least jab tak aap haath jod ke 50 follow ups na karo”, “bas 5 minute men aate hain madam” stands for “2 ghante ke pehle bhool jao”, and if someone says “aap bilkul chinta mat karo madam”, my BP shoots up by a few tens :)….

Grinning and bearing it I guess….its a fascinating insight into a mindset I’ve never been exposed to before….and whatever doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger ;)….
