The pleasantness of the weather..
The first-handfull-and-more of shopping after being "just married". & all grocery kind of stuff.
Those efficient maids who needed no instructions and any effort to give one was futile due to language problem.
The red, purple, white, yellow blooms around the house in abundance.
Going to that pond/lake at 1 in the night after movie coz of some memories attached to it.
Tubs full of corner house iceream.
The morning walks from our Jayanagar home to this botanical garden "Lal baug" which has 4 gates & me trying to figure which one is where.
The post walk MTR brkfast & many more breakfast buffets.
Loosing my cell in PVR and finding it back too when we came back searching for it in a while.
The songs n guitar night on Buaji-fufaji's anniversary.
Amit's night shift at office and day shift doing enything but sleeping simply to spend more time with his wife. Only to be sleepy eyed later n cribbing that his she has no heart to be considerate.
The impromptu drives to places like nandi hills, the big banyan tree & even mysore n the likes.
Bangalore rains. Drenched, shivering, chattering teeth and still biking. And the strong coffee after that, at home.
Lavanya aunty, Nathalia, all those ppl I befriended thru Amit and have memories of the nice time had with them, eating and hanging out together..
The more I think, the more I want to visit there again. So here I stop for now :)
Those 3 months were the first time I went away from my family and those were also the beginning of whole new chapter of shaadi n all that jazz. I wouldn't hv liked it any other way I guess. "The guy working in bangalore" must have been one major reason I didnt think twice before taking the plunge. I am sure.
(These are pictures of shells collected in mangalore - one of the most memorable vacations that we had and one of those random rides just before leaving bangalore city.)

O'yes those nail beautifying stuff,, we used some part of rose petals to do the same during school days.. crazy indeed.. but fun again. do the kids of today do such crazy things too? tell me pls.. i doubt.
