Introducing the newly weds - Lopa & Sumit



Contrary to popular belief, I am relieved after my wedding. It has erased so many uncertainties in my life. And the best part - there is a certain "feel good" factor that has been imbibed to my overall attitude towards life. Life seems more perky, adventurous, wonderful, and happening.

This does not mean there is a dearth of the "never-ending" shopping lists - for the house (nay, the home); for the people visiting us; and ofcourse - for her highness - my beautiful wife, Lopa. Apart from the regular chores of a household, suddenly there is a lot more social camaraderie to be shown - and my huge list of "known people in the planet" seems to have doubled. I have to admit Lopa is more shocked than I am about the sudden increase in acquaintances - she can't be labelled wrong if she starts believing I might have been a postman at every post office in the country at some point in time.

Time has zipped by since our wedding - we married on the 2nd of December 2007. We are back after a hiatus of more than a month or so. In between we have managed trips to multiple locations in Orissa; visited different localities in Kerala to claim having better knowledge than local tourist guides; and visited all possible shopping destinations in Bangalore which sell curtains, bed sheets, pillow covers, and the like! However, things haven't changed in the workfront for me - except the location of my office. I have moved to the Electronic City office premises, and I still get paid with no hint what-so-ever of possible work. And surprise-surprise, Lopa has managed to get a project allocation within a fortnight of her transfer from Bhubaneswar to Bangalore!

Till I write more - take care and have a nice time.
