Moving day.....
Mixed feelings of happiness and sadness......happy to go into a single bedroom appt. all alone n independant.....and sad to not live with rajjo
nickleeson anymore...we have been room mate since my first day in US.....which was 6 years ago.....he is the best room mate i have ever had.....never had n e arguments or adjustment problems with him whatsoever....(well except who will take shabbo today :) )
Feels sad to move away from him....but well he is moving in the same appartment complex as i am so i will be seeing him often......Still it feels a little sad...i hope yall know what i mean.....This blog is dedicated to the great times me n rajjo have had in these 6 years......I am sharing some of them with you......
*** My first meeting with rajjo was at 1225 at a seniors house when i came the first day to US....there were around 25 people sitting there and rajjo came n asked everyone if they would have tea and all said yes....and he made tea for 25 people in a pressure cooker......
*** First year....me n him used to live in a double bedroom appt. # 324 in waterview along with 2 females and a million roaches.....and all of our other friends used to live in appt. 2115 which was in second phase and was a 5 minute walk which included crossing a small bridge.....me n rajjo used to go to our friends appt. every evening....now there was a girl for whom rajjo had a crush FOR 12 HOURS...her name was Soumya (ironically she later got married to a guy named rajiv).....so well to reach 2115 we could get a glimpse of her window....and hence while walking to 2115 from 324 me n rajjo used to hum the song " Ghar se nikalte hi kuch door chalte hi..." for soumya.....and it was a daily practice.....:)
*** First year.....when we started cooking....i was the biryani king (just knew how to make biryani) and he used to make good food...but the problem was that he was from MP (madhya pradesh) and wudnt eat food unless it was red in color (full of chillies) and i wudnt eat food unless it was sweeet (coming from Gujarat) but slowly n gradually he made turned me into a chilli eating monster and today i can eat spicier food than him........:)
*** Then came the time we went on our first camping trip me rajjo and 6-8 other friends....to lake ozark, Missouri......we had a blast....other than a friend almost drowning the trip was really fun....
*** There was a girl living in the opposite appartment......and we had neighbouring patios...(just neighbouring not connected)...and she had a habit of spending a lot of time in the patio.....hehehe....n hence me n rajjo used to sit in the patio with tea and I would sing songs to just try n flirt with the girls who wud come in the patio as soon as they heard my song.......so one day we were celebrating on of our friends bday in our appartment.....rajjo went and invited those girls down for the party just to tease me.....well today i think both of them r married n probably pregnant....:)
*** As all good things come to an end....me n rajjo cud not live with the other two females.....no offense meant but it is difficult to tolerate women roompartners unless u r sleeping with them :) (MY PERSONAL OPINION) so we moved to # 1534 with two other guy room mates......
*** Second year....i would have a crush on every other female i came across ( just polishing my flirting skills which rajjo thot was hillarious)....well so there was this one girl (wont give her name....:) lets call her the halfboiledmoon) and she would come to our appt. (cause by now we were seniors and were the operating heads of ISA i.e. Indian Student Association of UTdallas........). So i used to have a crush on her too !!! (now she is married and probably is pregnant)...So anyways whenever she used to come to our appt. rajjo would play the song " Gali me aaj chaand nikla..." to tease me......and Moon thought that rajjo has a crush on her and she stopped coming to our appt....hahahaha...it was hilarious.....
*** We have had awesome times in #1534....we had raw nights where we used to drink beer n get down to the lowest possible discussion about girls.....( guyz u know what i mean)......and would spend all nights chatting and drinking......every friday by default we all were drunk at 2114 and singing and dancing.............
*** Then came another character into picture....Saket...kyabey...He was rajjo's college mate in India....He also was a all time party animal by night n a total geek by day........hehehe.....we had fun times together.....Shabbo came into our lives because of him.....
*** We lived in 1534 for 4 years n then moved to a house in plano........and lived there for 2 years.......
*** Rajjo has a terrible habit of forgetting things....he will keep his glasses somewhere n forget it....lose keys.....keep money somewhere n forget it.......so i always tease him that he should come to my house with his wife someday.....(and knowing him he wud forget his wife too !!!)
These are just a few of the millions of memories that i have shared with rajjo.........people have come n gone in our appartment n house.......at one point of time there were 10 people staying in the 2 bedroom appt. at waterview.....but me n rajjo have never had n e problems.....i think that mainly it is because we both have lived in hostels in undergrad in india....n the attitude to adjust n be unperturbed by anything or anybody around you is what you learn living in a hostel......
Anyways i am feeling really sentimental right now...........so i wud end by saying " JAI SHABBO"
