postponed

haloo good people.
ur all good because despite my irregular blogging, you keep coming back!
Love you for that!
khiar, there’s been a change in plans. I had a trip to India all planned out for June. but that’s been postponed now. The visa took too long, and now Kay and V cant get their internships extended. So there’s no point in going on such a rushed trip, bear the hot humid weather, and possibly the rains...when we can go in Jan and have a great time, with nice pleasant weather and more time! Because at this point kay could only spare two weeks...we'd planned for longer.
we've got lots of sympathetic people saying they could have gotten us the visa in shorter time...we ourselves could have done the same...what with enough contacts between the three of us...but we'd initiated the plan through a teacher, who also travels to India frequently on work purposes. So courtesy required us to let him handle the process.
*sigh!*
lol...khair, the more I think about it, the better January sounds now.
I do hate hot humid weather.
Now all im praying is that nothing comes up this winter.
Winters in Pakistan, or possibly in desi society always connote wedding/engagement seasons.
Someone always ends up getting engaged in winter. Even if you didn’t see it coming, it happens.
you could be happily single, and the next thing you know u or a close friend are getting engaged in winter, or possibly being rushed into a beautiful winter wedding!
Its great weather, everyone’s back from vacations, and the next winter is a year away, so people usually rush into things, just to make it.
And somehow, God, I think, also likes winters.
He convinces’ couples to get engaged...or parents to get their kids engaged or married…right when winter is around the corner. So by the time everything’s ready…its winter.
So I’m taking this delay as God’s will. I believe everything happens for a reason, and some good will come out of it.
I suppose we were being stubborn by going, despite all the delays and issues…and putting it off till Jan sounds better the more I think about it.
So I suppose its back to documenting old trip…Inshallah till January…hopefully kay and I will remain unengaged or married till then .lol.
