Hellooo my friends! Its good to back after 1 year☺☺
Wishing everyone a very Happy New year!!
Hope 2018 was fantastic. And wishing everyone a year filled with love and happiness!
There wasn’t any particular reason for not writing one whole year. Just that something always came up and I procrastinated blogging.
New Year’s Eve I didn’t really party. Just ordered dinner. Which came very late. But it made me very happy.
Coz we’re not the only ones staying at home and ordering in! 😊
Sooooo last year was interesting. In weird ways.
I’ve received some marriage proposals.😁😁
From complete strangers. At random places.
But not from any guy!
Rather from their mothers, fathers and sisters.
I was a restaurant with my parents and suddenly a couple from the next table started talking to us and revealed they were looking for a bride for their son.
*Awkward*
My dad told them we’re not thinking about marriage now, its too early.
And we smiled. They smiled. And everyone went back to eating.
Surprisingly similar encounters also happened at a fair, Cafe and another restaurant.
Apparently it’s not that uncommon. This is India, land of arranged marriage. Strangers things have happened.
But getting marriage proposals is very flattering indeed lol😛
Its been a little over an year since I finished college.
And from writing exam papers, to receiving marriage proposals, we’ve come a long way my friends!
And the blog has been a witness to that.
Currently I’m just enjoying the view from my office!
Yep I got my own office!!
It’s a beautiful place! I love it! Its amazing ❤❤
The office is also in a great neighborhood.
I went to office even on Christmas and New Year’s eve. No complains!
But I did get some fun stuff done for Christmas.
Christmas nails! Not real nails though. These are false stick on nails. Saves money from those looong expensive manicures.
And Hello! Its been 1 whole year. I look different I guess. Matured maybe? Eyebrows still messed up. 😂😂
I just wanna look like a top notch entrepreneur. Who’s gonna steal the deal under you nose! Haha😁
I recently noticed my school juniors have also started looking like models. And I still dress the same since 8th grade.
So I’m trying to up my dressing game. Its very subtle. But we’re getting there.😜😜
I bought stilletoes! Highh heels. I feel love just looking at them.
And sometimes I even wear them to my office!
Its the most convenient place actually, coz you don’t have to walk around much.
Its kinda sad that I don’t even take much pictures nowadays. Procratination is the word.
But I plan to be more social this year onwards! Full on.
Whatever little social I was, I forgot that also this year.
Everytime I went to do something fun, I remembered the 100 things still left to do.
I had joined zumba classes. But left that as well.
But this year I’ll be more fun. Its a resolution. And I plan to stick to it!
Glad to have the ‘introduction post’ done! I really wanna post about other stuff now. See you all in my next post folks!

Bye bye,
Mithai
Oh. My. Gosh. You’re back! It’s wonderful to hear from you, Mithai! I’m glad that you seem to enjoy your job, that’s very fortunate! As for the marriage proposals, it’d take me a long time to get used to seeing random marriage proposals in public! I think that arranged marriages would be one of the aspects of Indian culture that’d be hardest for me to adjust to – not because they’re necessarily ‘bad,’ but because that’s so different to how marriage happens in the U.S.

Heyy Josh! I can’t begin to tell you how glad I’m to be talking to you! Yes I’m back. And for real. Too many posts lined up!
Yes it was definitely weird to get the proposals from complete strangers. No way I’m getting married like that! We don’t even know what kinda people they are.
Not all arranged marriages happen like that though.
Usually couple of boys or girls are ‘shortlisted’ and then its a speed dating kinda thing and in the end if any ‘couple’ ends up liking eachother they get married.
Else it starts from beginning with new people.
Something like that…….. infact I myself don’t know what or how exactly it happens.
And not interested to know either.😂😂
Well what’s up with you?? Its been 1 whole year gosh!

Yea, I’d be super uncomfortable marrying someone I didn’t know VERY well, as I’d hate to be one of those couples that gets divorced after seven years or less. Although I imagine divorce rates are different in India as well? I’ll have to google that…
Oh man, how to explain how I’ve been for the past year…I’ll have to get back to you on that! You can get some idea from looking at my blog, but since I don’t usually write about myself, I’m afraid that won’t provide you with much information. In short, I’ve had a very busy and stressful year: lots of hard work on big projects that may or may not pay off in the future. We shall see…

Yes it’s bound to be uncomfortable. Its definitely not the way to get married. Divorce rates are low in India but its changing.

Happy New Year Mithai 🙂 It is nice to see you back here. I have been very slack in the last part of 2018 with my writing… it’s not that I don’t want to write, I just can’t seem to get the words onto paper the way I want them 😦 Still Instagram (@beardovski) is keeping me occupied with social media, where I try to post a pic every day or so.
I am not surprised that you have had marriage proposals – you are a qualified software engineer with your own office, a pair of heels, amazing eyes and gentle (it seems to me) approach to the world. I am sure the perfect person will be along when you are ready.
Look forward to reading you posts and wish me luck with getting my writing mojo back 🙂 I am off to a writers group this Thursday, seeking motivation. Take it easy Mithai.

Hello Andy! I’m truly honored with your kind words, thank you so much😊😊
Instagram also has been my only social media place for last 1 year. That also scarcely.
So I hugely appreciate that you uploaded such beautiful pictures on IG very frequently. Its all about what refreshes you and makes you happy.
I’ve around 5-6 drafts saved on WordPress written throughout the year but didn’t get the mojo to publish.
I feel to make a ‘comeback’ you just need to suddenly think of something, write in 10 minutes and publish!
And instantly all other future posts fall in place.
Moreover your mojo in writing will soon come back, when its satisfied with your photography! And you’ll see that you’ve reached a personal high in your already amazing photography skills!
And I’m glad that you’re going to a writer’s group and will get to make new friends. Your mojo is acting in great ways.
And you have all my best wishes with you!😊😊

Hi Mithai! It has been a long time. I’ve been doing well. Yes, I bailed on my Instagram and Facebook. I only have WordPress now. It was just too hard for me to keep up. Yes indeed!

We also plan to take her to a fancy restaurant and feed her cause that poor girl doesn’t have enough bootie to hold up her Gym Shark leggings.
