I think every girl dreams a wedding, growing up.
I have a wedding planned in the back of my head, I mentally list down things I find eligible for my future wedding and I have been saying wedding a lot.
It is because of the Royals who just got married past Saturday and I can't stop obsessing over the videos, the memes, the picture perfect couple.
Though there's no such chance of me getting wed, At least not for a year and half, but I really do am fancying a wedding!

That guy my mom's told me about, who's mother is my mother's friend, (who I stalked on social media for couple of days) and who might have a chance of meeting me in person in future. That's what my mom tells me. But never have I thought, in actual terms, that he would find his way back to me! When I, out of sheer curiosity sent him a follow request on instagram with showing my first name only, I wasn't sure if he knew me, or if he has by any chance, stalked my profile. I was happy when he accepted it and then followed me for a mere 30 seconds and unfollowed me. I was so upset that he would do such thing like that, Even I haven't been ever rude to strangers on my profile like that. So that day, I sworn myself I will never stalk him again, so I unfollowed back and blocked him and made up my mind that I am never gonna consider marrying this guy, ever.
Guess what? My mother seem to have a quite liking on him and may even consider setting me up! He is in USA by the way, completing his masters I guess, so there's some time in my hand. Also he is not going to see just "one" girl obviously but I know by my mom's countless "battering" I am in the line and I feel quite anxious about it. Why do women in our society have to go through such pressure like this?

Obviously when I stalked his profile, from his pictures I liked him from the start. But that instagram incident made me feel like an idiot and with the tiniest dignity left in me, I don't think I will be able to meet him in person. What if he recognizes me?

As you can see, I am very obsessed about weddings right now but so very little interested in meeting strangers my mom pick for me. I am on my period now, so I am having a rage of emotions at the current moment. Apparently, weddings and babies are sensitive subjects for me. And guess what, today, I saw Music Guy and like other days I could not ignore him because he was right there and my friends were talking with him so I felt obliged to participate but ended up only asking about his niece. It got me thinking, am I not over him yet? Why do I still feel awkward and cannot stare directly at his eyes and feel utter sadness wash over me when he ignores me? I think this is the period talking again.

He just brings all the desperate memories of me and I absolutely hate that. I am not that person anymore. I don't crave his compliments/ attention because these days, I am happy and I glow and I get enough of the compliments/attention from people I actually care about. i.e. My friends. I feel appreciated and loved every day and I cannot be grateful enough. He is just the worst phase that I had and I hope to pass it behind me.

So let's revert back. I really fancy a big fat wedding including mehendi/sangeet program though I am allergic to henna, I want to dress in red and wear tiara tikli and just bride up!

I sometimes wonder if I'd ever get my dreams materialized in future because life is so short!

opposite sides of a coin

Hi B,  I've been sort of busy with the training for the job and have another interview coming tomorrow. I am torn between staying with the current job and switching or keeping both as part times. I don't know, I guess I will have a decision made if the interview goes well. I have been traveling far for the current one and every time I get on the bus or the the train I feel depression kicking in full force. Suddenly I remember home, the comfort of being around my loved ones, the easy life I once had back in Bangladesh. Certainly, there are things that weren't easy but I guess it felt easy because I was more used to it. Transport was rickshaw and didn't even think twice before booking an uber because I always had some money with me. Now I have literally 200 dollars to go by and I have to think twice to even buy a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. I guess with time, I will be able to save up some money. I am glad at least I got to start working. It is still very overwhelm...

world war?

 Dear B,  I don't watch the news but there has been a lot of speculations on social media of a possible world war III. My sister just texted me that I should save up money as we don't know what that might do to the economy. It is ironic because I just ordered something online last night. Every time I go out, I spend. I don't even have a good paying job and I spend like I have full time. However, one thing I learned from my past is that there is no point in stressing about the future. What I have control over is now. I can either live in the moment or ruin it by ruminating and what good will it bring to my life? Living alone can get boring. However, I am trying to find things to do. Maybe I will visit a bookstore today. Lets see.  I have rearranged the furnitures yesterday. Cleaned as well. The place looks good.  Maybe I will go IKEA. I love it there. Even though I can't afford furnitures, I just enjoy looking at them. Oh what to tell you B. My in-laws are coming this...

"Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.”

“If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life." "I look exactly the same." "No, you don't. You're changing all the time. Every day a tiny bit. If I could, I'd keep a record of it all." "If you're so smart, how did I change today?" "You got a fraction of a millimeter taller, for one thing. Your hair grew a fraction of a millimeter longer. And your breasts grew a fraction of a—" "They did not!" "Yes, they did." "Did NOT." "Did too." "What else, you big pig?" "You got a little happier and also a little sadder." "Meaning they cancel out each other, leaving me exactly the same." "Not at all. The fact that you got a little happier today doesn't change the fact that you also become a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which me...
