I have been dreaming of bringing my fiancee to CA for quite sometime now. Out of the blue, her work permit gets approved on 30'th Aug 2006... Needless to say, i am all excited, charged up and what not!
Here comes the Twist - the work permit will have to wait, her current project needs her more than me. She is keen to give a neat closure to things in her hand before moving on, and that makes sense in way too (just not for me :-)). While i deal with this thing, here comes one more - her employer needs more time to get her to work in California. (Read, MM isn't all that lucky as he wanted to be :-))
Now the Turn part, being the logical guy that i always try to be, working towards a solution, i see my choices are limited here... If my fiancee can't make it to where i am, i can try to make it to where she is. So, comes up the plan for another India trip! This trip will mark the Big Day of my life that i was always scared of till sometime back (till i fell for my fiancee)...
To proceed forward with this plan , I need to get my vacation hours sorted out with my employer, see if my parents can find an auspicious day, see if my fiancee can manage to take some days off, and see to it that the timing of my vacation doesn't fall into the window where my client can conveniently chuck me off!!!
After lots of dilly-dally'ing with when the D day shud be with parents, in-laws, fiancee, we finally settle down for an end of week Nov day... right when i started thinking that a logical solution has been arrived at, here comes the next road breaker -> the day we thot and finalized as an auspicious day, happens to be an auspicious day for more number of people than the total number of Mandapams can accommodate in the town where my parents live!!! Never did i imagine that i wud get struck with something like this... Parents, in-laws and all the rest of our well wishers don't see any hope for the D day, unless the date or the day or some other constraint is altered!!!
