It’s been a while since my last post, and as I write this, I’m reminding myself to put the laundry in the dryer. This mundane task seems trivial compared to the whirlwind of emotions I’ve been experiencing.

There’s a special someone in my life who never ceases to amaze me. Perhaps saying I’m “obsessed” might be a tad too strong, but she undoubtedly occupies a significant place in my thoughts.

I have some updates to share. I know, I know, why all these back-to-back posts? Well, it’s been a rollercoaster of ups and downs these last few days. Just as I was recovering from the sadness and contemplation induced by watching the Humsafar drama, I received some unexpected news about a promotion.

Today, I received a surprising promotion at work. I hadn’t even applied for it! I’m unsure about who else on the team might have been promoted, but that’s not my main concern right now.

It happened again; my brother was promoted – something he had always wanted. He had tried twice before, and today, he finally succeeded. God knows I was nervous during both of those previous attempts; I wanted him to succeed so badly.

I recently purchased a Honda Rebel 300 for approximately $7.2k. Interestingly, my brother decided to contribute half the amount, which was a pleasant surprise. However, for some reason, I haven’t shared this news with my dad yet.

I have a confession to make - I have developed strong negative feelings towards my brother’s fiancée, or as we commonly refer to her, my soon-to-be sister-in-law (SIL). I feel like our Indian cultural norms have accelerated their relationship, making her presence almost equivalent to that of a SIL.

I will tell you all about my very pleasant trip to India in a later post. It is my last week here. Something that has been on my mind recently is that I am not happy about my brother getting married.

I am hyped about my upcoming travel to India. I am in my NYC hotel room currently, having just finished eating two whole bagels (the first time in my life that I have eaten two bagels in a single meal).

Way too many life events have happened since I last traveled for work (remember the Salt Lake City trip?). Here are the events that I can remember, in no particular order:
