That's my plan :P

She is learning cooking also very well. Her idea is to make me happy by making good food :P

My idea is to make her busy all the time. Whenever she sits idle, she will start thinking to go back to India.

She has already warned me that after her coming here, less VJing :star:

Sometimes, I will be typing in VJ during her phone calls and will give less priority to her due to more concentration here. Then she'll yell me that you are not listening to me, then OK, I'll call you later :star:

Yes she does. In fact she is a chatter box and speaks better than me :star:
