Well, as usual there are 16 hour blackouts, political corruption, piles of garbage waiting to be picked up(still haven't resolved that issue yet), bandhas, chakka jams, dangerous animals roaming the streets(and that's just the ®NA/police)...

However..............

GOVI GOT THE VISA!!!

He just called me now - I actually was able to sleep a little and had my mobile next to my face in case the Embassy called. He said they took his passport and will be called to pick up the visa in 2 days. He said it was a male CO, very nice, asked about how we met, my name(name change), looked at all of our photos and was impressed how organized everything was (that's what you get for marrying a librarian) :blush: I will ask more questions but it doesn't seem like any of our red flags were a big issue. Govi said see we were so worried but Ganesh helped us!!! :thumbs:

He was deliriously happy and I wish I was there right now!!!!

YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT YOU CAN RUIN THE PRESENT BY WORRYING OVER THE FUTURE

TRIP.... OVER LOVE, AND YOU CAN GET UP

FALL.... IN LOVE, AND YOU FALL FOREVER

I DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, JUST NOT THE ABILITY

LIKE THE MEASLES, LOVE IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES LATER IN LIFE

LIFE IS NOT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE, ITS THE WAY IT IS

I MAY NOT BE WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT IM SURE NOT WHERE I WAS

OMG, Pattu......Im sooooo happy for you!! You have had a long journey and it couldn't happen to a nicer couple. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
