So like 6 months back I was desperately lookin for a place to live. I was so desperate at that point that I would hav agreed to live under sum1's staircase If I had to...I was goin to see apartments like everyday and cos I was jobless alota people were kinda rejecting me, I guess they must be thinkin wud she be able to pay the rent. So anyways I was on the verge of givin up when I got this call from this female who was leavin her apartment and was lookin for a replacement. I was soo desperate I went to see her place the next day itself at like 7 am in the morning. The place was a lot better than the last apartment I had seen which by the way was a weird room with a red rug and ya not to mention the bathroom and the kitchen of that place were on a different floor all together. I immediately agreed and I din't even bother to ask about the people I'd be livin with cos at that point of time that din't really matter. And then I moved inn...and by gods grace met these two awesome roomates who have literally been the most supportive people I have ever met. I think we just hit it off rite at the start. I had been livin alone the last couple of months and I was dyin to talk to sum1 and they were glad to hav sum1 to provide background music to every situation (cos I literally do have a song for every situation). When I moved into the apartment I am not kidding but my two bags of clothes was all I had oh yaa and two chairs which I found in the trash (don't judge me ok desperate times call for desperate measures)- no utensils, no bed, no pillows, no nuthin basically...
And these guys literally gave me everythin from the sleeping bag I use today to the hangers I use to hang my clothes, the bedsheet that I sleep on to the plates I use to eat. And they din't even know me. My birthday was about a month after I moved in and these guys actually threw me a surprise bday party (the one where the cops showed up if I mite add)-honestly wasn't expectin it cos I barely knew them. People I have known my entire life havn't even given me a surprise bday party. We still have the decorations on our walls, I din't allow them to remove any ;-P Oh god and I have to mention my aweful cooking skills which hav goten tolerable over the last couple of months thanks to them- So I am a sardarni who cooks roties like a gujju and sabzies like a Maharashtrian. When u live in the same house u r bound to have arguments and wat not but I am always going to be grateful to them cos they took me in when I had nuthin and they supported me thru the whole being jobless and frustrated phase.....and man we have made sum memories over the last couple of months. From doin our own version of a pest control in our bug infested apartment to fighting with the landlord for our deposit we have done it all. Every month we go to this town like two stations away to get our groceries with a shopping cart and then the way back is where all the energy we gain from the food we ate the month b4 is utilised when we have to drag that deadly food cart exploding with vegetables and wat not back home, I remember this one one time the cart's wheel got stuk and it fell and well I fell on top it, it was soo freakin hilarious. Then there was this time when we ran out of atta and ate rice for like 2 weeks every single day b4 we ran out of that as well and started eatin maida & besan roties. This finally got to me and I went to the grocery store and dragged a 20 lb bag of atta on my own (yes it was a big achievement and also the reason why I have super strong arms now). Oh yes and how can I forget the New Year at Time Square where we went to see the ball drop only when we reached there, there was no sign of any god damn ball, we were freezin our asses off but we did manage to catch a bunch of Iskon Temple disciples singing "Hare Krishna" needless to mention we joined them and thats how we celebrated New Year 2010...lol! And how can I forget the night I corrupted them all, so my roommates are the most sudhra hua bunch of people u'll ever meet and I decided that I'll have to be the one to introduce them to alcohol. So we got these small bottles of vodka and decided to get a lil drunk. Me being the pro gave the bachha party sum and said it was enuf for them. They weren't gonna take that and b4 we knew it the vodka was over and they felt they weren't gettin that drunk feelin so at 2 pm in the night these two girls decided to go to the Liquor store (which was like two house away from our old house) and get tequila shots ....they'd seen people have those in movies, kids I tell u....lol! Soo as soon as they got home they started feelin drunk cos well vodka take time to hit and all of us started cryin for sum weird reason. And this one roomate of ours who din't even drink at all actually started cryin as well.....LOL! I guess she was feelin left out;-P We all got up with the worse hangover ever and we still have that box of Vodka they got that night, we havn't been able to finish it yet even after 5 months....these are sum awesome memories with sum awesome people which I hope will last me a lifetime:)
