Rose Tinted Glasses

Today is my uncle's engagement. Small family affair (thank god; I'm not a big fan of huge gatherings where relatives you've never met before ask you amazingly personal questions with straight faces) at his fiancee's place.

The way they met is pretty cool. And a tad filmy. My uncle has been learning salsa for about 3 years now. His fiancee joined the same place some months back, and as they say, the rest was history.(For the record, I learnt salsa at the same place for a couple of months, and I didn't get to meet any cute guys, except for one of the instructors who was already engaged to another instructor. And I think they're married now. And all this is irrelevant so I'm going to stop.)

Aah, i can totally see it. They dance with each other, and fall in love in the process.....

Which reminds me, do check out the video I'm putting up. It's a song called Suzanne by Leonard Cohen, and it's a beautiful song. Very mushy, but beautiful nonetheless. And wonderfully romantic. Evidently, I'm in a very violins-in-the-background-blue-skies-birds-chirping kind of a mood right now.

And this isn't exactly the best time for that, seeing how the godforsaken exams are practically here. And also for various other reasons.

Had a funny dream last night. Which has made me realize something, and that something has messed me up in my head. First time a dream has worried me. I need help.

And what salsa place was this? Salsa India company? I have been there...But the cutest people were the instructors only. But no regrets, I could concentrate on learning!

@ varenya - i used to go to a place called SIDC(salsa india dance company). is that what you're talking about? and well, all the female instructors were hot, but only one male instructor was hot.

@ mr j - yes you can! no more blogging!

Aw. I thought I could get a nice girl if I join dancing class. But, eh, I am lazy.

And, I am trying to plough through the book. {It's bad when the initial stages of the book are invigorating, and then it is college college college... and then you have an addiction
and this irresistable urge to go up to the terrace and starwatch...
I am still trying to understand what the protagonist's sophomore year has to do with the plot...

Oh. Well...
Thanks for visiting my blog!!
