Victor Cherian

Yesterday - I got a card from India and was told - bhabhi all you have to do is go to an ATM and withdraw the money. The pin is 9505. How difficult can it be? I tried 6 times - all accounts - savings, checking and credit card. The last try - the machine beep loudly. My 1st thought was - I am going to jail today. Where's Victor - is he in town? I walked out as fast as my legs could carry me!

Screamed at bhai over a 10 mins long distance call for nearly giving me a heart attack and threw the card in the bin! Its a card from India - how can it work in Sin? What were you thinking shalini?! Dufus!

Then sheens came to Suntec for a visit. We had chocolate frappucino at startbucks with a low fat mango cheesecake. I really doubt its low fat though! Rohini takes her back in the evening after work. See Rohini stays near cck and so she gets the honor of taking sheens home whether she likes it or not. But seriously - thank you Rohini. Both mother and daughter appreciate the gesture and bless you everytime you do it. I am always excited about sheens coming. I cant seems to stop touching her or smiling like an idiot everytime she comes. Its her birthday this friday and I have not got her a gift yet! She will be 17 - what would she like?

The day did not end there. Went home and guess who calls - Victor. Why he called i have no idea cause i said hello and said there's food (allu ghobi and dhal) and asked him to come over. I presumed he called for food. Did he or did he not? He says he got work and he passes. And I still didn't get why he called?

But guess what - he came over! He only came for 3 reasons
- parkway parade was all closed hence no food
- cause Sunil was home for food
- and lastly i like to believe cause I sounded a bit off on the phone and he came to check on me?! He cares a little bit about me???

He uugathan-ed (christened) the dining table! He had dhal all over the tablecloth and the table. I had 12 people on Sat and the tablecloth was spotless. It takes one Victor to stain it. Aiyo! But he made up for it. He said - your kitchen really looks nice after the renovation. It was way better than his earlier comments when he came to check the kitchen after his HK trip and YES i still believe he was in a hungover stupor.

OR Maybe he stained the tablecloth as he's taking revenge for what we did to him during holi? hmmm - But Victor - we (me, kids, the gang) all love you and we can't imagine life without you. You the 1st person we all run to and your opinion and thoughts counts. May god bless you always with tons of happiness (which is relative in every individual's perspective anyways) but thats a sincere prayer from all of us.
