Way Home...It was so good to see her again. We talked about how the flights were but I was just looking at her. My brain was on auto-pilot, I was giving answers to her questions where as my eyes were on her.
Mom had given a colorful chunri for her, the rajasthani tie-n-dye one. I asked her to wear that one and she did, she looked prettier. MashaAllah.
We were waiting for her cousin who was supposed to be there to receive us and take us home. After a couple of phone calls and half an hour of wait, she saw him coming. We were off to her khala's place. I loved the view from the car. Karachi looked like Bombay, but a bit cleaner :-p
It was a royal welcome at home, I took shower and food was served. Home made food after 3 months was divine. Immediately after lunch, I had to go to the Chundrigar Road Office for registeration, we were supposed to go shopping for my Shaadi clothes. I waited for 3 hours outside the office but still was not able to do the registeration for some odd reason. They dont allow the guest inside the office, so guests sits outside beneath a tree in heat, dust and pollution where as the person whose address I had given on the visa form, has to go in to get the registeration done.
It was already late evening when I came back home, we immediately went out for shopping, unfortunately was not able to see anything interesting... everyone said, that I will have to give them measurements and they will make one for me *halo*
I was more interested in food tought, ate Chicken Cheese rolls at Roll Inn, then Boat Basin par stuff and then some gol guppay, etc etc.
