Abeer Appropriates

. this week has been full of surprises and awesome advances! i couldnt have asked for a better week.

. so first things first. this whole week everyone's been, Aww Abeer dont leave. Then they're like, Who's gonna give us our daily dose of crazy once you leave? Or some variation of that. this one colleague of mine was like, 'Abeer, we're really going to miss you. Really. No one is going to entertain us now, and we wont have anyone to laugh at '.

. Shruti got me an autorickshaw mug as a going away present and Friday afternoon i was treated to a lovely lunch by Ms Menezes and Ms Maddur. the Focus team may have the worst job, but they're definitely the most warm and awesome bunch of people. i specially liked how Sumiit had an issue with the flowers i took to work for SvatsUp and Danny. save Danny, Svati and Sumiit are both interns in the Focus department and two very lovely people. Sumiit's also an actor yknow. Anyway, so he was all upset about not having his name written on the note id written for the other 2 and was all merajuk about it. tough luck. 

. i brought my parents to work. i showed them the entire place, and how news is made, how things go on air, what goes in and whatnot. unfortunately i couldnt introduce them to all the people i work with, but Shruti was there, and gushed quite abit about me. which meant that after coming back home, Amma was telling alot of people that you know, her boss was complimenting her so much and was saying so many nice things about her. while in the newsroom, i showed my parents the works right? so there was also a library i showed them. i explained what happens in the library, what the purpose is and whatnot. mama goes right in, talks to the library dude, comes back out and says, yknow, i had to tell them that i too, am a qualified librarian. just incase they need to hire mother media for some reason.

. my writing style is very obvious. when the show went on air this week, my parents were watching it. when i came back home, they told me they knew i'd written the captions because it was very obvious that only i would use the word 'desi' in a caption. caption in question was 'truly desi ankit says pool is cricket on a table'. 

. i got accepted into honours with a scholarship.

. i shot my first PTC, which got approved. this sentence wont make much sense until i show you what a PTC is. 

. i sent my sari for stitching!

. i went to kala ghoda at the start of the week and bought an autorickshaw bag + made a tiny little pot all by myself.

. i met rajdeep sardesai and was introduced to him. i even have 2 pictures with him. 

. i have heard, over this past week, many a time that i write well and that i have the capacity of writing funny scripts. its such a joy to hear that people actually like what i write.

. so MANY people have complimented the PTC i did, its overwhelming. all lovely lovely comments that i shant forget anytime soon! thank you!

. i went through the pain of threading for absolutely no reason at all. blergh.

. monday is my last day at work. i have been asked to write a script for the following week's episode. this means i woulda worked on 7 episodes. 

. i am graduating on the 9th of march, but am still without a dress!
