Now i know why Di n Nee wished me - "Enjoy your experience" this morning!

Finally it's sinking in.. ! :-)

Yeah after a horribly sleepless night.. i "woke" up at 6.30 to get ready for the V-day today ! :P


my interview slot was 9.30 am... i reached the mumbai consulate by 8.15 am.

and was standing till 9.20 in the queue under scorching heat... :-(
(wat made me mad was a page 3 socialite - Divya Palat had also come for her interview but was allowed to stand for 1 hour in the shade at the entrance of the office.... grrrrrrrrrr x-( )

anyway... after doing all those formalities of security check n finger printing... i was awiting my number to be called out by ard 9.55 am

I was YAWNINGGG away to glory .. hehhee.. had to wait till 10.45 am for my number to be called out !

She: Oh no... wen you are entering US.. just mention correct visa type.. n then you can talk to the immigration officer for further doubts...
