Vik's Engagement

It's Tuesday today, last tuesday I was driving back from what I can only say was the best engagement that I've ever been too.  Soo many epic memories...

Going to Calgary at this time was exciting, everyone in University knows that September is the best month to be in School. Lack of homework + summer cash + 20c weather = epic party time.  I knew I didn't want to back to any part of school after graduation (cause I wanna remember it as I last left it), but I did expect to see all my close friends, Dimitri, Camille, Scarlett, Jen, Spencer, the Arabs and obviously the wedding man, Vicky Saab.  In an interesting turn of events, although I let everyone know that I was town, I didn't actually have time to go see anyone. Mostly, cause Vik and his Dad (Anil Uncle) left me no choice. 

So arrival in Calgary at Vik's place, and Vritty(his younger sister) wants me to walk to this view spot with all the little kids....I didn't understand..I live in Kelowna and she was forcing to go check out Calgary 'view'..and then Uncle's got mad at me for not eating...and leaving with the kids...... like he thought I wanted to go. Anyways, met Sonu, very interesting character, never met someone who goes so far right and so far left in his political/ethical spectrum at the same time. Also that night, I met Suki, Arun & Sara.

Engagement Day - Saturday..
What a shit show of a day, early morning shopping trip, emergency visit to the Mexx for a immediate belt...wrote my roast while being driven back from Chinook..Picked up Jiju...despite Di having attachment issues and also showing up to the airport to pick him up... So back at Ashwin Uncle's house me and Sonu are chilling cause we didn't want to get dressed too early. Then we were too late getting ready cause we just waited way too long.  I forgot my hair varnish, the belt was too long, apparently my current hairstyle (Paul McCartney's 60's look) apparently qualified me to do everyone's hair. Jay was really cute that day, followed me everywhere I went...such an adorable kid..God bless him.


So at the engagement, I found that when uncle asked me to do a stupidji speech, he didn't mean a roast. He meant one about how great I thought Vik was. So less then 20 minutes before on the stage, I found out that I was the best man, the MC, and the coordinated with the family on their speeches. They were all nice and short, and my roast (the unedited version from what I wrote on my iphone is below) The night eventually rapped up, with myself, Brij, Raj, Sonu, Harshy, and Birji destroying the dance floor, and passing out...Dadji was historical with the Kusra...where you do even find a Indian tranny in Canada... wtf....



This for babi, before you get engaged there are five things you need to know Vicky and will need to accept as a part of along life commitment.
1. Vikcy will share half of everything with you to try and appreciate your love. There is one thing he won't share half with you, and no matter how much you ask for it.. That one thing is the bed... You'll have to sleep in one tiny corner, amd don't be suprised if you occasionally wake up on the floor.

2. Don't ever get to comfortable sleeping late, Vik has commited to god before all else and as such he wakes up at 6am for a early morning arti, and plays his favourtive instrument, the ganti in the mardir.

3. Always get in the shower before vivek. When in the showe vik likes to read and follow the directions om the Shampoo bottle preciously.  When the water turns off in the shower doesn't mean he is done. It means that he has now finished applying shampoo, and 5 minutes later the shower will turn on again, that means he is ready to rinse it off.

4. When driving, Vik has no middle ground , fast on the gas and hard on the brakes. What is worse is that he has convinced himself with no help of anybody else that he is the best driver in the world. What's important for you is that you never question him on his driving, or this arrangement will never work out and I'll be here giving the same speech 6 months from now.

5. Bhabi, I am sad too say this but you are not the first love of his life. He first love is the great video game known as Final Fantasy. Don't be suprised if after a néw realease, he is spending late nights with the playstation while probably on the phone with me.


= Vik, Bhabi, and Sam Post Toast





Sunday

Early morning Banff trip, too bad Brij and Raj had to leave and couldn't be part of it, it was great time. I also learned that people from England have trouble walking distances that are further than the garage.  Just kidding, but Sonu, and sister couldn't walk to save their lives. Johnston Canyon isn't that far away...like 2 km walk...Arun almost ran into the tree, bending it, and Suki found out why people take dogs on hikes.
Dinner in Banff at the earls, idiot waiter, and cause Viky didn't wanna take Gitu, me and Sonu never got a chance to check out the sunday night in Banff. Things didn't die down in Calgary, we had enough gas to make it, Vicky passed out, and me and Sonu hit up the night life.....so thought about the strip club and the casino and thank God we went to the strip club first, or my $160 in winnings would've been spent on lap dances...Also Sonu...what a saint ..doesn't even gamble a dime..amazing...

Monday/Tuesday

Some shopping, some napping, Bhabi made some amazing Shahi Paneer...although we had no room for it...fell asleep in a movie about daddy issues and then followed it with another movie...RACE...and early morning trek back to Kelowna on Tuesday..then straight to Penticton..Tayaji had some knee surgery that he is recovering from.
