The last 48 hours have been hectic…..... and how! From arguments with the “Internet Service Provider guys” for bad connections (yes, I had a panic-attack…. but dad got me WiFi at home…... just coz of the challenge!!!!)................ to packing….......... putting in over 18 hours finishing pending projects (and you thought we DJs had it easy!!)...... to pulling my hair out for deleting some AWESOME videos I took of friends wishing us for this challenge…................................  to rushing my doggie to the veterinarian for getting into a dog-fight and having his ear ripped apart…........................ being answerable to 4 siblings and 5 dogs as to why I didn’t have a blog up in so long…........................ and answering queries of friends and family who were concerned about this being a reality show and the judges publicly humiliating us (“This is not like ‘Roadies’, right…. where they will be blunt with you and embarrass you publicly?”)......................................  2 gigs I couldn’t get out of over the last 2 nights that went on till 5 in the morning!! (the perks of living in Goa)

 

So, I’ve officially had 2 and a half hours of sleep (a nap, really) in over 48 hours.. BUT THIS IS NO COMPLAIN!! I’m loving every bit of it!!!! And I can’t wait to meet the other 11 couples. It’s friendship day, ironically!!! Time to build those new bonds. Yes, I’m intimated by the other 11 couples! Dude…have you checked their blogs? Its creativity at it’s best!!! Now I can see why the judges had a tough time picking 9 couples!! And to add to it…they’re all so NICE…sending us wishes and “can’t wait to meet you” comments (well almost all of them…I can’t deny having read some blogs and realizing our team being subtly “mocked” at…but this is a competition right?, so I can understand the pressure and desperation. Hahaha… This should be fun!! )

 

 

So before I’m off to Mumbai, here is a video put together….............. of friends and followers voicing their wishes for Roohshad and me. I’m still crying over accidentally deleting some awesome ones. The Spartan Hedgehogs are not just Roohshad and Zinaida anymore. We are ONE BIG TEAM, who will stand together and show you we’ve got spunk to pull through this. Some were sent by friends, some were shot ourselves. The funniest was when I was trying to get my gardener to say something. Left the bloopers in, so you can see how much fun it was!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can’t wait to tell you about EVERY DETAIL of Mumbai!! My eyes are fighting to stay open, at this point of time. Gonna try and take a nap on the one-hour flight to Mumbai, but I’m sure the excitement will keep me up!!

 

 

It’s sad that the “FOLLOWER” process is a little complicated. Roohshad finally decided to make a tutorial to help them through it. Check it out: http://www.roohshad.com/GDC/GDCTUTORIAL.jpg. Wish we had thought of this a little earlier.

 

 

Thank you for your support and WISH US LUCK!!!

 

 

P.S: Dubai, New York, Mumbai, Liza’s super cute and cooperative kids, every one else in the video and not forgetting Cookie…..the “Italian” cocker spaniel from Perth….THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO HAPPEN!! We love you too!!
