i am honored to carry your love on my wrist. i’ve still got some 2005 joints on there!
Hi Everyone! My phone broke two days ago and I am just waiting to get a new phone that is functioning again. In the meantime, if anyone of you need to contact me, please call my apartment room phone. The number is 216-754-4218. I should have my cell number back sometime early next week. But until then, you know where to call!
Hi Guys, here is the mp3 of the Kachchhi song that was sung at sheela’s wedding by the visitor from kutch who’s name I have forgotten. http://nimit.maru.us/projects/songshare/fd.php?id=301
Listen to it…and below are the lyrics I wrote down. If some of you kachchhi experts would like to explain to all of us the meaning, I’d appreciate it. I have put stars by the lines that I don’t really understand. You can use the line numbers in the comments to give meanings 
Thanks!
