What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The visa in the old passport will still be valid. You'll just have to travel with two passports and show Indian passport control both until it expires. Then get a new visa in the unexpired passport.
Ah, so they will send the old one back to me? Okay. That's going to be annoying if I need to use it, but good to know.
Be grateful that you don't need it expedited. The last time I had to do that it cost well over $200 with the fees and expediting service.
Yeah, I only just realized it was expiring in a week last month. Luckily, I don't have any international travel planned in the next 4 to 6 weeks, but you never know when you have to just run off to Brazil or something.

I assumed it was the first page with the picture and expiration date and everything. But no, it's a different thing! Dammit, passport renewal is $110!
Oh, I thought you realized that and just needed to go to like, Mexico or something.

I'm going out for sushi tonight and to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with my neighbors. I'm catching a bus to the restaurant. It would be really awesome if Felix Bloch ended up being my bus driver.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Should I go take down christmas lights? It makes me sad.
I am on a campaign to have them be Winter lights, anyway -- it's still really dark! We still need added light!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Just call 'em Mardi Gras lights and leave them up 'til Lent. Festive!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Ah, so they will send the old one back to me?
Yes. It will have a hole punched into it, but they will send it back.
Yeah, I only just realized it was expiring in a week last month.
You should be careful about that, even if you don't travel frequently. Many countries will not let you in if your passport expires in 6 months or less. There are even a few countries that make a stink if you're inside of a year. Hell, the airlines won't even let you get on the plane in the first place, and then you're out the change fee and difference in fare.
Luckily, I don't have any international travel planned in the next 4 to 6 weeks, but you never know when you have to just run off to Brazil or something.
There's no running off to Brazil, unless you already have a visa. They take *forever* to give you one, which is why I use my Italian passport when traveling there. No visa required. You're better running off to a country that participates in the visa waiver program. I know Italy is nice this time of year!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jamaica, no visa. FWIW. No winter either. And buggery might be legal soon!
If they were Christmas lights when you put them up, they come down today. You aren't allowed to change your mind. What sort of state do you think you live in?

ISTG (no pun intended), even though I can count, I thought that Twelfth Night (which is also Feast of the Epiphany in the Catholic church) was January 8th.
Apparently I've been confusing Elvis Presley's birthday with Epiphany my whole life. That's...kinda awesome.
