9.39 am Monday

Today is going to be a long day. Totally preventing myself from physically running off home.

Had a crazy weekend. Met the girls on Friday for dinner at Masalacraft. Then went to watch 'Prince of Persia' - load of rubbish. 300 bucks down the gutter.

Saturday evening went shopping and bought a ridiculously expensive red bag. Rest of the evening at TGIF with one of the coolest people I know.

Sunday afternoon went to meet pal. After 2 sky whis me and his roomates were soaring. Pal was fine.

Slept at 4am. Trying to keep myself awake today. Have come to this dreary place. Im taking a break from local ho for a month at least. Damn hungry but stomach's a mess. Total weekend damage 7k.

Can't get this song outta my head - "Move if you wanna if you wanna if you wanna .. Move move if you wanna if you wanna if you wanna". Need to go dancing soon.

Monday agony here I come.

freeing me

At times I find myself struggling to break free from the crazy thoughts my mind cooks up. Of late things have settled down in the dark alleys of my brain. I can think clearly and nothing seems so terrible anymore. This happened after my best friend put things in perspective for me in the candid way that he always does. Thanks pal :)

You know how there are certain things we all do that make us feel immensely happy. For me some of those things are going to the mountains, watching the rains, and riding horses. Some of my best memories have included one or more of these.

1. Darjeeling, WB - my first trip to the Himalayas. I can’t forget being stunned by the majestic lush green mountains, neatly cut tea gardens and lovely smiling mountain people.

2. Monsoon 2005, Mumbai - Another memory that will stay with me for a while was watching the rain come down on 26th July 2005. I was safely at home by 2pm and I spent the rest of the day staring at the fury of the monsoon for hours together. It was beautiful and devastating all at once.

3. Giza, Egypt - Riding around the pyramids. I learnt riding when I was a very young and that explains my love for horses. They are beautiful animals with the softest hearts unless you decide to stand at the rear and tickle their hooves. In which case you might find yourself in another orbit.

Point of the Post: Every now and then do things that set you free and meet people who love you back. They make the world seem easier to traverse through.

weekend diary

Weekend well spent even though my favourite pal was not around.

Met some friends over dinner. Managed to catch Iron Man 2 on Friday. Refreshing to see Hollywood hasn't lost its corny touch. Robert Downey Jr looked botoxed, Gwyneth looked old, Johanson looked amazing (yep I'll admit in a totally un-bi-ased way that she looked hot). Mickey Rourke was the best part as the somewhat taciturn villain and Sam Rockwell was good as always. The movie was expectedly crap. So in a way it lived up to its expectations.

Saturday night had some awesome Adai Dosa at Matunga. Got back to find wifi finally installed at home. What joy! Now I can sit on my bed, surf and watch tellie all at once! So thats precisely what I did for the rest of weekend.

Need to buy a new cell phone for the same reason everyone else does - boredom. The quest for selection of a new phone keeps me occupied for 2 hours every weekend. So until I find something else to do in those 2 hours I shall continue humoring myself.

Good bye. Have an agonising Monday.
