Events!!

Posting the events since last thursday....also jotting down those fleeting thoughts I had in my mind..On Friday I came to work early because we were shifting our office. I had also promised a treat to my colleagues and had arranged for the same. I was eager to take the people out but the shifting activity totally screwed it up. Some people were even wondering why the heck was I prepared to give a birthday treat. Some wondered why I had invited a huge crowd and some accused me of being pompous. Well What could i explain to them? I wasnt trying to advertise that I was capable of giving them a treat. I just wanted to create an occassion where all the people I knew could meet and have a nice time. I was a little frustrated how such a noble intention could be mistaken. Some said I could spend the money on the poor. It was a very valid point and I had already arranged for sweets and food to be distributed on my birthday. Only a few close friends came to the treat and we had nice lunch at the Dhabba.

Friday evening I went to the beach with Sumit and Raj and had a nice time. This was followed by pool and I came in home at 9. I was reading a book till about 11. I started wondering about those good times during college when people started calling from 11 and wished me till late night. Tresa,Naggi,Swamy and close friends. I felt a lil sad and I felt a lil lonely. Suddenly at 11.45 they came. My cousins and my friends who lived closely had secretly plotted a birthday party at 12 and there thye were boosting up my spirits when I needed it badly. Then my elder brother Rats called up and spoke for a while. It was a memorable way to start one's birthday with cake all over your face.

On the next day I turned 26. I went to the temple and saluted the goddess. I also didnt miss out yoga in the morning. In the evening my friends and I had a nice time at Kumarakom authentic mallu restaurant. Anybody who likes mallu cuisine should try out kumarakom. It promised cheap and tasty food. Then I came home and went to sleep. I missed out badminton the next morning and wasted my whole day sleeping. In the evening we played a nice cricket match where I scored miserably. This was followed by dinner at my friend's restaurant Broaster. Let me tell you about Lavanya who runs this place. I have known her since she was a lil girl. She has very strong determination and immense strength. Imagine a girl who has guts to open and run a chicken joint at Mylapore which is supposed to be a haven of staunch brahmins. she is one role model I forgot to mention in my previous post.

Today I sacrificed my sleep to catch the bus at 7.30 to reach my new workplace. At first I was very intimated at seeing about 2000 people in a single campus running around. Waiting in queues for breakfast,walking a few steps to the cafetaria...every thing has changed drastically since Friday...But I am starting to like this change because I realised that there was no use in resisiting change. I will be back soon.
