This is not just another bloody WordPress.com weblog!! What were you thinking eh?

Big Saturday

After few life changing decisions I made on over the week with mixed results, Saturday happened to be a perfect day for me go out and meet few friends. I met my best buddies Sharan and Nandini at Casablanka (Near BDA Complex). Somehow, of all the people I’ve met in my short life till now, these both (along with many others) have remained so close to me.

For over an hour, I poured my heart out to both of them – things to do with my personal life, issues I am currently facing because I wanted to be good to everyone (Sometimes, you just have to choose between people!) and how my life was so totally messed up! Like most others, when we talk to our friends we don’t need their advice for we know what’s the best thing to do. I just wanted them to listen to me and somehow i feel these both nuts understand that and lend me their ear every single time.

Sharan and me then ate sandwiches and drank coffee, while not stopping ourselves from scooping out some DBC from Nandini’s bowl. Though I’ve been to Casablanka once, I really love this place. The place serves good food and the ambience lets me relax. While we were returning, my others friends Nick and Dumbo, called me up and I promised I’ll meet them at Kalmane Coffee in Forum by 18:00. When i reached the place, i realized they’ve turned the cafe upside down. It no longer had a cosy sofa in the corner. We had to struggle box-looking cushions. But who cares. The coffee is cheap and we get to spend tons of time without getting kicking out. The next couple of hours was spent talking about relationships with Nick playing judge.

There’s something about Nick that makes me really like her. She’s bold and fragile, both at the same time. Its tough to argue with her, yet I’m so comfortable talking to her. She’s sure among my best buddies now! And my Dumbo is so central to my life. She loves me more than anyone else does and its not too often to get to meet people like her. After I said goodbye, I strangely wanted to go to Landmark and browse through books. I personally have so many books at home that I was worried, that i’ll end up buying more. I am so addicted to shopping for books.

I picked up a book called “Real Estate Investing for Dummies!” and a CD Pouch that’ll let me keep 96 discs at one place. Just when i hit the billing section did i realize thats its a weekend. There were atleast 100 people waiting to get their stuff billed. I walked back and put the things back where they belonged. I reached home and spoke to Dumbo again. Things are fine, for the time being atleast. Pray it lasts forever.

Love
Sen

This is surely a nice blog and it really made me feel that I should reach out and help you out with your worries…..also a little disapponting that I dont figure in the list of people close to u:(….hehehehe but then its something that is very genuine and probably what is happening to most people….just that you penned them down and other may not be able to….yet whatever it is remember the cliche..there is a silver lining to every grey cloud….and for a person like you whom I have known to always have taken challenge this presented a vulnerable side of you…….but whatever it is remember nothing can pull you down until u want …….and in the end im sure u will get everything

Nice one- its surprising that compared to many people, you are actually blessed with TWO good friends to cry with- another TWO to have coffee with and a whole bunch of others who read your blogs :)

ON a more serious note- yes, good friends with whom you can really be yourself are rare- hold them close. Once you beginning working, you’ll wonder if you and youre good friends are the only normal people on the planet :) – I hear this same sentiment from my father, my students, my friends and my brothers friends!!!!
