Wow what a week it was! I am yet to come out of the heady feeling that I was in, throughout week Jul9-Jul15. Without any shadow of doubt, it has been the best week of my life, as I comprehend it now. Even if I do want to bring it all in here and save it for posterity, read it sometime in the future and derive happiness from the words, I don’t know if I would do justice to those inner feelings through these mere words. All I would want to do is capsule this week’s time for repeated consumption! Alas… time won’t wait, so here it all comes in the blog.
Sun Mon Tue – Marriage (growing up)
The 9th and 10th of July was my cousin’s marriage. Being a part of this family function and also playing a useful part in the proceedings gave me immense satisfaction and was sure a learning, growing experience. In simple words, my inner voice said – ‘you are now 24!’ And I can assure you that’s not a bad feeling at all. 11th was rest day and nothing works better than taking leave from office spending ‘quality’ time with near and dear ones. I enjoyed the food, the people and everything about the big fat wedding! :)
Wed Thurs – Food (Bliss)
The excellent streak of amazing food that I had in Chennai stretched into Bangalore also. 12th July, Wednesday was super lunch at Krishna Kafe. 13 July, Thursday was shopping@ Forum and dinner at Pizza Hut. Of course the company I had for both the sessions made the midweek worth remembering! ;)
Friday [Jul 14] – Crossing borders
This was predestined I suppose! The storyline is, a someone from across the globe decides to go on a crazy ‘hat-hunt’ with a equally crazy guy across the city! And did the rain-god have a ‘dry’ sense of humor or what! Both of us were totally-totally drenched before we could reach the theatre for the evening show! [Albeit with our prize cap safe with us]. The consensus was that, if only the movie was for a smaller duration, Superman Returns could have been enjoyable! And yeah, she loved the gift! :)
Saturday [Jul 15]– Perfect finish
When in a dream everything feels great but chances are that we will forget it once awake. But there are some dreams that refuse to go even after we are wide awake because the last few moments of the dream were such exhilarating moments. This Saturday was such a finish to the great week. Everything (well almost) was perfect about the trip 7 of us from office took, to Nandi Hills 60kms off Bangalore, on 4 bikes! :) The weather was just perfect for a long drive with really cool wind and the occasional drizzle. Clean roads leading to the mist covered hills in the horizon, with flush meadows / agriculture land on either side was irresistible. And I do have to mention the ‘wow’ home-made breakfast and lunch we had taken with us to the trip. I am actually unable to get words to describe the fun and frolic we had atop the hills playing cards, mocking the monkeys, taking umpteen photos and having a blast!!
Life is good, as it has been for quite sometime now and I don’t intend to stop having fun like this!
