Two Lifts in 2 weeks :-D

The last Saturday of 2006 was really a busy day. I woke up at 7 in the morning n rushed to one of my relative’s place, a 1.5 hr bus drive from my place. Met my relatives n as I had promised them to take them to my univ got a cab n brought them to the univ. I was walking all thro the univ along with them so that they cud get to see most of the places. It was really hot n I had no energy at the end of tour. At abt 12:30 started from the univ and went n dropped them back as they were new to the place only then I realized that I was supposed to go to my friend’s place near my univ for lunch. I was like I am gonna reach only for dinner. Then immediately got the train n came back. This was the first time I was going to my friends place. Once I got down from the station I started to walk thinking that I wud be able to manage my way. Walking for sometime n realized that it was already too late n thought it wud be a better option to ask somebody on the way for the rt direction. There was nobody on the road except a guy sitting in the car parked on the side of the road. I approached him n asked him the way n he said he has no idea. I was like, ok this is not my day n started to walk n suddenly heard a voice calling Hello Hello. I turned back n it was the guy whom I asked the way. He was like I have the map n I am waiting to pick up my kids n u seem to be in an emergency ( I guess he misunderstood the speed in which I walk) So I will drop u there. I was like I am not in any emergency but cud u tell me the direction. Then eventually cudnt resist the offer n took a lift to my friends place.:) Thanked him n wished him a Happy New year! The second one happ last Thursday. The work was done for the day n I was heading towards the bus stop to get back home when I met this person whom I have never spoken to before except few smiles. I used to see him quiet often cos he works in the same building as mine but never had a chance to speak to him. As usual when I saw him I gave a smile n sat in the bus stop waiting for the bus. I was waiting for a while n suddenly he waved his hand n told me that he is going in a cab to the near by shopping center n offered me that he would drop me on the way. Ok (I jus cudnt think of any other answer). Got into the cab n finally introduced myself! We were speaking abt research interests to his last trip to India which was abt 3 years ago. Reached the destination n thanked him for the lift.

Looking Back 2006

It was a year that I need to keep in my bank locker. Its been a complete turn around for me. rt from the word go. There were loads of things happened that I had never ever expected. It has made me change my conception abt everything in life. Oh my god!. It was an amazing learning curve. There were lots of things to be learnt, abt work, ppl, abt myself! First beach party, completed my coursework, first interview call, followed by more applications for job n few more interview calls then finally landed with my first job, first sal, met loads of ppl got close to few of them, my first musical instrument, first trip to Malaysia n loads of mistake I had made from which I have learnt more abt myself :)

Wish u all a Happy New Year!

Cha Cha Cha

Wondering what does the title mean. This is the Mexican restaurant I went last Friday. For quiet sometime now, I had been thinking abt trying out a different cuisine n finally had some thing to cheer abt on friday. I heard few great news from my friends. Thought it needs to go for a toast n decided to go out for dinner. There were some pondering n long conversations with my friends on when to go. At last Friday was decided as the day to celebrate. Reached the restaurant at abt 8 n looked into the menu card. Trust me I did not understand a single bit in it. Started off with corn chips n salsa. The next starter that we ordered was jalapeno relledeo ( not sure abt the name.but sth similar to this). It was amazing. The cheese was melting inside. next moved on to the main course but this time I don’t remember the name of it not even something close to it. It had potato, spinach , cheese n some sauce. Then followed it with a long walk jus to compensate the effect of too much of cheese ;).

Next in queue is the Mediterranean cuisine.
