'SURPRISE'... mostly make people happy. I landed up in Kolkata to surprise my family.As soon as my plane landed,i had a big grin. Those 4 days of drooling, slothing around and driving just dashed by. Somewhere deep inside, i missed people in Mumbai. Strange but its true.
Mumbai ain't all that bad.September began on a good note. The first week was a super duper one. I took a night-out from hostel. I met Mr.Chirag Madan of Park Hotel. That bum couldn't find a better time to leave Mumbai for Hyderabad. Coming to Nerul meant catching up with him and our random conversations. 'Chirag, I am impressed with your scooty riding skills'!
That night i head out for Geet Castalinho's birthday. We danced and swayed to old love songs till morning. With hardly any sleep-- Mondegars super duper breakfast still managed to bring a 'smile' on our faces. It was start of September.
One element in the definition of public relation is 'relation with the public' that means people. I think I possess that quality because i sure have been able to make some great relations. My 'hot' friends with 'spiced-up' life: Sharon-ah and Beli. You should see them eating chillies. My Colaba neighbours- Kalpana Building (including Ruby too). My favourite 'play-mate' ;) : Whee-a. The marine liners: ( those BIG FAT FUGLY RATS are NOT included). My loves of Worli Naka. The sexy dancers of Mahalaxmi. Mr. TOO good. Rimsh <3, Iq-rah and her touch ;),Hemlata ;) The snooty: Tanvi, The bong-connections (it is such a pleasure to talk in Bengali in Mumbai :)), Nimboo paani, My crazy love: PP, the computer wizard etc. Damn there are so many more names i could add... The Wesley Church hostelites, the whole PR Batch actually.
The cheap Baghdadi meals. The walk from Colaba to Marine drive. Singing away, the breeze on your face, the drizzles, the 'hypothetical situation' game, the frantic phone calls and the cab night charges. Watching Step-Up 3D. The crazy dancing at Shiros with my girls. The 3 a.m. Bade Miyan Roti and chicken Bhuna. The body ache. Family lunch followed by a long snooze. Crazy weekend.
Looking at 'issues' in a positive light: I definitely wouldn't have been able to enjoy such crazy night outs if it wasn't for my 9:30 p.m curfew. I really enjoy the days when I don't need to run to make it back on time :).
Those 4 days in Kolkata slipped by but time seems to move a little slowly for me now here in Mumbai. I am eagerly waiting for December. I can go back home to my family and celebrate Christmas with wine and cake. Reunite with other special people in my life. The thought of it brings 'all smiles' to my face.
The thought of whole lot of assignments and long hours of lecture yet to come is making me yawn. Somebody,please WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS.
