Building a nest...
Now I know what a bird building its nest feels like!
It has got to be painstaking - bringing in strands of straw, grass, plant fiber et al one by one, and then meticulously weaving them together!
Building a home is no joke.
But enervating though it is, the exercise is such a pleasure!
Surely 30 days down the line, we'll look back on all that we've managed to do with the place and sigh with pleasure :)
It's kinda nice to notice how barely 2 weeks ago, I used to return home tired like crazy with not an ounce of energy to do anything... and these days I'm brimming with energy till the time I hit the sack! :D
Being so much enthusiastic is typical of me... glad that I've rediscovered myself.
Again, I hope that it lasts... not many good things do :(
The past 2 days have been simply awesome:
Sleeping so very comfortably despite the absence of coolers, a/c, proper beds...
Feeling fresh and energetic in the mornings!
The non-stop bakar on the way to office... it's always a competition of die-hard speakers :P
The long ride spent humming favorite numbers.
The stupid anxiety over whether we locked the front door, or left it ajar thanks to all our bakar (Damn! Yesterday whole day at office, the both of us were fearing the worst... luckily we had locked it :p)
The long days at office that seem to be getting over much faster as compared to before... :)
The eagerness to get back home and go shopping (and to think of it, I used to hate shopping!)
The checking out new places to have dinner... that dhabha across Sohna Road was nice!
Riding into South City 2 for some late night shopping (either for cold drinks or an ice cream), parking the bike in the market, and taking looooong walks... just like the Pune days!
And we walk like crazy, A and I... yesterday we walked for 90 minutes, catching up on each others' lives... it's a sheer pleasure taking a walk on the well-lit yet deserted tree-lined streets of SC2, with the sexy breeze blowing...
The return to the flat, gazing at the night lights from the balcony, then ironing, polishing and getting stuff ready for the next day...
After taking a shower and cross ventilating the place, the tiredness suddenly hits... time for niinii!
Save for the initial drinking water problems and the overzealous barbers (damn! I told him to keep it medium and he reduced it to spikes! No bothering about combing my hair for a long time now :p), everything has worked out better than expected.
Next up, second "first salary" (as Lavanya puts it)!
And lots of fun with friends...
Cheers!!!
P.S. Dear Indifferent Stupid Donkey, H5A! Hope you're doing good...
