Lucky Number 7th
Today was the day when I desperately needed a recharge... 3 of my main charging points are far far away, but thank goodness the fourth is pretty close by :)
A rendezvous was planned for the evening... and yes, as expected, the day was mired by unforeseen work!
Pulled off a presentation with ease... thank God for MBA... I can make comprehensive ppts, though got lots of valuable insights on the do's and don'ts of corporate presentations!
Loads of interesting work on the cards... let's hope there's no bundling just this once!
It's nerve-wracking to be waiting for the clock to strike 6... there were plethora of calls or messages from the boss about work, and all I could do was to keep my fingers and toes crossed, and pray for no extra work that'll make me stay back :s
And it's exciting in a way to end up doing what I know I must do... scat before anyone can hold me back on a whim; stand in the middle of a flower market explaining to my boss over the phone how much I've accomplished in the day (and beautifully avoiding any reference to my current bearings :p); meeting my girl on a really special day (yep, she's my personal brand of heroin!); spending an awesome carefree evening at an lovely, romantic place in the company of two very beautiful ladies!
Only regret: not running out hand in hand and getting drenched while embracing the inviting fountains! If only someone wasn't so people conscious :p
Got loads of news when I got home... don't know whether to be happy about some things, or to whinge about the remaining!
Screw it all... just picked up the guitar and I forgot everything for a while!
A surprise message, long conversations and happy people provided the perfect closure to this superb day!
I knew Mumma and Dada would call me whenever they saw Toy Story 3... they surely did, no matter it was midnight! Lovely movie... it made me miss my toys (Heman and his entourage, GI Joe, Hot Wheels et al) and my childhood like never before!
Now to hit the sack...
If only God allowed me a chance to customize each day the way I'd like it to be, then the 2nd half of each of my days would resemble today!
Bonnuit!

TGIF - Then and Now!
Friday snapshot!
Then:
Infy. Informals.
Early lunch. B12.
Gaping. Gazing. Dreaming. Sometimes muted hooting :P
Half day. Worklessness. ECC :D
Either of MG Road, Mumbai, Baner Road, or A-701 :))
Bakar. Bakar. And sometimes a few English words from Normal Lewis!
Too much masti to be missing anything :s
Weekend outing plans. Alibagh, Kashid, Matheran et al.
Easy going.
Lovely days!
Now:
ARI. Formals.
Late lunch. CCD.
"House hunt"! Still gaping, gazing, dreaming... and commenting ♥
Full day. Truckloads of work. A true trainee immersion station :)
Either of Dhaula Kuan, Chattarpur, Ber Sarai or Lado Sarai
Bakar. Bakar. And loads of taglines :P
Positivity and optimism *fingers crossed*
Missing home. Mom's cooking. Dad's enthusiasm. Fighting with Sweety :)
Sunday outing plans. Gurgaon. Gurgaon. Ouch. Make it Sunday house hunt plans :P
Challenging.
Lovelier days ;)
Some days are simply awesome. Avei. :)
Happy weekend, people!

One day at a time...
This one's not going to become a rut... it's too dynamic and exciting for that to happen :)
And I so love busy days over hectic days...
Today turned out to be a long day... started off awesomely and ended well... I didn't mind that rework followed by the re-rework a bit :D
And to think of it, I was sooo keen on a sales job! Marketing rocks!!!
Love seeing some people being themselves... so wish that, now and then, I get to isolate them from their stupid daily life tensions...
With all the house hunt mania in the air, I've kinda taken a penchant for Saket! Whatta place! *Whistles*
Any pointers on Saket are most welcome!
Vasant Kunj and Chattarpur are ruled out...
If I thought that the week was a busy one, Sunday is gonna be a notch busier from the looks of it... got to check out lots of houses, mainly a really cool apartment in Gurgaon... fully furnished, A/C, Fridge (yippeee :D), Power backup et al... and the complete package at a very nominal rate!
Oh well, just 4 days of worklife - part 2, and I feel so experienced! :p
Kevin's dad in The Wonder Years when asked, "How was work?", used to reply "Work is work"... I
don't want to reach that stage anytime soon!
Happy weekend, folks!!
Shucks! Henceforth, Sunday is what the term "weekend" refers to in my case...

Nayii baatein, puraani Dilli
Last minute plans. On-the-fly execution.
Awesome backdrop. The whiff of old Delhi.
Crowded marketplace. Yet the feeling of being alone.
That awesome rickshaw ride. That holding of hands.
That altogether different shopping experience :)
Someone's carelessness, restlessness, excess thought process, and hence the resulting tiredness :P
Ethics ethics ethics! Impressive :)
Playing coolie, lifting heavy heavy weight (:p), yet trying to grab someone's bag :)
Running out of time to do anything else.
That roller-coaster of a rickshaw ride. Woohoo!!
Walking arm in arm... hopping down the stairs to the metro station :)
That superfast metro ride. That close shave at the gate :P :P
The awesome evening in CP. The mood-swings... Ice-cream! Nothing sweet! Nothing at all! :D
Walking and talking, and forgetting to hire an auto... that constant show of the tongue :P
The sexy auto drive. The cold breeze. The nothings. The companion.
The constant chitter-chatter, better than music!
And before you know it, asta la vista :)
