Weekend Plan

You sleep at almost 2 in the nite and wake up at 10 minutes to 6 on a sunday morning with 3 alarms buzzing away to glory - Not done boss! Had to make a booking to hire a cab that early in the day for today and here I am - after all that done. Booked a Toyota Camri (wow..I can't wait till 8 am now). We - Vishal, Vinni, Me and Nitin decided yesterday in the party for a drive across the countryside towards yarra valley and lake mountain (where it snows). Cabs are usually very expensive in Australia and so decided to hire a car and fuel it up - would be convenient for us. Hoping that it doesn't rain for I have my eyes all set on that hot air ballooning thing that you can do in yarra valley. Not sure if I can take that for an hour, but I would love to do it once in my life..have seen it in so many movies (remember 'Hum kisi se kum nahi').

What did I do yesterday - I went to Victoria market - did whole lot of wasteful shopping - picking up everything that I thought was good (and which isn't all that good) - then came home, had a quick roasted chicken (from Nandos downstairs) with peri-peri sauce (man, you gotta eat it to belive it - its just yummm), and then off me and chayan went to Saint Khilda's beach. A beautiful beach in the sub-urbs of Melbourne - with awesome apartments facing the beach. I must say, this place is beautiful along the country side. It's so peaceful in here - you actually find people fishing away to glory in solitude on weekends. We would have spent about an hour and a half there, walking along the beach - enjoying the wind and the chill. And then we started to walk - and guess what, we actually walked our way back home - which is approximately 8-9 kilometers from the beach. The walk was so much fun that we just did not wait for a tram or a cab. Will share the pictures soon of the walk. Came back and we had messages on our cell phones for a pre-party at Amit and Abhay's place. 'Hollandia' was the beer today. Not all that bad - but I guess carlsberg yesterday was better anyday. Rohit and Mrigank also arrived today - almost all seem to be in the party mood these days...specially weekends. :-) As usual Anshuman was at his best, dancing and cooking (oh, by the way, I cooked rice pulao for everyone) and for a change this time - it wasn't our favourite anshuman cd playing.

And now I know how it is to be embarrassed to the core - guess I have seen the most embarrassing day of ma' life. :( It happens so guess let's just let it be.

Time To Go..


...I know it is THE time
...I know it is THE time to go
Wilderness calls,
Music plays,
Boredom kills,
Camera is ready,
Car can be made ready,
Moods all set in..

Damn - I need company. I need some folks to show me the enthusiasm to just pack up bags and get going - out in the wilderness, uphill, where we belong...among clouds, among fog setting in, among silence, among still waters, and in Nothingness. Comeon, life cannot be always around corporates or the usual work routine - look at the weather outside...imagine how it would be to trek along a mountain trail..towards a glacier..or sit beside a river bed..or just feel fog setting in your face, cool breeze hitting your soul like nobody's business. It can't be an impossible dream. No way.

This part of the year, I have had my bestest of days and memories built in. Cheers to the times I have lived and cheers to the times that shall be. They better be.

Is anyone game?
