What a Week!!!!!

This week has been a rather special one. After a very long time I felt that seven days did not do justice to a week. The feeling that I shared with my brain in its adoloscence, when I often wept in despair, grumbled and questioned the end of a week. This feeling was prompted by the fact that I would have a whole lot of relatives coming down on any given weekend. In a 'childishly' innocent and nobly inquisitive voice, I would often ask my dad about why a good weekend had to ever end. A weekend that promised countless happy hours( and no...I am not talking about the pubs in Mumbai!!!!!!!!!!), one that meant long hours of directionless chats, prolonged 'champi session'. Even tea got a promotion with the end of friday, for it would be served in tall glasses for the coming two days. This week comprised of similar emotions. It began with a happy news. After spending six nervous weeks, I finally got an admit for my MS. I can't explain why, but it gave me a sense of excitement, responsibility, apprehension, happiness, and I loved the feeling that something struck so many strings of emotions with in me. Suddenly, things seemed to fall into the groove. The next thing , I got a call from 'Infosys', which was a pleasant surprise. Not that it is going to change anything, but the confidence that it gave with the fact that there are people who want to stand up, point a finger at you and call a bid. It is a nice feeling to be 'wanted', re-assuring for some reason. Then came the news of my sis getting a job in Canada, which really was a great news. The excitement doubled over the weekend as I had the oppurtuinity to watch Brian Charles Lara play live in front of me at Mumbai. The game turned out to be a Half-day international rather than an ODI, but what the heck......I never bought the ticket. Yeah, I got a freaking Rs.10,000/- complimentary ticket, and no I am neither week at maths here nor do I have a keyboard mal-function.Even though the Carribean flavour din't last long on the pitch, the Srilankan batting was pretty fun to watch. I could not have asked for more next. But this is one of those 'adolo....weekends' that I mentioned. The night was spent in Mumbai's best located falt, 13 A Purnima, Malabar hill. In front of my eyes, I had the Queen's necklace. One could actually count the number of street lights between the Air-India building and the Girgaum Chowpatty.It struck me then and there why a person would ever be willing to pay 30,000 for a square foot. I have no doubts now. So there I was, standing in the balcony, sipping good old kingfisher, six cans of it, and when I felt that I had moved upto the 20th floor, I realised that it was time for me to step back a little awayfrom the balcony. To end this beautiful week, I had my cousin sister, Dolly didi coming down to India, I would get to see my youngest 'bhanja', Kush. It was awesome meeting them today. This Diwali is going to be a lot of fun, with so many of my relatives at home.As ironical as it may sound, through the process of writing this blog, I have realised that there was a part with in me which actually wanted this week to end, for the coming week sounds like even more fun......well what can I say? Some may call me selfish........but I call it................... 'ONLY HUMAN'.
