A loooooong weekend

It's actually not that long. Just 4 days, which is too less to catch up with loads of friends, but jus enough to relax. Relaxation is the theme of this weekend. What with the relaxing few days promised at Raichak (see pic) turning into a day and night work period and a few other plans falling through.

Today I totally relaxed except for the odd call from the agency, boss and a colleague. I actually beat my nephew hands down in sleep time. The little brat saw me after 3 months and yet the bonding was instant. Icing on the cake was him preferring to be carried around by me than his mother.

Lately my charm seems to be working only on babies and dogs. Well as a group they do have the most honest reactions to people. My nephew spent most of his day impressing me with all the antics he's learnt.

Planning to visit my dentist tomorrow and then do some catching up with friends. The dentist visit is an absolute necessity. Been ages since I had a proper check up and the friends will abslutely kill me if I don't meet them.

I really can't believe that it's been 3 months since I've been home. Time has been really flying by recently. Most days pass by in a blur. Really really need to pause and reflect. I need to evaluate where I stand right now and what is it that I plan to do, what is it that I really need to do.

One good thing about Mumbai is meeting friends who have nothing to do with my work, which is so so good because conversations in Kol generally enter work territory.

I had planned to do a trek in Mumbai, but am really too lazy right now to execute it. Also the trek was supposed to be a pic clicking trip and that's going to be dicey since my camera has started misbehaving. The new batteries simply dont seem to be working and I can't figure out whether it's the cam or the batteries at fault. Maybe it's time to buy the DSC - H2/H5 I've been eyeing. Problem is the emotionl attachement I have to this camera. It's helped me capture some of the most memorable moments of my life and I really can't let it down cause it's never let me down until this battery problem.

Life is sometimes like that. What seems the rational thing to do is an emotional no no. But then sometimes when there is a conflict between the heart and the head, you really have to choose to do the right thing. Will kep you posted on that one.

Blissfully,

Luv,
