Officially, I am a much happier person right now than the past two days. Reason you ask? I sulked around in bed way too long, that when I got a call from a childhood friend from school [who was visiting Kochi], I leapt out with all the ardour I could harbor, dressed up, dolled myself and went out for dinner and drinks.
First we went to this seafood place on Wellington Island at the Casino hotel, and well, washed down the pomfret fry with some good ol' scotch. We reminisced about our school days, the trips we made and how after all the zest we carried around then, we've all pretty much landed back on familiar grounds. Divorced.
He brought along another friend of his, who drove us around, and paid the bills [I almost love free food!!], and we chatted and chatted until our heads drooped. The chatterati that we are, landed us at another quaint joint for some Indian chai before I got dropped off back home.
Anyhow, good end to a rather slow tiring day.
Oh and the best thing though besides meeting an old friend was my GRAND new discovery of "Flipcart"!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I mean really. Whoever gets you whatever you want to your doorstep, without you even paying for it until it IS on your lap? That, in my opinion is uber-cool consumer strategy or some rather intelligent thing like that. So I ordered for two books. One is "You are Here", by Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, and the other one is " The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", which I've heard no end of, and now I am quite curious about this hullabaloo surrounding it.
I've the "Girl with a pearl earring" right in front of me as I type this, and I've realized that I do have much to catch up with in the literary world. [Again one of those things that happened to me while at the jungle].
So I'm all into reading and reading, just like before and back to getting my work and some amount of travelling coming up very soooon! Yayyy! I love it when exciting things happen.
Oooookie.
Goodnight whoever it is that's reading me right now.
[PS: Apparently flipcart's been around for ages!! I DID NOT know that until those funny little ads started appearing on television lately. You know the ones with kids dressed as adults? Hmph].
