I thought putting posts at the rate of one per month would help me find time to think and write with ease but instead I find myself with so much stuff to write about that I can't decide where to start from. So much has happened in the past one month, my buddy Mayank has left India to pursue further studies and has already accomplished one impossible task - he actually remembered my B'day and called me up to wish.
Let me give you a little background info on my buddy. He is one of those really innocent looking sweet chap on the outside but a naughty devil inside (I'm sure many girls would agree with me on this). He is a gem of a guy, kind and considerate but just can't manage to handle dates and time. We have to remind him to wish his other friends on their b'days likewise they make it a point to remind him on our b'days. So I was really amazed when he managed to remember on his own this time around (so were my college group buddies when I told them about this).
We had the Cultural Week celebrations in Trinfy (thats Trivandrum Infosys for the uninitiated) last week and it was a blast. I was part of the fashion show. Yes, I walked the ramp inspite of my height impediment (you see I am just 5'7" and I did get quite some jabs since my parter was like one or two inches taller). But it felt good to be part of something like this after so long and did I forget to mention that we managed to grab the first prize in the competition. Now I am in office trying to catch up on work, which doesn't feel that good...hehehe.
I don't get the deal with b'days. Everyone wants to know what I did "special" on this day and when I reply with a negative, have to endure all kinds of insults and strange looks. They treat me as if I have committed a grave crime by not doing something out of the ordinary on this particular day. I wish I was born on Feb 29 then I would have to endure this just once in four years. What say?
