Can things simply stay for the pleasure of it. No underbelly to it, no underlying meaning to it. Like a Saturday night that is just meant to have a good time, nothing less, nothing more.
Can life just be like that?

Confused. Got to play football today.
I want katta sessions, Sinhagad, Polka Dots, Aachaey.
...Good food and some good sleep.

Relative happiness is such a dangerous concept. Every time you dabble with it, you are sure to get burnt. Done.
Also this weekend I got to have fun. Enough work, enough multi-tasking. I am not making good use of summer, I gotta get something of mine going, aisa to kick-start the season. That something is not happening. Camping, I think that's it.
Done.

Spaced Out
You know the feeling you get when you finish countless million things just like that and now you have nothing to do. You know the feeling of laziness, now that you have earned it, to be able to do just nothing.
So I start off thinking what next? What next in this time span of nothing? Should I sleep or stare or not even do that. Just nothing. Then I decide maybe I should read a book (yeah right!!), then I think I should just dream but eventually I get down to cooking. I experiment with fish curry. For a change I decide not to make it the usual mom taught way but just let instinct flow. Result, priceless!!
Now I have a full tummy with a new fish dish I just learnt and I am back to doing nothing :)

Just Cooking
God's blessed me with one thing. Atleast I am not gonna die for lack of tasty food. The ability to cook your own favourite dish is just priceless!
For those not in the knowing, I am a carnivore. Goat curry (and I say goat and not lamb cause lamb is such a cheap imitation) is by far the best thing mom made and passed it along to me, Mutton Biryani is still some distance away, but 95% mom-like goat curry is good enough for me.

Stud vs Sweetheart
I am already scared of Aarish. The dude is gonna turn out to be one heck of a stud. The dude already gives me the chilled out, "it's cool!" look. And the smile, just precious!
This, by no means, has any impact on Arshu. She is my sweetheart, I will love her and protect her even while the dude turns into the stud he is threatening to be.
Their parents have pretty interesting years ahead. I just get to do the good part, pamper them, spoil them and that's it.
Shucks I just met them a month back and I already miss them.
Mom if you thought we kids were a handful, wait and watch these guys.
It's all good :)

Surreal!
I was a small boy waiting at the bus-stop, about a 20-min walk from home, alongwith my sister and other school friends for the PCMT bus to come. Walk back from school was even better, with samosa and imli chutney along the Dairy Farm route.
20 odd years hence that small boy might just be traveling all across the globe to approximately the same place (pinpoint), in a different capacity, with different ambitions. What do I call this? Progression or whatever it may be, living life is just such a wonderful experience. To me, I have got the greatest gift of life, Thank You God.
My contribution to this has been just living each day as it comes. Pretty rewarding, no?
