30th has finally been declared as an off (elections!!). Yay!! now we have a straight off from 30 to 3 May. But sadly all my plans to hit Goa o'er the coming weekend have gone for a toss. I had planned the trip in the beginning of April and the airfare was very cheap at that time, however I was told that I may have to work o'er that weekend since some wretched deal documents will be getting executed that weekend, so I did not book any ticks. Now that deal has gone kaput, but the airfare has shot up like crazy and I just can't afford it. The train ticks are not available, and I simply cannot do a road trip (both my last trips in April beginning and in January, were road trips with almost 30 hrs per trip on the road). So now I have to settle for something less appealing like Madh Island.
Oh, and my friend SA has just recently (like day before yesterday) started dating this guy, JM. So SA and JM had invited me over to JM's place in for dinner. SA had made sexy pasta in pesto sauce! I went expecting little but JM turned out to be this really sweet and laid-back chappie. I quite liked him and I am so happy for SA. We had a great time..yapping away to glory, recounting school days for JM's benefit and sipping on (lovely!) chenin blanc. Plus this guys's house was on the 20th floor and just absolutely enjoyed the wind, the music, the converstion, the food, the wine. And oh, I almost forgot, this really hilarious thing happened. The bottle of wine that I bought as a gift for JM, it refused to open with the wine opener , so JM started stabbing the cork with a knife, and finally the cork plopped inside the bottle. When we poured out the wine, all sorts of bits and pieces of the cork were coming into the glass, so we decided to strain the wine. And we strained it right into a kadhai and we were helping ourselves using a huge ladle! It was too funny and we couldn't stop laughing. Well, I know it does not sound so funny when I write it down, but well it was!!
Until then...
