another saturday streams by...

...and its a wonderful Sunday!!!

Had a good week- especially the one-day visit to Mumbai. Although rushed and pretty packed, the day went off superbly! Had maa ke haath ka khana after long- heaven! And then an abs great time over dinner with my bestest friend- how good is good company! :) Got treated to phirni (one of my faves!) from Noorani.. so a yum dessert, a-sitting by the sea and a full moon night... simply awesome!
Life sometimes hands us magic on a platter

Hidden in pieces of time all a-tatter …
Even if it is just small talk and idle chatter
These are the special moments that really matter …

The journey back was real long (took me a good 4-5 hours to reach- which was around 3am in the morning) but just so beautiful that words can't do justice to it... Picture this! A resplendent full moon with a lunar eclipse lighting up the entire ghats...the mountains, trees, houses and even the roads are alit with the shimmering, silvery glitter of moonlight...the lights from the vehicles and homes flicker through these silhouettes...a play of natural vs. the artificial... and in the background Indian Ocean is singing their song Kandisa ... the road becomes an ethereal path that moves upwards... magical isn't it!? Mmmmm....I think everyone must travel once down this way on a full moon night!

A moonlit sky singing a midnight sonata
The kiss of many dreams all filled in one iota
I hear the sound of my beating heart anew
There’s a silver-lined enchantment in the air,
but those who understand it, are very few…

Went last evening for a premiere of a Marathi movie film, produced by friends of mine... during the press conference, all of us were sitting around and chatting generally.... when the point of conversation went on to one of the women's husband not having dinner but just enjoying his drinks; and she said that as of now she better just leave him alone ... and I thought that hey, that’s a real understanding wife - he's been having some real tensed months and she's letting him be.... till she said something the next second, "... give a little leash and then pull back tight! Like a dog!". And another friend of hers tittered..." he he ... oh, she's such a good trainer!"

Oh Yes I was shocked! So much so that words didn't come out! My face must have looked like a goldfish's...Here I was, treating my dog as a human and there she is, treating her husband like a dog! What do you say to this peepulz!?

Well anyway... have a happy Sunday! And a great week ahead! :)
Love...
Moi.
