ANOTHER WEEKEND GONE! Its Monday and I am so tired! Didn’t have much work to do today and it tires me! Work keeps me busy and happY!!
Friday was the day I relaxed and had not planned anything at all for the next two days but still these two days were so busy and action packed! The notion that I have started believing in firmly is that always listen to your instinct! It never lets you down! So monday morning I made an impulsive call to my senior, somebody I can’t think of being on friendly terms with as I am in awe of him! Professionally he is so good. And the response that I got from the other side was so positive and encouraging. So within some time I was ready and off to office! From office I went with him to the apartment he lives in and that was the best day I had since I have come here! He was for me a live energy. At the work place I always used to wonder what is it that drives him and how can anybody be so full of energy throughout the day and this Saturday I got the answer! His mother was such a lady who really earned my respect. She was old but still her age hadn’t make her loose any of her energy, her management skills, the knack for reaching out to people and empathising with other people’s problems! The apartment that I am to shift now is their gift to me! The flat was getting new paint done and in pink colour, as if it was being readied up for my welcome! There was somebody as well who wanted this flat and I was ready to leave it as I felt his need is more than mine. How it is! You want something but still move back as you feel that somebody else needs it more than you. I was feeling guilty of having the feeling that I should have got it as I knew that that person needed it more than me! But we human beings are selfish by nature! Anyway I supressed my wish for that flat and even made the required call for him! What “you should do” always takes the front seat in my case and “what I want” is always at the back seat! But then life is all about making the right choices and right decisions! But as luck would have it for some reason he was denied the flat and we could explore the option! But would I have enjoyed that flat, had some arrangment not been worked out for him as well? I doubt that! There would have been a guilt feeling of not having a pure heart when I was making an effort for that person! But then another option came up and we both got what was best for us! I got the flat I wanted and he wanted what suited him the best! After fixing the deal I could enjoy the rest of the day. I came to realise that a person can never be known to you fully! My that senior showed such facets of his personality that the professional respect that he had earned because of his attitude towards work changed into a respect towards a person!
A whole day at his place brought out such non known things about him! And then his mother cooked lunch for us all. It was so much of fun and after so many days I felt home, with a mother figure around. All thanks to you Dr Nitin More! 
So now came the time to crack the deal with the landlord. He is some polititian and God I am dealing with such people as well. They have totally different way of communicating but still I could manage it and he even complimented me on my smiling face!
So with a mission accomplished and another was to be accomplished! We had planned going for a movie with friends. The Departed. But we were so far away from the Hyderabad Central that it was such a tough job to be able to make it to the movie on time. But Hey I managed to reach 5 mins before the intermission. Now thats A different story that a friend now calls me ” Miss Punctuality”! But he will never know what all it took to reach before the intermission! So out and now the never ending discussion about the venue of Dinner! So ultimately we decided the Chinese food and what a no-sense talk we indulged in!!! So back to my flat at about midnight. Hey Hyderabad is a safe place to roam around! And at 1 am in the night I start with my laundry service!!!
What a day it was and the next day I had to get up early in the morning at 9! And Sunday was just Sunday! Just relaxed. Went for the weekly shopping, the weekly contact with the earthy India! It is something that is becoming a ritual with me. It kind of rejuvenates me and keeps me going for the coming 5 days in the corporate world! Huh!
