Monday, 2nd March Its been months since I have traveled. Months since I last blogged. Months since I blogged at 35,000 feet above the sea level . Lots of changes happening in and around me. Work and Studies keep up their relentless pressure as usual and keep piling up more expectations. Same goes with the people around me. Every seems to be expecting a lot of thing to happen and me help them as well. Am wondering who’s going to help me ! Today has been just as my forecast was. I read 2-3 news papers sections and all seem to have come true. One said long distance travel expected and that I should take care of my health. I am on my way from Mumbai and my stomach has never ever behaved like this as today. I have had terrible stomach ache since morning. I have eaten just like I always do. A pretty Kazakh girl is sitting next to me on one side and the other seat is empty. She doesn’t know much of English so we are having a tough time in communicating. Its easier for her to read English so I am writing my answers for her to understand my answers to her questions. She has already asked me about my job, place of stay, birthday and religion. She is an eye specialist, from Kazakhistan, born on 29th April 82. I didn’t feel like eating any dinner yet I had a full meal and now my tummy is going crazy. This has never ever happened earlier, wonder whats happening to me now. Yday I was sneezing the whole day, wonder who was missing me so much or what allergy did I suddenly catch. This season has been troublesome as I have caught a cold 4 times as compared to just once in any season earlier. Either I have become bloody careless again with my health or things have become worse and my immune system has weakened. I guess its because of me missing her and being careless to no limits that I have become like this. I don’t know how much do I weigh now but I do remember she telling me “ bas karo mottu, itna mat khao nahi to phat jaoge” that was months ago and now there’s no one to toko me and stop me from having unlimited non veg and sweets. I have been having chocs like anything. I have to finish the Bali and HK trip chocs before they go bad plus chocs are an anti-depressant. My health has been down like the economy and I am now fiercely wanting to be fully fit and running again. I mean how long will I continue to burn in this fire. Being alone most of the time hasn’t helped and being with friends has been so relaxing and a pleasant change. I have definitely gained from spending more and more time with people and just listening to them even I don’t talk much. Places and people where I do talk a lot, I have been so much as ease and peace of mind as have been with my own people, friends and family to keep myself busy and cheerful. I have attended 4 marriages this season and all have been of a different type. • Jaat wedding • NRI wedding • Baniya wedding • Punjabi wedding The last one was of a close relation although I didnt know them earlier. But the moment I was there, I knew I was with my own relations and that made the wedding a whole lot of fun. Being close to the dulha and being the only guy around with him >> priceless. Especially, when there were 2 girls with the bride constantly eyeing me and wondering how and where to start a conversation with all the parents and relations around. It was me who was with Mama so I didn’t have a care in the world about who thought what and who did what. That’s one thing I have learnt from the last few months and in the current job profile. Just do what you want to do. People who have to talk and make trouble will do so no matter what and people who will support you , will do so not matter what.
