..."The day I am afraid to do that is the day I am no longer fit to lead. "...

... i set a personal target to post precisely 31 entries this month... which would mean precisely zero 'no show' ... a feat that many of us would boast of in our school time... ninety nine won't do ... the attendance has to be one hundred percent... and before i get more nostalgic about the school time i want to put it on the record that i failed in keeping that particular personal target... like some of the other personal targets that i had set for myself... but hey! that's okay... because this time i was having good time... it feels great meeting old friends and devouring maa-ke-haath-ka-khana...

... the past Friday was almost a freak day... it started and then progressed with some high temper and halla... however as the day was coming to end i was feeling... well... tired... and while i was posting my last adventures i was already exhausted with the frayed nerves... and then there it was... the ever-so-charming Lady Luck... oh-she-is-so ... umm... neways... she smiled and Vikz pinged... it was yet another goody-goody chit-chat with an ol' shipmate friend... and then i pestered him for paying a visit to Shirdi and Nashik... and also suggested him to make it along with another ol' shipmate friend... and then... cop'la minutes later we ended the conversation...

... and then another cop'la minutes later someone pinged me... the same ol' shipmate friend i was suggesting Vikz to come along with... his name starts with letter R ... so i will call him Romeo... (reasons later)... and Romeo told me that he is in town... and i was ever so delighted... and then he told me that his wife is also with him... (it was very dumb of me to ask "where is she?"!) ... and since last time he they were in town we were not able to meet... this time i suggested him instantly that we meet on Sunday... only to get a straight reply that they will be leaving on sunday... and u don't have be a genius to figure out that the only day we cud have planned out meeting was Saturday... and so that was decided ... and then the co-ordinates of meeting were exchanged ... his present house was the meeting point... and it was is on the other corner of the city i am staying ... and that wud mean i have to make a dash straight from the office in case i have to arrive closely on time... and ofcourse he asked me to stay for the dinner... and i can go to any part of the city only to get one mouthful of ghar ka khana...

... now i am not going to blabber about how the saturday was spent in the office because the fun started from the evening... and the final 30 minutes to strike 1700 hrs were harsh... very very anxious moments... that is the moment u don't want to be in the 'cabin'... for watever reason... and this is true on ANY given day... on a saturday this anxious feeling gets squared... finally it struck 05:00 in the clock and i was racing my Vista on the highway... it was raining and i was not complaining...

... now i have never done this... but i am going to take a break here and continue with the story in the next episode post...
