órale amigos...!!!!
It's been quite a hiatus for me but i'm back. Somehow couldn't get words flowing all this while probably 'cos i was gettin my ass kicked by one bitch of a semester. The whole of 7th sem was a disaster (except for a couple of things... :P). but as the vacations commenced, it all turned around.
The last 6 days of November,2009 was just like any other holiday beginning - wake up late, skip meals etc... Little did i know that the single best month of my life was inching towards me. Yes! December,2009 was AWESOME...!!!!
Day 1 started out with it being my birthday (how 'bout that... :P). The only day of the year people remember me and call up to confirm my existence, not to mention their "happy birthday!!" line... The next would be me getting placed in CTS. That eliminated some negative contingencies of the future and made me realize that i'll be making money soon :) . As excited as i was of gettin a niche in the corporate world, the days that followed placement took that to a whole new level (i'm serious yo...!! :D).
Well, i'm goina get into detail now... :)
It started out with my friends and i wanting to break free of our quasi schedules and throw ourselves into uncertain fun. Gokarna was our destination to be and so it was; not until we travelled a minor breadth of the country. The six of us (Akio, Celia, Kacee, Muffin, Naiara and me) would make our way to gokarna and there, who would be waiting for us, was Alonso (who has a huge thing goin on with kacee). Well, i'm gettin ahead of the flow... sry... Travel, we did to halt for the night in calicut. A magical place did we stay in - victorian style ka bunglow (Naiara's aunt's property) ek-dum filmy eshtyle ba... That night was one of those days where the fun over powers any sliver of sleep. The next morning, a six hour train ride, a six hour bus ride, a ten minute rikshaw ride and a trek down a hillock later we found ourselves in the kudle beach ( \m/ ). Risky getting into details of the next hour or two (apart from our kick ass dinner); i'll leave that to your guesses.
Dinner was done and then would officially start our kick butt fiesta. I found myself lying flat on the beach gazing at the heavens, awestruck with it's beauty and eligance whilst the two couples (kacee and alonso & naiara and akio) found themselves in momentous love and bind. One thing wierd about me being on a tour is the 'moments' i spend trying to envision the fun i'd have in the forthcoming days also summed up to "tiempo de la imaginación". So I lay there having a 10 minute "tiempo de la imaginación" allowing my mind to float into the zone. The day ended with me retiring to a shack some yards away from the beach.
Next day was more of a "get used to it", "it's necessary" kinda training session where i had to redefine my threshold of patience, for the good, 'cos it was: [wait for it................] "shopping time"... The afternoon was splended as alonso and i spent time swimming in om beach for the most part, :) goin around askin ppl fr some "malezas" was also fun.
I don't want this to go like a high school essay, giving an account adhering to true time.
Fast forwarding through some rock climbing, swimming, beach volley ball and rugby, we arrive at the camp fire of the fishin century... oh! man..!!! It stared out with the seven of us which later turned into the seven indians (us) and about fifty foreigners, Guitars, drums, saxophones and didgeridoos, in essence, nirvana (not the band... geez!!!!). A surreal setting which i have only dreamt of and had never imagined that i'd live one (not kiddin).
Returning back home, I had to literally narrate every detail to mum, which i didn't mind doing. Now, That was only half the month. I resigned into my plane 'ol life after Gokarna, cos seriously, what cud beat that... I got started with doin what i always love, programming... (m so excited abt this project... achieving things i'd neva thot i cud...). Just when i thought Awesome-ber was rolling to an end, i remembered something i told Kacee some time ago. It was something about me throwing a party to have a gathering of all my friends - Ahem..!!!! :P .... The timing couldn't be better. It was a couple of days to new year and this notion started to gather momentum like crazy. My first party ever; which went better than i expected. Trans music on a Bose Cinemate, in an empty house, got everybody shakin... :)
With that, 31 days of addictive fun came to an end. Awesome-ber was done and dusted and a new decade rolled in. Would i want every month to resemble Awesome-ber? i have to go with 'no' (chill... i'l explain..). Awesome-ber was a month where i discovered my limits and my limitations. A very special time in which the amount of learning i did from all this is beyond words (I don wish to put it in words even if i cud... keep the learnin to myself... :p ) Great friends, quality time spent, i love u guys...
keep hanging folks... I gotta go hunt some grizzlies...
Ta... :)
