Drink, anyone?

Stepping out with my red sunny’s. Its lunch hr and I got a friend picking me up. Have I started to meet people with an open mind?

Hold on. Don’t jump to conclusions. I only meant that earlier it took a weeks planning, and then last minute confirmation and maybe a phone call before an hr to say ‘hey can we catch up another time’! Bah!

Its all good! Catching up with friends, old and new! But my schedules are usually whooped. Not that they are better now but I have a long list of people I’m yet to catch up with.

Thinking, when Guide was around I managed to be with him for long in spite of extended hours, busy days and yea early mornings! I guess it’s a choice I made!

I happen to be at a Swiss design talk last weekend. I entered when the lecture was on. My eyes were moving all around looking for my design school friends. I was there briefly and on my way out, ‘bump’ I met two friends! One of whom I’m trying to catch up for long now!

Siva reminded me its gonna be 10 years since we finish school next yr!
But I only remember catching up with everyone from school a couple of years ago. Thanks to social networks!

There are plans and then there are plans. Some social events, some with lotta glitterati, some quite dinners, some gaming sessions, some beer guzzling contests and some pyjama parties! And most times I end up feeling if I didn’t do any of these I might turn into a recluse!

I neva was a ‘junkie’. I liked sitting at home, as time spent with Ma was always something I chose over others.

Somewhere within, after having worked and met people, I understand the need to network but I still prefer time to myself. I can’t do rounds of coffee and chatting away if there wasn’t a reason. I would quietly sneak home!
