Another lazy yet refreshing Sunday

Hmmm…! It’s, Sunday, 13 January 2008, Lohri Day, the Delhi’s winters have calmed down a bit. Though it’s still chilly but we are all waiting for the warm February and the spring breeze…..


I got up much after the birds stopped chirping… at about 10am and decided to take blogging seriously…..after a hot cup of adhrak wali chai began my day with a movie on HBO Three Wishes… a very mediocre film and something I’ll forget in a week’s time. This was followed by nth re run of FRIENDS 2.5 hours end to end on Zee Café, I mean there were days when I used to laugh my wits out at the slightest indication of the fact that chandeller is about to twist his face but that was then… I have had my share of friends, and I’ll always remember those days lovingly….. Hostel, friends and F.R.I.E.N.D.S…..

I did usual stuff followed by an unusual chit chat with a very old school friend, she had come to my place… and we guys were discussing (like grown ups!!!) the various investment schemes available in the market, mutual funds and the usual tax saving chit chat everyone is having these days…..


Now, we the people, Barkha Dutta has been my favorite since childhood…. But somehow I miss all her discussions these days, I missed this Sunday’s show too, could catch just the last 5 minutes of the discussion…. And guess what they were discussing about us, bloggers ,. I heard someone saying that bloggers are giving serious completion to the writers. I know this hardly matters but Barkha was all thumbs up!!! And decided to start her blog by the end of the show…… 


Went for a long walk by EOD, it was really chilly but I enjoyed every step I took. People had already started celebrating Lohri… fires were seen outside almost every home down the street. People were smiling, their faces shinning in the warm glow, kids running around the fire, grown ups sitting on the garden chairs , mothers warning their little ones to be cautious….. Some dhol wallas played the bhangra tunes around the corner, and as I passed by I realized how much I love all this… we’ll start the Lohri celebrations in a few minutes so bye until we meet next time……..
