I better mark this, before I forget..

My friend and I sneaked from the office (hey, it was actually not bunking, instead of returing home after the team outing, we went on or girls outing :):) and went on half-a-day outing to Malleshwaram.

 We have been planning this for a year now and finally, we made it on this day. and I'm going out with a girl - friend company after a very long time . With no laptop bags to carry, it was such a cool thing to simply roam around, check out things, debate what we were going to buy, when to buy (buy now or buy when we come the next round:) ), impulsive shopping, window shopping, bargaining, a quick bite here and there, my friend filling me with details of her regular haunts , and finally reaching home at 8:30 in the night! We behaved like college going girls , didnt bother to inform  our families and roamed around in a slow, lesiurely pace..What fun it was..Do I need to mention what a good break it was from the regular routine..

Door closed, window is open

I had a Doctor's appointment this morning in the the other corner of the city and was in a dilemma whether to take the effort to travel that long today or fix up an appointment some other day,preferably weekend. After dilly-dallying for what seemed like forever, I got ready, asked S to get ready and we set off to the weekday "payanam" to the other part of the city. We reach there only to find that Dr has gone to attend some other case and were told will be in back in 1/2 an hour. An hour went by without any clue of when the Dr is expected. Another hour passed and we decided enough is enough and we started back to our respective work places.

Needless to say how I felt the entire duration, for S had mentioned that we skip this appointment and do it later, but I was the one who decided , after spending enough time to arrive at the decision (thats the key here: well thought , This shows what a bad planner/decision maker that I'm especially in situations like these), wasted S's time and put him through the trouble of driving all the way shifting gears every 0.0001 km in this crazy morning traffic.

Well, S being the always-the-good-sweet-soft-spoken-one (he seriously IS ) asked where we were going to have our lunch !! Initially I wasn't too keen on eating out (since I was still lingering in the bad mood of the morning, along with this, some other silly things were cluttering my mind and was being restless since dawn) , then, later chose a nice place and there we went and had a nice sumptuous lunch..

Only later did I realize that I've been telling S for a long time that I would like to have a weekday lunch with him together at some nice restaurant,planning only on the morning of our lunch.. And today, this opportunity came up :) . The whiner in me would obviously point to the not-so-nice circumstances that lead us to have this weekday lunch, but nevertheless, we did have our weekday lunch outing :)  And is this what they call "when one door closes, a window opens"  ? May be !
