Its all about friends

It has been a stressfully busy couple of months. The only time we got to see a movie was on the night of on the the Diwali holidays when we snuck away for a late show. Haris work is competing with my work to prove one is a worse time hog than the other.

Btw, taking a step back, Diwali was so much fun! After being away from India for 6 years, Hari and I were celebrating a 'real' Diwali again. It was simple....we spent lunch and afternoon with Hari's folks in South Mumbai and headed North to meet my folks and had dinner with them. The next day, we hung out outside our building playing with firecrackers like 6 year olds. Even our building watchmen and our neighbouring kids got into it full enthu! Then it was back to normal :-) But we sneaked in a few magical moments in between which were aweseme.

OK, now coming to the part about friends (as hinted in the title and subsequently never got to the point of until now) - I am happy this week. It has been a shower of friend's visits and meeting up for coffee (tea actually) sessions and just chilling out. For the first time since coming back to Mumbai, I have been able to mentally turn off completely from work and just chill out for a while. It has been a steady stream of lunch or coffee with the Pri, Sej, Swapna, Gaurav and then had a surprise visit from Sandy which has been fun. Hari and I also got to catch up with Aparna and Ankur in Delhi. I could certainly make a habit of that :-). Happy Birthday Aparna BTW.



So, the point of it all....What is happiness all about? Its all about friends :-)
