Well yay it’s the weekend. And my first thought is, shall I make this a weekday only post? It is times like these that remind me the ego sometimes has a positive role to play. If I can eat, sleep, shower every single day, I must be able to write too. And whoever stops thinking?

So the good part, having friends over. When you attend a full blown, big fat Indian wedding, vacation about for almost a month and reluctantly get back to the grind, well, no matter how cosy your home, no matter how comfortable the city, no matter how good your life, you miss people. You miss the love. You miss the celebration. Being an NRI may have it’s perks, but in the last two decades, I have realised, there is something more important than the discovery of gravity. And that is what one gravitates towards. The plain answer – friends. Our home away from home.

Need I mention, it is fun to dress the house up for them, cook for them and spend quality time together. It also gives me a high to think I am staying put on my commitment to post daily. I may end up with plenty of trashy posts for the lack of time, but I am willing to stick it out and observe my experience in the process. For a compulsive routine breaker, this decision is a tough cookie!

P.S. Third day in a row and I am almost posting around the midnight mark.

Notes to self – Start early no matter what.
