Saturday Night...Time for Delight

There are these rare days where misery and hope collide one losing out to the other

After location scouting for over an hour, trudging through University's rolling slopes, in the cold, empty stomach, losing my way through staircases that led nowhere and doors that didn't really help me get where I wanted to, I landed up at Marshall Street craving for Waffles. 7 phone calls down, not a single person was free to have a meal with me....

Giddy, mad, and wanting to shout the f word loudly for the whole campus (stark raving mad woman images can be conjured here) I stormed into the library. 25 minutes later, a watery tea, a croissant and banana down, I finally trudged to the bus stop

I convinced myself to hammer out one chapter of Commn Law and the evening rolled in

Jacque came to my rescue (as usual). Carmine accompanied me

Asian story fry, Malibu with Apple cider, double helping of chocolate chip dough and a steaming cuppa of peppermint tea....the ladies entertained me with their performances to Les Miserables and Anastasia.

Tip to my male readers and friends : never give up an opportunity to befriend or date women who have been trained in musicals ;)

Long discussions also happened - of unconventional endings for romantic comedies (Carm is doing a TV research paper on it this semester), ex boyfriends who would have made unsuitable life partners, dates which made you think why you are unwilling to make use of whatever
(read who) comes your way for now, of pumpkin ale and becoming someone's therapy (Jacque was victim to it today by a 40 year old who is recently separated) and the lack of intelligent dating sites in India.........

Came back and danced like bonkers to music just for and by myself ..after aeons..and then for R on Skype who was too happy being regaled by this virtual Saturday partying with her best friend in NY while she was sitting in Singapore

I get by with a little help from my friends .....
An evening with women like Jacque and Carm makes up for all the crappy Saturday nights, blues and home-sickness

Like Ma says "Saturday Night, time for delight!!!"

:)

delight..........
