Okay.. Sorry, sorry, sorry.. I know I made it a long wait... and I am really regretful about it.. But then, it also helps me realise your love for me.. in the form of the unreceding pageviews, that keep coming even when im not blogging..

Fine, I will start where I left..
Jan 28th midnight, eh?

XXX

Ok, 29 was great fun.. and it really has to be genuinely great, since I wrote to Naz** later, that I for one moment didnt have to feign smiles.. And you know, I looked good too..

I mean I got lot many compliments.. even from unexpected quarters, like this Madam in St Xaviers.. and this other guy, who otherwise never appreciates me..

Plus, the playful activities there, and endless banter... so many from batch 2002 had come.. making it pure madness.. I danced too..

I guess now you'd probably get a clue how it feels to be back to Delhi.. specially, when I am running out of time for the Cover Story.. and there's Media Watch production going on too..

Just didnt feel like writing..

XXX

But oh, yes.. that Kashmir article.. I know you ppl ought to have been the first ones to know.. so Big, Big apologies for not keeping you in the loop.. especially when it's a defining moment in life..

XXX

It got published in international press!

XXX

How?

Hmmm.. It so happened that N**ir's editor was not in town, which is why he wasnt able to get it published.. and in the meantime, Ramzy Baroaud (celebrated author, journalist) liked it so much that he took it out in The Palestine Chronicle!!!

XXX

Great na?

I owe a lot to you.. It's your incessant love that so often helps me recoup.. and bounce back.. and write!

Thanks :)

Oh, by the way.. yesterday I met Kareena Kapoor.. she had come at Satyam Cineplex to promote her next release.. I thought she looks fab.. but then, who doesn't, in those overdose makeup?

XXX

And yeah.. after a long time, mum befriended me in dreams.. last night.. or should I say today's wee hours.. since i slept only at 2am..

XXX

You know it was very interesting.. in fact funny.. Actually, I have this habit of delaying these essential "must-buy" things.. like your tooth paste, facewash.. soap.. sometimes shoe polish.. little but important things..

XXX

And i don't know why I would just not buy them.. sometimes I'd keep pressing the toothpaste by the edge.. but not go out and buy a new one!

So here was mom, taking me through the shops.. and getting me the things.. and chiding me lovingly each time, and asking me to be more prompt in future..

Sweet na?
