26

Coincidentally, it's post number 26 on this blog. And I turned 26 too, sharing my birthday with Galileo Galilei. The grand Aquarian date being February 15. Well, Chandrika loves to pick up choiciest of words to wish on birthdays, and this time there was no particular change in her style. Goes she: "So how does it feel to be on the other side of the quarter?". Nicely put. Laterally speaking, it feels good to be on the other side of the quarter. Literally speaking, well..

Batch mates are getting married, a considerable number of juniors have tied the knot too. Discussions on this topic are gaining major priority in the friend circle. With parents, the casual push is always there, but they know me. Not part of my active thought process at all.

It was Shruti Kothari's birthday on Feb 16, and we're just a day apart. Same year coincidentally. It was nice of Kaveeta and Shruti to come to Kiva yesterday, especially on her (Shruti's) birthday. We had to wait for quite some time till Coming Back to Life was played by the DJ who did not want to interrupt the tempo. Well, Shruti had to wait for a while, since that psychedelic number (our favourite) is one of the last few to be played, signalling the end of the day.

Despite her workload, Meenal managed to carve out some time and made it to Kiva as well. I felt very sad since I could not spend time with her as Shruti chose another table, and being her birthday, I spent quite some time with her. I do owe an apology to Manjit, Nikhil, Gautam, Vaibhavi, Darshana, Khushboo and Kaivalya for being away from them for quite some time on the day where I played host. Coincidences happen, and they continue to..
