One of those weekends

Yo hardly get those long weekends. So We had planned a trip for couple of days to a nearby place (abt 3 hr drive) called SHASHTHA lake. We had booked a party barge and a room in motel for the night and were eagerly waiting for the weekend.Finally after a long working week came Saturday morning.

All set in the morning at 5:30 am we started the journey. When we accumulated people it was almost 6:00 am. Looked like a perfect morning just because it had been quite some while when I had seen the DAWN.soon we were half the way picked up some breakfast. Suddenly it started becoming gloomy. We expected the day to be sunny and partly cloudy so everything seemed fine. But soon it started drizzling and then before we could reach the destination it started pouring. It seemed as somebody was following us and it was RAIN. We reached the destination. It had picked up the pace from where we had left. We were about to take the possession of the barge but everything seemed wet. so finally after a lot of contemplation and fear of the rain we dropped the plan. Even the weather now showed 2 days of rain. So there was no point in staying there. So we started the journey back. Came to a nearby place for barbecue. Grilled some food and were back in our room by 6. We had plans for couple of days but everything ended pretty soon. Just one of those eagerly anticipated weekend ending in exactly the opposite way. Still got one more day but I don't think am gonna go anywhere.

Hi ,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be wow.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Wrists of Steel’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,
