Trip

My weekend trip was exactly what I thought it would be: Lots and Lots of Fun.

It's true that I was very lazy to go back to Cochin and pick up some of my stuff from the flat. But once I made up my mind, nothing could stop me... granted it was after 6 months ;)

I spent Saturday catching up with my ex college room mate, Nims, and bridal shopping with Monkey-ma & Roopster afterward.

Monkey-ma's family were in town to pick out clothes for the wedding. You know how crazy a family gets. By afternoon, the kids were tired and refusing to try on new clothes, the elders were squabbling, Monkey-ma was frustrated beyond belief... it was so VERY familiar and incredibly endearing. :) It also made me appreciate the fact that I do NOT have any younger siblings. *Thank God for small miracles*

We had dinner and got back home by 9:30. I was beyond exhausted by then, but you know it was a good feeling- Being tired mingled with a sense of having accomplished something (We found Monkey-ma's sister the perfect bridesmaid dress and trust me, that WAS an accomplishment).

I woke up next day at 8am, read in bed... Talked to my flatmates (Rachu was there too!)... Lazed around till I couldnt postpone going to DJ's house <-- That was where my next meeting with friends would take place. Talking to my friends was as usual fun. We swapped gossip and stories. We laughed and ate good food... After that we headed into town, where we lunched at our favorite cafe- Cocoa Tree.

I got back home by 5pm, which was when I started what I actually came to Cochin for - packing. Anyway, by 7pm, I was out the door with my flat mates.

My bus was on time, but before that I was able to talk privately with the girls... And our feelings were mutual. I felt as though I belonged in Cochin. Monkey-ma told me that (after Chalu got married) I complete our group of flatmates. Roopster said that the best times she had was with me and the others. It was all so bitter sweet. But life moves on. And deep down, I can't shake off the feeling that I wouldn't be completely happy in Cochin.

And even being lonely in Bangalore won't change that fact. :)
