Another amazing weekend.. another one without much sleep.. but I am still not complaining.. :-)
Started earlier than Friday.. on Thursday itself. Well actually said that to put in some praise for myself ;-) cooked rajma on Thursday.. and they tasted amazing! It was like Christmas in my stomach! Feels like I am a natural at cooking :-)
Friday - The start of the weekend was not that good.. went for the movie Ek main aur ek tu.. And trust me.. it takes a lot for the movie to make me walk out on it.. And this one had it all nicely packaged! So I moved out midway.. having a couple of beers sounded so much to be a better idea! :-) And then the night got better.. went out pubbing and then some clubbing.. danced to my heart's content.. And came home in the wee hours of the morning.
Saturday - Had booked tickets to the Rotterdam ATP tour semi-finals.. The agenda was to see Roger Federer play! And did we get a treat... That man is as awesome as awesome can be! It was an honor to see him play.
And then it was dinner at a friend's place in Rotterdam. And his wife is pregnant too! Looks like its a baby boom out there! :-) They were having a discussion with Sudhakar and wifey about the first ultrasound that confirms the baby.. And it sounded so awesome.. 3 inch is the size.. and you can see the heart beating, the two parts of the brain and everything.. would be the most amazing feeling in the world I am sure! Listening to them talk made me want to have my kid right there and then! But can't do it alone.. ;-) Another place another time..
Sunday - It was carnival time! Woke up early in the morning.. was going to Maastricht Carnival with a friend. Was so goddamn sleepy... until dressed up people started getting on the train.. and then it was all excitement in the air! Reached Maastricht and was in for a surprise.. it was snowing.. I couldn't imagine the weather to change so drastically in 200-odd kms.. And boy was I unprepared for that change.. :-(
But nothing was going to stop me anyhow.. I was there for the carnival and there was no stopping that.. reached the parade street.. went into a pub to get some heat in the system first ;-). And then went out partying in the carnival.. I was amazed by the enthusiasm and the energy in the air.. And it was so so colorful.. I have probably never felt more alive.. the feeling was amazing..
Came back home after that.. back to routine. I wish the carnival fever could go on for like forever.. :-)
I am planning on laying low on the coming weekend.. Need some rest... The man is growing old you see. Back to back all fun weekends have tired me out. But I also know the little young man inside me.. and he won't let me lay low.. let's see who wins the fight.
Cheers till then!
