reaching college about 25 mins late, and seeing the class half-empty, with the benches cleaned and stacked at the back. evidently, the cleaning staff knew something that we didn't :P
escaping within 15 mins to a friend's pg, putting our feet up and chatting nineteen to the dozen.
go shopping.
have pizza for lunch.
visit blossom (for the non-bangaloreans, it's the best bookshop around, selling both new and old books at really affordable prices) and refuse to leave inspite of friends threatening to abandon me and go away.
indulging in an orgy of book buying after what feels like ages. every time i'd (be dragged) to the billing counter, i'd wander away again and return with another "must-buy" book :P
really being dragged out by force by friends after buying about 14 books and beginning to angle for the 15th one.
going shopping again. (clothes, this time)
beginning to complain after a finicky friend just couldn't decide on what to buy (those books were heavy!)
finally concluding the shopping session to everyone's satisfaction.
going to cafe coffee day, bagging the sofa. sipping on cafe mocha and playing scrabble.
dissolving into laughter when a friend sitting opposite me angrily demanded how dare i pass off an "ulta dog" as a word. ( i made GOD. yeah, we were playing at really elementary levels, and i had very useless tiles)
saying fond goodbyes all around, since we won't be meeting till college reopens.
coming home and spending most of the time soaking in the feeling of being surrounded by books clamouring for my attention.
chatting on the phone for more than an hour with someone who's fast becoming a dear friend. (am just realizing the inordinately huge amount of talking i accomplished that day :P)
blissfully contemplating 14 college-free days ahead.
ah, life is good :) :)
PS: Many thanks to HP and M4 for the award! i'd pass it on soon! :)
incidentally, i don't seem to be able to paste the pic and description of the award. can someone help? :(
